      Didn't spend much time working on her last night, mainly just checked over the kit and had a flick through the manual.

      This is as far as I got with the assembly.

      He was going spastic at all of the reflections on the ceiling from the plastic packaging. I should never have used a laser pointer for him to chase around on the grass at night when he was a pup :oops:.

      Yep I'll be knocking the edges off the frames tonight and hopefully getting most of the build complete.

      First off I'll be installing the battery quick connection system, so I'll probably have to pull the plastic battery support back out again. Hopefully that won't take too long although I can be very pedantic when it comes to my wiring setup. It should be a clean install though.

      its funny how people are going back to the other style skids... I prefer them over those little protrusions they have as stock.

      LOL
      If he starts chasing the Heli around and gets hurt - that could mean a trip to the confessional. Especially if the heli gets hurt ;)

      I also like the look of the tadpole flippers, but I'm going for stability when flying off rough terrain.

      Was only able to play with the 380 for a little while last night. I managed to get the quick connect system installed into the airframe and some of the drive train put together.

      Looks like I will need to modify the left frame a tad to enable the motor wires to exit without rubbing.
