Well, the difference a few hours make...

Started the build, and a few hours later, here's where I've gotten! All that is left is to install the mainshaft and gears, in the process set up the tail boom and tail controls, install the electronics (BEC, ESC, receiver), install the tail servo and program it, replace the fly bar (its a longer one than the stock, as its for a Trex 500, but that should just increase the stability), then set up and fine tune the CCPM. Then the fun begins! A flight test. This one will also get a Trex 500 canopy from Turnigy.
 
At this rate I may have this thing done in the next couple of days.
