So your going to make a $500 130x? Don't forget to document the progress.

Sent from my LG-E980 using Forum Runner

I will have about the same money in it as I do in the Boca Bearings 130x with its upgrades
its a wash between the servos and FBL verses the servos and the 3n1
I will be posting everything on it parts will be rolling in for the next few weeks for it
Biggest wait is the frame had to order it from Rakon them self . Could not find one in the US at all

[heli-maniac]

Hi Jesse looking forward to your build. Is this your version of the Align 150

Hi Jesse looking forward to your build. Is this your version of the Align 150

No this is a stretched 130x to a true 150mm blades and rotary servos and a full FBL unit
A trex 150 is a lot smaller than even a 130x

 

[heli-maniac]

Got the Rakon frame in Time to start building

 

[EyeStation]

Without any size reference, that thing looks like a tank. In a good way!

 

[heli-maniac]

took it out of the case to find out its the wrong frame this one is for a redbull 130x not the same as a 130x

 

[heli-maniac]

Got the frame problem Handled hope ill have the new one by Saturday
Got home today and got some more parts in
Lynx tail servo Lynx tail blade grips Lynx tail slider RKH canopy mounts and RKH swash plate tool

 

[heli-maniac]

Started putting the tail stuff together
Went from 29mm tail blades to 33mm blades

 

[pvolcko]

heh. Going to have to be careful on the tail strikes. looking nice though!

 

[heli-maniac]

Yep
But I have the Xtreme skids and they are taller then my Lynx skids so it should raise it up so it dose not hit
And if i have to the Xtreme skids are drilled in the front to raise the tail even more

The wrong frame was sent back and after talking with Rakon and seeing were that frame was sent from 35 miles away from me
And got to email them they mailed out the new frame on Thursday so should of gotten it on Friday or Today at the latest
So I didnt get it yesterday and I checked the tracking this morning and the tracking showed it to have went to Arkansas. WTF
So I emailed the place that sent it and I drove 35 miles across town and met with them to pick up a frame thats good
Bad thing is they didnt have the silver frame only red or gold . Well I want to start putting this thing together so I took the red frame.

 

[heli-maniac]

Went over all the screw and thread locked them and installed the landing gear
Now its time to start fitting the elcs. This should be fun fitting all that in this little tiny frame

 

[heli-maniac]

Mounted the spin 8000 in the frame Now time to work on fitting the FBL unit

 

[heli-maniac]

Had to make a mount to put the FBL unit on Heres what I got so far

 

[heli-maniac]

Mocked up the tail boom and servos to check the wiring to see what needs to be shortened
