Hi,



I'm working my way through the fuselage build and thought I'd take a look at the doors.  I notice that my kit does not contain any DL11F or DL11R push rods (or the earlier DL08F and R) that are supposed to be 10 x 5mm rectangular aluminium section.  I do, however, have some aluminium rod of 10mm diameter supplied which has a part number of B1RM and the size of this looks like I could make some push rods out of it!



So, does anyone know what the B1RM material is used for or whether this is supposed to be used for the door latch mechanism?  If you do, is it written down anywhere as the online manual still calls for DL11F & R.  I can't find any mention of B1RM in the manuals yet it is called for in the packing list.



Thanks,



Phil

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Phil,

 BIRM 10mm is the 10 mm rod used for the pushrod construction.  3/8  inch is ok if you goof one up.

 When building your pushrods do not cut the flat sided pieces (the end  of the rod which attaches to the DL06 shoot bolts) to the final length  recommended in the instructions.  Leave them as long as you can so you can  adjust the bullet end to get good penetration into the fuselage, yet clear the  door DL07 shoot bolt guide.   It takes me about 1 hour to build all  four rods and fit them, so it really isn't that bad of a job.  Like most  things, "you've gotta' tweak them to work like glass.

  

 If you need any other parts or techniques, call me at the shop,

Hi,



Thanks for all your replies.  I've been correctly informed that the parts I have are pre-mod 67 but all the manuals I have refer to post mod 67.



I actually want to do this mod and so I'll need new pushrods.



At least I know what the aluminium rods are for now!
