Good day all. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I decided to start my Gaui X3L build Christmas night. I started out by spreading all the parts out and transferring all hardware to Ziploc bags so I would loose them.

Well I was a little confuse this evening. On this build the DFC, swashplate, main gear and the tail case came assembled

My X3 build, nothing was assembled. So to be safe, I'm going to take everything apart to make sure it's all greased, thread lock and put together correctly

OK, after taking apart the assembled parts and putting it back together again, I got a little bit more done last night

Well finally after setting up my X3L I had the chance to install the tail boom cover. I had to use a old and almost obsolete metal coat hanger to feed the boom, tail rod through the tail boom cover.

After that I installed the tail casing and basically got the heli ready to fly. Now I'm waiting on batteries
