[heli-maniac]

just got My new Heli ALIGN450 PRO 3GX
going to start the build but still waiting on a few parts to get here for it

 

[Lee]

Nice, Lets see loads of build pics. I want t know your thoughts on it, as i might pick one up later in the summer.

 

[murankar]

Pics please and have fun with the build.

 

[heli-maniac]

rotor head is assembled

 

[heli-maniac]

got a little bit more done

 

[Tony]

That thing is looking good bro! Great Job!

 

[heli-maniac]

thanks Tony now if the rest of my parts will get here i can get some more done on it

 

[murankar]

Looking good. A lot better looking than the EXI for sure. I wish I had the cash for the Align right off the bat. Only problem is that it would have cost me more to learn to fly. Anyhow good job keep it up.

 

[heli-maniac]

got most of the wires in still waiting on the elv. servo and motor

 

[coolgabsi]

you' see night and day in the way this will fly compared to your other birds.. This looks awesome man!! good job! keep the pics and vidsd coming!

 

[Tony]

I must be out of the game a little. Since when are they using a collet on the main shaft? Otherwise looking great!

 

[heli-maniac]

thats a sport shaft its just to align the main blocks not the one going on it

 

[Tony]

Oh okay lol. I was like WTH lol.

 

[coolgabsi]

Yeah those are great cause you can adjust your length If there is any slop

I use them too

 

[heli-maniac]

ok so this 3g flybarless system is a pain to set up but i hope it all works out
got all the parts in for it and going to do more mock ups to see if its all going to fit

 

[heli-maniac]

checked the cg with my 2650 sky lipo and its too nose heavy but is died on with a 2200
so what to do add to the tail for the 2650 lipos

 

[Tony]

Very nice. I really like that canopy. So when can we expect a maiden flight video?

 

[Tony]

CoG is not as big of a deal on helicopters as it is on planes. As long as it's not a drastic difference, I would see how she flies.

 

[heli-maniac]

thats the one off the HK450gt that i had
i was hopping today would be good but the wind is way to high for me to even think of trying with it needing a few more adj. but i got to get it in the air for that
heck i still have not even tried out the other pro yet lol got this one and thats all i have done since

and got to add some wait to the tail for the lipos i want to use
with every thing already in the center of the heli going to be hard to hide what ever i use

 

[heli-maniac]

well its so nose heave with the 2650 lipo it will stand on its nose i just ordered some metal tail parts will see if that will work
