Few Trekker Questions

tbird187 · 11-29-2012, 08:58 AM

I am looking for anyone who has upgraded their dampers in their Trekker what did you use..

Also if anyone has a stock Trekker with the exception of a V-Bar I am looking for your gain numbers or your whole setup thanks!

We are ALL waiting on that answer. Nubbie has created a bunch of great threads on these issues. Hes the best test pilot and builder for this heli and im following his lead. My guess is we either need a dampner thats non compressable or need to wait on KDE to make a better head.......Align sucks.

Here is my post about the damper issues.

The dampers are the same as the 700e. Here is what I replaced to get a seemingly solid head. Only time will tell.

And there is plenty of documentation on the OWB issues. Some of it here. I have nearly 20 flights on mine with the KDE OWB mount, and the new Align CNC main gear. All seems to be holding up. The previous OWB's only lasted about 20 flights before they started showing stress.
