Stop-motion video of my 600nsp build

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

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.
