Has anyone installed the flash trailing link gears from dreamworks rc?

It takes so much work to get them in, in fact we had to cut the inner two holes for the screw and drill new ones to get them to fit w/o having dremmel too much wood off the wing.
I fitted them in nicely and easily. The only rework needed was that I had to bore the inner diameter of the strut to fit the 6mm pin. It wasn't 6mm but slightly smaller, say 5.99999999mm. I did it at the end and now I'm really satisfied with their performance.
With the stock units every second flight I had problems and had to reset them. With the Dreamworks struts the problems are gone.
Here is a pic:

How did you bore the inside diameter of the strut? Do you mean you sanded the strut until it was 6 mm? If that's the cast, that is A LOT of sanding as the struct's outside diameter is almost the width of the restracts.
