Hahahah yeah Avesh Bhai agreed with you :p
Thank you Sujit :)

Now starting with the DFC Head -
Though it comes assembled from the company, It's recommended to check all screws again. In my case the screws holding the feathering shaft required cleaning with acetone to remove the oil from then and then thread-locked.
So opened the head re-greased everything and packed it again.

The head comes with green dampers .
You'll see there are many screws rusting which requires cleaning properly through WD40 .


The shaft sides comes with one hole end and the other side with 2 hole end .
The one hole end goes to the DFC head .

The swash comes pre-assembled from factory but requires lubrication . I had scorpion bearing oil which i'm using here for lubrication

(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/dhruvafreak/IMG_20150105_212737_zps857de9de.jpg) (http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dhruvafreak/media/IMG_20150105_212737_zps857de9de.jpg.html)



The Tail box comes pre-assembled too ! But need to check all screws .
You'll find the ball links very hard to move which required a bit of sanding of the balls or Need to loosen them by putting and taking off from balls repeatedly .

Putting miscellaneous parts together before the actual frame build .
Manual shows you in a very systematic manner about the screws and parts required .

The Heli forum was getting very inactive lately.
This is a great thread to revive it ! I am enjoying reading.
{:)}

Hope to see some vids too ... maybe a time lapse build and a maiden ?

Cheers!

@Mightisright
Thanks for your words . Time lapse won't happen this time but definitely the next time .
I'm almost done with the frame/fuselage . Electronics will be done soon.

@Aman, this is a really reliable and a quality 600.
Video will be there in a week

The frame comes in 4 pieces or technically 6 we say. Looks better then the old 6hv. But it seems it will survive a hard crash.

Completed the servo mounting, all done according to the manual

(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y438/dhruvafreak/IMG_20150106_200946_zps2cb29aa5.jpg) (http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/dhruvafreak/media/IMG_20150106_200946_zps2cb29aa5.jpg.html)

And then the 3 Bearing blocks properly positioned along with the Auto belt tension-er, Gyro plate, spacers, Battery tray and canopy mount installed . Need to loosen up the tension-er while installing the boom and setting up the belt tension.

And the bottom fuse part is facing out when attached to the top frame and there are 2 different sized spacers so refer manual

Now assembling the Tail boom and the main gear assembly  .
Sorry couldn't get much pics while assembling .
And it's a bit of a pain to put the other belt tension-er belt later after installing the boom.

Now it's time for motor, pinion, v-bar, main head linkages, esc mounting plates and yeah receiver .
Need to make sure that the motor wire positoin is according to your ESC position. Right on mine 
I have mounted the receiver inside the frame with the satellite outside
and at this position my fuse is done almost and it's the time to setup the vbar .
