Status: offline 		Sometimes I surprise myself with my dullness. I have a 450 XL HDE trex. After changing out so many tail booms, etc, the cheap plastic frame no longer holds screws well. So my wife bought me a beautiful SE carbon frame as a gift, per my request. I now realize in looking at this thing, that it is built for ccpm. I have all of the head bling for the 450 XL and would like to if anyone can tell me what I would need to do to convert this thing to ccpm. I would guess that there is more to it than just buying the ccpm swashplate.

I'll appreciate any advice. I'd hate to tell my wife that I cant use her gift.

You will need:

1. CCPM Swashplate
2. Ball, links and rods to make the connections. You could possibly use the ones from your XL if the length is correct. (I have not done it myself.)

I can't think of anything else
