I agree with Crystal. My first concept had the blade retention screw in the same place. (But mine was a BH5.) Tim said it wasn't a good place for a set screw becuase that part of the BH is thinner and he won't be able to put a sturdy number of "threads" there. I would reconsider especially if you're planning on dueling.
Some may leave The Jedi Order; but few leave it alone.

Also from what I've learned the generally accepted practice is to place the retention screw higher up on the BH as this will cause the most amount of counter pressure. (The 2 exceptions being BH 12 and 17 because of their angle.)
**sorry for the double post. I'm using my phone and didn't realize that would happen when I pressed the "back" button. Hopefully a moderator will delete the first post.

The parts list doesn't list a recharger for lithium or NIMH rechargables, a recharge port,etc.
That had me thinking "removable, disposable" batteries, and hence, the advice to use Lithium AAA batteries to get the amperage needed to justify a 1000ma buckpuck.
If that isn't the plan, then please disregard.
AK-47s and Lightsabers, both so fun to build
Thanks for the advice from everyone! You're all wonderful beyond words. And Arkhan, I am going to use disposables, as offensive as that is to Crystal. hehe
