Sounds like a plan. What about my pitch curve and Expo? I was wondering if my transmitter settings will interfere/limit the iKon settings. Again, iKon doesn't seem to go into detail about transmitter pitch settings. I'm not an aggressive flyer and I'm not ready for 3D maneuvers. If I...

Hi guys, I just setup my 450 with the micro iKon and everything is looking good. It looks/acts like its big brother. My question is regarding throttle/pitch curves on the transmitter. I'm thinking that my throttle curves should be set to 30-60-100 (I elected to not use the governor) but...

thanks Slobberdog, but I'm off 1.5 degrees on one side and can't figure out why. I used a swashplate leveler and the swashplate is level throughout the entire stick movement. I put the blades on and gave her a spin this morning. Got it up to about 1000 rpms no vibrations but she started to...

How did you make out with your blades? Are they zero at mid-stick?

FYI UPDATE: I'm really starting to dislike this DFC upgrade. The plastic ball linkages are horrible, threading them is stressful. I got everything assembled and now I can't get my blades leveled. One side is 3 degrees higher than the other! Why did I do this upgrade? I had my original head...

I think I know what your talking about because I experienced the same thing when I was building my Trex-450. I'd move the stick up, swashplate would go up, yet my blades produced negative pitch (leading edge points down). My problem was that my main rotor holders were connected incorrectly...

UPDATE: I think these DFC linkage rods are defective. I tried screwing one of my older Align linkage rods into the DFC ball links and they screwed in just fine. I emailed A Main Hobbies, the greatest online hobby store in the world, and they ONCE AGAIN came through for me. They sent out a...

Anyone have some advice for screwing in plastic ball links into linkage rods? I'm lost and frustrated. I've tried clockwise/counter-clockwise. I'm read to take a drill to these crappy things!!!

Do I simply stick them right on top of the blades or is there a particular location/position that makes tracking easier Thanks!

Hey guys, Quick question, what are the shiny small square Align stickers that come with the main rotor blades? I just noticed that my T-450 Pro V2 came with these stickers and I'm not sure where to place them. I wonder if there for blade tracking. They can't be for weight because there way to...

I'm curious if any Trex 450 owners out there have upgraded to the 450DFC Main Rotor Head. I have a Trex-450 Pro V2 and I recently bent my main shaft. Since I'm replacing the main shaft, I'm wondering if I should simply upgrade the entire head unit? Is it a worthy investment? Thoughts? Thanks...

FYI. My trex-450 main gear = 121T Pinion = 12T 121/12=10.08

Wow! That would have taken me a while to figure out. Thanks guys, again, a HUGE help!!

Confirmed. 6 poles! What should I set for ratios & how did you get that information? Thanks again!!

Great suggestion, thank you! I'll give it a shot after work.

Great question; unfortunately, it's one I don't have an answer too. The instruction that came with the tm1000 are pretty straight forward. I didn't see any tweaking options.

Happy Friday Everyone!! I've been tinkering with my new TM1000 freshly installed into my Trex-450 and somethings not right with the rpm sensor. First, my heli is on the bench (blades off) and I have linear curves for throttle/pitch on my DX8. I spool her up and with less than 25%...

I was under the impression that DSMX is a worthy investment if your flying in large groups at the same time (ex: competitions). The average flier won't need to worry about interference.

Hey Tony, I quickly browsed thru the TM1000 and the DX8 manual. There's no reference to using satellites only. Why? Is it something Spektrum does not recommend doing? I was under the impression that you need the TM1000 to be hooked up to a receiver like the AR8000 because the Align 3GX...

Hi all! I'm Ernie (in Connecticut), and I'm still fairly new to the RC world. I currently own a McPx and an Align Trex-450 pro v2 3gx. I just recently finished the 450 build and I'm sure I'll need a lot of advice. Rc-Help has proven usful in many ways and will continue too in the near...
