I was looking threw the decals at the lhs, and they just seemed to talk to me. The CF shaft is working well, but I think it is too thin. I have a cyrohobby outershaft on its way, and I'll let you know all know how that works.

I noticed that but I thought it was an optical illusion of the photo.

nope thats a warp-age! Oh well, just an reason to tear it apart again. Cyrohobby cf shaft and gear came in today. So that will need to be cut down and installed. Its is about twice as thick as the cf that is in there now.

What a great looking bird! Is the pad a combo Frisbie and a steering wheel cover?

Drewed, do us a favor and try boiling those warped blades just to see if they go back to specification. I would be curious to see if they go back, and then stay correct for a while. I've had good luck with 3-mins. boil time.
