RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Patryn,

The EXI plastic version of the 500 that Xheli sells is something I also have looked at. The plastic really isn't all that much.

For the head, you'll want to replace the mixing arms...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Hi Dave,

I am planning on getting the 500 this year, have to give it some time though since I just got the Tarot Pro in January - think I went over my quota allowance for the time being. :D

One thing to remember with the clones is you will have to replace certain parts with authentic Align parts to get things up to par. For example,...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Hi Patryn,

If you are considering a 450 kit I saw a post in the trex forum where a guy was doing a build thread on a clone he got: see Here.

Looks like the heli link is Here.

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Oh, I think I got you know.

The feather thin washers - head dampening shims right? Yeah, there a bit of a pain if you drop them. You probably will want only 1 per side to start. The more you...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

The only thing good about crashes are... um... well... still thinking - nothing! :D

Although you do get comfortable with tearing down and rebuilding. :)

I've had my new 450 Pro for a...

Actually, I went through a phase where it seemed each time out I was having to do some type of rebuild when I got home. Glad...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Hey Patryn,

Best way to wind up in the ER is to drink alot and then see how close you can get to those CF blades!! :D You may want to try to put some colored tape on the end of one blade and...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Hi everyone,

Patryn,

great to hear that all your parts came in, although some washers were missing - someone's messing up with QC controls. :) I always keep all my screws and step washers...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

For a CPP2 I just eyeball the swash and get it as close to level as possible.

If you don't mind waiting for a leveling tool then ordering one will give you more precise settings.

Oh,...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

That's good to hear.

Now, you'll need to go into the subtrim menu on your DX6i and work on the following: aerilon, pitch, and elevator. Mess around with the setting until you have all 3 servo's...

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Good idea on leaving off the canopy and CF blades until you have things setup correctly - less items to replace.

RE: DX6i with a CP Pro2 = destruction

Hi again,

Just to help, can you list the settings you have already in your DX6. Start with swash settings and go from there.

Also, have you had the chance to look over your heli to see...
