Yeah, it ain't threadlock though ;) . I call it the 4th axis gyroscopic stabilizer that not only stabilizes the flying but also the build process!!

Successfully test flown. All systems working flawlessly on the 3G.

Hey Lavneet

How's it going with the 550?
How do you like the 550 compared to a 500?

I'm contemplating 550, if it's worth the extra $150.
And how much did it come to for you in total, if you don't mind

Thanks
Ajay
Awaiting the next tornado to fly my kites..

this glue is made by Justerini & Brooks, very good glue for heli flying, used copiously, you wont even need the heli to fly :giggle:
