Mount for Trex 600?

[Cryofix]

anyone if anyone makes either an underslung or front mount?

[Griffo]

Try Askman AP. I think he's done a few Trex 600's. Top quality and great prices.

[askman]

actually, I am shipping my first trex600 nosemount to my tester/customer. (I just cut it tonight) already shipped under mount already. (actually, my raptor one fits pretty closely. just needed to re do the mounting holes. infact, I am making it dual purpose) only downside is that the battery has to be mounted to the side or the bottom. I will be offering a bottom plate to help do this.

Askman,
I currently have one of your Raptor 30/50 mounts. Are you saying the ship's battery needs to be mounted differently with the mount installed on the T-Rex 600?
Have any photos of the modification required? I would like to use the mount with the 600.

Thanks,
Rick

If you need more test pilots let me know :)

if you have raptor undermount, it is just matter of drilling new mounting holes to match the trex600. no other modification necessary., battery mounts to the nose like usual

in case of new nosemount, I will be including a bottom battery plate so that battery can be strapped under the leg. (this due to fact that you will lose the battery area, and also allow you to run bigger battery pack in the middle) you can always go dual pack on the side as well.

I would be intersted in seen some pics of these set up

I am in a holding pattern

to convert a rappy to epower

to get a trex 600 with some kind of nose mount

or wait for the e620 and do some kind of nose mount setup

have you talked to gary i belive he had access to the e620 frames are you guys working on a front mount for that heli ?

still on hold

[askman]

have not had chance to talk to gary for few days. I have the lower frame (original) programmed. I need an upper frame. Gary seems to prefer bottom mount setup with pan, so I have the design finished for the bottom pan mount. I need an upper frame for nosemount,and was promised one of the earlier sets. the issues is lack of time. I have to finish up joke 2 nosemount, and I will be out of town this weekend. it will get done eventually. (as soon as I have a setup)

[Cryofix]

you need dimensions for the upper frame of a 600?

[askman]

I already have upper frame for 600. I don't have one for 620SE. :) I should have pictures of trex600 mounted setup after this weekend. (I will be out of town this weekend though, so I will post next week)

Here is the AskManAP Trex 600 Nose Mount installation is very simple, all hardware has been included.

Now I need to finish the build.

[Cryofix]

sweet let me know when they are available!

[askman]

it is available, but it is still in a beta test stage. if you want to beta test, I will give discount.

[rtp1970]

askman,
I too would be interested in the 600 nose mount. Let me know a price please and when they will be available. Would be hard for me to bata test right now as we are entering the Winter season here in Minnesota and I tend to be a fair weather flyer.

I am extremely interested in the nose mount. Where can I find more info?

Andrey is at www.askmanap.com

[askman]

I have not updated my website yet. I will be doing it very soon. price will be about 350 retail for the base model. it will include the bottom battery mounting plate.

[EricTheRed]

Ok, my build is now complete, I have run two batteries thru it in low hover test flights. The bottom battery tray is very usefull as you can shift the battery forward or back depending on the wieght of the camera system. Next weekend, I will be putting the final test flights in and install the camera, additional Rx, etc to allow for a full 360 degree rotation of the mount.

I will attempt to post a photo of the battery tray soon, however I will be out of town for a few weeks so that may not be possible. Who knows, I may have an open WiFi AP where I am heading...
