Master Builders,
I’m starting a new project Roban 429 (700, Air Zermatt) and I’m seeking for advice, tricks and tips from you that have many builds experience.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Use thin CA glue and run it around between wood and CF structure. Some (of the early Robans that I had) had issues with not being properly glued. This may have changed with time. Next try to source the Quick UK upgrade of the main gear and pinion. Much quieter and a perfect fit. other than that.. enjoy the new project
Thanks I'll check the site.
I have a new ec130 and they have certainly up there game in the glueing lol from the original ones.
Note regarding the main gear upgrade: Roban issued a new improved version following customer feedback, ref. SHSM-800SU.
About this main gear replacement, see e.g., YT channel "Northwest Scaleworks by JestRR" and look for video "Roban Reach Bell 407 Re-Gear and spring tuneup!!".
This is maintenance, not new build but might be of interest still.
Thanks Remy, I've been checking Northwest YT channel.
