Heres my Trex 500esp converted to flybarless, using the align head, castle creations ice75 and skookum sk720. I am pretty happy with the way she looks right now. I am thinking about getting the metal anti-rotation braket and the metal battery tray as well as a full sized tail servo. I must say this is an awesome flying helicopter. What do you think?

Very Nice, I like that Canopy also :-) Full size tail servo is a good upgrade IMHO.

Here is my trex 500 that i have converted from Flybar, to Vbar.

I went ahead and added a few functional upgrades including

  • trex 700E push rod shortened
  • trex 550 canopy mounts added to front of frame.
  • Removed horizonal fin to reduce drag and rear weight
I'm using a fullsize blueline VBar 5.1 Pro
Hobbywing 80A esc W/ Vbar Gov.
Herculese 5A HV bec
scorpian 3026-1600kv motor 14th pinion

Stevin, your heli looks good, but i would unstrap your wires to the skookum from the tail support bars, if you were to crash and the support was forced out of the frame it will take the wires with it, better to cable tie them to the frame.

This is my new TREX 500esp with a microbeast. This is the first flight since the rebuild. Its maiden flight was a disaster. The tail rotor hub broke in flight. The hub and grip screw broke. Lost a blade grip and Edge tailblade. Also destroyed an Align carbon fiber tailboom, tail rotor shaft and torque tube gears front and rear. I am uploading the vid now. It went much better. This is also my first FBL.

thanks Brick, FBL is a new learning curve for me. After flying it for a week I think I need to buy 4 more Microbeasts. I love the power increase and longer flight times...
