arf build info???? most arfs dont need much building but heres one guys opinion>>>>>>>from 1st looks it was one beautiful creation right out of the box and still dont see how they can make something like that for only $130 !

anyway, flown gas several yrs and new to lectrobirds, so studied the manual, parts etc. then proceded to tighten all screws/bolts etc. and attach all non-moving parts.....

Next was the servo install and probibly the hardest part being thier was little space to work, but after all the cuss words were in place.....

only thing left was the stock fiberglas blade install, radio gear, motor ESC etc. which was a piece of cake but did take some time figuring out wire routing etc.....some here are probibly aware this model is CCPM which I had never delt with altho got some excellent help on RR from Dave, all that involed was printing out the info. and appling it to the setup,will admit it took awhile to absorb and work thru but to my surprise it worked



Fianally if you have any heli build/setup experience at all you shouldnt have any problems.. let us know your experience with this model......o

Theres no such thing as an arf heli. Each and every piece must be gone over, each screw locktited, everything checked for tightness, and correct assembly. I completely disassemble any heli i get weather it is an arf or a used heli, and reassemble it to my satisfaction. But thats just me.

UPDATE>>>>>On this particular model and after a few flights I did noticed some of those funky screws starting to back out around the head area so replaced with allen heads, they seem to be holding well....o
