Pretty much. The guy that I bought it from included an Align 91H, but the bearings are a tad on the rough side, so I ordered new ones from Boca Bearings. I ordered the HE90H15 90 High Performance Muffler from Helipal, and still need a throttle servo.

Here is the head, swash and tail lube and reassembly. I washed all the screws in alcohol to remove any machining oil.

I figured that I'd try to get the frame assembled before calling it a day, so here is what I have so far.

It has a corner of one of the mounting wholes missing
but shouldnt bother it on the throttle if you use the servo braces
It is a high dollar servo I would let it go for like 40 bucks

Time to get the servos ready to install. I like to cover the wires with Clean Cut mesh for a cleaner look, and a little bit of protection. Also got the cyclic bell cranks installed.
