Is that a setting in my DX6i?

You may need to increase gyro gain, which is controlled from the radio.

[smokin3000gt]

I have the gain set at 98%. I bumped it too a hundred but I got a slight wag so I brought it down to 98%. Would it have something to do with travel/adj? Yaw right will stop dead, but when I go left, it drifts past the stop point

This does not show a build video as I think that would be redundant (it's not that different) but does go into all the changes and I do a good overview and build of the major change which is the head and thrust bearings.

If you all feel I need to cover some build things let me know and I will.

ENJOY!

Hi!!! I received today my first T-Rex!!!

It has a black washout, similar to the one in the T-Rex 500. The manual draws this part as the one in the kit (open guides, not close as the blue one), and names it as 'HH5002L-2'.

I'm sure the heli is pretty new as it has numbers in the links and in the pinions. Someone talk about something in the motor, but I didn't notice it. v 2.5 ??

[Finless]

I have never seen the black open washout block for the 450 so that must be a new change Align recently made.

Bob

[jefierro]

bought it late last year. sep or oct can't remember.

[joebig]

That's it!!!! Mine is pretty recent, the seller had a price-code sticker in the box and the date was 11/12/2008.

Sorry, I don't have a scanner, so this are images (photos) of the manual with this new washout base. Enjoy....

New member here. I just bought a Trex 450 v2 today. I'd like to view the videos, but I use a Mac computer. Are the vidoes available in another format besides .wmv, which I can't
view?

[belkington]

You could try flip4mac (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ponents.mspx)- it is a quicktime plugin that allows you to view wmv files in quicktime. Another alternative is to use isquint (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19769/isquint) to convert the wmv files into mp4 fomat to view in itunes or quicktime player.

Both of these are free downloads. There may well be alternatives but these are the ones that have worked for me.

[halzzh]

Thanks, belkington, I will give that a try. I knew I couldn't be the only Mac user.

[mapas]

also vlc will always work

[mnaaaelezz]

Thanks for the Manual
