way in summer when temperatures rise further.

Subject: | TS05 retention query |
I seem to recall that someone on this forum mentioned adding small lightweight
discs near the ends of the TS05 cross-piece, inside the fuselage. This had the
dual effect of keeping the TS05 from moving sideways while rigging and de-rigging
(reinforcing that provided by the ply pieces called out in the manual) and
also improving the cosmetic appearance of the slot in which TS05 operates.
I've searched the back postings using various keywords that I thought likely but
can't turn up what I'm looking for.
Would the original poster (or someone who remembers the posting) please help me
find it? Date of the post, who made it, or a copy of the original would all be
very acceptable.
in friendship
Rowland
