T-REX 500 Pro DFC Model Wanted

Hi, I will be getting a T-REX 500 Pro DFC kit soon and was wondering if anyone can recommend a model (or settings) with simular characteristics to practice with in Phoenix 4?. Phoenix has the 500 but not the flybarless version unfortunately.

If you go and edit the model, under the Flybar attribute you can select "Passive Flybarless" this simulates a Flybarless head with gyro controlled cyclics.
You still see the flybar in the graphics but the physics model is updated.

I can't say how accurate the model is as I don't have one.

Thanks mate. Anyone got a T-REX 500 DFC?

My buddy Pete has a 500pro dfc and it is a wicked Heli, every time I see it, it makes me wish I'd started with a 500 instead of a 450

I'm sure you'll love the 500 DFC. Beyond the micros, my first build was a 450. But when I got the 550 PRO DFC it was a huge upgrade in heli. The 450 is a great machine but the 550 is just awesome to fly in comparison. I originally got the 450 because I wanted to start out flying locally and didn't want something too big to start with (fear factor!). But once I got comfortable I panged for a big heli (reading heli mags doesn't help with this!).

Just make sure to take your time to understand the FBL programming thoroughly and double (triple) check everything before the maiden. The smallest mistake can cost. Best to just get it right.

Enjoy the build!

I've been saving for quite some time and selling the kids toys to pay for this lot lol. I'm also getting the DX9 with Rx+2 sats. How many Satalites do you have on your 550?

[greg.lloyd]

Just one Spektrum sat in addition to the AR7200. The 7200 is on the top (it has two antennas) and the sat is on the side of the frame. You want them mounted apart and at different orientations

Would you say the AR9020 9CH Air Receiver with X-Plus is abit overkill?, I've just purchased it lol
