Align Trex250 Super Combo - Pilot ~ Ian Contessa

Here is a new video of my Trex250 at the local indoor meet. Really love this model, as I do all my Align's but this one is another one of those models you can take anywhere and have a fly with.
Surprisingly it also copes well outside in winds that would scare a larger machine.
Model is stock out the box except for a JR DS380G tail servo, cut down tail blades and Align 205D's to give it a bit more cyclic response over the plastic blades.
Battery is the newly released Overlander Extreme 800mah 35C pack, only the second flight with this brand new pack.
Only thing to say other than enjoy the video is that the camera batteries died before end of flight.

Hey. Is it built and flying yet dude? I did find it a quick build considering it's size. Ian

I ordered the battery you recommend, it's out of stock at the moment, I ordered a extreme v2 battery as well the other battery should be here hopefully soon.

Hey Matey. They are good batterys and give good cycle life as well which is important. Slightly lower capacity than the Align packs at only 800mah but still capable of decent flight time. Ian

I have just bought one from fast lad performance, should be here by friday, I saw this vid and thought, I want one! I will use the align servos for cyclicks (DS210) and the JR DS380g for tail, I will also use my gy401 for gyro and ar6100 reciver, which battery do you recommend, I have not got that yet, thanks.

Hey Matey. LOL, you're gonna have more models than me soon ;-) For batterys, apart from the Align packs which work well, I'm also using some OverLander Extreme 35C 800mah 3s packs. These give a good power increase and their not expensive either. Only problem is you got to solder on your own connector, I'm still using the 2 pin JST's with no problems. Will email you the link.

Have you seen the new trex 450? Looks cool, looks like a mini trex 500 :)

Hi, I have just done a vid on my trex 250, watch it here, watch?v=jih5pox4RV4&fmt=22

[thechoice33]

I'm building right now, should be ready by saturday (tomorrow) make sure to watch my unboxing vid, thanks.

[thechoice33]

Thanks, my 250 just come today, I have done an unboxing and should be up in about 5 or 6 hours time.

Thanks, he he, yeah, I had to sell all my DS games and my bose sounddock on ebay to get this heli, I can't really afford it, but o'well I just loved the look of it so much, I sold my 450 like 3 weeks ago for £200 I kept the gyro, receiver, and transmitter, I still have my 500, the 500 is great but can sometimes be just be a little to big for some areas, thats why I wanted the 250, by the way, have you seen the new trex 450 pro, it looks like a mini version of the 500, the frame is the same.
