Parts interchangeability; E-4 & T-REX V2

[goldslinger]

Hey, Gang!

I love My T-rex; but I want something to build when I take My little Hyatus from My retail store in the New Year.

I'm totally sold on the E-4.

We have no LHS in our town, so I always have to stock up plenty on parts, etc. fron Readiheli, etc.

I know the swash, maybe some tail parts, etc. interchange, but what about in the head? flybars, paddles?

I believe the blades are the same; I like the Align woodies.
Will the Kong Packs 3s fit?
Canopy?

I can't afford to have alot involved. I have 2 T-REX 450'S; one I built from spare parts!

Thanks!

Tail Boom.
Tail Rotor Blades.
Flybars.
Paddles.
Any 315-335 main blade (the grips might be very tight and need to be gently spread apart for the Align woodies).
Any 3S pack that works on a Rex will work on the Beam.
Not sure about the canopy.
Gear and skids.

The Beam is not a derivative machine so nothing else will fit (head parts, main gear, frame parts, tail case, etc.).

Actually the tail case and swash should fit just fine. I just put the Beam swash and tail case on a T-Rex. You MAY be able to replace the head as a complete assembly but the mainshaft will have to be a Beam. I tried my T-Rex fiberglass canopy on the Beam and it fits fine.

I can see for emergency fixes replacing with V2 parts but the Beam parts seem to be much higher quality than the Align stuff hands down. Just put a Beam swash on my 450 and have no clue why I didnt do it ages ago.
