Finally getting my kit!!!
« on: January 25, 2013, 10:12:42 PM »
Talked with Ralph at FBL Rotors a few minutes ago.  Should be building by Monday and flying by next weekend.  Should have been done weeks ago, but Uncle Sam loves to take his time when he has to actually pay people.

I'll throw my plug for FBL Rotors.  Ralph was great and everything is coming in much faster than I anticipated.  I will be sure to get all my Synergy gear from his shop if I can help it.

Thanks to Chris, Rich, and the others on the boards.  Your info should help make the build go really quick and easy.

Congrats on the kit! Ralph at FBlrotors is as good as they come! You will love his "extras"!

Enjoy the build, I have built and help build 5 E5s now, it's a great build.

I just got my second E5 from Ralph and will start building next week too.  Make sure you get a set of FBL Rotors ball link pliers and a Botos Sizer!

If you use the Boto-Sizer, and you should, make sure to also order extra 107-100 plastic ball links http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/2_375_2143_2144/products_id/221242/n/Synergy-Ball-Link-Set-10 for the few plastic ball links you'll most likely oversize.

I got all the extras when I ordered based on everyone's recommendations.  I've been slowly compiling all the electronics and tools since Christmas, so hopefully the build will go quick and smooth.
