Well, I'm starting a thread on this site for Tommy's (TR911) head comparison for the 500 size helicopters . . . I'm still the first and only to post at the other place . . . and now I'm the first to post here :p . . . (That's gotta be worth something!)

1: Leveling heli with my IPod and "EZ Level+" app
2: Low Stick / Flybar
3: Low Stick / Main Blade
4: Mid Stick / Flybar
5: Mid Stick / Main Blade
6: High Stick / Flybar
7: High Stick / Main Blade

I use a "String" Level on the Flybar and one in the blade holder.

I'm set for 10 degrees pos/neg maximum pitch

My servo to swash control rods are a bit thicker. I mistakenly grabbed a pack of Trex 600 rods from the LHS. They were the only ones in the pack the same length as the 500's, but thicker/beefier . . . I kind of like that :)

( :yuck: Camera was not level, have to use my photo editor to level the pics :yuck: )

Well, I didn't want to post mine until the tracking in the air was perfect. That way the pics would be accurate. So much for that idea lmao
 
Nope, the blades are the standard copterx 425mm black blades. The brite spot on the end of a couple of the pictures was my little bubble level

I mean the shots when your under the blade . . . the linkage reflects in the blade like in a mirror :)
 
They are great blades Frank. Mine where balanced out of the bag and only $19 a pair. Shame they look like this now :(
