I have two of these made from coat hangers I use for tail belts. One 450 size and the other 600 size. Makes things easy.

Okay so I broke my main blade grips stupidly, but it was my fault.
I found out I have a broken 16t pinion though, and I didn't do anything to it...
I'm going to mail where I got my kit to see if I can get another one.

Okay so a quick question, how do you guys setup your batteries under the canopy ?
If I put the battery connectors on top and then down the side, I kinda get issues with the wires interfering with the center servo. But if I put the wires downwards, then it kinda gets messy, and I have to push pretty hard to get the canopy on.
BTW my YGE is where it's supposed to be as per the manual, with the battery wires coming out through the nose.

Maidened it today
I flew only two lipos as it was quite late, and by the end of the second lipo it was getting real dark.
It's really amazing to fly, and soo quiet. You hear a bit of motor, and the blades, it's all.

I didn't run into any problems, I even flipped & rolled it on the second flight.
It's soo easy to fly compared to a mcpx, sooo stable, and it has alot of power (even though I only flew at 3000rpm).

I'll be posting some boring videos (mainly hovering) of the maiden later on, my dad took them with a 7D & fisheye lenses so its pretty small.
I have an issue though, my OWB was working fine before, but now it won't budge. I'll have to look into that.
