since yours is FRP, you can probably even just get one of these reamers to drill the hole, and screw driver and even PLIERS to hold the nut in place while screwing down using washers.

I need one of those! Ken, what should I use to drill the holes? I am assuming a regular drill bit will probably crack the FRP.

i think you can use a step drill bit and you should be fine. for my Ings (CF) i just used my 18v milwaukee and a drill bit for metal.

I need to reinvest in a Dremel for R/C.

All of these expenses and I haven't even touched dirt yet.

I was gonna say... I have plenty of files, but none that are drill attachment. Most of them are hand-me-downs from when my grandparents moved into an Assisted Living facility. A lot of those tools are older than I am

I could make excellent use of a Dremel ... and I don't own one

ahhh... the joys of a new hobby

i use a cheepo corded rotary tool i bought years ago at harbor freight. works great. i dont like the cordless one for dremeling because i dont use it too often, and chances are the battery needs a recharge when i want to use it.

it's not so much the tool, but the bits that make all the difference imho for dremeling.

Yeah, she's about a 6.5, but it's better than not having one at all.
