Stage 13. The rear left motor. Required for this assembly, The drive unit from stage 11 and the washer and snap ring from the same stage. Insert the drive unit into the shaft casing, it will pull in quite powerfully as it has strong magnets. take the washer , and fit over the protruding shaft, followed by the snap ring. Use a small pair of flat nosed pliers as this cannot be done with the fingers. This completes the final stage from Pack 3.. It doesn't look like I have gotten very far as yet, maybe there is going to be a sudden rush of parts, I hope so as im quarter the way through, only 9 more packs to go......

Yeah pack 3 was a little light on work. Here's hoping for plenty to do on the next pack.

I'll admit I did have fun with the motor magnets though hehe.

Looks to be coming together nicely Longblade - bet you can't wait to have that first test flight?!Drool Cool

Difficult to view your pictures though as they are a bit large and need scrolling left and right to see it all - if you resize them to about 640 x 480 (Bulletin Board size), that'll be perfect? ThumpUp

Keep the updates coming, looking good. Cool

Pack 6, stage 23, this is the halfway point, don't know how they are going to get the rest in within the next 6 months, We shall see.
For this stage the red covered leg with the blue LEDs (Front left) assembled in stage 22 and the four M2x12mm screws from stage 3 and the M5 nut from the very first pack, stage 1 .And of course the chassis last worked on in stage 21... Time to fit the first of those legs?????Insert M5 nut in the socket, front left underside of the chassis, rounded side uppermost.
Thread the wires from the leg through the hole in the chassis, put the motor wires through the same hole, try not to kink, twis or pull said wires.
Using the 4 M2 screws, fit the leg to the chassis, tighten the screws with the screwdriver provided. move the arm into the horizontal posision and into the locking slot, ensuring the pin on the chassis engages with the recess on the arm..
