His videos are the best, very high quality stuff from Bruno. I fly vicariously thru his lens. Love the mountain flying stuff, as a Florida flat land flyer the view is no where near as spectacular.

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. After close to 14
hours the little bugger finally popped into place! Wow! It is not as
easy as it sounds. The O-ring is very deformed while in the must
smaller diameter tube and is a real joy to get into that crazy groove
3-4 inches back. Well, at least I can testify that it is possible to
do. I found a few tricks along the way that really helped at the
end. Had I used those from the beginning it would have taken only an
hour or two at the most. Live and learn. If anyone ends up in this
situation in the future and needs to know the tricks, feel free to
contact me.

Looking forward to paying close attention to the Seniors this week!
Good luck all and fly safe.
