Hehehe...well, when it comes to flames, I doubt anything here will surpass
what is common practice in the Air Warrior boards on GEnie, where one cannot
survive without some Nomex underwear;-) If anyone wants to see some
absolutely crushing, vicious, hilarious insults, I have plenty saved.

Geez, that would be complicated to describe in text. Basically, I drilled holes
through the fuselage in the correct exit points for the aileron cables. For the
rudder and elevator cables, I ran them through loops behind the seat, so
they'd look
like they were going tstraight back into the fuselage, and then pulled them out
of holes further back on the fuselage. The control column mounted to another
tube
running crosswise to the fuselage, so I made that wire long and ran it out
of holes
on either side of the fuselage. Confused yet? I am.
The hardest part was getting the wires tight over the blocks they ran over-
once that
was done all I had to do was pull them tight out of the drilled holes.
