so far i've started going through the drive system, tail and main rotor hubs/shafts. not in a race to finish anything. its nice taking it at my pace unlike work some days.

found some issues such as the slider ball plating and a gritty swashplate bearing that cleaned up nice with solvant and new grease, made a main rotor mast stand yesterday just before a flight in my buddies R22 for some insrtuction.
