P.S. Got my Align 450 Sport V2 Heli, and I get to put it together!
P.P.S. Jim, the heli guys have some fine VIDEO tutorials on building the birds, you might consider making videos!

Cool for your T-Rex… :wink:

Eric,

All very nice!

After I get my T-REX 450 up and flying, I’ll get a chance to check out your stuff!

Will you make it available on myrcbuild? Is that the right one/

Alan KM6VV

Well… things don’t go on the website fast… lol
We sell them on demand… :wink:

Make me one to use with my 9DOF IMU! Maybe I can put it on my '450.

Alan KM6VV

Some new vidz… :wink:

OOOH! Pretty lights!

Plan on night flying?

Alan KM6VV

I have already try night flight… :wink:
Real cool.

But even in daylight it’s easier to know which way you are with lights.
Red - Back
Blue - Frong
Green - sides

That’s a good idea!

I should add a tail light to my '450 so that I can tell which way it’s flying.

Alan KM6VV

Yes real easy since those are 12v led strip.
It can be cut at each 3 LEDS and power alone.

Looking great.
Still got my strobe and beacon kit about somewhere. They always look cool.

Cf blades?

Oh Yes…!
REAL CF propellers… :wink:

Some of the pictures of the latest design… :slight_smile:

Very, very impressive, Eric. How soon will you have it flying?
I like the logo. 8)
And wasn’t it nice that GoPro designed their camera to fit right onto your copter. :stuck_out_tongue:
I would really like to see some video of it flying and from it while it is flying.

Ted

Thanks a lot Ted,
Your comments are ALWAYS really really apreciated.

I made two because there is somebody who want it in Tahiti…!
He shoot video there.
I am sending him the frame this week, only waiting on the right carbon fiber tubes for the arms.
They will be 225mm each not 140mm like on the pictures.

The other one is for my… HaHa…
Will assemble real soon. Need to figure which ESC and Motors i will put in that… :slight_smile:

btw: here is my logo… :wink: (in the right way)

Jonny - Innerbreed - InnerbreedFX did it for me… :wink:

Would the design benefit better regarding efficiency, and stability, if the camera was mounted below the frame?
