RE: T-Rex 500 Build
the 500 is a complete 100% build not like the 450saV2 thats 1/2 byult in box ,,, I like the full build better you dont have to take assembles apart checking for thread lock and graseing

RE: T-Rex 500 Build
Looking good! 
Mine should be here by the Friday or Saturday. When I finally get it will be like my 5 year old son on Christmas day. I have all of my electronics except for my tail servo, it should be in by next Monday or Tuesday. Did everything go together smoothly? Any tricks or things I should watch out for? I finally decided that I will be running HS-5245 servos on the swash, AR6200 receiver, Gy401 gyro, and a S9257 tail servo. I decided on this gyro and servo setup after watching how well it did with Finless Bob flying over on Helifreak. He is 100 times the pilot I am and the tail looked rock solid.

RE: T-Rex 500 Build
the only tricky part of the build is servo install ,,, but Align gives you alot of mounts and blocks for all the different servos .... not hard to figure out what will work best

Finless' 600 build vids cover most of the bases. From what I gather it's just a mini 600 I guess I'll have to wait till the little brown truck comes by in a week.

. I finished the construction I now have to program everything should be done in a day or so when I stop being lazy. I like building way more than programming ha!
