Just bought a Beam :-)

Yes - I forgot to mention, make sure you get the V2 ESC as it is more suited to heli use and comes with the IR remote programmer, which makes things easier.

Is a beam another word for a big plank?

Thanks Jim

What sort of tools will I need ?

I have a pretty good range but anything specific I will need to get ?

[jiberjaber]

Just the usual allen keys (in good condition) and some loctite. A soldering iron for the ESC leads iirc and a Japan std small pozi drive too I think

[machasm]

If/when you come round to replacing the feathering shaft you are going to need at least one, if not two, 5.5mm hex drives but specifically these as others O/D is too large to fit into the blade grips.

[jiberjaber]

Oh yes, forgot about them!. The esky ones from fastlad fit btw.

Pretty much what is said above the one thing i would say is the head comes built up strip it down and rebuild it with loctite that way you know its done properly to your own liking
