              Will be a while before I maiden it due to back problems (possible operation or injections!), but I am sure I know a few people who can see it goes ok before I am let loose ( any volunteers?)

                  Looks very much like mine did when it was new apart from your is the flybarred version.

                  As quoted remove those zip ties from the ESC, Not good.

                    Im still debating what esc to use on mine, bought the 550 second hand without one.
                    Yours looks great though, mine is sitting built on top of my cupboard looking pretty at the min, I WILL get it sorted
                    What do people use to hold there esc on then?

                      Will remove the zip ties and replace with a small Velcro strap or 2.

                      Seen a few 550's now but now I've got one they just look massive, more like a 600

                      Heli not set up yet as got 2nd hand and came in a few bits, just wanted to put together for the pics

                      Got a 6200 coming in a few days and batts hopefully at the weekend, it was so easy putting the tail together with the torque tube that I might even get for my 450 (not for the 500 as er in doors might make me sell the 500).

                              The manufacturer wont warrenty the esc if zip ties are used. In fact wide zip ties are fine its just people pull them too tight. Its the tightness not the zip tie per se. People use velcro instead but still pull it too tight and think its fine, its not
