  1. Yep know the logic but means further to fall. Lol
  2. Yeah will do Danny, and yeah I know what you mean Leon, but I reckon if I can fly this sucker upside down inside out then I won't get the change of undercrackers like I need now with flying the 500 more then 10ft above the ground.
  3. Hahaha, gotta love the little beastie... thing is I can fly this little monster far better then I can my 450 or 500, nerves are a wonder thing......NOT.
  4. hi all, Thought i would share with you this little gem of a find.... http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/xtreme_productions_carbon_fibre_frame_130x_b130x26-p-23267.html had to order one and see...... and wow what an improvement in build quality, complete with all the screws needed, so didnt even have to strip the original for them. havent put everything together as yet but xtreme have really thought about the common problems from the standard one, 1st you now have a alloy motor mount that can slide inside the frame allowing a perfect gear mesh, 2nd you now have plates over the mainshaft bearings so you no longer need to split the frame to access them 3rd, the front servo board slots in at the bottom and held by 2 screws at the top, even provided are washers to hold servo board away from bevel gear, no more burnt out fets and again no need to split frame, 4th, cyclic are now inside frame giving more protection, 5th, canopy mounting hole is slightly further forward, giving more room inside the canopy for the lipo. will build soon but waiting on a auto rotation maingear 1st, but i thought i would share this with all you 130x owners, well done xtreme for not trying to rip us off with just bling and actually listening to the common probs with the standard frame
  5. the tail spins rd, have u got it in rate mode or head buddy?. If u put the settings from the 450 in I think it tells u to use f-flite switch. U need to set 1 to around 70% and below that around 40% try the rudder ifv u release the stick and it stays there that's what u fly with but if you release the rudder and it returns the the middle u need to flick f-flite switch. That's why its spinning because tail has nothing to fight against if its returning to center of slider.
  6. Yes eventually you will change the pitch and throttle curves, put dx6i at 50%, remember to unplug the motor from the esc very important, and set and adjust your blades to 0% on the gauge, all being well at bottom stick should have around -12% and top stick +12. But this is where it gets more complicated, you wont want this for normal flying because what it means if if you panic your reaction is to drop the throttle this will then mean you put -12% on it and drive it into the ground. matching your curves is simple enough, you want to get the best from your motor, its no good trying to take off if your motor is only 25% spin and you blades are +pitch, its all about wind resistance against the blades, that's why you need to match curves. likewise if the motors spinning at 100% and your still in - pitch all your doing is draining your battery, but as a after thought you need a high head speed for the gyro to work and hold the tail.
  7. only been flying for about a month so be kind pls as its a 130x in a confined space......
  8. Thanks guys, the story goes like this, I picked up a fbl one. Cheap no 3gx or beastx etc. that's meant to be all she needs, I'm fairly new to it all but I can fly a 130x in circuits with the occasional crash if I pyro the tail. Lol the 450 has some parts I don't like I.e blue tail boom, blue skids etc. and could do with a modern canopy.... I chose it for 2 reasons 1 cheap........
  9. Haha no it not a trick question, I just wondered as I bought a 450 sport v2 but it needs some parts and if I type in that model on places like fleabay it doesn't really return any results. soo that's why I asked as I know its an older model so I thought the parts may be hard to come by, when you say parts are interchangable does that mean with any trex 450 model?. If so what's the diff between sport, pro, v2 etc.
  10. Hi everyone, just wondering where I can get parts for a trex 450 sport. or what parts are interchangable. I.e tail boom, side plates etc. any help pls
  11. SOLD.....SOLD......SOLD.
