Hello Bob,
I to have been watching your video's and learning from your wealth of knowledge, I have a T-Rex 450SE and I have almost completed assembly and I'm really lookiing forward to winding her up, I'm saving up for a GY401 & S9650 at the moment, should have them next week, in the mean time I'm customising the canopy with a paint job and I've also decided to fit the tinted windscreen supplied in the kit and I have cut out the hole as per your instructions but I'm a bit stuck on how I should continue. One question you probably can help me with, can i use CA glue to glue the windscreen to the canopy, the instruction that came with the aircraft dont even mention anything to do with the windscreen triming, instalation etc.[
]
Thanks for help Bob, keep up the great work. I'll post a video when I start flying her.
Cheers
Ralph

Luis, I am sorry but I have never used a T8UAP radio so I cant tell you if it supports 120 CCPM.
I suggest looking at the Futaba Web Site FAQ for that radio.

No hurry at all Fin... I was just antsy to get to 'em and the helifreak admins were taking their sweet time validating my registration. 
I burned a lot of bandwidth at work today suckin' 'em all down to my computer so I could watch 'em as I work on my SE after hours...
Again, THANKS for making these videos. I know they take a lot of time and effort and I know I speak for a lot of others when I say I appreciate your efforts to share your knowledge.

Hehehe... I'm glad I burned them to a DVD now !! Hate sitting in front of the computer when I get home, since that's what I do all day at work !!! Much nicer to flick on the TV and go over the vids.
Thanks for the videos Bob, they have been a huge help to me and, I'm sure, MANY others !!!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your videos. I'm able to build & fly on my own.
I have a question. For the servos horns, you did mention on your video that we should use the middle holes for proper alignment. I saw a post somewhere said to use the fist hole and can save for servo gears when you crash. I did crash, couple times, and always need to replace all three HS56 gears. Do you have any comment on this.

Thanks Bob. I will try the first hole and check the CCMP interactions to see if I can make it or not. Talking about "CCMP interactions", never heard this word before until I saw Bob's videos. I don't know how many thanks I should say to Bob.

I just added a new video to the list!
I had so many ask me for help on setting blade tracking I went ahead and shot a video explaining it.
Head over to helifreak.com and in the list in my forum is Blade Tracking 101.
Enjoy!

Bob,
Your videos are the best. It helped me out big time! Are you familar with the Spektrum DX6? Can you make a video setting up this radio with the Trex 450SE? I can't find anything on the web to help me out.
