Trust your clone parts? Copter x 450 parts
So now that my 450se is outfitted with all the copter x v2 head and tail would you trust it? Last year I added that head and tail... Since then I've added all my fpv gear, crash 9's gear, and now an Eagletree osd, so with all that gear would you trust the Copter X parts? Should I change them to Align? Change out the bearings? Thanks guys!

I trust my clone parts just not the plastic clone stuff. I have an HK-450 with the CopterX aluminum head and tail and haven't had any issues compared with my Align 450 V2. I do prefer the HK links over the CopterX because they fit better and are stronger.

I used all my Align links and main shaft.. Did your Washout pins bend at all? Swash have a little slop in it?

Over 60 FPV flights over the past 6 months on stock HK-450 parts (plastic head etc.) !!!
I'm very pleased. Last edited by jimbril; 10-07-2009 at 05:19 PM.. |

I have had three CopterX tails all breaking at the same point (where the block is fixed to the tube-like tail boom mount). Two of them were only slightly broken and I noticed the cracks before lifting off. But the third one snapped right off in flight causing my FPV heli to spiral to its death. Broken frame, shafts, landing skid, camera cable, etc. So no, I would not trust CopterX tail at all. The head works OK, but has some serious slop after some flights.
