Thanks lookyj,

I'm just looking for ideas for the cleanest way to route the antenna down to the skid. I have the servo wires routed and tied up. Mostly I'm down to reassembling the rotor head and rigging. I've seen so much about how to set it up but there are almost too many opinions. How high should I adjust the swash plate to? With the motors disconnected, throttle and trim at half the swash plate should be level right? I didn't check the orings in the blade grips but as bad as everything else was I'm a little worried about their condition. I guess if I have problems I can take them apart later.

Edit: thanks for the pics - those are perfect. I'll get some "after" pics up of my wiring and the airframe overall tomorrow. She already looks much better than when I got her. Would be easier and probably not much more money to just buy new ones in the box but I have too much fun rebuilding them. Should have enough parts to start on three more next week. Somewhere in this I should probably learn to fly them.
