Oh boy, my new Trex 500 arrived this afternoon, 
and when I say new this thing is barely a month old as Ant' added the invoice in the box where he purchased her.
After fixing the L/Gear, rota head etc man what a thing of beauty she really is, there's not a mark on her anywhere she's just too perfect for words
Christ I was actually shaking with excitement when I carefully took her out of what can only be called a "bomb proof" piece of packing, I can't get over how much larger the 500 is to the 450, the paddle bar is as thick as the main shaft on the BCX2, the rotas are huge in length and width compared to my trusty 450's blades.
I'm over the Moon here, I can't believe I have this bird, I've been wanting one since they came out, but to have one prebuilt in showroom A1 condition and barely a month old is just too much luck all at once.
Thank you Ant' you've really done me super proud mate, I feel kinda guilty paying what I have after seeing the butchers bill it took adding the extras and putting her together, I have a GY401 from Phil winging it to me, and a new AR6200 from Rod arriving tomorrow.
I'll be honest, 2008 has been a bitch to me, increase in pain levels, having to come of Morphine slowly as you can't just stop taking that once started, other health issues that has left me almost house bound, its been very difficult and I've had to face some nasty demons head on, but if this is the only good luck I have this year then it more then makes up for any hardship so far.
I tell yea, screw pain killers seeing my new pride & joy sitting proud next to my smaller POJ, is the best medicine I've ever had, I now can't wait to see her fly, as those rotas are gonna sing a very pretty song.
Yay.
