It's DONE!!!!!!

Finally this thing is back to flying status I still have some fine tuning to do but I just got done doing test hovering and everything seems to be working. The blades are Align 325 Pro woodies the white part with the align logo is underneath because of the CCW rotation. I also added a Eflite 10T pinion to match the B400 maingear and it runs very smooth

Update: I realized after posting the pics that I forgot to flip the tail
blades and tail grips so this has been changed and the tail rotates toward the main blades now

Sweet looking heli. Wonder how much time you got in it? Carbon on the tail blades wouldn't look bad either.

Thanks Sgt. I don't even want to know how much time I have into it but I know it's a lot Yeah the white tail blades really don't match anymore.

Since I changed everything to CCW I can't tell the difference. I guess that's a good thing. The only thing I've noticed is that it's a little more touchy with the 325's. I'm guessing that's because it is probably very light for a 450 size bird. Wish I could weigh it

The 325's will give you more lift so for now it's going to be twitchy until you get the body on it and that should calm it down some...

That's what I'm figuring. Heck I'm lifting off at 1/2 throttle in reg. mode right now
