Default RE: Sig LT-40 Build

I replaced the servo mounting screws with Dubro hex head servo mounting screws. Easier to work with than the stock futaba phillips screws.





After removing the servos, I used one of the hex head screws to tap each hole since the hex head screws are slightly larger than the stock servo screws. I then applied a drop of CA to each hole to strengthen them. Had to poke a few of them with a toothpick to break the CA in the middle of the hole so it was open. After they dried, I reinstalled the servos with the hex head screws. Sure like working with them vs the shallow headed phillips servo screws that came with the servos. No worries about stripping the hex heads.

Also read a tip a while back about putting a clip on the Rx switch to keep it from accidentally switching on while in transit and such. Mine is setup so out is off and in is on so this worked great - plastic clothes pin fit perfect...
