I'm going to take my time since it's my first build! But it is a really simple and nicely designed heli! There was a manual mistake on the the tail servo screws. But not a big deal.

I'm done for the night

I thought about the time lapse. I decided that since it's my first build I'm gonna just take photos at different stages. Next build will be time lapse!

When you do time lapse you don't have to worry about taking pictures... it does it all for you! only thing you need to do is press the button when you want it to start and stop. Its easy to do time lapse just throw all the pics into Movie maker, remove titles, shorten all to 0.04s and there you have it

If it is the Diamond pack you will have to shim the frame out a bit on the bottom. In my opinion they would be overkill for the 480. I have some Glacier 4000Mah packs that work with the frame shimmed.
Where did you get the work mat?

I got it from its a great mat. A little pricey.. The owner is a stand up guy.. http://www.fblrotors.com/

Both frames are together now!

Everything went smooth except the plastic electronics divider... It won't go into the holes in the frame..

Last photo shows problem..

You have to push real good to get it to snap in. It was like that with mine too.

Thanks tim.. I just didn't want to break the frame.. I will give it a go! How tight do you guys run your tail blades?

Noticed the plastic balls were a little notchy on the tail. Going to sand it down a bit.
