My New HDX500 is Comming !

[Andcam]

Now that is a very cool looking canopy, great job.:noteworthy
I intend buying a HDX500 all aluminum kit without the motor or speed controller but want to run it with 2 x 3s battery packs as this is what i have for my Trex450 SE V2. Is this going to be possible as i want to be able to use 3s packs on both heli's to save buying different sized batteries. If i can do this can anyone suggest what size motor and gearing i would be looking at running 6s on the heli.

I tried running this Heli on 2 x 3s, but I connected them in parallel to have more capacity. The heli was flying very smooth with the stock engine and a 24 tooth pinion. It came up to 10 min flight time. But for sure this is not working for acrobatic flying.

Thanks John, i am only after light sport at most so sounds good.

The more I read about this heli the more I want one over the Trex 500 but am still waiting out for what people think of the Trex

Nice bird canizes how does she fly?

[John Heli]

Nope. Thats the HDX-Head. If you have a look on the first page of this thread, you will see a picture of the 3DX-Head.

[Bignose13]

So which head is better?
The Helidirect one or this one

Sorry for being a bit of a noob question just want the best.
Thanks

Its all in this thread you are writing in, just have a look in the middle of page 7. I can't compare both heads but I am very happy with the 3DX one.

[aussiemick]

I have both heads and the one that is one heli at the moment is the 3DX head. Much better cyclic response!!

The fly bar is a bit flimsy, but that would be the only downside to using the 3DX head, I broke both ends off in a botched auto.
