So let me get this straight. Is this trev's 500 or Ashley's?

It's Trevs that I built for him because his hands are majorly screwed and he can't hold a screwdriver currently.

This is a joke BTW..

looking forward to the vids. i have ordered the last pair of 2200mah packs mike had last night for this and sold my little rex 450 to make way for this 500....damn i'll miss that thing.

cheers

Out of interest do you fingers go white when you lose sensation ?

No mine don't as a rule. Look the same as normal just tingle and feel slighly numb and stiff

Lets just hope it has a longer life span than your 600E did then, or you will be kicking yourself for selling that 450.

this is true but i expect this to be the ticket. it is the perfect size imo for a "mini" outdoor heli. i can't fly indoors altough my 450 flys in just about anything.

i had my 600e for about 2 months, was a complete waste of money for me.

cheers

not done this before but here's a link to the build page for the T-Rex 500 as an 'in-progress' piece of work.
Includes two videos.

I see Align have brought a Lipo out for it

Hopefully others will follow suit at under £60

[raptorheli2]

you would need to be radio rental to buy that after aligns recent 2100 packs.

cheers

Ash or Trev

If you do get chance to fly it today could you let me know if in your opinion it flies more like the 600 in being stable and precise or is it just a slightly bigger 450 type experience being a bit twitchy and quick to get away..

The way i see it,if it maintains a lot of the 450`s characteristics but in a slightly bigger package an upgrade is not really worth it..

If however it turns out to be a 600 type flier but in a smaller package i would certainly consider one

Cheers and dont stuff it

Very true,,Revos are all i would buy so hopefully they will do a similar one

[Ashley Davis]

I know for a fact Mike will make up Revo 6S1P packs if you want them in that format.

Trev is installing servos as I type, hopefully maiden flight in an hour or so.....which of course we will video
