Here is my newest AP setup. A T-rex SE. It has an AON motor, 40 Amp eflite ESC, and a Park BEC. The camera is a Canon S500 and the camera mount is an Airfoil T-rex mount with tilt. I'v flown the bird with the mount, but just got the camera setup on it. I hope to get some pictures within the next few days, but we have rain moving in.

looks like a nice light setup, what is the AUW ? it also looks like you're running 325's, have you thought about some 335's for it.

It weighed 2 1/2 lbs. I'm still pretty new at this. Will 335's make a difference and which 335's, the align blades?

thats only around 1100g which is ok. just watch you don't overheat your batteries like I did by flying to long.. :oops:
the 335s seem to give a little more lift.. I use the tech-mp.com blades, they are just a bit heavier than the aligns (they are weighted) and balanced much better than the align blades IME. I've never had to trim a set of these blades. The solid colors also seem to show the disc off better in the air..
The yellow and red are nice.
