This is how your kit will arrive
When cutting the hardware package open use caution. The contents are
semi-coiled to fit in the box. They will spring open very quickly. You also
want to avoid cutting or losing any of the parts in the bag. Safest
method is to slide the carbon out one at a time, leaving the bag coiled.
All kits come with motor mount tube and screws. A poly-card with the
needed control horns (and other poly parts if needed) Heat shrink tube
(self adhering) for control horns (do not use CA with this). Wire for zbends is also included. Ohh, and lots of carbon fiber.

A simple and very effective
method to prevent epp hinge
failure is to glue in fishing line. A
shallow slot is cut across hinge
line and a piece of fishing line is
inserted. Do this at both ends of
the hinge and at control horn.
It is possible to use many other
filaments. Various threads work
well, nylon, kevlar, etc. If using CA
be careful to avoid the glue
wicking into the pivot. Filament
packing tape also works very well
