right on top of the tailboom its cf behind the antirotation. I ended up trim alot off to get it to fit and added some epoxy since it wouldnt tighten in between the frame rails when the boom bolts were tightened to the frame.

Which CF mount are you talking about? Can you post a picture of the item? Im going to have to request a replacement mount this one is not properly made. I got it to fit in the frame after shaving it down a little bit but it doesnt tighten up in between the frame rails properly, when you tighten the boom to the frame rails. Must have been made wrong. This is your fbl unit mount and mine moves around all over the place, so its no good.

Thats the one I was thinking about, not too big of a deal, I will open it up a bit with a jewelers file and be all good.

thats what i thought. I did that and got it to fit. But it doesnt tighten up when u tighten the boom to the frame rails like its supposed it. Almost like its not wide enough.

haha nah it has to be really steady since thats were your gyro or fbl unit get mounted. If I could post a video easily I would show you how it moves around easily. I can honestly say my 600 went together much easier than this beast lol I still love it though

I even had to trim the tabs on my anti rotation bracket for it to fit

ok, so i finished mine, i did trim the cf bracket holes and it fits fine... the anti rotation bracket was a bit tight. The rest went together very well. Its a sweet little machine. Now for the electronics...

im into the electronics now. Gonna worry about the CF mount later. Does the tail assembly need to be at a perfect 90" angle with the heli? When I look at my heli straight on the tail assembly isnt at a perfect 90" angle if that makes sense

OK guys, I flew mine today! I will admit, I did not wire it,, since I don't have a clue on how to do this part. Im still limited to a hover, but I can say I put it to the test,, the hover test. " Another pilot " did manage to break it in with some 3d flying. Ill post some pics shortly

Received my kit today.
I too am not very thrilled with the Quality of Finish on the Canopy, the plastic tail blades and the DULL finish(lack of polishing) on the head.
And the packaging was POOR at best. My box arrived damaged and parts bags just floating around in the box.
As far as everything else I can't really judge yet. I will be starting the build this weekend and finish when all of my electronics arrive.
I will compare the build to my Align 550 that I put together on a Friday night and flew the following Saturday morning.

Looks awesome! Even if it's hovering it would be cool to have some video of it here on the forum. -Bryan

Mrs, Chaos, is that a BW FBL controller I see on your 550?
