    Its ok i have an Align tail on it and that had to be pulled a few mm for tension,
    the kit is a lot better than the reveiws i have seenmust of got a good batch

      I think everyone is different, some seem better than others. Mine had most of the screws with locktite but re did them anyway and the boom was OK. I was surprised that you got plastic blade grips on your tail though as mine came with alloy grips.

      Hope to maiden mine this Thursday.

        Did you get yours from hobbyking or giantcod?

        the hk500gt from hobbyking has plastic tail box and grips and the hk500cmt has the alloy tail unit.

        But giantcod do the hk500gt with alloy tail unit.

          I bought mine from Giant Cod, which may also explain the lack of markings. The kits quality is a lot better than I expected.
