Recorded, the building of the CopterX and increased the speed.

Took about 9 hours to build, that was because I took out all the critical screws and loctite'd them, sanded down the edges of the CF frame so that they were smooth, and fabricated servo mount nuts. Everything else was pretty much straight forward. CCPM and program setup was a breeze with the DX7, took maybe 20 minutes.

  • nice...i was just worried about being able to get spare parts right away from a LHS in cases just one part breaks. ...for sure my next build though, any recommendations?

  • Ya, anything that's compatible with the Trex450 is a good bet.

    Your next build? Should be the exceed BlueRay 450PE. Why? Because it's a Trex 450SE V2 clone, so you wouldn't have a problem finding parts for it, and most of the screws are HEX, not phillips which strips like mad when you try to "build" it.  If the hex work as well as the align's, it'll be a smooth and pleasant heli to fly and build. If they strip however, it'll be nothing but headaches.

    It looks promising.

  • these models are the trex clones right? if so can you replace broken parts say in the head with align parts or are they not interchangeable.  would i have to replace the whole head to use align part?

  • You betcha top dolla!! The CopterX 450 SEV2 can use each and every single part of the Trex 450 SEV2! But why would you? The trex main hub costs as much as an entire copter head assembly, and they're virtually the same thing, the metal is a little softer, but you can still crash a bunch without having to replace too much, so in the long run you'll spend less on the copter parts. Clones are the way to do it, since the days of cyrix.

  • Hey what motor did ya sue?

  • Sorry, totally missed that question. I used the Align 430XL at first and now I use the Scorpion 2221-6V2, it's a lot of power, but poor battery life, 2-3 min flights! But plenty of power. I would rather fly with the power for 3 mins, than with the 430XL for 6 minutes though. Gives you that adrenaline rush! Who doesn't want that?
