I already finished my Chaos 600 and have about 25 flights on it already! I may be a newbie but I practiced my butt off using the Phoenix Flight simulator before I took off! I can do some 3D already! The problem I had when building was how to properly set up the head with the servos and radio. If anyone is going to be building or can make a video for new comers I think this will be a big help to explain exactly what to do when setting up your servos and linkage rods! It took me 3 weeks to search and do this myself!
Just asking! Thats all.
Some one to go step by step on the radio settings to center servos, where stick should be when doing this and etc.

We were waiting on you to do the video! It is a good point but if anyone is stuck they can ask a question here and it will normally be answered by the time you finish your tea. Then there is the Finless videos that everyone knows about and then there is the fact that "normally" if you buy a 600 you have a bit of experience under you belt. If I was building again I would do a video like the 500 video I did and use lots of fancy editing with the new software but it's too late now....

Just rip it all apart and rebuild it Joe ;D Right now I am just thinking of tossing my flybar head to the side and getting the Black Widow set up, fewer linkages and less headache in the long run as I see it. Not all that expensive either, under $200 plus shipping. Thats less than my average crash repair bill For the record I am one of those fools that jumped straight into a 600 with no build experience or CCPM helicopter experience either, its been a challenge. Getting the MCP X is helping a lot with the understanding and one of the main reasons I am thinking of going to flybarless.

I went straight into a 450 size ccpm myself, totally bypass the 4 channel fp helis...I just said "screw it"! Just letting you know you're not alone, there are plenty of ppl who have done exactly that. Gosh...I mean if you only saw the first time I try and hover the damn thing you would of laughed your A$$ off (it's on my youtube channel). Thats ok though cause at the end of the day...I had fun and thats all it matters...LOL. +1 on going FBL by the way.

Were those blade scrapes I heard at the end Even so it was still better than my first attempt I do amazing with the MCPX and DX7S. I just made an on the spot hat cam with my old Sony Cybershot. No HD and pretty grainy, but it means I can actually fly and record it now I think i figured out what your problem was in that video, the sandals and socks were suck a fashion faux pas that the helicopter didn't want you controlling it ;D If I go ahead and get the FLB setup I will record the build from a noobs perspective
