i am about to start the build on my CF 550 and I notice the servos mount to the frame through metal threaded inserts. I am guessing these are metric machine threads so standard servo mounting screws won't do. Are the screws to mount them provided somewhere in the kit? If not does anyone know what size screws I will need to do the job? Thanks.

Any other tips on the build you have will be greatly appreciated as this is my first heli build. I also remember reading somewhere about the one way gear cracking or coming loose and having to CA it. Is this a problem with all of them and if so would anyone mind telling me how to fix it before I have this problem? Thanks again everyone.

My CF frame came with the screws.

They are probably 2.5mm or 3mm.

Yeah I had mine with the frame to, but I had to put washers on to hold the servos fimly. They look like 2mm x 8 or 10mm max (cap heads/hex).
