    Folks - mine arrived today...
    Needless to say - Wow, what a heli...

    I can tell you this is the hottest 450 out there - but have a look for yourself...

    Note: No manual thou - grrrrrr, would have liked a hardcopy manual for the price :(

    Does anyone have a soft copy or link to a softcopy of the manual ? Is there even one ????

      Looks pretty builder friendly, you should be able to slap her together in no time. Is Glen still working on the manual?

      Or try the link above ;)

      The manual looks great. It will be well worth your while to center all of the servos before installing them though as it would be a right pita otherwise. It looks like it will be easy to work on after a dirt nap too, unlike the Warp.

      On first inspection the manual looks really good! Matches the heli I guess. :D

      Do you have to pay extra for the manual?

      Thanks folks for the manual link...

      I think i'd be right without the manual, but having it is always better so you can check desired link length's
      and other stuff I guess..

      Folks - Have the frame built, servos in, motor in... just waiting for esc and to route it's wire to the FBL before i stick that down as well..

      One tip if you are starting your build.

      The front boom support - make the tightening screw on the right side not the left as in the manual - that way you can access it from underneath if using a mid sized servo.. I can't get to mine as i put it on the left like the manual says - but susing it out, it would be reachable from underneath on the right hand side...

      I will have to remove my tail servo if i need to tighten or remove the boom :(

      @Glen - any reason you know against doing this?

      I see there is a hole in the mount and the front of the boom, but mine don't line up anyway.. thought that was maybe a boom pinning hole but my belt is tight and they don't line up - so putting the front mount orientated with tightening screw on the right should be ok I think...

      If so - an update in the manual would be good.
