It is really tempting Aniket, specially for DIY addicts like us, I started of with it last year, completed the body, blade, and blade holders, but got stuck on the swash.... No matter what I did, I wasn't able to build it right.... Soo its eating dust somewhere.

If someone wants, I can give away whatever I had build

To some extend. But not as smooth as the real deal. Mine had no bearings. But it still worked. I put 2 screws  on the side of the dettol cap for the servo rod to fit.

I'll do the same thing but with bearing installed and I guess Hot glue will take care of them.
