Trex 700 rotorhead on Raptor ?

trillian · 12-05-2010, 01:06 PM

'Just curious, has anyone put a Trex 700 rotorhead (flybared version) on a Raptor 90?

I had a bit of a mishap with my Raptor 90 due to the collective link coming off the servo which resulted in a very hard landing and the original plastic Raptor head sheared off.

I happen to have a Trex 700 head (complete with everything above the swash) that I bought for another project and then realised I couldn't use it for that project.

It seems to fit straight on and I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work but I'm curious if anyone has done this and if there are any issues I am unaware of.

I also have a Raptor 90 3d flybarred, and also considered putting on a T-rex 700 head but the flybarless one, anyone done that before, its either a trex head kasama or gforce head, are there any other nice heads flybarless for the raptor 90 ?

I used a 600 head on my R50 and worked quite well. Did have to modify it though. Used the raptor washouts on the Align slider to get proper alignment with the swash. Also had to make different mixing levers to get enough pitch throw. Put it on and see what you get. Maybe try the raptor mixing levers if don't get enough throw. Give it a try

If you can find a G-Force tuner head, get it. It's built like a tank and had adjustable phasing. When I do rolls, the bird rolls like it's on a string...no correction needed here.

I just finished putting a 700 head on my 90. Flew it today for the first time. 40 degrees and 15mph wind so I only flew once but seemed great.
