as Jon said - we all went to losi or HB D4 mounts and didn't have one problem.

seems to me that some thought and money should have been spent in this area on some well designed, decent quality tooling for the x-6 sq. or at least a redesign of the part itself to make it more consistent (i'd have prefered if they were done properly for the MK1 X-6 but there you go....)

shouldn't they just work without any mucking about ? (like most other wing mounts) or is it expected to have to fix these issues as part of the build ?

rant over....
Certainly rant over, lol!!! Nick, could you PM your mobile number... I need to try and sort out an evening with you (hello sailor) to get some designs on the CAD system for my carbon fibre X6 chassis.

Either that or I'll be at the St.Johns club this evening!

Cheers chappy, Jon Seals!
