Here's what I got so far... I don't know if I'm going to like the red frame, but for the difference in price I guess I'll get used to it. I used the Beastx as just a tail gyro before but since I got the BW fbl head I'm going FBL this time around. All the new parts have ALIGN written all over them, but I guess I can't do anything about that either. To me it's still a Chaos. Who's going to see it when it's 50ft. up !!! Drev.

Black Sharpie is you friend for hiding the Align on the tail boom, thats my plan any how. I ordered a bunch of stuff from RotorQuest this morning, less than 24hrs and the parts are on their way to me, expected delivery date is the 25th.

Rotorquest has great service. If you place an order before 2pm it's in the mail the same day. I've spent a small fortune on RC stuff with them guys. If you do have a problem they take care of it pronto. They answer e-mails usually within an hour or so. Drev.

If you do have a problem they take care of it pronto. They answer e-mails usually within an hour or so. Drev. This free and fast delivery is the sort of thing us non Americans miss out on with RCA. I know for a fact that if it wasn't for the long shipping times I would order all my replacement parts from RCA, because that is who sells the OEM parts for my helicopter. The sad fact of the matter is that there isn't a large enough Canadian market to make it financially viable for them to offer us the free shipping or set up a Canadian distribution site. As for quick answers, I am still waiting on an answer to a question I asked early last week. Answering it is too late now, as I went ahead and ordered what I was asking about anyhow while I had a large enough order to get the free shipping. All I wanted to know is if the QR canopy mounts they offered are listed with the overall length including the part that sits outside the canopy or if the listed length was just the standoff between the canopy and frame. I just wnt ahead and ordered the longest they had listed, 32mm, in hopes that i can get rid of the spacers I needed to put in with the stock mounts. That is not going to stop me from dealing with them though, 3 days from ordered to delivery and reasonable prices are hard to pass up.

Well with all that red hanging out you sure should be able to see it. Was thinking of Fusuno frames on a 500. So seeing yours assembled will help me decide, lol !

Yea I saw those red tail booms before & actually thought about ordering them. Didn't want too much red all at once because of the canopy I got. Think I got plenty of RED to see this thing. The Fusuno frames are a great deal for the price. Everything went together really nice. We'll see how they'll hold up in a hard landing or a crash, but for 1/3 of the price of CF I'll give them a shot !!! Drev.

That's a Fusuno 600e "ASSASSIN" canopy I ordered for a spare a while back. Because of the wider Chaos frame I had to notch out the bottom at the front about 1/4" so it would go on the pins. Took about 10 min. to get it to fit. Just be careful noy to take too much off. Drev.
