I am extremely unhappy with the manner I ended up leaving my wires. I would like to redo the whole thing.......any suggestions of where I could look and find precise suggestions for the Align 450 Plus? Maybe a thread with pictures or a detailed video? Tks.
Hi Lambar, I did mine this way:
Align trex 450 pro complete build video (freddy can fly) - YouTube. The only problem I have found is that you need to make sure before you CA under the bearing frame is that you properly flatten the wires to allow enough so they are not tight going into the 3GX.Minimum amount of CA as well to enable you to remove

I did mine the same way, it left the build super clean with no wires at all on the outside of the frame.Hi Lambar, I did mine this way:

Oh my OCD. i fitted the gyro on top just because i thought that it would be easier for programming and my rx is where you have your gyro. you just have to make sure you bind the rx before installing because its nearly impossible to get to once assembled.
One of the advantages of this method is that one side of the frame can easily be removed for maintenance/repair.

I know Tony did an awesome wiring job on the Trex450, but I moved the gyro up top after buying it from him and changed the wires around. He might have some pictures of how he did it or be able to explain it better.

As Danhampson has said I too put my gyro on top nearly all the wires the go under the platform and I do think its easier to program as you are not turning the heli over all the time to see what is on the gyro, here's a couple of pics of mine just for you to see how it looks.
I also put my motor wires outside so they are easier to disconnect

What does Freddie use to create the magnet look to secure the ESC wiring above the servo?
Also, where did he add in this video his Rx and how do those wires travel up to the 3gx?
Tks.

he doesnot use a rx he uses sats instead.

he drills some holes in the battery plate to secure the esc then uses some cable ties (zip ties) to secure it.
i built mine the same was apart from running the tail servo a differnt way.
ive got to take mine to bits so i'll post some pictures as i rebuild on the crash thread (Another successful rotavator conversion).

Great. Where will I put mine then? Underneath? Will it fit?

Align in thier instructions have put if you have a fault with an esc and they see signs of zip tying they will not honour warranty

i crashed mine way before the warranty ran out.
Its the nature of the hobby (i hate that quote).

Have a look at my video series. I show up close how I ran my wires.
