Great. I walked back here to type and got a wiff of burning electrics, walked back into the living room and find that my battery has been damaged when the thing took off, then promptly crashed a minute ago, i have the dumb thing in a pot on the front porch. Any recomendations on disposing of it?
I quit for a while. I will get a new battery when i can afford it, and then let one fo the guys at the field figure this crap out. IM through for a while.

sok...
I might be able to get another batt, but it still didnt fix my problem. I did have them going the wrong way, but i tunred them. Again worked on it, same reult. HOWEVER i am starting to wonder now, should the blades start outall the way one driection and the gyro correcting as needed? or should the start up at the 0 pitch point and travel either direction? It seems like im not getting enough physical thrust to keep the tail from spinning(moved the slider farther in and it seemed to help some because the blades had mroe throw.
SOrry, trying to go it alone, and the instructions in the box arent real clear.

I have my silver framed 450 SE built with Align motor and 35 ESC,(3) 56's and 401 gyro and 9650.This thing is toooo pretty to fly.But I will!Could someone please list the setup for a Fut 9CH as the instructions are vagueI am an Int flyer with Raptors and Blades).I have one other problem.The servo for the elev(rear one)is facing in and to line up ball link as vertical and as left to right as possible the servo horn is back over body of servo and ball on inside of horn.Thia is how some others on forums appears to be setup.This setup has ball rubbing case.Am I missing something?Also I have seen some setup with ball in 2nd hole and some in 3rd.Mine lines up more vertival in 2nd,is this ok?Also what is the best arrangement for all the gear(radio,gyro,esc,&batt)?Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All You guys are great! This thread has been very helpfull in making my decision to purchase a TREX. I have a Question for you pros. My Futaba 7C radio came with an R127DF Rx. I am a big fan of Futaba and this Rx - I have been using this exact Rx for over 10 years in my airplanes without a single issue. I would like to use it in my TREX. I removed the plastic cover and used shrinkwrap over it. It comes in at .8 oz. Removing the cover also took away about 25% of its bulk. Does anyone forsee any problems with using this Rx? I had origionally planed to use an Electron 6 from Hitec but feel that the Futaba is a higher quality Rx @ only a .3 oz penalty and i dont have to spend another $55.00. Thanks for all the help.

Hey rcflyerdave, I used HS56's all round on the cyclic and the same as you on the tail, I had to put the servo's in backwards forwards, ball links inside and out. Whatever worked correctly! I spaced the aileron and elevator servo's to stop any rubbing and to assure that the control rods were perpendicular to the control horns and the control surface. The only issue I had with the 9C was getting the servos operating the right direction, make sure your swash plate is set on SR-3 and with my set up having the servo's the way they are, I only had to reverse aileron, throttle (I did rudder too only because I wanted the servo in a certain position) you may be different, the instructions tell you what the swash plate should do with the movements of the sticks on page 16 of the manual. I was not too worried about the 2nd or 3rd hole thing, just put the ball link in whatever hole it needs to be to assure that the control rod is as close to 90 degrees as possible. I have my Rx in the rear opening, the gyro on top of the tail, the speed controller where they say to put the battery and the batt in the front tray compartment only because I have neon lights around the heli that I like to show off! My heli is about 1.5 degrees tail heavy as apposed to nose, but I like it like that. Hope that helps! Let us know if you need help with throttle/pitch curves/gyro setup. Chris B

What modifications need to be made to the HS-56 servos to fit the carbon frame? I need to pick up some cyclic servos this weekend and it going to be the HS-56's or HS-65's. Thanks.

Hey ptgarcia, I am not familiar with the HS 65 servo, however the only mod needed for the HS 56 was to cut off the vertical mounts and the mounting on the underside of the servo. Also to make life easy, align and pre drill the holes you need to accommodate for how you are going to mount it before you put the frame together. It is a pain to do it after the frame is assembled. I cut up and sanded an old control horn to achieve the correct spacing for the aileron and elevator servos in the frame. I went with the HS 56's because there was no slop at all; the servo was tight and has been a great performer so far.

I don't know if any one use Naro servor, I have that in my SE and it fit perfectly without modification. I don't know about the quality of this servo from it specification compared to Hitect 56 this servor faster and more torque than hs-56
