I think it has been long enough, it's time to get Murphy ready for the spring! With a fantastic donation from @Geena, Murphy is going to get a little facelift!
We are going to have a complete set of videos on this helicopter. For those that don't know, Murphy is an Align 600 Nitro that started out life as an ESP (I think) but is now a full DFC helicopter. This helicopter was built about 4 years ago by the members for Rc-Help just for this reason, to help teach people! And finally that is what we are going to do.
As you can probably see in the picture, Murphy is VERY dusty. He has been hanging on the wall for a very long time which is likely what a used helicopter you are going to purchase is going to look like. Not only are we going to do a complete cleaning on this helicopter, but we are going to completely go through this helicopter and perform some much needed maintenance. From the head to the tail and everywhere in between, there is not going to be a bolt that is not touched on this helicopter. Yes, even the engine is coming apart!
So without further adieu, lets get the videos started! If you have suggestions on what you would like to see (cleaning, maintenance, setup), just let me know. Now is the perfect time to get your requests in. This is a Nitro helicopter so if you have something specific you want to see, post up.
