XL 1001 kit –  Original equipment

*  “Bent” aluminum frames (known to crack after a while) (my 1st one did)

*  Wooden servo tray (yes, in the old days, you had to glue and paint the tray)

*  non-self alighning clutch setup (dial indicator mandatory)

*  Webra 61 rear-exhaust engine with “U-pipe”

*  Wire drive tail with “short” boom

*  660mm built-up wood blades

*  asymetrical head (used the pitch links on one side and flybar links on the other) (works fine)

*  The old-style short XL shaft (twitchy)

*  old-style non delta blade grips
