Default Picture of your fleet

Lets take a look at your fleet. Post your pics and any info you want to share.
Mini Funtana - given to me free, just had to do some repairs and add electronics
Micro P-51 with a few upgrades to include the engine.
Blade MSR - still fun
Blade 400 - engine and all electronics upgraded and with CF/CNC aluminum frame. I also changed the tail rotor blades to 60mm(57mm stock). It makes it so much better. A few other changes/upgrades as well.

Nice, I love the sea hawk. What size is that one and does the rear stabilizer move?

That is the picture I've been looking for. From the 250 to the 700 in a row, fantastic.

The Sea Hawk is the RC Aerodyne with a set of Trex 600 mechanics. Its big enough to swing 620's. I had a broblem with the rear stab hinges so its fixed now.

The manual that came with it says:

ALIGN
EP-HELICOPTER
TREX 600 ESP
INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Ican only go by what the manual says that came with it...and it matches up withthe schematic drawings that my walkthrough and examination of it have identified so far. So Ihave to assume it is the ESP at this point without additional information as to why it isn't. So can you provide some additional information then as to why it isn't an ESP so that Ican evaluate?

The ESP is a totally new helo, Obvious to the eye at 20 feet are the ESP has torque tube tail drive, the paddles are all carbon, with no cut outs and stickers over them, and they ESP does not have an anti rotation bracket behind the swash.

There are almost no parts that can be interchanged between the ESP and e.

Link to the ESP manual- http://www.heliproz.com/images/trex600espmanual.pdf

Link to the e manual- http://www.heliproz.com/images/align...600-manual.pdf


Just look at the picture on the cover. If you need to order parts you'll need to use the e manual.

I'm not ragging on you, just your helo is not a ESP.

evans right. The anti rotation bracket is a dead give away. The esp uses an A arm. The cyclic geometry is very different.

OK....thank you! Iwasn't feeling you were ragging me. Ijust feel that when challenginga poster on an issue, it is helpful if the person in disagreement provide additional information so the person who postedthe wrong info can come away with understanding what was wrong and add what they learned about their mistaketo their own body of knowledge and understanding. This makes it a win - win for both parties and then no mistaken intentcan get assumed. :-)

No prob, the big bold letters you used kind of was like yelling at me though... So did you get the manual with the helo when you bought it? Were you sold it as a ESP? Just curious....

Sorry about the bold letters...I was just trying to put some visual separation between what Iwas quoting off the cover from what Iwas writing.

I picked up the T600 used from someone. To be honest my familairity with RC heli's has been totally confined to E-Flite brand heli's.This was my first stepping out into the other brands, in this case, ALIGN. And doing this was totally spurred on by price-point and not by taking any time to do my homework. So as I think back over this Ibelieve the model confusionwas my baddue to my lack of familairty with the TREXline ofheli's.

Though Ihave had it awhile Iam still waiting to fly it for the first time as Iam awaiting the arrival of a needed Thunder Power 5000mAh 22.2V 6s Lipo battery. I have found that batteries this size are usually special order even in my local total RC store Ipatronize. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Hopefullythis week sometimeI will finally make its first flight.

Thanks for the clarification you provided!
