Now I'm re-connecting the board. Pressure testing is getting closer! I just hope I don't have the same problems you've experienced.

Hi Andrew, sorry to hear about the op not going to plan. I hope it is sorted out soon. Makes working on these things a little easyer ! Is it going to be laser surgery ?

I would imagine yours may be similar to mine in the flexing. Just guessing though, I mean I may have cocked something up in the past. But going to fix it somehow. I cant operate the forward planes till I do.

I have even been thinking of adding a litte bit of the Styrofoam behind the lid, so it sits on the WTC. But will play it by ear. Totaly guessing to be honest !

But one way or another it needs fixing. Same as the prop shafts. Unless the grub screws have something to grip onto, the couplings come loose every time its put into reverse! Just little things really.

But makes it more interesting trying to do it with one hand !

Paul
