Training Gear for 450 Class Helicopter

 sharkey9 792 points

It is light enough to work on a smaller-than-450 size heli.

 sharkey9 792 points

Around 650mm.

 iniazi 4 points

Diameter on mine was 673mm.

If it can handle the additional weight, why not.

The balls come separated, you put first the white stoppers in the carbon rod, put the ball, and then the plastic stopper. The ball is not perforated, you need to do some force to insert the rods. The stoppers will hold the balls in position. Then, you insert the other end of the carbon rod into the round holder and tie up the whole thing to the landing skids. Look at the photo to get the idea. Good luck! target=_blank>

Yea, i think so. I use them in both of my Trex 450. Very good traning gear, good quality.

 Hansc 373 points

Yes I used it on a 450 size heli.

I use them exactly in the Align T-Rex 450 XL. Very lightly and strong, fly good and save your heli in the first flys.

 nesperatu 66 points

compatible and of course I would recommend a very nice kit: D

Yes it fits if you read numbers like 450... Cuz its a 450 class heli.... What class is your trex 450? Must be 500 class right? Omg get out of this hobby.

I use the same on a 450, excellent when learning

 Robert 1 points

yes it will i have the same set up on a thunder tiger mini titan as them and t rex 450 are the same size

 kranthi 2 points

Yes it fits fine on a 450. Make sure you fix the gear with the cable ties even if the training gear fits fine without them. I did that once and the gear came off mid air and I had a bad launch.

 Strussen 208 points

It says it arrives in 21 to 60 days.

 abdulahad100 363 points

I read that in the description. I wanted to know other customers' experiences.

 Strussen 208 points

All right, then I don't know it. You can text the Hobbyking Team, if it's very important.

 Fastiz 20 points

It was on backorder when I order it.
2012-01-11 so 1 month today, still waiting.
hopefully it will arrive soon.

 Rolleros 10 points

Does anyone have any ideas about the time it takes to re-stock these? Is it closer to 21 or 60 days?

 abdulahad100 363 points

I would say it takes around 40 to 45 days

 Fastiz 20 points

I had to wait like 45days. :( The item is a "must have" for me and I have no rush to get it. On my next order I think I will order another one just in case.

I think it doesn't matter if the helis sits flat on the ground or not. The training gear is just to keep your heli from tipping over and this works fine.

 maclin 1 points

Yes it is ment to be flimsy like that, it's so if you helicopter has hard landing the training gear can absorb some of the impact with out breaking, however the center peace of plastic is really fragel and if not supported it will break, so when zip tying the training gear in place keep in mind theat the center also have a zp tie

I use these when testing a new model, I fit them using rubber bands around the skids and they work well like this.

The rods are fiber glass not carbon.

 smoking91awd 9 points

it's just because the carbon it longer, find a shorter carbon rod and shipping will be cheaper. Size of the box makes it soo much.

 Arseny 7 points

attachment site is very weak. broken, had not yet put

 maq007 9 points

Sometimes you just find a deal! Congrats! Maq

Carbon Rods: 330m

 brushless boy 7 points

the rods are carbon fibre they are great for there price and hobbyking is one of the best shops for the cheap prices and amazing qaulity products you can never go rong when you shop at hobbyking these carbon rods are by far the best for anything they can be used for if you ever get rid of your heli i used them on a 500 mfa heli and they were great but got rid of my engine and the heli has sat ever since but im going to use the rods to make a roll bar for one of my trucks as i know it will take the wieght thanks again hobbyking :)

For the center piece, I applied lots and lots of hot glue between the two halves of the center piece and then pressed them realy hard. Now it is strong...

 Fusion 480 points

Hmmm I think you may be assembling the device wrong if you think it has two halves. U slot the rods into either one of the centre holders. You have two, one with six legs or one with four If you are using hot glue i dont think you are using it as designed.

 ANARIT-119 411 points

These are generally suitable on 500 size heli also. I use the same size on 500 size heli. but if you have not bought these. I would suggest that you purchase a training kit which is made for 500 size heli

 Andrew 9 points

the training kit would be to small for your 500 size heli. the hole idea is to have a big landing radus for your heli. and you might find it wont fit the heli landing gear.

 coptor 35 points

I have the same exact item. Bought elsewhere but 100 percent identical. The central hub is a joke! It is the weakest link. It will crack/break very easily. Get either a metal central hub or reinforce it by zip tying a small block of wood under it.

 akshayb 11 points

you can strengthen the middle hub using glass fiber cloth and epoxy a few coats and it will become very strong and sturdy

 Fusion 480 points

I use an Irrigation 4 way connector for the centre peice. Get the 4 way junction drill out to 3mm and your good to go. Just use some tape to secure the legs and it will only break if you go in mega hard. You have 9 spares anyway if you got a 10 pack ! Much cheaper and super easy.
