        Here are some more close up pics of the contents of this kit! Very highly detaiked. As I build this kit I will take pictures of each step as I go through the manual. Ive Already found the manual has differences in what the airframe and their pictures look like. Plus they are difficult to see.

          When installing the vertical stabilizer, take your time and align the mounting holes so that the paint lines up with the tail boom. Also I recommend changing the hardware to stainless steel. The aluminum screws are not good quality and the screws snapped there head when I was tightning them. Prep the vertical pylon with its lights and fittings pryor to installing in the tail boom

                  Or a very convincing Prince Charles - you need to plonk him in an RAF Westland Whirlwind:) Fantastic detail - where did you get him from?

                      So the build is almost complete and is now ready for power on run UPS all the mechanics have been set blade angles are dialed in motor has been checked and verified time for break in. All lights are operational and are programmed with an on and off switch. I have the Aircraft set up with a separate battery for systems and 2 6S in series for the motor independently of each other. this way I will always have power to the Aircraft even if the motor batteries die on me.

                        Hey Chris,
                        first off, awesome outcome. Your Lady looks beautiful. Could you talk me through the setup of the servos and the electrics some time, please?
                        All the best.
                        Andy
