H-king Turning Trix MX2 1920mm EP 3D build thread

Distance between firewall and leading edge of the cowling is around 146mm:



This is a lot for an electric motor. HK proposes the RotoMax 1.60, which has a length of just 58mm.

Great thread and pictures - well done. Just bought one and have a couple of questions...

a) Whilst one stab has a hole for the elevator servo - the other has a blank wooden plate over the hole as if only one servo were needed??? - I assume you put one in each stabiliser for each elevator side - if not how could you get the other side to work - did you cut the plate away - and fit a second servo in the other stabiliser - its not obvious.
b) Using the Turnigy 1.4 Rotomax which is about 8cm short of the cowl opening (definately NOT plug and play as suggested!) - interested to see your mount and know if you get any vibrations.
c) If you dont put a push pull in - and since they dont give you one I assume they dont think you need one - where on earth do you put the rudder sero - cannot find a slot anywhere Thought your solution was a good one.

I am putting bigger wheels on - 3 inch - as running off long grass and am forgetting about the spats as they fill with the stuff.
Let us all know where you end up with the C of G .

Thanks for the thread

Thank you for the detailed build log the pics r great The trix is now at the top of my wish list Thanks Again :}

To find the right positions for the fixing holes for the cowling, I used cardboard straps (tip of a Sebart manual):



After aligning the cowling with the spinner, I can drill the holes:

Here is a view on the carbon tubes from the backside:



I don't know if it's neccessary or helps anything, but at least it will calm down my nerves.

This and some epoxy at battery tray and motor mount adds 25g to my MX2.
