Today I took a very close look at the MRH I bought a few months ago and compared it with original photos.

At first glance, the product looks good. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed because I immediately discovered an error: the „red" blade, which points backwards when folding, has no hydraulics and no mechanics in the original. At BAM it is designed in the same way as the „white" and the „black" blade (left side when folding). After removing the surplus components (correcture), the blade joint looks very far from the original 🙁. Correcting is very difficult because the material is very brittle.🙁

I also miss the „boom" on the top side, to which the main E-cable and three hydraulic lines are attached. Furthermore, I miss on the side opposite the pitch link arm with „white", „black", „blue" and „yellow" blades a important hydraulic component (control cylinder unit) to which four lines (1 x E and 3 x hydraulics) are attached.

Conclusion:
Detailing is better compared to the kit, but unfortunately with some errors.
I will definitely not use it.
