Chaps,

Nice one for putting the time in to show us this information and videos for the Trex 500. I know for you it is a new toy but I also know how much time it takes up just to produce all the info and put it up onto the web.

Nice one dudes!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I have a go now?

Matt

PS. Have you autoed it yet? If so whats it like?

[trvo]

No Probs, Ash's done most of the hard work, I just had to set it up and fly it . There will be more videos tomorrow if I can make it to Ash's site. I've changed a few bits here and there on the settings so it will be interesting to see what it feels like.

Bob's done an auto I believe, I'm saving that for when theres a few more spares in the country . Any comments Bob?

I'm knackered and I've still got over 80 build photos to edit and post

Hi Trev

Couple of auto's actually, it's not bad considering the size of model and my sloppy servo's.
I was able to put it down where I wanted to first time and control the glide, with the 450 SE you just have to come hammering in and plonk it down, this is in zero wind conditions and a field with a roughish surface so I had to be sure and accurate with it.
Still no real reserve but you wouldn't expect any with this sized model in zero wind, aerobatic auto's next then I think!

Cheers
Bob

I was planning on scanning it.....um....sometime

[trvo]

1.727Ah added to the pack after that 4 minute flight. That's the 2nd flight those packs have had so they'll still be running in.

[raptorheli2]

so 1700mahs then, thats about as much as you want to take out of those packs....thanks mate.

cheers

[Ashley Davis]

just uploaded a bunch more pictures to the build page......still more to come

[Sesame]

just like to add my thanks for your work Ash and Trev, however I can't forgive you having a model when I can't get one

Well done, i'm convinced now its more a model to suit me than the 600 would be at this time.
