Thread: Now i've done it too............

I have a 450SE V2 which I was flying all the time for about two years until last summer when I got a Beam E4.

On the SE V2 I was using Emax ES08 servos and they work great and are very inexpensive. The motor is a Turnigy Typhoon and I was very pleased with it as well. I always used the stock Align 35 amp ESC. I was using an MKS DS95 tail servo and a GY401 and the tail held rock solid.

My Beam has Hitec HS5065MG servos, Scorpion 2221-8 motor with Scorpion commander ESC, Spartan gyro and Futaba S9257 tail servo.

My 450 pro had almost the exact setup as your beam sheryl except I used the align ESC & align tail servo on mine. it flew like it was on rails and the only reason I sold it was because I prefer flying bigger models

I'd love to afford a trex but can't so a clone supplied here is a great idea.

try oomodels they do tarot kits

More money than i was planning on spending but this is my new hobby and i'm going to do it properly

Next is Motor, ESC and batteries

Good job the only way to do it is properly, Btw which savox servos are you using?

0237's They turned up today, So did the DS520

Guys would I be able to use an Align upgraded alloy tail slider?

Yes it should fit, (which part exactly the bellcrank or the bit with the bearings and the ball?) Ive got these on my 450 and they work great

The bit with the ball and the bearings hope it fits cos I've got one on the way

Update:
I went with the standard align tail slider, works a treat
The Savox servos are in and today I levelled the swash and set blade pitch
I've got 10.5 degrees either way

Should be a good heli mate. 10.5 degrees is plenty, i only run 10.5 on my 500 and 600

I've also got some flybar weights coming as the kit didn't have any, would you guys recommend fitting them as i'm a beginner?

If you are beginner and looking to hover around and learn then it would be a good idea as you can always move them further in as you progress and need more response Makes life easier
