I just put online the video I made from the 700 photos I took while building the kit. Be sure to check it out:

Trex 600 NSP almost ready for maiden
All the mechanical setup is now done on my Trex 600 NSP. All the pieces are put together per the manual. I still need to make some adjustments and finish the radio programming, but visually, the heli is complete now.
Hopefully, it will be ready for it's maiden flight anytime soon.

Build going smoothly
My 600NSP build is going smoothly. I'm going slowly and thoroughly to make sure that everything is put together correctly. I also read a lot of post, watch videos of others (finless in particular) and ask around on the forums everytime I'm not 100% sure of something.
So far I've completed the head and almost all the mechanics. All the servos and corresponding links are in place. I also began to program my DX7. The governor is in place and everything is programmed to achieve 3 different headspeeds (one for each flight mode).
The engine is installed and the throttle servo is in place. The throttle curves are programmed in the radio, along with a cut switch mix (thanks to finless one more time).
So a lot of work has already been done and so far everything went very smoothly. What's left for now is the tail assembly, the gyro and the corresponding radio programming and putting the head assembly on and trimming everything for correct pitch.
Right now, I think I have like a couple of weeks more of work before I can finally take her out for it's maiden flight.

First out of town flight of the year
Tody the weather was perfect so when I got back from work, me and my girlfriend decided to take a ride to see my grandma. It was a wonderful little trip and of course, I had my trustworthy Trex 450 in the trunk and I took it out for a couple of flights in the field in front of my grandma's house.
It was a little cold, but around 7pm, there was no wind at all and it was 2 wonderful flights.
