The Trewx 600 Build videos will be listed here.

NEW 01/20/2007 Shaft Drive Kit Overview.
This is not a video showing complete assembly but is an over of the system. Installation should be the same as belt drive and should be EASY following my build videos below as it is like the belt drive and tail assemblies

First up:

Kit Contents Overview
What's in the box!! (18 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=inthebox.wmv)

VIDEO -> Steps 1 and 2 - Blade grips and head (18 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=steps1_2.wmv)

NOTE! The flybar supplied is now 440mm instead of 400mm as used in my video. Please be aware of this for the measurements I give for paddle distance!

VIDEO -> Steps 12 - Landing Gear (9 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=step12.wmv)

OK folks. At this point for ease of video purposes I am skipping steps 13 through 16 (tail and tail rotor) and going to 17 servo install and head set up. I will return to these steps near the end.

VIDEO -> Servo Install and linkage setup (44 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=servo_setup.wmv)

VIDEO -> Head and link setup (30 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=head_setup.wmv)

VIDEO -> Installing the electronics (38 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=electronics.wmv)

OK I will now be going back to page 13 and doing the tail of the heli and this will include setting up the servo.

VIDEO -> Tail boom, tail case, and tail shaft (30 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=steps13_14.wmv)

VIDEO -> Tail pitch slider and tail hub (22 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=step15.wmv)

VIDEO -> Boom supports and fins (22 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=step16.wmv)

VIDEO -> Tail servo and gyro setup (35 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=gyro_setup.wmv)

OK basically that is it! I hope you all enjoy the build vids and please feel free to give feedback!
The below vid is just some final comments nothing big. I moved the ESC to the other side of the heli due to the antenna routing as I did this build without the skids on and after placing the skids I realized it was not good to have the ESC close to the antenna.

VIDEO -> Final comments (6 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/trex600&filename=final.wmv)

VIDEO -> How to mount the flight power 4900 to the Trex600 (19 Megs) (http://video.helifreak.com/?subpath=finless/flightpower&filename=hf4900trex600.wmv)

Well I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did doing the vids!

Enjoy,
Bob

[Stealthpilot]

I dident see any main rotor blades in the box?? Did it not come with any??

[Finless]

No the kit does NOT come with blades and I am told Align will not be making blades.

Bob

[king kong]

Come on bob, aren't you done yet? Mine's ready for flight at first light. oh, btw can i borrow some servo tape. i'm all out

[Finless]

Frank... seeing how you have built in the past I am sure it is sloppy.... You want to get in the air fast and dont care about a QUALITY build.... Seen your work before...

If you lockout this weekend I will be sure to have my camera!

I bet I will not approve of your wiring job, etc but we shall see...

One day when you grow out of puberty you will appreciate spending time building a GOOD heli...

Of course I am picking on you ya know ;)

Bob
