yeah and i'm looking forward it.:YeaBaby:
one thing i'd like to point out, i've been into cars for quite a while and i must say the parts on this heli are so tiny! i was like "is THAT supposed to be a servo?:confused: "

LOL...I completely agree. I was in the same situation, I raced cars for years then got into heli's and I couldn't believe how small the servo's and other equipment was...

I too come from cars, and was saying the same thing when I was building my Mini Titan.
I have to use Magnetic tools to put a lot of the smaller parts on, or pliers. My eyes and fingers struggled especially on the Elev servo, and the screw right under the receiver tray that secures the landing gear, I was cussing up a storm on that one.

I may be wrong, but I think you may run into a problem with that radio. Isn't that the Futaba 6-channel that doesn't allow you to adjust servo subtrim? If so, get yourself some blank round servo wheels so that you can drill a hole for the ball-link at exactly 90* for the control rod.

i read about that but i'm very resourcful,i'll deal with it when time comes ;)
+ i know it was a problem with hitec servos but i have yet to see if this will be a problem with these maxwell digital servos (i know not the best but this whole package cost me $500 )

Oh I wasn't knocking your choice.. for $500 that's a great deal. Just wanted to make sure you knew about it. Have fun with it, I love mine.

ok so about the servos,they need some trim to get aligned but once done the servo arms are perfectly horizontal ;)
