Soooo...
was trying to figure how to get the "blade tx" alum head into a cp...
then came to the conclusion that it fit the frame of my older walkera 22e better.

the result: frankenchopper


setup:
walkera 22e frame, skids, and tail boom
blade tx alum head from helidirect
blade cp servos and 4 in one
dual tail mount from helidirect
brushless motor conversion from helidirect
eflight 3c lipo from blade cp
hdx 300 canopy
cheap plastic blades from helidirect

---------------------
some minor dremeling of the frame to fit the motor and servos.
some really bad wiring by myself
hovered her in my living room b4 passing out last night!

:D love the name you gave it. Amazing what a bit of imagination & a dremel can achieve..well done. How does the walkera handle the extra weight?

I own 2 of those 22e's though they are gathering dust now.

"How does the walkera handle the extra weight?"

the only thing walkera here is the tail boom,skids, and frame.
The lil brushless cruises!

Your elevator servo is wrong side up, causing the linkage to angle to much, flip it over move the arm 180, for that matter the swash will work better if the rear servos are flipped to set the control outputs in line with the front servo to, and you will be set. The washout levers need to be 90deg from the upper mixers. Keep working with it. You have a good start.
