If you think about it...it's a very similar build, install the motor same spacing as a YS and following the nose contours....ESC on a small platform under the motor, battery tray I do the very last I install it so I can do small CG change from the recommended C&G so everything as been done wings/stabs installed, control same as before....but now you don't vibration so no need to change the gears once in a while....
The only big difference for me, is the aircraft is all finish so extra care to not damage the shinny paint and the covering.......while putting it together, versus finishing it after the build. How and no bearing changes and big cleanup
just need to removed the bugs once in a while
