You are my hero of the week! 
I was putting the grommets on Sunday morning for the maiden flight - and those things are stiff! I even had one shoot off across the room like a loaded spring. Then I remembered what you said in the post.
I was thinking, how do you handle them when they're hot, how could this possibly work, etc. etc., but I decided to give it a try.
So I pissed off Mandy by boiling them in one of her nice pans -  - and then went back to install them. When I took them out of the water, they still felt stiff, but each one popped into the canopy with only about a second of effort! How cool is that!
Thanks for the recommendation dude!
I got a helicopter for my girlfriend,
It was a good trade! |
