450 450 stretch

[cml001]

Anyone stretched a 450pri dfc w dominator parts? I searched and found a lot of guys say'n that w 360mm blades they contact the tail blades.. Any input for me before I order parts?

I have an HK 450 heli kit and I've been toying around with the idea of stretching it. My Trex 450 Pro DFC flies real well the way it is. I don't really want to mess it up. I haven't bought any parts for it yet but I'm still thinking about it.

One thing you will need is a longer boom. I dont know anything about the Dominator so I cant say if it will work.

it be more stable with a longer boom and longer main blades! So good luck with your build

Stretch with bigger blades and longer boom will rob you of power. That big of a disc created more drag, and motor will have to work harder to keep those blades spinning against drag. If you want more stable nimble helicopter, stretch is just what you can do.. But if you are 3s setup, and you stretch, you are going to see slower response times and more sluggish bird. Not always a bad thing. If all you do is putter around and slow rolls and flips and just relax, that's just for you .

If you upgrade to 6s setup also, THAT will make it a power monster. And yes even before the 450L dominator, people out 6s setups in align 450's and those birds were angry!! And tons tons tons of torque

Just good for thought
