3DP Panels are now installed behind the chin bubbles. Really nice touch to the head-on look. I am also in the process of switching the tail servo out for a BK 3005, and the ESC to a HobbyWing V4 60A. Can’t wait to get it back in the air with the upgrades!
So the original replacement rotor head I ordered hasn't arrived yet; its been over 2 months. So I found a DFC head on ebay and thought, what the heck, why not try it. Got it in three days. Installed tonight and will finish up the install and rigging tomorrow (hopefully).
How did the DFC head work? I crash my huey the other day, lost orientation on a cloudy gray day with the camo paint job. Anyway, need to replace the head among other things and have found that the DFC head is the most available. Any issue with clearance in that the DFC shaft is shorter?

Another option (although shipping will probably take a while), is the Garrt head: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223985430306. May work with a bit less tweaking than the DFC.

So I ordered the Garrt head about 2 months ago. Have no clue where it is. I got the DFC head because it was fast shipping. I'm having issues with the head (this is my first experience with one). The stock pushrods are too short and I don't want to unscrew the ball links any more. So I made longer pushrods and hopefully will install soon.
All the international shipping is taking 2+ months now. I ordered a 5 blade tail rotor from Germany and it took over 2 1/2 months to arrive. I also ordered the Willys Jeep from FMS/Rochobby and it shipped 2 months ago. Still hasn’t arrived in the USA.
Finally finished up the Seawolf today and got it in the air for some photos. Really happy with how it turned out. Flies very well for its size, and the tail definitely settled down a bit with the upgraded servo. Next I'll have to get some shots flying next to a PBR..

Even though I like the look of the DFC head, I am not a fan of this one. So hopefully the Garrt head I ordered awhile ago will show up soon. BTW DeltaDart, the Seawolf looks awesome!
I also noticed after a short test flight the other day, just pod and boom, that the servos were very warm. I'll double check the rate I have set on the FBL. The tail servo was fine, just the cyclic servos.
