Can I assume that the elevator lever attaches to the elevator control arm at 90 degrees (through the collective pitch control arm) - making a 'T' shape as I think it's unclear in the instructions. But then again I am relegated to the dark, cold garage to make my helicopters as according to my wife 'they are getting bigger and bigger and you spend more time making them than you do flying them.......'

Yes, it is attached at a 90 degree to the assembly but only after the assembly is in the heli because it will not fit through the hole in the frame. With the assembly in the heli, the lever points down.

I know what you mean, it's almost as fun building them as it is to fly. If there was money in it I would like to build them for others.

Thanks - that gets me going for the next couple of hours in between my son shouting - "play with me Daddy!" (I do honest but Sunday is my day :-)
