Build Commences on the 600NSP

[Mart61]

Hi guys

Well, it got the better of me and I commenced the build on the 600NSP today. I'm not going to do a blog on the build for reasons I'll outline at a later date. However, during my build, I'll be shooting a few pics and will post them on the site for comment.

Here's the first batch:

What's in the box (plus a few extra bits):


First parts selection:


Cleaning my balls (ooerrr mussus!):


Loctiteing my balls (painful?):


First assembly:


Installing mixing arms to seesaw holder:


Measuring flybar:


Head assembly:


Enjoying what I'm doing so far and can't wait for the next steps!

Great narrative and phots Martin.....keep it up.....and what was with that used tissue in the background!!!!!

[Mart61]

Thanks Eddie. I used nail varnish remover on the tissues (kitchen roll) to clean the threads on the metal parts. I used the corners rolled up to screw into the female threads and changed them until they came out clean and ready to Loctite.

Nice one martin, my 600NSP is awaiting me to open the box and start building, which with the weather as bad as it is at the moment is not likely to be too long. what servos, gyro etc are you using?

[Mojo]

I think that will turn out to be a great visual build guide Martin..

Good luck mate..

Thanks guys - I've gone for the DS610s on cyclic, the DS620 and GP750 combo to look after the tail for me and a S3152 to run throttle. Not yet got a receiver but will probably go for the AR7000 or equivalent.

For some reason the red/yellow came with the blue metalwork - would have preferred the black. Still, at the price I paid, I was just happy to get it.

Looking good mate, to be fair the red and blue has grown on me more than when it first came out, you will love it mate and enjoy the build

Thanks again for the comments guys. And Danny, my "kids" are 22 and 19 and I've done my share thanks...

Wow you build table is like the McLaren F1 garage! Tidy, everything laid out.

Another tip for degreasing screws is that Nitro cleaner spray the RC car guys use, available in most model shops. Watch out though, rags (paper towel) soaked in this are somewhat flamable (Don't ask)!

Blue metal work looks good actually.
