Got my FBL today, ordered from Elite Models at a smashing price.
Anyway here’s some small points;
°The finish is first class, a polished look on the grips near the actual head and an almost brushed effect everywhere else.
° Thankfully it has no head button. I usually take them off to save broken pitch links but this leaves an unsightly hole in the head unit.
°I will need to use washers (spacers) in the blade grips as it will be impossible to get any tension without them, not a big issue but can be fiddly when trying to put the blades back on.
°For any one considering getting a fbl head here are some little things to bear in mind, I don't have any knowledge of other fbl heads so I coudn't say what you do and don't get with the setup. I was condering selling my old fb head to fund this but thankfully I didn't as the new head requires a few things from the old one namely; The blade grip bolts and the longest two link's from the normal head
On the whole I’m very pleased and excited about getting this on the heli. Despite the points above, which isn't by no means negativity from me at all; I think it’s a super head. Quite basic with minimal detail but super smooth and just how I like it.
Here are a few snap shots. Just for those who would like to see it set up on the heli, I'll take some snaps later

I'm pretty sure you'll find a thrust bearing behind the outer radial. For washers I used a set of 90 size radix washers.
