| Awesome info on the head. I'm not the most technical person either when it comes to flybar ratio's. I like the Tame, Medium 3D and crazy as hell label idea. Does the kit come with the appropriate shims for the mesh? It sounds like the main shaft and the crown gear set up is similar to the CS. You had the same problem with that if you forgot to tighten the mast locking collar. I take it the mast collar has 4 screws to lock it down? Is there any support on the bottom of the crown gear by chance? That was one thing with my Vigor that was a pain if you balled it up. Once I put the support under it I never broke another tooth and that gear was expensive. I really appreciate the info. So for servo and head set up everything went together pretty much stratight forward? Todd and Jason at their class teach all the mixing levers, flybar carier, swashplate etc level at flat pitch and servo's to neutral so I would assume this thing is designed to make that pretty easy to achieve?
Thanks,
Greg

The mast locking collar does have 4 locking screws, and sits under the top bearing
The servo setup was very straight forward, as with any eccpm all bell cranks, servo arm and rods at 90 degrees, +- 12 degrees pitch, just followed the rod lenghts from the manual, adjusted rods slightly and atv's at field to get tracking correct.
Just about got 12 tanks of fuel through ours, will start to lean it out, feels very light and very crisp.
The Build was very straigh forward, i like the twin collet on the fan, makes getting it lined up a breaze.
The bottom bearing block is under the crown gear for support.
Clips for the tail pitch slider are tricky, but you do get spares in the kit if one pings off i found the easiest way to get them on is to use an old TT tail hub over the top of the clip and tap the top of the TT tail hub down
