  • Cut and carve std heads on trex 600n and 500

    Here's my carved up standard head on my 600npro modified for flybarless


    BLS451, BLS251 - all on 6v.

    I had to move the balls in one hole on the swash servos. Even then the cyclic is not quite on the blue light on 6 degrees its morte like 6.5. I set it with the blue light and a bit more then 6 degrees and it seems happy enough - no wobbles even in todays gusty gale.
    The long links go to the quick uk swash on short balls removed from the chopped off ends of the washout arms. I think the long link rods might be from a knight 3D, I'm not sure they were in my flight box.
    Note the grips are flipped, so the delta offset is stabilising - the dampers are the KBDD orange extra hard ones. The phoenixtech 600D blades are working fine. I tried my align 600D night blades and although it is still locked in the hover its all a bit wild after that- might need reduced control throws to make that more pleasant.
    BeastX is on two thicknesses of ripmax servo tape (as used previosly for my CSM720).


    Here's the 500. DS510x3 with DS520 on the tail. running 5S 4200 on the scorpion 1900kv motor.
    I had some problems with this - I had to go for the beastX fixing tape, middle left in, before it would stop wobbling (the 2 x ripmax servo tape didn't work well).


    The conversion is currently reversable, I didn't cut the washout arms yet! It was just possible to drill the collar for a grub screw and miss the fixing screws and pin slot.
    I moved the ccpm balls in one hole on the servo arms, and fitted raptor balls to the swash centre for the long links. The long links are the original long link rods with raptor ball links which make them long enough to work. Again the grips are flipped and now it all seems stable with the std align 425D blades. Its using the KBDD dampers so the spindle doesn't move much.
    This heli flew a lot more accurately than the 600 before so the difference is not as marked - but it is still a lot more stable in the hover - and more accurate in tumbling manoevres.
    The 500 has a lot less gain than the 600.

    With both helis the extra power is really noticable.

    Are you using missmatched cyclic servos there Gordon? Just noticed the different coloured servo plugs thats all

      No. I think there is an extension on the elevator servo.
