I really love building helicopters. I build my own kits, and I build kits for other pilots as well. Installing all of the electronics is fun too. I just love it! But there is one part of building that is not as much fun for me, and that is the wiring.

I don`t dislike it because it is difficult, it isn`t. It`s actually quite easy. My reason for not enjoying wiring, is I over think it, and always end up redoing it several times before I`m satisfied with it.

Well..... that`s what I did today. Yep, took me all day to get the electronics installed and wired in. All the hard work has paid off though, and the helicopter is now ready to fly.

I started off by installing my cyclic servos. Xpert KD1s. There are lots of thing I love about Xpert servos. They have over current protection, over heat protection, and they are just really fast and strong. Plus the start up chimes and slow center up is pretty cool too.

My FBL sensor of choice is always and forever, Bavarian Demon. I have been flying Demon sine 2014, and they have always performed flawlessly for me. This helicopter got a 3X unit. I`ll likely change it later to an AXON, to take advantage of the upgraded sensors as well as the Jeti integration for tuning. My Blades are KBDD 690mm Extreme Edition mains, and KBDD 105mm CF tails.

My governor is an Aero-Spire MultiGov Pro. I absolutely love Aero-Spire. They are very reliable,easy to set up and tune, and they have always held consistent head speeds.

Next was fuel line plumbing. THIS I really enjoy doing, and I like to make the fuel lines as neat as possible. Nothing bothers me more than to have a nice clean build, just to ruin it with bad plumbing.

Now it`s time to put the first tank of fuel in....and it`s a BIG tank. I don`t know how much fuel it holds, but it put a big dent in a brand new bottle of 30%.

Final steps were to set the idle, and calibrate the governor. Now..... it`s show time. The maiden flight will be posted soon, (hopefully this weekend) on my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/GeenaTucker

Thanks again for visiting, and keep an eye on my channel for some cool flight videos. Also, I`ll be posting build threads on the Whiplash 730E and Fury 57 real soon. as well as flight videos for them. :)
