Day 2: Boom supports epoxied and mounted, motor installed and a first run at belt tightening
I will probably braid wrap the remaining cyclic servos and hopefully receive the FBL head to wrap up the mechanical part of the build tomorrow Notes: I have only had a couple somewhat long goes at the build, but I can't have more then 4 hours into it if that. |

FBL conversion was delivered, I am now trying to find the best place for instructions on the FBL install? Finless never did a build video for the Mini so I have not seen any videos or direction for the install
I am referencing the mini manual, I see they show a thin spacer to be inserted into the hub before the dampener, I don't have these thin washers in my fbl upgrade kit, are they necessary? |

So im stuck at a really stupid part, seems the mini manual has the mixing arms backwards so after assembling mixing arms I am now trying to remove the pin and having difficulty
anyone have a suggestion for removing the pin from the mixing arms.. |

I did that to one arm. I also put a pic in a thread about the new FBL kit how the arms should go Hoping others would see it and not make the same mistake I did.
To get the pin out, try using a ball link plier and a small thin nail that is used to put up small picture frame. Try to squeeze the nail and push out the pin. Edit: Here's the link to the post with the pic: https://www.helifreak.com/showpost.p...88&postcount=3

ok hoping to buy my tail servo and FBL unit this weekend
So the finless video showed him running the tail servo on the opposite side, is that my best bet? |

Mounting the tail servo on the left offers some protection against flybar, and possibly main blade impact during a crash. Place your elevator servo on the opposite side of the tail servo to help balance the heli.

Also where can I find info on grounding the boom, I assume that is necessary? |

If you have the latest version, no need to ground the boom. (It has some lines in the plastic).
I have not grounded mine, and it works fine. |

Pics will be coming shortly
So battery's will be here tomorrow and I plan to work on beastX setup this weekend. Do I need a digital pitch gauge to setup pitch? Would I be better off with EC3 or EC5 for my 2500 packs? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

Yes, you will need some type of pitch gauge. EC5s are too big for this size bird and not necessary. I prefer XT60 over the EC3. But EC3 are fine too.

That rating is 60 amps continuous. The Protos does not pull that much continuously. The average may be 30 to 45 amps over a hard 3d flight. Unless of course you're running a custom wound high powered motor with 470 blades.
