Hi everyone I have seen a few people having problems getting the arms to work properly and have seen the instructions say that the arms are numbered 46 and 50 but they are numbered 50 and 51 does anyone know what one is the top and what one is the bottom thanks in advance Chris Campling YouTube https://www.youtube.com/...UCqzCNfXTLIuB8ZkeqVYdh1Q

In the magazine BP 50 is labeled as the upper arm so the remaining arm must be the lower one. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

It's also not that hard to work out. The pivot end of each arm is different. I don't have my copy with me at the moment, but the difference lies in the slots around the hole. I matched mine to the pictures in the issue, and didn't have a problem. Just make sure you are holding the arm in the same position as in the picture. If the slots are the same on your arm as the one in the picture then you are holding the correct arm for that stage. If it's not got the same slot configuration, you need the other arm. Once you know the first one is correct, the other one is a certainty. Current Builds

arpurchase wrote:In the magazine BP 50 is labeled as the upper arm so the remaining arm must be the lower one. Not quite so simple. Logical, but not necessarily correct. As the issue refers to them as 46 and 50, it could also mean that the higher number is the upper arm, so therefore if your arms are numbered 50 and 51, that would make 51 the upper arm. However, logic aside, the pictures in the issue resolve this problem as the pivot ends of the arms differ and as long as people follow the pictures and take notice of the position the arm is in and the number of slots around the hole (2 OR 4) then it should be easy to get the arms correct.

The instructions clearly state that part #BP-50 is the upper arm so the remaining arm can only be the lower arm. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Mine are numbered 50 and 51, it must be a typo error, I went with logic As what coser said, they only go one way because the slots are different. Also the linkage arms are different lengths. Darren
