Yes many have,
I see they finally got them back in stock.... Works perfect! i have one on my heli and my bro has the same one but made out of better aluminium which costs 30 bucks more.
Get it while they have it, it runs out of stock quickly.
Feathering shafts are available you can also use the Esky CNC Head Feathering shaft its just 4mm too long so you just drummel off 4mm from one end and your dont or add additional spacer washers inside the blade grip whicever route you want to take.

Bump... re-read above.
As for Main shafts your esky main shaft works fine with the head, it will come with a Trex main shaft which you can also use as long as your turn it upside down but believe they already did that for you..

Will be ordering mine this morning as well as some feathering shafts I have a couple of Belt main shafts in my benchstock.
what version of the tail did you go with?
Damn, I told myself i wasn't going to upgrade but i was installing some new blades after a small blade strike and noticed that one of the threaded holes on my swash plate was a little stripped out so i decided to go ahead with the upgrade.
My wife is laughing at me because of my decision not to upgrade...... she told me this hobby was going to be like my motorcycles... I can't keep anything stock.
So now i have some TP SG90's on order and will have this Head unit and well since i can't stop myself thought i would go blue and change it all the way.
my build sheet will be something like this:
Blue Trex canopy (fiberglass)
Blue Head and Tail
Blue Servo's
Blue Accessories.
Blue servo line covering
Blue whatever else i can find
in the future i will do blue Trex Carbon Blades.
so now the addiction has taken hold of me

goto www.cnchelicopter.com (http://www.cnchelicopter.com) he has some really nice All metal Tail setups for very good price...
The esky tailbox is nice as well but yeah your still stuck with plastic bits from the stock setup as it only comes with the tailbox itself and grips if you order those... if your going for strong and no play get a good tailbox from cnchelicopter.com
