Default RE: Caliber 30. 46-50 Engine conversion review.

Tongie,

Its great to hear about how your 50 ship flies. I have my Caliber now and am awaiting the conversion kit. It will probably be here tomorrow.

I've got another question for you. What mods did you do to your kit other than the conversion kit??? I understand Vortexgen's reasoning behind the the mods he did but I'm wondering how much of it is overkill so I wanted the opinion of someone else who has done the mod.

For me, Yes.... the links and rods have to go and the swashplate and blade grips look suspicious. Bracing the servo tray is something I will do but it would probably fly without it right away. Metal mixing and bell crank arms might look nice but the Raptor .50 flies with more flimsy looking versions.

Anyway, just wondering how yours is set-up.

Thanks,
Mike
