Final Assembly...
Spiro... Thanks for the most excellent advice. I just ran her up for the first time, and I have the proverbial ear to ear smile right now. I'm at work and it's windy outside, so I took it in the studio and had a 6" hover going in a couple of minutes. I CAN"T BELIEVE HOW COOL THIS IS! One of my co-workers has one and he helped me make a couple of adjustments, but, overall it was ready to fly. I have a flaky main gear which I'm hoping LMH will replace, but evrything seems to be great. The swash plate is still a little stiff, but not nearly as bad as it was. I have to work on all of the advanced radio settings, but, in the meantime I will be hard to pry my hands off the TX. I've got a couple hundred hours in a real Bell-206, and that helps me to a degree, but there is nothing like seeing and feeling this thing lift off after all the work building it.
I'm Totally In Love!!!
Thanks for all the support... You guys are great!
