Cool!... we will talk money, you could add to my bill!!Originally posted by moonmanflyer View PostYou can have the ones off my trex mark if you like cheep, not sure how much they are new but are alot better than the standard ones
Will pay up on payday along with the muscle pipe.
Read on a build website that the paddle holes are too small in kit form. Bad design.... needs M3 grubs instead of the M2 ones supplied. I thought i was the newbie engineer so two days of head scratching, turns out Align have fallen at this hurdle!!

Sorry to have missed this thread until now...

As you already know, the grub screws supplied in the kit for the paddles are the wrong size.
I substituted M3 grub screws, which is the correct size.

And i know because of your excellent site as listed above. I carried out the head assembly with the manual in front of me and my laptop with your detailed walk through to my side. I must say you have done a great job of this and have managed to highlight all the un answered Q's in the manual (like this one!) the only reason i did not come across your explination of the flybar grub screws earlier is i jumped the gun (against your site advice) and fitted the paddles as per the manual (too eager!) I will not ignore your deviations from the manual again.Originally posted by robgt View PostSorry to have missed this thread until now...

May i say to anyone working with the 600 for the first time that Rob's insight is excellent and a truelly invaluable armoury to your initial build. Thanks Rob!!
P.s will blame you now if it all goes wrong later!!!!!

Hopefully get the kit this weekend or early next week, my things are selling well on ebay and with the stuff you are having off me will give me enough reddies for the build. Then the sale of the 600 should allow me to buy some more batteries.

Talk about stripping one to build another.
If you want the servos mate you can have all 3 cyclic ones for £50 including the align servo horns if you want them.
I like this buying new heli buisness, only have the bare kit left at this rate.James
