trex with outrage velocity head will post pics latter if i figure out how to but flew it today and so far its an improvement tracks strail loops and rolls nice fast flip and roll rate makes the heli go where it should be going , had that much fun i ran it out off fuel and had to auto into the next field lol

Pics would be good, as I was thinking of doing the same.

I assume you kept the Trex swashplate and replaced everything above it?

pretty easy job to do i kept the trex washout and bottom arms so not affect phazing but from there up its velocity all links are set to max 3d the only thing is you need to adjust is where the centre stick to swash is as there is a difference in hight to the arms to the swash but its not hard to figure out , and to turn down the pitch range im useing +/-12 roll rate and filp rates are better and you can do cnsecutive staitionary flips and it just sits there and dont wander at all something i could never do with the standard head , its erly days yet but im likeing it so far , bonus is that i saved it when i ran out of fuel first time ive had to auto from an engine out , witnesses aswell , so all good

not surprised someone did this, the outrage head is superb.

I witnessed the running out fuel lol We thought he was going to land on top of the fence around the field!!

Thats what happens when your having so much fun flying Davie!!!

The head looked the part as well btw lol

I guess with the washout pins in the headblock being on the centre line of the head of the Trex and Velocity head you can get away with keeping the align washout base and arms.

yeh seems to be spot on first time ive been able to conistantly flip and it stays in one spot

[Britflyer]

Any problems at full negative with the washout pins not being long enough and the washout base not being located correctly?

As I have read with the full Velocity 50 the washout pins could do with being abit longer. I guess you could get round this by lengthening the links between the CCPM bellcranks and the swash, which I think you imply that you did.

interesting thought may have to give it a go at some point.

once you centre the swash it needs to sit higher ie lenthen the rods to it its not a problem as the amount the swash moves is a lot less from full + to full - , im running +/- 12 with no trouble could prolly get more but i dont use any more than that so that was what i wanted it set at
should get more flying tomoro see how it goes

just a wee update not had time to realy try this head out this week , second chance i had the hyper started making noises a vibeing realy bad so that curtailed that (front bairing started to spin in the crank case not good wore out the crank case ) third chance i fitted my spare engine tt53 couple off flights to tune then started to push it thats when i noticed that no matter how hard i tryed i couldnt bog the engine so i tryed some tictocs being very hard on the pitch thats when it became cleer that the clutch was gone i could see the blades slowing down but no change in engine noise , oh well new clutch fitted just waiting for a chance to try it , as far as i can tell this head is faster and more acurate than the trex one and seems to loop and roll pretty strait compaired to the trex head

got a chance to have a few flights on the 600 today the head deffo sorts out the heli much better than the standard head , a few off the guys had a go and seemed to like it , no dought they will post their comments latter

[raptorheli2]

i had a wee shot of this today (a full tank, sorry davie, it was that good!) and it's definetely a nice upgrade for the 600. it is so much nicer than the 600 setup, it actually goes where you point it which is unknown for a 600.

well worth doing and i expect to see more doing this or atleast changing to the velocity.

cheers
