Nice! Can't wait to get this airbourne. I might add more magnets to the canopy, just belt and braces, but it seems to hold quite tight.

Ich bin super zufrieden mit der Qualitt des Bausatzes.

Fr den Preis htte ich ganz ehrlich nicht einen so guten Rumpf erwartet, ihr knnt ja mal Bilder vom Align Rumpf und dessen Verpackung mit dem hier kuflichen Rumpf und der Verpackung vergleichen, die Labeln die Verpackung nur um und nehmen das doppelte an Geld.

Die 450er V2 Mechanik hat ohne weitere Anpassungen auf Anhieb in den Rumpf gepasst, ein Augenmerk sollte man jedoch auf die Holzbcke welche an die Mechanik geschraubt werden, legen. Ich musste die Blcke bei mir nachkleben, da die bereits beim Einbau auseinander fielen, was dieses im Flug bedeutet kann sich ja jeder selber ausmalen.

Das Heckleitwerk wird an den Bohrungen des Heckrotorgehueses befestigt und mit einer Schraube am Heckrohr des Rumpfes, ich habe bei mir ein kleines Stck 4mm Balsaholz von innen eingeharzt, ansonsten wird die Schraube im Rumpf nicht halten, da das GFK sofort ausreit.

Bauzeit war bei mir ca. 8 Stunden aber dann mit Beleuchtung, als Drehzahl kann ich beim Paddler ab 2300 Undrehungen aufwrts empfehlen.

Fazit: uerst zufrieden mit dem Rumpf.

Not really fitting for the pro version. Needs a lot of modification to fit. Difficult to access the FBL controler after installation into the fuselage. For older 450 versions with flybar it is ok.
Quality is average, I think there are some better fuselages for a few bucks more, IMHO.

Yes! I just received this fuse. In all honesty, This thing is GREAT!! Yea, you may need to do some tweeking to get it to fit in Certain frames but, Well worth it! I'm going to stuff whats called a Rotoworkz G4 frame into it. if it proves too difficult then, i will use a Trex 450 pro in it but, Can't say enough for this little fuse, Worth the 50 bucks! Well Packaged as well. just about everything you get now a days, requires a bit of work in addition to any normal work needed to complete the job. Its so much better when you have gotten something, worth working with. Very happy with it and i will be flying the 5 blade head from HK, on it. That was another little Jem! Good stuff Hobby king!!

I used this with an Align T-rex 450 Plus DFC. The fitting was quite OK, but I had to do a few minor modifications. The DFC has the servos quite high and I had to make a hole in the fuselage for the servo to hit properly. I had some problems with vibrations in the fuselage, but higher headspeed solved that... Unfortunately I had a brownout on maiden flight so no more fuselage. :(

Very light. Paintwork around front windows is average. Distortions in the clear front windows.(inferior grade of vacuformed plastic.) Fuselage is indeed fiberglass. The fit to a t-rex clone is perfect. Landing gear is plastic, I haven't broken it yet, but the plastic is not fiber reinforced. Looks magnificent in the air, Try to use a five blade rotor head (sold here CHEAP) as that REALLY adds to the scale look. I am not unhappy with this purchase, just don't expect perfection. Decent value.
