The HK450 is started. My brother is putting it together with a few tips from me. I want to get him into this addiction ;D Sorry,no progress pix.Kinda got caught up and forgot the pix. Here's a look as it sits now. I'm torn on trying to make it cheap or make it fly the best  Cheap is losing the tug of war btw. Just installed a Hitec 5065 Digi tail servo,an Ar6100E Spektrum RX,and an Align RCE550 HH gyro.  |

Looks good Ern. Don't go cheap if you want him to become hooked. Needs to fly good so it can suck him in all the way.  Dave |

I hope you have better luck with those Towerpros than I did!
I also hope your tail stays put. I'm beginning to think that a 9t pinion may be what is needed with a 3500kv motor on plastic tails. Or maybe a slower motor...
Looks like a fun build!

fireheli, i'm not sure if this's already addressed but it looks like your skid is installed backward. just flip it around. haha |

I didn't even notice the skid thing when I looked earlier, good spotting!!
About the Towerpros, I am having no issues with any static or them failing on me. Got maybe 15-17 flights on it I think and a crash and they still go fine. Actually the crash really surprised me in that I only bent a tail boom on my T-rex, it was a pretty good hit too!! Anyway, back to the topic, if you don't try to fly the towerpros hard then they are ok as a starter servo, but I am going to upgrade to Hitecs when they die and I get better at flying. When you crash while learning then they are cheaper to replace than a $30 Hitec thats for sure!!
