Align Trex 450 S Radix 2e Test Flight

[Robsonbest]

What is the pit curve and trottler curve?

[bassax7045]

this video made me sub april 2009 ,couldnt quite understand why you would so this then ,,now a year later im flying a 450 and 500 and understand it can be easily done,,funnie how movies look different once you can fly .

@bassax7045

Yep thats how i goes :) But if i look at the 3DMasters movie's i just know i wont be able to do that :D

The gyro is a must to keep the nose pointed where you want. For a Trex 450S as that one is you are looking at about $995 USD. But that will vary depending on what servos, gyro & radio you use.

[ROBERTOSAFA]

how much does it cost? thanks

[billbom]

is the gyro a must have or does it just give a easyer flight

[Nelthalin]

When you use a Heading Hold Gyro it will hold the tail straight and compensate for wind and other stuff. It will give you a much easier flight.

[charlieechovictor]

how come you loosing rpm just by taking off the heli... battery charged ?

[Nelthalin]

i dont know for sure because its some time ago. It could be that i was not flying on idle up. i know what heli could have had a higher head speed. Because it had a 12T pinion on it with a 3550 kv motor. But i was flying it on low throttle here.

I dont have this one anymore. i now got a 450 SE V2 and a 450 Pro.

[trexranger1]

I use T-rex 500 skids on mine which gives me a somewhat larger footprint to land on for a more stable landing.

[yeogav]

what difference do the Radix blades give over stock 325 woodies? looking good btw

[Nelthalin]

About 1-1,20 in extra flight time. And the heli is solid when you do punch outs.

[indepthscuba]

You nerds!

[Nelthalin]

Very mature.....

[heliman85]

nice heli but not too sure about them skids...

[Nelthalin]

They make the heli more stable when landing. I saved me about 6 times. If i had the normal skids it would have hit the ground. They are very strong.

[crazyryan]

im upgrading mine with carbon fiber just so it can lift more weight with an onboard camera headtracker device from hobby wireless havnt bought it yet but will next spring!!!

[ToCorrectYou]

may i know what is the run time for this 450 battery?

[Nelthalin]

Depends on the Headspeed and blades you use. With those blades (radix) and the 430L motor with 12t set on 80% throttle. I could run 9 min.

My 450sev2 with scorpion 2221-8 V2 and 3000 HS will do only 7 min but it has way more power.

[carpathian010]

Awesome hovering !!!

Respect from Holland.

[serrey390]

I envy you guys. I never really got past the simulator. i did get two real 450s but once built could not fly them. I know nothing about balancing the blades and all that. I wish I could learn =(

[blarggstar]

you should try the blade cx2. it is not a ccpm helicopter and it doesn't take much skill to fly.

[thechoice33]

hey, the way i learnt was actually by crashing, when i had my first heli, i crashed on the first flight, and realised the swash mix wasn't right, now i know throttle curve, swash mix, pitch curve, expo, hh mode and all that, it just takes time, hope that helps.

[crazyryan]

amen to that!

[thechoice33]

thanks.

[fishravioli]

I love radix blades. I recently got them, and I will from now on buy nothing but radix! They are incredibly smooth, but dont have as much pop as align v2 carbons. Slim in profile too.

[Nelthalin]

Yeah they are great. I also have a set of Rotor tech blades now the black yellow ones. They also fly great. But i think Radix is still the best. They can run op to 3400 RPM. Thats sick!!!

[mikiemike102]

very nice much beter good job man. I some how did 3d on my third flight! maybe u can to if you want you can watch some of my videos or i can help you with 3d.

[Nelthalin]

I'm @ fligh 30/40 now :P i'm doing 3D in the sim only. To scary in real life. If you crash there goes 800$ :). But if the weather is goed next yeah i'm gonna try is. Fly high in the sky so you have some time to compensate. And hope for the best :P

[mikiemike102]

Lol not 800$ haha the worst crash could be like 100$ i crashed once before it was 30$ plus when u order parts it comes in 2 to 3 pairs so really ur paying 1 time for about 2 crashes IF you have the right parts.

[Nelthalin]

My radix blades alone kost like 55$ over here. Heli parts are 30-50% cheaper in hong knong and the USA.

But i will be doing 3d. Gonna start with some stall turns and loopings. Then rolls and flips.

[okayplayer31]

radix is the way to go (inverted) !

[Nelthalin]

Ghehe. They are beautiful and super in performance.

But no inverted for me yet. First i have to be able to fly perfectly nose in they we are gonna try flips and rolls.

[brodil1214]

Wow !! very beatiful you make a easy fly!! congratulations for fly with T Rex 450 s , this is a real machine 450 size !! goodbye guy !

[Nelthalin]

thanks this one is a lot easer then a Walkera 04 i had before this one. Its very stable.
