I too have just bought a slightly used 2X2. I am very excited about it. The previous owner followed the instruction very well and constructed everything properly. He included the manual and wing bags with the consignment sale at my LHS. I have the following questions about the aircraft. Please help me with them.

- Each wing came with two plastic nuts. The manual does not reference this. What is the purpose? for double-nut locking?
- The fuselage sides where the wings butt up to show wear as others have pointed out. What can I do about this? nothing to worry about?
- I can see that with sudden accelleration/decelleration in flight that the wings can buckle the fuselage sides at both leading and trailing edges. If I mechanically fasten the anti-rotation dowels at the leading edge as part of the wing installation, it will eliminate this problem. Has anyone come up with a solution that allows quick installation? aluminum rods with slits cut at both ends to capture both wing dowels and cinched down with pipe clamps?
- The 2-piece landing gear appeared to have pulled the fuselage halves apart some. Has anyone tried to fasten a short strap across the two gears? strap made out of 1/8" sheet aluminum? plywood?
- I am installing a new DL-50 on the bird and metal gear servos ST125, HS-5645. Acceptable? concerns?

Thank you in advance for your help.
