I received my E7 SE yesterday.  Here are some pics of the kit contents and the build thus far.
I definitely like that canopy :D

The manual has not been posted yet.  There is not a significant difference in the actual construction thus far.
Changes are:
-Aluminum motor plates instead of the carbon fiber one.
-The transmission holes are elongated to allow other spur gear options. Mine is pushed all the way forward.
-The use of push pin canopy mounts in place of the original ones.  Just like the E5.
I haven't looked at the dimensions on the swash and pitch links but it appears they will be like the E5.  The tail is the same with the addition of the metal tail pitch slider. 
The head is identical in design to that of the E5.  Just some dimensional changes.

Maidened the E7 SE today!  Nothing to say other than AWESOME!
At first I thought I had set up my Castle Gov incorrectly. The E7 SE is almost as quiet as the E5 :D


The CGY750 performed flawlessly.  The initial hover was literally hands off.  The only thing I will need to do is bump up the agility setting to 4.  I kept it at 3 since I was not sure how much quicker the roll rates would be with the lowered head.
The canopy looks really good in the air. 


Sorry no photos or video of the flights.  Unfortunately I seem to be the only one at our field that actively takes photos or video. 


Cheers
Alan

haven't weighed it.  I have been running 3850's in my E7's for about a year.  My head speeds are typically 1850 - 2050.  I like the lighter weight and the flight time is reasonable with those size packs.
