450 Align Trex 450 Plus Build

[Tony]

I'm a JR/Spektrum guy and will endorse them over Futaba every chance I get.

I have tried the 450 PLUS package with the included Futaba/Align Tx, and I would recommend getting another radio if it is possible. The included 6CH Tx is "plasticy", the knobs and switches are not completely tightened right out of the box, the menus are hard to understand, and the stick tension is very hard.

It does the job of course, no problem, but I would definitely consider getting a Spektrum DX6i instead.

The 450 Plus that I bought was bare bones. I have a DX6i

Should I lock tight the motor screws?...Thanks

 

[coolgabsi]

Yes any metal to metal screw has to be loctited without fail

and yes locktite on all metal to metal incliding the motor screws all with metal to metal,BUT NOT INTO PLASTIC

 

[Tony]

Nope, thread lock will melt plastic. But metal to metal is a must.

On a GP790 Gyro, which way does the tail servo wire plug in?. White (signal wire) towards the 3 wire or away from the 3 wire?...Thanks

 

[Tony]

It should only plug in one way. Either way, match up the light wire to light wire, and dark wire to dark wire. Or, post a picture of your gyro and servo wires and we may be able to match it up better that way.
