Just ordered a full metal trex se style head, I'm guessing the head will fit on my main axis (x400) but I'm not sure. Does anyone know?

Direct bolt on per numerous posts, I would guess there might be minor linkage length differences swash to servos.
I am interested if the Align head has faster cyclic response than the helimax CCPM.
I just installed the Align 220mm flybar and gorilla paddles without weight and my MX400 CCPM cyclic is much faster.

Not real sure if its any faster or not. Sure seems a bit faster, but the head is still so tight its not even funny. Give it another week to loosen up a bit. Was happy with the x400 parts, but it was time to replace the plastic, scary doing ticktocs with a part plastic head, finally something just came loose, may have been the flybar, not sure. I heard fluttering noise while I was inverted and it just sank to the ground. It took me a couple of days to get the head just right, so I'd have +10 -10 using 0 25 50 75 100 pitch curve. I was determined, and I think it may have paid off. I still need to do the ccpm interaction thing after it loosens up, but I'm real happy with it so far.
