      Absolutely,
      I think it's one of the best parts of the hobby, especially a new build. All the research, blogs and tips to read, tweaking. It's like being a kid in a sweet shop all over again. I want a new heli now you've said that!

            Its the pinnacle of the hobby knowing how your heli works and fits together.

            Yes I like building mine only for that reason.

              Not as much as I used to.

              I like the building side just not keen on the set up side no more, the servos etc. Thats prob why my SG is still sitting there, its at the electronic stage

              Just want to fly now more

                    Used to... about 2 to 5 years back.. Not anymore.

                    The maintenance work is alright, but no mate - not the building.

                      The tail blades connected to the blade grips, the blade grips connected to the tail hub, the tail hub's connected to the tail shaft, the tail shafts connected to the tail case, the tail case connected to the tail boom, the tail booms connected to the main frames, now hear the sound of the heli.

                          I really enjoyed the Kasama build, as it's not strait forward like the t rex's, with the T600 i just put it together and went out to fly it, so simple nothing can really go wrong.

                            Now that's a good point! I'll retract my "absolutely" and change it to

                              I don't mind a build but I hate repairs. Theres definitely satisfaction in seeing something you've specced, built and setup fly for the first time. Repairs, only there normally because I'vce decked the damned thing but I hate it, any time repairing is time I should have been flying. However, I am finding that if I have nothing on the bench I get a bit fidgity on an evening. Even if it's only 20 minutes cleaning something
