Guy that was a real PITA  . I added a small drop of cyano to the scratched tail attachment point, then added the 0.135mm rigging to it. Then I cut a 2.5mm piece of a 0.15mm glue applicator and threaded the rigging through it  . The forward antenna mount was drilled with a 0.3mm drill bit(the smallest I have) and the rigging threaded through the hole. Before I pulled it tight I added a small drop of cyano to the thread, just in front of the hole and pulled it through. That way the rigging was fixed in place forever. |
