Originally posted by ridgerunner View Post9 packs through my AS-350 so far today (I've lost track of the flight count, but have over an hour and a half airtime on the "odometer" timer in my Taranis). After a few more packs this evening, it will be time to move on and start focusing on setting up the 450 Airwolf!

Hi ridgerunner, what head speeds are you running with this? I am installing a HobbyWing 60A V4 Esc in mine though, I have one in my Trex 470LP and love it. Thanks

You can find the Sport V1 Align manual (listed as: "TREX 450 SPORT FB Super Combo") on this page of Align manuals provided by enterprise hobbies:

What size is the motor shaft, 3.17? I found one, as I would like to put one on mine as well, but didn't want to purchase it yet until I new the shaft size. Thanks:Cool:
Ridgerunner, thanks for the correction on the mechanics, my mistake.

Were the STL files for the 3DPUP parts Alpha mentioned ever made available?
Thanks!

Hi Chief58D, as you requested, attached are the adjusted files for the AS350. The LED mounts are now affixed with screws instead of glue.
If you had any questions about specific 3DPUP files, where they go, or how they're attached, just post and one of us can chime in. I titled the files with a prefix that states which general area, then you can cross reference these photos to confirm the exact location.
The LEDs install very simply. More detail in one of my earlier posts on Page 1. Now, both belly LEDs and the Searchlight are screw-on, and the searchlight is also adjustable for angle.
Motion RC is pleased to announce our release of the RotorScale AS350 Alpine Yellow and Red 450 Size Helicopter. This is the official message thread to post photos,
I'm still working on the exhaust and static winch.

So I disassembled the blade grips and greased them and I still have a lot of play in the blade grips so bad that I can't get zero pitch correctly with my Brain2, are you guys experiencing the same problems and if so how are you correcting this? Out at the blade tips its exaggerated and have 15mm where I can move the blade tip up from where it's resting. Pulling them horizontally its good, but I can move the grip left/right, up/down, when looking into the blade grip where the screw is it looks like the housing where the bearings are is too big for the bearings and can see a gap all around when moving it.

Try here - I use them for all my Tarot needs. Excellent service, reliable delivery and I have never known them to be out of stock of any part that I have ordered. Been using them for a few years now - all genuine Tarot parts.
The play that you have described is excessive and unacceptable......... it most certainly is not 'normal', despite what you have been told!

Originally posted by Cyclone 7 View PostSounds almost as if they are mismatched components - grips often have one larger and one smaller diameter main bearing. Perhaps you have a smaller bearing where the larger ought to be?

Any luck on the exhaust?
