T-rex 450 Sport Build 7 of 7 Tail wag in test flight fixed.wmv

I do like this heli now its wag less, but Align is definitely cutting corners on build quality.
My concerns are: why Align has decided to eliminate the Tail boom clamp mount for a plastic push fit design which clearly doesn't do the job fixing securely in position the tail boom. I've had to devise a clamp to hold mine in position.
Would I buy another Align Heli, YES OF COUSE I WOULD, but not the Super Sport Combo because of the stock GP780 Gyro and the Stock DS420 Servo.

Damn that's a 60 dollar servo and 150 for gyro. That's a lot of dough to drop on my cheep hk clone! My plan was to replace parts I break with align parts, because my heli budget is microscopic. So I must ask, how well will this gyro do when forced into concrete from 200 feet? I know I can rebuild the servo but I want to use whatever gyro I choose on several helicopters to save money. Also I really want to end up with a 600 size fly bar less one day. So do I skip all this and save for a micro b

@Dannysrc .Well…. I’ve had many crashes and I’ve destroyed everything more than once, but never damaged the gyro maybe I’m lucky, so in regards to what gyro you should purchase all I can advise is your heli’s weakest point will always be the cheapest part and/or the pilot.

Good video and great comments! My conclusion is to save and get that gyro and servo for myself. I am new to helicopters and watching videos like this and reading your comments helps accelerate my learning curve tremendously. Your heli IS rock solid.

@wretchedmaniam The new mount definitely resolved 98% of the problem for me, apparently the GP780 really really does not like vibrations. :)

@abcd123443211 that’s great news man..... I also positioned the gyro at the front of the heli, although i found it to reduce T wag significantly, unfortunately i also found the heli to be less responsive for 3D flying, I couldn’t live with it, theses heli's should be rock solid.

Thanks for posting your improvements
