  • Hey Gino, i just heard about this chinese weight modification. Think ill try it on the 450SE...Will i notice a big difference???

  • It will make a difference if you have a weak tail servo. Otherwise, I prefer not using it. I found my tail to be inconsistent. That's when the rate of turn suddenly goes faster after a certain point. You can tune this out, but to be honest, I have nothing to complain about with my oem tail setup.

  • Gino, do you plan to get a trex 450SE V2?

    i'm planning to get a copter X V2 but i want to hear what your saying.

    by the way, is the chinese weight method really good that you will keep doing it in the future?

  • It seems there are changes from the original V1. It has woodies, philips head screws among other things. I also hear occasional complaints about defective parts. So I suspect there are quality issues in some kits.

    However fixing these problems still comes out cheaper than buying a TRex SE V2.

  • good job gino ..i like the same fying style as you do (low and close ) although i can do backwards yet..just ffs

  • Strange. I thought you could dial that down mechanically. Can't throw much if linkage geometry is compromised.

  • Im sure it would work kick ass, But with mine toned down massively as it is, and its still at least as quick as yours, with the mod, I would have serious trouble doing anything but 3D (and Id crash :D ). Flatmate has just brought an HD video camera so ill try get a demo video of my tail to show you it at aprox 60% of how insane it is with full EPA's and rates.

  • I don't see any reason why this mod won't work with any tail setup on the 450. It definitely will put less stress on the tail servo. What I have not tested is the integrity of the tail spinning on higher speeds of high kv motors.

  • Looks good gino, you seriously got your backwards circles sussed! Nice yoyo at the end :P tail looks really locked, Be really interesting for someone to try this mod with a JR770 and a big servo like a 9650, I would but I dont think I would be able to fly it!

  • And I am envious of your high altitude flyouts and aerobatics. I guess we just just chose to learn different parts of the skills spectrum.
