After you drill the hole, run a piece of heavy fishing line or string from the outside(of drilled hole) into the pipe and out one end or the other of the pipe. Slid the fitting down the string and fish it into the hole from the inside out. It sounds harder than it is really.

To install the fitting, just bend the end of a peice of .256 pushrod, slip the inner part on the bent part of the push rod and just snake it into the pipe through the hole, works wonders.

as im new to the rc boat racing all the little tips come in very handy.

i have had a good start in omra ( England ) in the D Class champinship , three races in and lying in second place so very happy with that , im running one of Dave Marles hulls the sigma 51 with one of his tuned zenoah engines ( GREAT HULL ) so i bought another one so i can put a cmb in it but the engine i bought is verry old so looking for one a bit newer so if you guys know of one at the right price i would be verry intrested
