I would just fill the holes in with balsa or light ply and cover them over. That way you can put your gear the way you want and like.

No matter how "Complete" the plane you get: there is always something that gets your modeling skills involved .

I agree with dimes, fill that puppy in then a switch as small as a http://www.boomarc.com/en/hidden-balance-switch-with-pin-flag and be on your way...

Yeah Kelly, I know. Fixing the holes should be enough.

Hey Robert, funny you should post that link. I was on the Booma RC website last night and I saw that, but somewhere before, I saw one for two switches and I didn't see it on the website last night.

Well Fellas,

I got a few goodies for my Yak on Monday. First off, I got a receiver and an extra from a gentleman on RCG.

Also, I got my servo arms & servo tray from SWB. Do you guys see what I see? I did not realize a turnbuckle wrench came with the Pull Pull hardware, that's why you see the second one. This is all good since I have a bad habit of losing things. . . . . .

Last, but not least a box that @WMcNabb sent me showed up too. . . . . . . .

I don't think my old 3Dub will have any problem spinning that thing. Sitting here thinking, I may have a problem. I will be right back after I check something.

Dang it, Dang it, Dang it. I had a sick feeling I screwed up last week and as my luck would have it, I was right for a change. . . . . . . . . . Some of you guys can probably guess where I'm going with this? While 3W and DA both use six bolt prop hubs on their twins, the bolt diameter is not the same. I had a sick feeling because my flying Buddy told me this a few years ago when he took the DA100 out of his Carden and put the 3W110CS in it. Oh well, looks like I won't be using the prop after all. . . . . . .

Oh No! I had the same problem with my DA100, and thought for sure it would fit your 3W.
No worries. I’ll take it back.

Hey Wade,
That's interesting. I thought it fit your Da as well. Was the bolt circle too small or too large for the DA? Makes me wonder what engine it was drilled for.

That is just painful. That should not be allowed to walk the streets.
