The phoebus connections are made outside the fuselage, if dropped the pins fall to the ground. I keep mine in an altoid tin along with the pin for the Jesus rod. Gives me one more positive check that pins are in. Box empty, pins in.

Any sources for plastic hemostats (with bent ends)? On the phoebus you have to reach into the wing and pull the brake rod out for hookup. I plasti-dipped a set of pliers but would rather have a plastic set. I was told that using pliers could score the connector ball, not desirable.

Hey JD,
The phoebus uses a small aluminum "fork" tool to extract the control rods from the fuselage or wing. Maybe someone can send you a picture of the originals, I made a few, but I sent them with the glider when I sold it.
Good Luck,
Scott
