2 questions about gaui 425,

[firehopper]

I have one and want to convert it to fbl,

1st question, what class of heli is this.

2nd question, is it compatable with trex 500 fbl heads? I'd love to find a multi rotor head and tail rotor. for it

1st question, what class of heli is this.
It's a top class one mate Some call it 500 after the Trex 500 / HDX 500 etc. calling their 425 bladed helis 500s, personally I think of it as a 425.

2nd question, is it compatable with trex 500 fbl heads? I'd love to find a multi rotor head and tail rotor. for it

It could be with a bit of fiddling - both use a 8mm mainshaft

There is a multirotor head on Ebay for a 500 that would work for our Gaui's
I think the vendor in china is Volcano..60.00 shipped W/ Swash...
It's on my list...

My Ebay trex500 FBL head popped right on. Even the linkages that came with it were the correct length,

If the multibladed head comes with its own swashplate, try to find out if it's outer balls are about the same orientation/size as the Gaui swash.
