Hi,

I have a issue with issues 71 and 72, I have two keft BF-20`s, so for the right BF-20 I had to flip it upside down to fit, also the one of the rods, will not tighten, no matter what screw I use tried them all, even moved it around the frame it will not tighten no matter where I put it, also tied different ends, all the other rods are ok.

Has anyone else had any of these issues?.

Can this be seen as a problem in the futre of the build?

cheers

If you look at the official build part #BF-20 is simply reversed to fit in position which is noted in the instructions on page 13 picture 5, as the parts are identical. As for the rod it sounds like its a faulty part so contact C/S for a replacement.
Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

if you look through my build diary, you will see i had a similar problem with some of the rods too. it seems as though the holes havent been drilled deep enough. rather than needlessly ordering a replacement i simply filed down the lenght of one of the screws.
