Gaui X3L build :)

Post by DOG »

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 :o

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 :)

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 :)
