Hotshot build

Post by brn2fly »

I’m getting ready to build two rereleases. A Hotshot is one of them. Are there any gotchas building it? I know it’s not as simple as the grasshopper but I don’t think it’s that hard. I just want to cover my bases as this is for someone else.

I've read of people pre tapping or even heating up these rear wishbone lower screws prior to assembly, apparently it helps them stay in position.
I tapped mine on my Boomerang.
Enjoy the build.
