Thats the mantra of keep going even after a hard day at the office. I usually have mix of such glues - Blue, Red Green, orange et all :D :D :D. But only in limited quantity!!

Yeah, it ain't threadlock though ;) . I call it the 4th axis gyroscopic stabilizer that not only stabilizes the flying but also the build process!!

Hey Lavneet

How's it going with the 550?
How do you like the 550 compared to a 500?

I'm contemplating 550, if it's worth the extra $150.
And how much did it come to for you in total, if you don't mind

Thanks
Ajay

this glue is made by Justerini & Brooks, very good glue for heli flying, used copiously, you wont even need the heli to fly :giggle:

PS
Lavneet gr8 build
