Default RE: Carbon Fibre Frame HoneyBee King II

Received the ESKY frame and got my king reassembled
This is the replacement frame for the carbon fibre edition King 2 ek 018
Good points
- Looks good
-the one i purchased from Jag comes completely assembled
-cost $50.00 about $10.00 less than buying the individual parts and assembling yourself
-tail boom mount has a straight through bolt and nut to clamp the boom
-All bolts are 2mm allen heads, no more philips head screws
-all the aluminum frame connectors and aluminum motor mount are esky purple (good or bad? depends if you like purple)
-Individual parts are available at least jag hobbies shows stock
-it is stock esky so all the esky parts fit, no mods required

Bad points

-requires a longer servo rod for front servo to swash connection
-servo mounts are non adjustable and would require modification for any servo larger or smaller. I am using HS 55's and these fit perfect.
-this is the push rod set needed. Push-rod Head Set
EK1-0598 if you do not have the bits kicking around

A good upgrade over the plastic frame with the mickey mouse screws and flexing problems.
