the TREX 450V2 I bought from a forum member a few mos back. Great little copter, but I'm outgrowing the 400's and want to concentrate only on my 600's, with maybe a 500 later in the stable. My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and keeping orientation on the 400's is difficult for me :(.

the trex is your typical 450V2(not V1 upgrade). Upgrades are carbon fiber tail boom, Scorpion 8 turn motor, I think it's the 2221-8. Stock align 35amp ESC. It will come with Align "carbon" 325 blades. I'm waiting on a few parts before I can take pics. If you search my thread history you will find where I had a tip over accident, when I accidently plugged in a pack in idleup :O. The copter will be fully fixed prior to sale. I don't sell junk, I like to sleep at night. The only flaws is the stock Canopy(fiberglass painted) has a few small cracks in it from prior owner. Nothing really noticable unless it's off the bird and your looking for them.

Few spare parts including main shaft, feathering shaft, belts, and a variety of stuff I'll have to take pics of actually as I can't remember what I have. Should be enough to last 1-2 crashes. I also have night flying stuff for it, including plastic canopy with glow wires, and night align CF blades, a converter, and a small lipo. I never used this, as I got it in a combo with the TREX.

The TREX has HS 65 MG's on cyclic which work great, a Logitech 2100T gyro w/JR 3400g servo. It also has a Spektrum 6 channel reciever AR6100E which has never given me any issues such as glitches or brownouts.

I also have the full sized aluminum carrying case which is like new, except for some scuffs on the bottom, sides from being lugged around. Heli fits really nice in the case :).

She'll be ready to go, just bind, and setup your radio and it's ready to fly. I'll even throw in a thunderpower 2170mah 25c pack :)

$550+ shipping and PP fees

Blade 400 is used with HS65-MG's on cyclic(x3), stock gyro/servo, ESC, motor, spektrum 6100E 6 channel reciever. I'm repairing this one too as I was showing off in the front yard for the kids, and well you can guess the rest. It will be fully repaired prior to sale. I'm putting in new mainshaft, feathering shaft, boom, blades will be Align "carbon" 325's. I have a bunch of spares for this copter too. I'll take a pic when I get some time in the next couple days. This copter flies well. Not as nice as the TREX 450, but decent. With carbon blades it flies ALOT better too as I was able to up the headspeed and really smooted it out. Only thing holding it back now, is the stock gyro servo, the stock servos IMO are just junk. It's serviceable on the rudder/gyro, but was on my planned upgrade list. Canopy is like new. Heli will be like new do to alot of newer parts. Only flaw I can tell is the botton tray where the ESC is, has a crack in the plastic that I just put CA on and repaired it. I don't want someone to get it though and think I'm trying to rip them off.

If you have a spektrum trans, and don't want to spend $400+ for a new blade400 and then have to worry about spending another $100 for good servos this bird is for you :). Plus the carbon blades and extras it's a good deal at $300+ shipping and PP fees

Also the main blades I will be including are RCP 325mm carbon fiber blades. Had 2 good ones I found as spares from prior crashes :O. The flybar paddles I also had upgraded to align paddles w/out weights which makes the cyclic response much faster :). I forgot to mention that in prior post.
