Much props to Charlie and Matt.
Right on!

:hug: :glasses2:

[dfrazier]

Thanks Charley. I am waiting patiently. I took mine apart tonight so I will have it ready when the new frames arrive.

Do these have written instructions or will you be posting them on your website?

Thanks,
David

[Finless]

As soon as CHarlie gets me a frame (I bet it is on the way) I will be doing a build vid. Also I know Charlie will have some instructions on his web site as he always does...

In the mean time I bet Matt (or Charlie when he is feeling better) will answer any questions you have!

Bob

[Ticidytoc]

Yes the instructions will be on his site. They are easy to follow so you shouldn't have any issues. I used them when I built mine and didn't find anything confusing. It's pretty hard to mess these up.

If anyone has questions just ask away in this thread, it will be helpful to everyone.

Get well Charley !

[Rotorworkz]

Thanks Guys I feel atleast 70% better today still a little yuk in the gut but that should pass
Anyways when you get your kits please post any questions on assembly or errors in instructions and I will do my best to address it

Thanks Again Guys

Charley

[Rotorworkz]

Kits should start rolling into some of your happy hands I have posted the instructions I hope there are clearer than mud :wink: lol please let me know if I can help. I will post linkage lengths tonight

[Ticidytoc]

Great, lets see some pics when you start getting it together. :)

I'm out of town so I can't look in my 600 kit or Charley's HFX kit so I'm asking the following questions rather blindly. Will I need to buy the rods that go from the servos arms to the swash or will whatever is included in the 600 kit work? :dontknow If I need to buy the rods, where would be the best place to get what is needed? I see that Charley has approximate lengths of the rods listed now in the instructions on his website.

Thanks!

George,

Your rods that come with your stock kit are used

Charley

[gwk]

Thanks Charley!! I'm anxious to get building so I wanted to make sure that I have everything.

Hope you are feeling better!!

Charley,
Any chance of getting the brass servo studs in M2.6 for Hitec servos? Also, the carbon Subzero arms.

Mark

[Rotorworkz]

Hi TT!

Just want to say that I think it is great that you make this upgrades....havent had time to look closer at your creations before, but can see that you produce a better product at a better price at the same time ;-) how is that possible ;-).

I am sure Align is looking and learning from you at this moment.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for making our great hobby even greater!

[BobbySmith]

You guys are going to love this frame it goes together really quick and is striaght forward as is all the Rotor workz kits

Nice thread Matt!!

Thanks, But I cannot take credit. This is Charlies design, he put a lot of thought into it along with many hours of work testing and fine tuning to bring a design to the table that I think many will really like.

I only made a few suggestions and can't wait to hear what others will think of the kit.


Bobby, thanks man. I heard you like the addition ?

Matt

[PDC]

Ok, nice to know who are the master brains behind ;-) then thanks to Charlie and Matt :noteworthy

[BobbySmith]

Yea Matt the final frame is really nice my prototype i was flying was about 3 revisions old and it has alot of flights on it.
( NOT PICTURED) There is new anti rotation guide in the Final design instead of modifying the stock Align one i will get some pics of it later today if some on dont beat me to it
Will iam planning on going to Clints next week iam sure it will be getting passed around
:smokin:
