Hello everyone. I am at the point in my build where I am working on the control stick assembly. I bought a #1 taper reamer off of amazon thinking it was going to work but as it turns out, taper reamers are not universal (luckily it was undersized not oversized). On the previous forum, there was a “community” reamer available for borrow. Does anyone know who might have it or if it still exists? Thanks!

I’m really interested where this thing went…

When I looked at the wayback machine, I think Joe in Michigan was the last guy who had it. He also had my wing rig bushings and sent them to the next person when I pinged him. I’ll shoot Joe a text tomorrow and see if he has it.

I ended up just purchasing one and designating it as the new community reamer. I’m keeping track of the community tools here: [Tool Loan Program - #6 by Badger830](https://sonexpilots.org/t/tool-loan-program/4862/6)

Joe is going to check today. It would not be bad to have a couple available.

Robbie’s original reamer is coming back to me, if anyone needs it.

I currently have the taper reamer. I can ship it back or just hold it for the next builder.

I think we have 3! I’ll have to find some things to taper-ream.
