Well been on drilling out the holes for the prop shafts and control arms tonight. Well for 2 nights actually. Talk about "check twice cut once". The dimentions for the holes dont exactly match the inner deck that they sent.

They are off by approx 2mm. I know that sounds insignificant but with those tricky retractable planes, and not needing the hassle of tight prop shaft bearings, it has to be exact!

So last night was down to marking up the holes while looking at the motors and mechanisms, and tonight it was putting the marks right and drilling the holes.



and the other end......



As you can see by my scribbling, it took a few attempts to get the holes alligned correctly. But everything now fits and seems to be in ok ?!?!?

Talk about twitchy bum when making the first drill holes
