| As for building it, it's actually a breeze. I was able to put the kit together in about 3 hours (minus electronics). I only used 19 drops of CA to put the thing together. Remember to use CA SPARINGLY since you will end up debonding some pieces such as the landing gear when it breaks from crashing. It also keep it from being "CA heavy". Also DO NOT CA the tail boom onto the main frame. When inserting the boom into the main frame there should be enough tension to hold the boom in place without CA. The reason for this is that if you do crash, instead of the boom breaking, it'll give way by twisting. It'll also make it easier to do maintenance on the tail in case the boom does break.
Make sure you CA the lead weights in the rotor blades or else they will fly off and end up hurting something/someone.
The blue blade covering that comes in the kit sucks, they eventually start peeling off. You may want to spray some 3M spray adhesive on it. You can actually use a lighter covering like Coverlite or some other light Monokote type of material that you can just iron on to save weight.
Also make sure you don't forget to snap in the head clip.
I fly a 10X so I have no clue on how to program a 9z.
That's all i can think of right now (it's 12:30am here) so hopefully someone else can fill you in on whatever i missed.
Other than that, you should be happy with your lil micro. I know I love mine. |
