Want to thank Gary Hoffman for making and sending me these cool little 3d printed DA-60 choke brackets. Makes it way easier and adds some bling. I think he can print them in several colors.

I got a few from him yesterday for mine and Patrick's 60s

He said to use red rtv kinda thick, he also said that Arron Bates and himself have used them all season and have had good luck with them staying in place.

Got a lot done in the last 24:

Control horns installed, and the servos, rods, & extensions are done too.
Engine mounted, tank installed & lines run, landing gear installed, and receiver mounted.

Just need to cut the cowl, mount the choke bell crank, and install the IBEF.

I do have a unique problem though. One of the hinges on the rudder seems to be installed incorrectly, and this causes the rudder to make a loud pop as it swings back and forth. I tried cutting the covering near the hinge and applied some CA, but it didn't help.

Anyone have any ideas?

I would bet that the hinge was epoxied in with a twist... bet you'll have to cut all of them, and melt/drill out the hinges and re-hinge to fix it. Or just fly it until that hinge breaks and hope the rest hold it on

They're the removable rudder hinges...

Gary are you going with the GP-61 again?
