I got the three cyclic servos rewired and installed. Next I will need to rest the arms with new holes for the ball links.
Another challenge I have will be to get the castle safety plug working. I have it installed and plugged in but it is not working like it should.
My radio is almost ready for flight. Throttle hold needs programmed, thought it was already but I guess not. D/R and expo need set.
Esc and bec are ready to go. That was not hard. My castle link and safety key came yesterday so that made setup a lot easier.
Lastly the final set up will be done in a little while. I would like to find my other servo arms but I think I will be stuck with the old ones for now. I will let you all know how that goes once I get to that point.

This weekend was just one issue after another.
After the cyclics were done the tail servo went out due to wires breaking. Got that fixed. Then the elevator servo started acting up. Made a video of it got it back together and things were fine. Tested the servos and discovered they needed lubed up. Still have the tail to lube.
During all of this the esc won't arm. I think this might be a controller issue.
Gold news I found my servo arms that will allow me to get the 13.5mm spacing needed fir the ball links.
As it stands the Gaui is about ready for setup. I am nor sure how long that will take.
Plus I still have video to edit, kids to play with and a wife who has nit really seen me since the build started. So it may be back shelved till next weekend, will see.
I also got the case organized then I destroyed it again. I also still have to build the spare booms.
So much to do and so little time.
