Assemble the re-release Grasshopper

It is almost 30 years ago that I helped my friend to assemble the grasshopper. It is fun to do it again. I got this re-release grasshopper 7 years ago and finally start to assemble it. Hope to share with you all more after I'm done.

Is it the original one or candy green ?

This is the re-release version that I got it few years back. Not the original one.

Oops. Sorry for misunderstanding your question. Thank you to let me know that there is a "candy green" version. I didn't know that until you share your info. Mine is a the same old white one.

Black Edition Grasshopper ~~~~

haha. Good job with the color.
I start my assemble work more than 1 week ago, but I still don't have time to "touch" it again. I think I can focus to work on it much better 30 years ago

oh. now I got it. Thx to share your trick.

I can't believe that I took 2-3 months to get this small project done. I can feel that my priority is not on RC However, I'm happy to get it done and it reminds me my feeling to assemble my first grasshopper almost 30 years ago. Time to move on to different RC project.
