My First CP is Complete!

[RMG2]

My first CP is complete and ready for test hover and final tail servo adjustments :)

Only issue I have is with balance. Even with the battery moved as high up the battery tray as it can go and still get the canopy on, the heli is a little nose heavy.

Looking good, nice clean install. :)

You might want to reconsider your gyro mounting location and put it in the space below the boom and move your Rx to the shelf on the left. The flybar has a large arc and if you crash there's a pretty good chance that it or the blades is going to smack your gyro. As well, the lead from the gyro to the rudder servo, maybe coil it around a pencil and get that nice little pigtail in it so that it has room to stretch if you lose your boom, that way you may not have it ripped out of the servo.
