Converted my Trex 500 with an Align Airwolf fuse. This is the 1st test run in the new fuse. It was during a very windy day and I had problems trying to keep it steady. The weight different is something you can certainly feel.

  • It was pretty easy. I had to grind away some of the top area so that the swash links wouldn't touch. Other than that, it was pretty easy...a nice fit.

    Be careful not to over tighten the plastic landing gear arms that connect to the servo, they crack easily. I glued mine so any rough landings won't fold the wheels up and cause problems.

  • You are so right about the plastic u/c arms! I am struggling to get the u/c to retract all the way... I can't se from your video... do the wheels protrude slightly??? Thanks for you help and advice... it is really appreciated!

  • I can get my front ones to go all the way up but the rear ones don't go all the way up. A small portion of it does hang out...this was after multiple adjustments. There just seems to be too much play to get it just right.

  • Great stuff, did you have to move the tail servo ? 5*

  • Thanks. No, didn't have to move the tail servo. It is located in the belly section just before the bottom folds into the tail section so it fits great.

  • il est beau en bleu...

  • So nice to see a vid of a t-rex Airwolf WITHOUT the cheesey Airwolf music playing. Quality vid

  • Thanks for that, I have a very similar problem... Spent two days on and off trying to sort it out... what a pain! As a matter of interest, I enquired about spare undercarriage parts as I agree with you... the plastic bits that go onto the carbon rods are useless... they strip almost immediately so you have to glue them in place... Turns out Align do not provide ANY spares for these fuselages at present...

  • Hi,

    Have just bought the airwolf fuse for my Trex 500. Was it easy to install??

  • I love my airwolf,anad you should to!
