Not sure if there is a Tapatalk app for IPhone as I am on Android but if so I would recommend that really easy to post pics etc. I actually like it better than going to website as very easy to see subscribed threads....
Just bench ran her again boy this thing is powerful cant wait to run my 7HV up. Everything looks great MB seems happy just not happy with the head. One side is free as butter the other way too tight. I'm gonna yank it apart again maybe move the spacers outboard as Eric and John suggested. It shouldn't be this tight (new feathering shaft but old dampers)

Almost! Was too tired after redoing head last night to bench test still can't believe I missed bad grip bearing when I put new feathering shaft in. Just ran it for 10 min think I have done everything possible now in the rebuild.
Of course it is raining now…

Well I have done everything possible that I know to have perfection in this rebuild. All wiring is hotglued at rx, mb, and regulator. Satellite is gooped everything has cable braid and friction protection. Lubed all accesable bearings silicone gear and belt MB seems happy cannot create any glitch in electronics no matter how hard I try. Just ran 3 min each in all 3 throttle speeds looks perfect on bench. I have learned alot this rebuild thx to all whom have helped.
Guess I put blades on now see what happens. If goes tail over teakettle I know I did everything possible…

Fly that thing already before you have to start doing maintenance on it from all the testing.

Tom,

Keep us posted.

Once you fly that 6HV, you won't want to fly anything else!
(until you fly the 7HV!).

You must not feel too bad if you're surfing HF while watching tv with her.
