Hi all! Following on from my thread Piro Tuning (Spirit Pro) - Page 3 I've been looking for a good location to find out about interchangeability of T-Rex parts (in my case a 550E V2) and was given this website (Align's) as the best location by my local dealer. Ignore the lettering, the link still works fine..... 亞拓家電網路購物
With a bit of patience (thinking) and clicking around I've already been able to understand some of the relationships of 550/600/700 and even 700/800 parts to one another. I'm sure that there are still many mysteries waiting to be solved as my heli experience grows but I'm sure there are others who'll benefit, too.
A quick example is my query to Smoggie about the relative dimensions of landing skids. There is an illustration showing the dimensions of the 700E and 700F3C skids. The F3C part is 10 mm lower, so in my case buying the 700E will gain me an extra 10 mm ground clearance for my vertical tail fin, which is currently only 7 mm.
Of course, when landing it means nothing if I make a mistake, however, when standing the heli on an uneven surface for take-off, it is better to have a bit extra.
