Thanks for all the positive comments! Here's few pics to show the progress of the build. I am very impressed with the kit so far. The manual is excellent and all the parts are top notch.
There is far more plastic in the head than I remembered. But it all seems to be very high quality. There are metal upgrades available, but I don't expect to need those for a while. The head assembled very cleanly and the operation is buttery smooth. The radial arms have bearings in them, something that normally gets sloppy when its only a pin in a hole. There seems to be metal where it needs to be and plastic only where it won't affect the head operation.
The scale of the heli is a little hard to get used to. Just when I was getting comfortable with the massive size of the blade grips, I pull out the flybar and find its about as long as my HBK2 blades. Rumaging through the parts bags I passed it up thinking "naw, that couldn't be the flybar, its way to big".
The gyro came today. It was a long wait for that one, about a month. I knew it would be, so I timed the pre-order to arrive about the same time I got the heli.
Next up is the servo install
