OK, so I guess I'm up for 4 x HS56, right ?

Best bet for the Trex if you have the bucks is 3 HS-65MG (metal gears) and a 9650 for the tail.... If your going to get serious about the Trex and fly t a lot this is a good choice for servos.
I have set up a few folks with HS-56 for the tail but they soon grew out of the capabilities of the HS-56 for the tail (holding capability due to speed)..... Bob

I saw a lot of posts suggesting that for a beginner (= crashes) plastic gears are better since they act as a benign/cheap failure point. Metal gears tend to tranfer the force into the motor, bend rods etc. Hence the Karbonite seemed a good compromise.
My ambitions are modest, hover -> circuits -> moderate FF. If I get that far in six months to a year I'll be happy. It's a price/performance/replacement-cost trade off.

Now that I have gone to MG AND had a crash AND seen many others crash with them, I would much rather replace busted links and bet link rods than servo gears... I have gone MG and wont look back! Bob

OK, I'm convinced. Now I have to scrounge up another few hundred $!
Which leads me to some more dumb newbie questions: - Do the HS-65MG and Futaba-9650 mount directly on the TRex(HDE) or are adjustments/adapters required (pictures of the 9650 show pretty funky mounting tabs) ? - I've seen suggestions that not all servos and Rx have compatible plugs. Do iI have to specify either JR-style or Futaba-style plugs when ordering (I think the DX6 Rx is JR-style) or will any servo plug fit any Rx ?

The HS65's are easier to mount than the HS56's.... The front 2 servos now mount on the OUTSIDE of the frame... Thats way better. The rear servo must now mount on the inside of the frame and you still need to grind the ball as I explain in my video to get the link as straight as possible.... Then if you want the rear link completely 100% straight (I dont think it is nessary) then you will need to space the servo out from the frame a tiny bit.
Some people say the single servo hole in the 65's does not quite line up with the holes in the frame but I had no ptroblem there. If it doesnt it's a small difference easily fixed with a xacto blade. Bob

Bob, I've just watched a few of your videos, well done they are good.
I just thought you may want some feedback, on one of them you show people how to tidy up the wiring. If you do any videos specifically about this in future (I hope you do as you have a knack for these vids) it may be a good idea to mention that while tidy wiring is a good idea, its a bad idea to make the wires exactly the right length. Because having some slack is a good thing when a crash happens, obviously no slack means damage can be caused to items by wires being pulled out of things. |

Yea... I call them "service loops". Having them there also helps with vibration causing them to fatigue and break wires internally within the insulation. So yes you DONT want them tight especially right at the servo.

I'm a complete noob at this heli stuff so forgive me if I'm asking too much..! My experience so far is with the Venom nr3d RTF, and I"ve learned enough about these things that now I won't quit til figure out what you guys have mastered--If I don't go bust first! But I just picked up my 450xl ccpm- got it built with the elecs installed and am trying to work thru the radio setups. I bought a Futaba T7CHP radio and was wondering how much info on your Futaba 9 channel video will cross over to my seven channel set ups. The screens are different and I was wondering what else like the abreviations and terminologys are different. I guess what I am really asking is Are ya going to do a radio setup vid on the 7 channel system (for Dummies)? Thank you again for all your vids, Dave |

The 9Z vid wont be anything like your radio. However the CCPM videos uses the 7CHP so those should help you a lot!

Sorry no videos but it is pretty easy.
Set the following: Ail, elv, rudder and pitch to 0 (center stick). Set Throttle to LOW stick (this will be off for electrics). Set the gyro gain channel to HOLD. Now it's easy to test but unhook your motor or remove the pinion is best. Move the sticks to the corners with motor running and just turn of the TX. If you set it right swash should go level and zero pitchand tail will go nutral. Motor should shut off. Hope this helps, Bob

in my 9chp , to get zero pitch the pitch curver is about 53%, to set zero pitch for fail safe mode trex with with 120 degree swash.. i will use this value (53%) on Ail, elv, and pitch . i may be wrong but i am working on it.. thank |
