<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The power generator is a neat-looking coil with many pipes jutting out of it. It makes up part of the fuselage interior details that I plan on dirtying up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After installing the pipes, I found that it would have been a lot easier if I had installed pipes 9 & 10 first. They sit underneath all of the other pipes which makes installation tricky.<\/p>\n The parts for the heat exchangers are clearly labeled as ‘A1’ and ‘A2’, which makes it impossible to get the parts confused.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The piece that fits between the heat exchangers was tricky to fit in, but it went in with some force.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When fitting the hyperdrive jets, the instructions made the mistake of not mentioning that the flat sides should face each other. Otherwise, the jets will not fit side-by-side onto the pegs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The fuselage now gets closed up with its upper half. The tricky part of this is getting the two metal pins through the small holes while maneuvering the tight-fitting fuselage half.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The whole X-Wing needs to be carefully flipped over to screw the fuselage halves together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flipping the X-Wing over again, I installed the two walls of the droid socket. I then turned on the power, inserted R2-D2, and I tested the electronics. R2-D2’s lights worked, but the motor for turning his head did not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Removing the fuselage top and checking the droid motor, I discovered that one of the wires had broken off. The other wire was barely hanging on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I removed the wires, noting which went where, I exposed some new wire, and I used a wood burning tool with a soldering tip<\/a> to solder the wires back on.<\/p>\n I re-assembled everything and tested R2-D2 again, and he worked perfectly. Being able to fix small electronic connections like this is very satisfying. However, I’m hoping that I never have to look at those electronics ever again!<\/p>\n\r\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nPower Generator and Hyperdrive<\/h2>\n
