  • Stupidly small allen key

    Anybody have an idea what the size of that stupidly tiny allen key that does up the flybar lumps/weights? I think I've lost mine and can't seem to find a suitable one in my kit of allen keys.


    Update:
    This is for the Trex450 Sport

    Regards
    Darryl

      Some of the stuff on the 250 uses a 0.9mm IIRC.

          It could be a 1mm looking at this if its that m3x3 grub screw.

            Guessing it's a 1.3mm hex then as I only have 1.5mm lying around.

              It's the grub screw that sits in the Trex450 Sport flybar lump.

                I think it is an 0.9mm, which is the size of the original 250 hex bolts before they moved to the later 1.3mm size. I am sure when I had a 450 Sport, I used the small 0.9mm allen driver that came with my 250.

                  Think you're right as Ash used my allen key on his 250 at one of the Totton meets.

                    Where can I get a 0.9mm hex wrench. I've tried looking at model stores but all of theirs seem to be 1.3/1.5mm minimum. I've seen a set at homebase that sells for £13 but I'd rather buy a decent set of RC tools.

                      I might have to get a set of Rolson from Maplins for £5 and then get a set of RC tools for 1.3 upwards.

                            If it's a 1.3mm you need, I got one from here.

                            The heli hex sets I searched out all started at 1.5mm though I'm sure there's one out there starting lower.
                            I DID like the look of these though, real purdy ...
