Controls Parts

Continuing with the controls, I started with the flaps. Missing hardware prevented me from fastening the control stick to the mounting rod. So I moved on to the aileron/stabilizer control and got the stick attached. Then on to some pulleys, mounting brackets, and most everything required to put it on the fuselage.

Hardware

I’ve complained about missing hardware a million times and I apologize. We’re both fed up. And the $6 shipping cost each time I order a couple bolts or nuts has been adding up. Enough! Today I spent several hours listing all the hardware call-outs in the plans (the pages I’ve yet to work on), taking inventory of the hardware I have on hand, and made a list of what’s missing. $130 on Aircraft Spruce… Keep in mind that most nuts, bolts, washers, etc cost a few cents. That should give you an idea of how much hardware is missing.

Despite the nice presentation of WB Parts OneX Hardware Kit, it is severely lacking. If you’re gonna build a OneX, I’d seriously consider AirWard’s Hardware Kit. It can’t be worse than WB’s kit; that’s for sure. And I’ve been very pleased with AirWard’s other kits in addition to their service. When you email them, you get a response from Dave WARD. Can’t beat that.
