Nice informative video Chris, maybe you could move the camera a little further away next time to get a little more in the picture.

Hey Chris, when your assembling the blade grips do you just grease the thrust bearings or do you squeeze a bit into the radials as well?

Nope radials are good to go. I only grease the thrust bearings and the dampers.

Day 3 video is up. Still very cold in my garage so I didn't get as far as I had hoped.

Forcast is looking better going forward toward the weekend. Still hoping for a Saturday maiden!
