Default RE: BRIO Construction by the numbers

It was suggested if you have the kevlar version of the kit, get a soldering iron with an exacto blade mounted which helps cut through the material. I have the fiberglass version, which is a lot easier to work with than kevlar. Not worrying about the final edges- you can build tools using large dowels with some sandpaper glued to it for final shaping of all the holes before painting.

Next I moved back to the stab. This was much easier than I thought. Everything lined up nearly perfect. I just screwed in the adjusters, put two small pieces of outer-nyrod pushrod tubing at the exit of each adjuster screw through the sheeting. This provides a clean hole and easy access to the adjusters.

I used a piece of 3/8 tubing to cut a coupe of dounuts which I glued to support the front piece of rod.
