Again that is what I did." It's not like I'm ready to go flying tomorrow. I'll do what John says and if at final rigging it's an issue, I'll resolve it then. -------- Jorge Fernandez Supersport Fuselage/Forward Controls http://websites.expercraft.com/jlfernan/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 7258#207258 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:44:44 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Grommets From: "n85ae" A lot of hardware stores have drawers full of grommets of various sizes. I visit the local ACE Hardware frequently for stuff like that.
