I decided to ignore the recommended pitch setup and go for +11 0 -11. I was noticing the washout alignment pins were dangerously close to disengageing when at +11 deg. I lengthened my swash rods to give myself a safety margin.

To those who have never spooled up a Lepton; doing it in a garage where there are objects for the sound to reverberate off is one scary proposition. Nothing at all like a Rexxy.

I have very few parts left and I don't know where any of them go. Does this mean I am done building? :)

Jack.... your joking right? The only parts you should have are related to the parts given for mounting the Hirobo stuff like the ESC. Also a FEW screws for servos...

ANyway I will be out Saturday with mine and of course that means the videos will be done too ;) WOOOHOOO

Of course I am joking. Did you ever see my spare parts box from my former job. I had hundreds of parts left over.

I test flew my bird this morning. Flew like a larger T-Rex. It is pretty agile; felt more like a T-Rex than my JR Voyager. I was expecting it to be more like the JR as it is similar in size. No trim was required. My knees shook for a few seconds..

Mine is done and so are the vids ;)

I will be flying mine for the first time tomorrow (Saturday).

Time to start on the Trex600 ;)
