Hey guys,
A question, I know how to set the blade tension on a 450, but on the 600 I assume the tail blades are fairly loose like the 450, but the main blades should be how much tighter than on a 450?
I have read where on a 700 its pretty tight but not sure how reliable that info was.
And I see where a lot of guys remove the blades when transporting so do you not use locktite on the main blades?
The little details is what I struggle finding out, the stuff you experienced guys don't have to even think about because its routine.
I haven't found this talked about anywhere here yet and thought it was worth asking, not just for me but for others starting out.
Also, to recap, I have a Align Trex 600 ESP with a DX8, I owned an Align 450 Plus RTF before this, and it had one battery to plug in.
My 600 of course has 2 The esc to motor and the main power from the little battery for the electronics with the switch.
What is the proper sequence after turning on the TX? Want to make sure I do it correctly.
Everything is ready I think, I purchased a heavy duty practice gear as I had on my 450 from a guy in cali.
I like it because if something is wrong and it starts spinning like a top there is no damage and you can shut it off.
The cheap gear isn't anywhere near as good. I can give a link if any new guys are interested he sells it on ebay for different size heli's.
Thanks!
Jeff
