Errors and Bugs in instructions

I'm adding this list of any errors or bugs in a single place to help folk out if they follow the magazines and find something doesn't work.
And so folk can check quickly for any potential issue before they build a pack.

Pack 4 - issue 11 - Ankle joint
Ankle joint is wrong way round in Magazine - turn upside down with bolt on bottom, not top as in the Magazine.
Note that the later magazines have it the correct way - but that doesn't get mentioned anywhere I've seen so far.
See 'pack 4' post in 'Official build' forum for images of correct way of installing it.

Pack 4 - issue 12 - Knee joint
Not an error or a bug, but a few helpful notes.
The Pin is a pig to get in properly(it was for me) so be patient and wiggle the bits a lot.

Tip one - check the alignment. The small nub on the top of the cylinder joint points to the same side as the large metal flange with screw holes.

insert pin with the knurled end outermost, so you have something for pliers to grip onto if you need to pull it out.
In suggest having a small craft hammer on hand to help gently tap it in place those last few mm's.

And if you put together with the hinge in the wrong way round you may need to gently tap the pin out a bit with a punch of similar diameter or a bit of metal pin/rod used as a punch. Just need to get it out enough to grasp the pin with pliers.


Cheers
Stuntie.

Thank you for those tips, I am sure anyone building this kit will find them helpful.

All the build errors, either magazine or parts have been addressed and highlighted in the official build.
