Well so far I have received almost everything I need to build. So far I have my cyclic servos (3x T-pro MG90s), Detrum 40A ECS, Assan GA-250 gyro (a real assan), the wrong motor (the new one is on the way), battery charger, training gear. I had some hicups with xheli and hopefully that has been resolved, I will know some time by friday next week. Appeared usps lost my heli and tool kit so it was resent by management.
I still have parts on the way like my tail servo (Align DS520), exceed helium 3000Kv, ECS program card and a Gens Ace 2200 mAh 25C battery. My TX/RX setup is more than likely going to be the FlySky th9x, still not sure yet. I have been trying to locate information on both the flysky and Turnigy so I can see why should pick one over the other. I know one is half the price but why? I know that the Turnigy has some V2 update and Flysky does not from what I can tell.
The Size of the couple of parts I do have are surprisingly small. I can't believe parts this small actually control this thing. In my mind I picture this bird to be an good size bigger than my 120sr. I guess I'll find out next week when it arrives.
I still have some other small stuff to get myself and some is being shipped by my family. it sucks starting completely from scratch. I have learned a lot since I started this endeavor and hope to continue to learn. My fly time on the sim has been good and tragic at the same time. I have been learning tail in hover along with side in hover. I also been doing forward flight sometimes faster than needed till I; well, cause a situation that would cost me real money had it not been a sim. The controller for the sim is not really a proper TX to learn on but does fit the bill for now. I really need to learn how to fly with a programmable TX.
Any how this is just a brief update. I will continue to update, post pics as I go and maybe some video. Will see how it plays out. I am really happy of my choices thus far. Thanks for the help to this point.
