Much appreciated Ralph, but I feel it's pretty silly to spend the money to overnight a set of linkage rods (which would otherwise ship for a couple of dollars via USPS). I have my Fusion 50 to fly this weekend, so I'm not completely grounded, and there's a chance the die I ordered will show up on Friday, so I'm not going to sweat it.
I have some other minor issues I need Matt to take care of as well (one of the landing skid tubes has a kink/z-bend in it - doesn't cause any issue, but it should be straight for what I paid for the kit, etc.), so I'll just get it all done in one fell swoop.
(As an aside, in case Matt or Amy is reading, I really wish there were a phone number to call for support. I cancelled my Whiplash pre-order to switch to the E7, but I was able to instantly get a hold of Brian James at Miniature Aircraft for a plethora of questions before I made up my mind. Sure wish I had that with Synergy. Not a deal breaker or anything, but I figure it doesn't hurt to raise the desire.)
