Yeah. I've put the head together now, and the upgrade kit arrived this morning. When I refered to friction I was comparing it against the ECO 8 which has a near friction free belt drive. Also, the tail drive shaft runs through two plastic collets which suprised me. Thought they would be bearings.

Anyhow. Looking sweet so far. Blinkin tough to build though. Especially the push rods. My fingers are soooo sore!

Doen not half look sweet. Sooo well made.

Can anyone tell me how to balance flybar paddles easily. I am running in the motor and I get a little wobble on the heli at low throttle. Never bothered balancing paddles before, but since I'm at this stage now, though I might get it smooth before adding the tail etc.
