Yea, there is the carbon plates that go over the fronts to spread out the force of the screws, then there is the plastic pieces that the servo screws screw into that go in behind the frame. I only need one for the one where the wood was on the frame. I'm looking at the cost for some of the parts that I "want" to replace and I dont' think it's going to happen for quite some time lol. Just the tail block is $65 and the DFC head is $135 or so lol. Sure would look purdy though.

Yeah, I should have had these bearings but don't lol. Way of life I guess. Gaba said he has a place that sells really good bearings pretty cheap. I will see what kind of prices he can get me on them. I would like to get a couple extra just in case. As for the back plates, I will just order them, they are cheap. The carbon front pieces are not so cheap though lmao.

I just wanted to let everyone know this heli build is going great. I have something that looks like a helicopter once again.
Less the bearings and the new found issue with the one way in the main gear, this thing is coming together very nicely. There is still some parts that I need to get, but all in all, it's looking great.
If you have any comments or suggestions for this bird, post them up. And don't forget, it's not too late to donate to get your name on this heli! I may not put the names on the canopy, I may put them somewhere else that is a little more permanent.

I want to update this and let everyone know I will be making an order for parts tonight when I get to work. Thanks to Graham, we have the cash to take care of what I know is wrong or missing on the bird now. Many thanks Graham, I hope to repay the favor one of these days!
Dont' forget, we still need replacement parts for this bird so feel free to help out when you can.

Just reading through this thread and I'm still amazed that we made this happen. Wait.. We? No, Stokke got the ball rolling on this and for that I have to thank him. The build has hit a standstill for now, but it will be picking back up again here soon. If you are a new member and have not read through this thread, it's worth the read IMO.
Thanks again to everyone that made this possible.
I'm downloading new editing software that I'm hoping will help with the editing of the videos that I deleted on accident. Should be much faster than my last one as well. we will find out if the file will ever download. It's only about 6GB of data on a 3meg connection lmao. I will get there though and when I do, there will be some more videos. I just love doing the videos too much to stop them...
