new to scale myself
i have been flying fixed wing for about 8 years now and started heli about 4 years ago -
I had just purchaced a Hirobo Sceadu 50 size - was thinking about getting a bell 222 or airwolf body from Century - since i've seen lots of good things about the site... is there much to actually attaching the body to the frame - doesnt show i need to change any hardware - but also states not 100% compatible... has anyone else tried this combination?

RE: new to scale myself
I can’t speak for your particular combination but a Blade 400 fits nicely in the 450 size align fiberglass version of the H500e. From what others tell me some modification will be necessary on almost any scale body. But as I see it, if you can repair the bird after a crash, the small adjustments needed to fit a scale body won’t be that difficult. My biggest problems were the tail servo link and final balancing. The B400 is lighter than the trex450 and I needed to add some putty to the nose to balance it out. Ill say this though, it was worth it. It puts a whole new factor of COOL in your flying!

rumva, you can install your sceadu with confidence as i know that combo works. i have one in the airwolf and as they are pretty much the same, you wont have any issues.

Heres what i got now - mixed airwolf body with redwolf paintjob - still working on retracts - since using a spektrum 7channel - may need to move to 9 channel to work since its 3 seperate servos and only 1 channel left to run on and not wanting to put 3 servos on 1 channel

JR's simple solution
JR's new MatchBox is an ideal solution to the "matching dilemma," allowing modelers to match servos with precision and flexibility never before possible. Housed in a case about the size of an R610M micro receiver, the MatchBox plugs into any channel of a receiver that is driving more than one servo. Up to four servos can then be plugged into

RE: new to scale myself
A JR matchbox is plugged into a channel on your receiver you can then plug 4 servos into the matchbox and have separate adjustment
for each servo for end travel and reverse,
