Threaded-Coupler Insertion

Twisting a threaded rod into a plastic “inner” can be hard on your fingers, so try this. Grip the rod gently in a drill chuck, run the drill, and twist the rod into place. If you use a variable-speed electric drill, be sure to select the slowest speed. Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
