| I just got one last week from graves rc. Modefo's, helipros, and rc heliworkz were all out of stock at the time. I also picked up the tail servo relocation kit from heliproz.
The kit had the 8mm spindle and I guess the new style canopy (it's a sexy bleach bottle slim canopy, looks a ton better than a rappie canopy). It has a delrin dampner system, a la infinavation, but with a little more "float" around center.
The tail rotor relocation kit leaves you looking in your spare parts bin for some screws to attach the throttle servo spacer to the mainframes, and the manual is a little vague as to where the other servo spacers go. Assembly is real easy, all the subassemblies are already completed. All the screws I checked were properly tightened and seemed to be locktighted where appropriate.
The motor mount is setup for the hyper 50. If you're using YS, you'll need a different rubber donut for the front of the motor, and the redline 53 will require some mods to fit.
All the ball links were tight; it doesn't take much of a squeeze with pliers to actually break the ball links, so I would suggest ordering a spare set of ball links with your heli.
Mine's not quite completed yet, but it looks like the balance will be pretty close with the forward mounted tail rotor servo and a 5 ounce battery. I think that pretty much makes the forward tail rotor servo kit a must-have option unless you plan to use sub-C batteries.
I can't wait to get mine finished and put her into the air.
