Hi everyone,
I waited until almost a week to post my results with my Trex 700n so far. I completed my build last Thursday morning. Thanks to cudaboy_79 for getting me the kit.
The build process was very simple, and if you have built a 600n before, then the 700n should be no problem. I had same shim issue as most, using the smallest it was too big, had to sand down the .8mm shim to .59mm to get the bottom bolt to fit. My carbon rod that is used with the tail push rod was drilled to small, however I was able to fix it. Also my canopy had a minor crack due to how Align packs canopy in the box.
So far I have put just over 7 gallons of fuel (46+ flights) in just under a week. I haven't noticed any vibration issues and nothing has come loose, every screw has stayed tight. All can I say is WOW, the heli rocks. There is a ton of power available (its a 90 :lol: ). My 600n machines have been siting there. Power is not the only gain, it is stable but very fast at the same time.
I have included pictures of my 700n and a video. Sorry about the video, the camera man (you know who you are! :lol: ) sucks at using my camera, and zoom for that matter. I will work on getting a better video and flight.
My setup:
Trex 700n
OS 91 SZ with Cline Regulator
Hatori SB18
Spekturm AR7100R
JR 8717 (8V)
Spartan ds760 with BLS 251
FP Evolite 2S1P 2500mah
Radix 710mm Stickbangers
The headspeed set at 1850rpm. I'm getting 6 1/2 flights out of a gallon of fuel and around 8 to 8 1/2 mins a tank. The FP evolite 2500mah pack gives me 4 flights and a 2100mah will give me 3 flights. I'm using a fuel magnet instead of the stock clunk. I didn't use the sensor that was included with the AR7100R, instead I used the align sensor (cut the align connector and soldered on a standard connector) as it was a cleaner install.
