TREX 450 inside a KDS Hughes MD500 Scale Fuselage

Well just to prove one of my collections actually flies there it is. I use a dual skys 40amp ESC, Hitec HS65MG sevros and for tail use a HS81, motor is an Eflite 4200KV from a blade 400. use 2 X Turnigy 2200 batteries, yes its a little heavy but i can get around 10mins of hovering and 12-15mins flight as long as there is no wind, receiver is an AR6200 has a genuine trex head assembly and frame is a HK450. It is very hard to keep steady in any wind, i use only 30% swash mix and 10% expo on the swash control to smooth it out and 5% on the rudder so it doesn't behave like a 3d model. it tends to go into forward flight and stay there and same in reverse so it handles more like a proper scale setup to some extent, but hey it was a fun build reasonably cheap and it flies ! anyway that's all.

i get same times with 1 3000 mah turnigy 20/30c lipo

so this rig with 4400mah seems not very efficient ,,glad your esc can pull it off and doesnt smoke out

@bassax7045 - You have the same setup in a MD500 fuselage ?? the air flow is considerably different to pod and boom, the weight is a lot more and teh head speed I run is probably a lot higher than I would normally run on a trex 450, the motor in this is actually quite efficient but the loss of lift from the fuselage being in the way is the only reaosn i use the larger batteries, and I only run them down to no less than 30% of teh charge, what is your setup ?

cheers

@geekpeptalk long screw driver through the top windows near the main rotor

How did you get the back screws in to hold down the heli body inside the md500 kit?

HY, I HAVE 1 ALSO YOU NEED TO RUN 1 BATTERY, 3,5,10 PITCH,MOTOR GEAR 10 OR 11 T,LOWER HEAD SPEED,JOES MD 500 EARLY FLIGHT,ENJOY
