Default ARF 4* .60, extra peices?

I am almost done with an ARF 4* .60, and I have some extra peices. I have gone back several times and I dont know where they go. The extra peices consist of 4 sharp screws that are just under half an inch long, 8 dull thin screws that are just under 3/4 of an inch long, and what I think is fiberglass tape. If you know where that stuff goes it would be great, thanks.

It's been over a year since I built mine, but I think one set of the screws might be for the canopy. I had them plus a small white nylon washer that fit over them to keep the canapoy from misforming when I screwed in place. The fiberglass cloth, I think, would be for reinforcing the wing in the center at the joint, if you wanted to do that. I still have my cloth. Unless the other (8 dull thin) screws fit in any control horn for application, I can't help you. And without seeing what you have used, I am just guessing here. Hope this helps a little.

the plane is complete (short of the decals to cover the servo holes in the wings) and I still have those screws, and nowhere to put them, so they do not go to the canopy

OK then I am at a loss as to what you have left over. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

its ok, from what I see it should fly, all the control serfaces move and are secure, the only problem I am haveing is sometimes the throttle cable bends, instead of pushing the carb. open, any ideas?

I had the same assortment of parts left over. I used wider fiberglass than came in the kit to reinforce the wing joint. If you haven't already, solder any part of the the throttle cable that doesn't enter inside the cable housing at the extreme travel in each direction.

I have another question for you, when it gives you the recomended control movement, do they want you to measure it from the inside, or outside of the control surface?

On a tapered control surface, measure at the widest point. On both my 4*'s, I'm using a little more throw than recommended. Be sure and fiberglass the wing joint top and bottom if you go with extra throw on the elevator.
