Bobby Watts Stratus Upgrade List?

[docjoe]

Does anyone know what exactly I would need to upgrade to a Bobby Watts Stratus? I'd really like the MA part numbers too if you can at all help.

Thanks in advance.

You can call MA and get all the parts together as a kit. Otherwise, it's frames, bellcranks, throttle servo spacer, elevator support bridge, frame stiffeners, new tail control rod (possibly),

Found this using a search:

Conversion Kit #126-130 Includes:
#126-133 New style Alum. Bell Cranks x 3
R and L Frames #126-132 & 126-131
#126-107 Frames Stiffner Kit
Rod to extend the #0868-11

You should know that there are no more aluminum bellcranks. They're now graphite. And this search made no reference to the elevator support bridge or the throttle servo spacer.

Thanks, Your search yielded better results than mine did.

Now the question is, do I wait to get the Align 700/Aurora or do I upgrade my Stratus. I may eventually end up doing both.

Also included are the upgrade tail gears, one metal and one delrin gear for the open gear box. I think the part number is 123-96.

I hate to sound like a total idiot but I tried looking for those parts on Heliproz and Ronlund and Zoomsheli and I didn't get anything coming up. Also, I looked on Miniature's site and couldn't find anything as well. Where can I get these?

You're not an idiot, they're not there. You have to call or email MA and ask for them specifically.

By the way, I just got my CF bellcranks in and they're awesome! The machine work is beautiful and the graphite is actually thicker than what the frames are made of!

[docjoe]

I emailed MA and you can call them for the kit. It costs about 239$ in case any of you want to know.

i have seen the Align 700 in person flying It is way cool ...here in AZ ... Think that where having cluch prob's before. But they had them all fixed. when I was there they where flight hard 3d and they went all day and they did great

a extra bird in allways nice

If you upgrade one you still ony have that one to fly ... you buy the 700 you have the 700 and your older aircraft

Thanks ChopperKnud,

The kit I was referring to was the same as you listed. It's about 239.99 USD. I may end up upgrading it but I am also probably going to get the 700 also. I'm a big fan of Align and most of my helis are TRexes.
