TREX vs MX400 swashplate
I notice that MX400 uses a 4 control rod swash plate vs 3 from TREX. MX400 does a look a lot better since aileron won't affect elevator. Is this true ?

Both mechanical and ccpm have ups and downs. The x400 is a good learning heli for flight and working on. My Wife made me sell mine as It was the oldest in the fleet when I started getting too many helis and they got in the way. LOL I kept my alumi parts and elects making a deal with my dad as I got him into helis and he has a x400. I still like the x400 and wish they would make a 600 but for now my rex 600 is the most flown bird.
Ok back on track. With the 400 you can get the ccpm kit and go to that once you advance to sport flying. Also the x400 is a great fit for fun scale.

here's a few of my MX400-ish.. it started life as an MX450 when I picked it up, I tried to set it up and fly it but couldn't figure out the mixing part, finally I added the swash and everything else from spare MX400 parts to get this... that way I could duplicate my programming and fly it.
I've figured out the error of my ways now, but am kind of liking this the way it is.. MX450 MX400 swash Align CF boom painted by me Hitec servos Trex stabilizers (they were in stock) Trex pushrod for rudder Align main blades and rear rotor blades nothing special, but flies great for me! |

Here's mine...
She is almost ready for flight. Just to get in the air, it needs the following:
9T pinion c/f rod for tail solder male deans connector to bec/esc (still working up the courage) Tx/Rx (6EXP w/ 8 chnl Rx or DX7) As for the upgrades, it still needs the following: alum. tail pitch slider alum. tail boom mount alum. counter gear mount alum. main shaft mount alum. stabilizer kit alum. main grips c/f 325 main blades I have the c/f stabilizer fins, just can't seem to find them at the moment. As for the setup/routing, how does everything look? (I want the gyro where it is) Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I put the ball link on the leading edge of the tail grips, and will do so for the main grips once I upgrade to the alum. stabilizer kit. |

That was my advice for a biginner. I have killed enough walkies that I have a real distast for them. The heli without the elecs is good but to start with somthing that setup wrong at the factory with cheep elecs turns many peaple away from the hobby.
