You guys (and my recent experiences) have convinced me: Friday morning I am headed to LHS to get a good set of tools. Before I started on this part of the kit, I did not realize how much the TREX uses hex screws. I have a great set of phillips and flat-head drivers. The little allen that came with the kit is just not cutting it and the set of metric allen wrenches I have seems to be too loose/soft of a fit.

No worries! I got everything apart no problem. Only one rod was backwards. I fixed it easily. I got the frame halves thread locked (I don't have the bottle in front of me, but it's the blue commercial brand) and got the skids attached. I think that I'm ready for the next step, which according to the manual is assembling the tail section.

Here is a link to a slideshow with three new pix:
