About 2:00 minutes in when assembling control rod connectors to the arms, simply drill a 1/8" hole into a wood block near the edge (see video), using a bright light so you can see, place the small black clip over the hole with "protruding side down", and using your hands only, align the post over the hole and press it through. You will feel it "bottom out". This takes a little pressure, but not much and definitely don't use pliers!
It is cool! I've got about 40 flights on it, about 10 of those being indoor. It takes crashes like a champ due to it's low weight, while being able to do all the 3D maneuvers I can throw at it.
When shrinking the shrink tubing on the 4 control rods DO NOT use a flame ... the "snap prongs" melt instantly!! A trim iron works great. The video (which is quite good) should NEVER have shown a lighter passing over the shrink tubing.
Great tips
I will reference this video when I build my laser 200 EPP. Should be here in a few days.
very nice!

what size battery are you using?
On my super-lites and this one I use a 2S 380mAh battery.

Great tip, agree one must know what they are doing when using a flame!
