May I ask why the 9ch rx instead of a 9ch powersafe rx?

I had one on hand because I bought another DX18 for buddy boxing, and this size of a plane the servos have no problem with current draw so no power safe or power distribution needed.

If you happen to have a Joann Fabrics local, you can get it there also and it is cheaper than Amazon

On the home stretch, we'll have this little guy ready to fly tomorrow.
I use a soldering iron with an xacto blade to cut out the openings through the covering.
TIP - On the holes for the threaded control rods if you cut out one side, then soak the inside with thin CA to harden the blocks it works amazing. Let that cure without accelerator and then cut out the opposite side. Drill those out with a 1/8" drill bit and then install the hardware. NO crush just in case they happen to have used soft wood.
Make sure to Lock-tite the little horn as you tighten it up.
On the gold hardware make sure to check that the little insert is fully seated that holds the little nylon washer. Also remove the screw and re-install it with lock-tite.
I set up my pull-pull wires, they need to be crossed.
I also set up the elevators and set up my "IMAC" throws wink emoticon Make sure to ALWAYS set up your surfaces to where you want them for 3D or High rates and then tone them down in your transmitter for low rates (@Tseres even if you don't fly high rates much) because you never know when someone else may fly it or you may eventually want higher rates. That way your surfaces are balanced for both high and low.
