CopterX CX 450AE V2 Kit

As I can't afford a real TREX 450 SE V2, at least I can't afford to have it for five minutes before crashing it, I thought I would have a try at building the clone of this heli, the CopterX CX 450AE V2. At around 10 times cheaper I'm not even that bothered if it turns out to be a flop, and I'm sure I will learn something as I try to put it all together.

Plenty of other people have done it before me, so there should be plenty of help online. However, if I do manage to build it and, even better, manage to get it to fly, I will be absolutely amazed!

Anyway, so far I've just got it out of the box:

I've got to the point where I attach the rotor assembly to the gears, but I don't have the electics and motor etc yet and need to put those in at this point so I can't go any further until they arrive.
