Who worries about tidy wiring lol. Fit it and forget it. Cant see it when the cano is on but that is actually clean for me!! The wires from the servos all fall in to slots in the mono block and you just route them that way.

Will get a vid as soon as its flying.

Regarding the mistake, look at the first pics of the head ;)

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=#000000]Only had 1 flight then rain stopped play. Then went back as tomorrow sposed to be rubbish and it was not raining. Got 2 more before it ****ed down.

It is awesome.

Cant wait to get more flights on it but considering how light it feels in the air it is very solid even in this wind.

Just need to try it on a normal day to see how it really is :)[/COLOR][/FONT]

Grrrrrrr!

Ben you've done a really nice job on that.

Its the heli not me MJ, the layout leads to a nice install especially now with the connectors they have made.

In the Monoblock it has grooves in certain spots for the cabling etc. Very good forward thinking. Also I love that the servo screws that hold the horn on have a protruding piece that slots in to holders to help ease the load on the servo. Awesome little bits like this :)
