I purchased this product and measured by myself because it arrived. The radius of this leveller was 26.5 millimeters.The radius suited the swash plate of Hurricane550.

No you can't use this for a 450 Heli, its for the bigger helis with 8mm shafts. Use PRODUCT ID: SWLTP-450 for 450 heli, which is made for 450 helis

 Ram Kiran 153 points

oh sorry SWLTP-450 is for align pro, will not fit for ur heli. Instead U can Use PRODUCT ID: S610A

Hi Tai, u need 5mm swashplate leveller instead of this. 8mm mostly for 500 heli.

 fortin 8 points

no, this is for a heli with a 8mm main shaft, the 450 have, correct my if not, a 5mm shaft.

 Pang 165 points

Yes, 450 heli mostly on 5mm. some heli like PROTOS with 6mm which is rare..

I got one of each size recently, I think last month. They come into stock regular enough but are sucked up pretty quickly. Put it on an e mail reminder for when stock arrives and you should get one soon

Thanks 'ragamofyn', you are correct, I just checked. They should say that in the description. I'm going to get one for my bog standard HK-500. Can someone explain exactly how to use this thing - perhaps a link to a thread on the forums here or HeliFreak or RC Groups. I can't see how to put it on shaft without pulling the head to pieces, which kind of defeats the purpose!?

 ragamofyn 254 points

Hey Bill. You'll have to pull apart your head, I'm afraid. The tool's purpose is to help you adjust your servo-to-swashplate ball links so that the swashplate is exactly level. My suggestion is to take off the main gear, pull out the head, and drop in a spare main shaft. Then slide the tool down the shaft so that the three "legs" sit on the top of each ball-link. When your swashplate is perfectly level, the legs will be in contact with each ball-link. Once that's done, re-place the head and main gear and your swashplate will be perfectly level. Cheers, Victor.

Go FBL and you'll never have to bother with head interactions again *-)AND you get longer flights to boot

It's not that bad to pop of the ead and use this little tool OK it's normaly three links and a jesus bolt or somtimes two and then slip it out of the gear set*admitadly on a nitro bird it's a little more effort but hey the benafits of loosing that skirmy interaction when you punch it up into the wild blue yonder is great believe me,like flipping it over and watching it track upside down stright as an arrow "fantastic to watch"

if you go through the hand tools menu you will find there is a silver one, a blue one and a HK450 pro one. All of them are for a 5mm shaft and will work but the silver one and maybe the blue one on a alloy swash plate needs to be trimmed on the inside with a sharp knife so that it doesn't touch the balls. Hope you like
