My Posts This: Topic Forum | Before I go fly this thing for the first time, thought you might like to see it. AR6100 receiver, Scorpion 2221-8 motor, Phoenix 45 ESC, HS5065 digital servos on the cyclic, JR DS3500G digital on the tail, Spartan 760 gyro. This is my first experience with a 450; my other helis are Gaui 200s, which I can tell you are a handful when you're just learning to fly. In fact, I bought the Beam with the hope of calming everything down so I could learn faster. It's been a beautiful kit, very satisfying to assemble. Everything about it is first class. I like my ESC and gyro locations; I'm not sure about my receiver location; I put it there to keep the pins accessible. It's clean and may work just fine. Nothing left to do but mount the blades and start low-altitude, fine-tuning flight tests (tracking, drift, etc.). Then we'll be ready to FLY!
Thanks for your help on the swash issue. The solution was to lengthen the servo-to-swash links about 3.5mm.
