Default RE: Official T-rex 450 XL SE Thread

I agree with boostcrzy with the gyro...get the GY401 if not then the Gy240. Everything else will work fine. You will want to check the 430 can so that it is a tight fit as some have failed in flight...this is not only limited to only Align motors, but as the T-rex is in the spotlight, any problems are magnified. Some have taken the top and bottom ends and JB Weld them back together.
Remember to green loctite the swashplate where the inner plate pressure-fits into the large bearing. Just a little bit will do, just apply it to the part of the swash that contacts the bearing.

No Post Office deliveries today...almost tried to run a "repaired" blade grip...ALMOST was that desperate. Could not bear to throw a blade and knowing me demo the heli.

Did buy some Helimax 325mm carbon fiber blades from the lhs... let you guys know, but at first glance, the do seem a bit heavier.
