Hi i wasnt sure where to ask this I got 3 MPI switches and half the nuts that came with the switches are to big anyone have a clue what size they are? I didnt find them small enough at my local hardware store. they sure are small enough. I tried e-mailing MPI they have not replied thank you all foryour time

Yep, I have the same problem

I CA'd mine in place.. Not the first plane I did it on.. They will pull out if I want to but they won't fall out.. Kinda like Tom's fuel dot I guess..

im gona find some screws i need more velcro as well to tie in the bateries and such. should i keep the regulators away from the reciever?

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_28..._1/key_/tm.htm One guy said.. 4" away from your reciever.. I would go for 6" or so.. and route the antenna away from any other wires i/e servo leads.. But I am sure you knew that..

Im sure ill get it i just need a few more extentions is all it will be a lot easyer when everything is here so i can balance it as i go. the servos are going to be an issue as far as where to get them. I know cheeper isnt always the big factor when you have a dead one and its 70 degrees and 5mph or less wind

I called Tom and ordered almost everything for my Edge right there on the phone.. I asked him if HS-5645's were good enough and he said yes.. I bought all 5645's for the surfaces and they do fine.. 11lbs of torque is fine for my flying but that is my opinion..

well i was thinking that i would get all 8611's with the radio the flexiquip deal wasnt to bad but i can save a few bucks if i dont pluss they are out of stock thought about the 5945's i can get 4 for $300 in a few places. I havent considered the 5645's not sure if thats what i want. when i was considering the 8611's i was figuring that if i ever get a bigger plane they would be nice but between my car and my shop bigger isnt an opption any more. this bird is big enough

I just use a teeny little wood screw like a servo screw. I get the socket head screws from Microfasteners.

Drill a 1/16" hole and harden it with thin CA.

I hear you tom I just want to use the backing plate ill get it done. by the way good morning.

Guys,
Try the HD switch that Electrodynamics sells. The backing plate is threaded for the supplied screws. I have never had one fail and they are the same price as the MPI or JR HD switches. No more little washers or nuts to mess around with either. I always keep several in stock as someone always needs one.

MPI e-mailed me a few min ago and said they would mail me the parts. I have to say that this hobby is full of great people that go all out to help you out. I have yet to do business with anyone that is out to make my life hard.

i think the little nuts are 2 mm its either 2,2.5 or 3 mm i know because i just bout several for extras last month

i got them from the Hardware store there lik 3 cents a piece so i got about 20 of each size
