Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

I used a little trick I taught @Tavis when adding hinges... just drill a hole through the hinge line where you want the hinge and then each side will be marked for drilling.

I tossed all the china hinges out and used Robarts glued in with epoxy. Done.

I used my traditional blue DUBRO balljoints vs the included china ball joints. I would happily use the 3mm turnbuckle pushrods that came with the ARF, but I had these blue ones that were the exact same length so I used them for fun.

Joe, where did you get the blue turnbuckles?

Off amazon, I think. Team Associated car stuff.

I think I've mentioned, but I've been really impressed with the shipping charges when ordering off the DUBRO site directly. I got some antenna tubes that were only a couple of bucks, they came in a big long box and the shipping was like $1.50 or something. haha

Fun 4th of July (Jeff had on the whole stars and stripes outfit, hat, shirt, shoes. haha). It was just the two of us (and our wives) all afternoon/evening on a perfect weather day. No bugs for some reason, maybe they take the 4th off? haha The girls bbq's the best sliders on pretzel bread and life was good.

I should coordinate. I just always go blue.

That yellow with the yellow covering looks nice!
