And i'm pretty happy about it all, i really like the MA kit, although its not without its faults.

So far, i've the got the airframe mechanically assembled, the servos mounted, and the canopy mounted. Tomorrow i'll start on electrical install and setup and hopefully get it maidened over the Xmas break.

Things i really like-
1) Its very cleverly designed in my opinion
2) The grey anodising looks cool
3) The canopy is really roomy, plenty of room for electronics
4) Very stiff and lightweight
5) Decent manual and parts breakdown
6) Minimal mods need to assemble

Things i've noticed with the kit that could be better so far are-
1) No specific FBL manual, just the FB one with an insert for the FBL head. This in itself isn't really a problem, the insert sheet is well written, but it does make it complicated when it comes down to bag numbers, what parts you have in your tray to go where, which balljoint is a 109, 107 with no shadow page etc etc
2) The fan/fan hub took quite a bit to balance up, had to take out more than i would have liked to really, could be a dodgy part i suppose.
3) Some bags had no sticker on them, this made it a bit complicated at first but isn't a big deal really.
4) I'm using a YS engine, and the optional lower under carriage brace, could do with a hole for the YS crankcase pipe, but easy to put in yourself.
5) Manual appears to not mention tightening the belt and then tightening the gyro plate screws.

I did take some build pictures but they haven't turned out very well, and now its pretty much assembled, i'm not stripping it back down for photos LOL.

I'd happily have another MA kit in the future from what i've seen so far


The build continues

Thanks

Matt
