Yeah, I learned that the setup for the ARF is much easier than the kit. I wouldn't mind getting a set of flying wires from the ARF version and using them on my kit. (Anyone got any lying around? )

For the kit version, you have to cut 10" threaded rod down to 6" (for the bottom) and 7 3/4" (for the top). Then you have to cut the pinned arm off four solder clevises and four metal screw-on clevises. Then you get to solder on the solder clevises. Then you thread on the threaded clevises. Then you bend the clevises (that's where I screwed up and broke one). Then you attach them.

Sounds like fun doesn't it?
