Modifications
Here is the list of the modifications I've done to the 500N:
Main tank - output vents now facing toward the front of the helicoper. Cleaner looking. Clearance from the top of the tank to the autorotation tail drive gear is about 1/16 of an inch. The tank may be moved back toward the tail so that the nipple pressed against the tail boom block for additional clearance. Having the tank facing forward with the nipple pressed against the tail boom block prevents the tank from coming loose on hard 3D. Governor - Spektrum Rev Limiter Sensor wired to the Align RCE-G600. Sensor mounted to the back plate. Two flanges inside the back plate were milled out for the sensor to fit. RCDepot/flyhelirus now offers the milled back plate and metal mounting bracket for those running the Spektrum sensor. Gear ratio is now 1:1. The sensor needs to clear the bottom plate so I trimmed out a small portion of the bottom plate for clearance. To connect the sensor to the RCE-G600, use Spektrum 6" Quick Disconnect Remote Receiver Extension Part No. SPMAJST3 Battery - A broken battery tray (Part No. 500B020) was trimmed and CA'd to the bottom of the bottom plate. This provides additional surface area to attach the loop part of the velcro. Hook and Loop (with D-ring) is used to secure the battery to the bottom of the helicopter. Attached are pictures of the mod. Last edited by BenHeli; 05-14-2009 at 06:29 PM.. |

Mast0ras. "Just Do It" Who know's if Align will do a 500N I feel they should but depends if they feel it will make money or not. I been working on designing new frames for 500n simalar to a 600n but requirers alot of parts. "I havn't getting up yet".. RCDN 500 is simple and works. My RCDN kit is in the mail ....

My kit is stuck in UK customs. When it clears it will be all systems go. Can't wait.
BenHeli, Could you post the modifications as a sticky. That way whenever an improvement is made it will be easy to find. Cheers MM |

Sorry guys! I was stuck working on an emergency brief to be filed this morning so no pictures of the modification. I'll have it, hopefully, later this afternoon or at the latest tomorrow.
As for the sticky I will ask Will James for permission. |

I don't see why not. However, if the 600N is flying great why change the set up.
Sorry guys. I've been extremely busy with work and the OCMA fun fly so I'm a bit behind with the mod pictures. |

No the DS821 is to big. use something like your cyclic servo or make a adapter plate and use a Hitec 65 hb
