OMG, I love it! you've even took your engine apart! you've definitely got a 50 frame. I was hoping you had a 401 gyro. state of the art for that year helicopter. You're in great shape
I run all my helicopters with a futuba TX/RX airplanes I do spektrum. I don't know what TX you'll be using but assume that you've got a spektrum RX be using a dx for your TX . the Programming is going to be critical for a good flying helicopter. as far as blade pitch curve and throttle pitch curve. Also the gyro will be programmed in the TX. I've never used a pitch gage, just calipers. well built machines for sure. Mechanically you're sound. the link rods to the blades I measure and get identical with in .001 in my opinion better than pitch gage.
If you need any parts that you can't find, let me know. I've 2 SE titans, a r 50 and 3 r 30's. plenty of parts but also have a good feeler out for where you can buy parts. Feeling blessed to be able to be a part of your reconstruction.
