I got mine, it flies
I went to undo the screws to use blue locktite, but it seemed my metal to metal screws and nuts had been sealed with something.
Then I went to move the control arms in on the servos to slow down the reaction but the darn things were a bear to get out and I had to use small screws to reattach the arms to the servo horns.
Then I took it up,
Very hot,(high speed head) very responsive, but it tipped over and broke one of the plastic balls off. oh well I put on a metal ball that I screwed on. I think it was the size that fits an EF shogun.
And then I put on training gear (the ones with ping pong balls on the ends) Well I got up and down and burned a battery pack (oh I changed to deans plugs and got a lipo 1350 bat) and hovered about 1 to 3 feet in the living room.
This bird is a little to hot for me in the living room really. I think I will try to get used to flying it outside and see how I like it. When the battery gets low it is a lot easier to control.
I would have to say that it seemed pretty nice out of the box. The locktite and adjusting the control arms were precautionary.
The little plastic ball connectors on the head and arms are weak but with a bag of replacement balls you can just screw them on when the originals break off.
Next weekend I hope to fly out side and see how sweet it is.
But I can say now that it is very responsive and harder to fly than my Shogun and harder to fly than my Sabre. In both cases its because it moves about so quickly. But it is fun and with a little more space it could be real cool.
I have a bout 3 feet wide and 6 feet across so any quick flight in any direction is wall threatening ! HAHA.
