    ES composite pipes

    I drilled and tapped for a 4-40 screw and placed the spring clamp over the countersink screw head. It didn't slip or fall out in 2 flying seasons. I don't fly it much though.

    I was so excited that I forgot to ask the one question that bothers me. The serial number on this unit is 3167. Has anyone kept a record of when the retaining clip for the piston pin has been redesigned? Is there a way to track if this engine has the new clips in there? Thanks in advance.

    PAU 30% Sukhoi SU-26

    I cut and fit the plastic clip that comes on a loaf of bread. The servo wire goes in the slot. CA seems to hold them. I have a cup full of those things and use my imagination.
