it shows you step by step.

My first ever build and I found the whole manual required a thorough study before starting the build. All mechanics in manual is 100%, but lacks a lot of information on the electrics/electronics - specially for a first timer like me.

Yes, Yes i would love to be able to see (follow) you as it's being put it together. When i did that with my 500 build, flying it has been enjoyable.

Finless,

I would be interested on your views of the manuals instructions on electronics placement.
They have the ESC mounted on the right side lower frame outer. I assume this to be a good idea due to it counter balancing the offset elevator and slightly offset rudder servos ?

Thanks

Timbo

And good for additional airflow for cooling.

philipfrank · 08-04-2010, 04:42 PM

cooling only. no need for any counter balancing.

TimboZero · 08-04-2010, 11:12 PM

You have all stuck with exactly as per the manual for electronics placement then ?

beenflying · 08-04-2010, 11:55 PM

I surprised Align hasn't updated the manual, on their site, with the correct torque tube bearing placement (page 11). The latest kits come with an amended page, inserting in the manual.

Chee · 08-08-2010, 10:21 PM

Hi Finless, I need the Trex550 manual, but I can download it. Please help, thanks! Chee

whittb · 05-24-2011, 04:09 PM

Good, it means my existing spare 600 landing gear spares will work. I checked the 550 instruction Manuel and sure enough, they match.
It makes finding parts that much easier.

thanks

tommy158 · 10-03-2011, 05:48 AM

i put 2 TT bearings in my 550.. i just split the difference for spacing... flys great with no wag in tail from the beginning....zero vibration

Chee · 08-08-2010, 10:23 PM

Sorry Finless, I mean I can't download it, please help. Chee

Chee · 08-09-2010, 06:44 PM

Got it, thanks!

Vazodian · 09-07-2010, 10:07 AM
