Default Pre-production Twinn-Rexx build pictures

Joe Orlando (www.tech-mp.com) was kind enough to sell me a pre-production kit version of the Twinn-Rexx!

Guess nobody is really interested in my build experiences and pictures? :wink:

I am very interested in seeing and hearing how this bird comes together. Keep the pics and experiences coming.

robwil, which mag did you see the twin rex featured in?

The bird is coming together very well! I decided to test fit the complete assembly first as my pre-production kit doesn't have a full manual yet (it did come with a set of build notes though). Also, I wanted to check for proper fit before applying any loctite. Using the pictures on the tech-mp web-site, it's easy to determine what goes where.

Only thing to take care about is that two spacers and 4 nylon washers need to be installed between the mainframe aluminum tube and the left frame plates (front, rear, front drive shaft bearing block and rear drive shaft bearing block).

Everything fits great!
