I designed a direct to swash frame for the older TREX and HK600.
made to run the wider motors. check it out.

I used BOBCAD and PRECIX 1100 router. I am running a build log on RCG.

looks like there is a better design community here.

I'm interested in this. I have a friend with the old T600e aluminum frame version and he recently went FBL. I was thinking about having some frames cut based on the T550e design but tailored to the old T600e hardware.

Would you mind sharing your files?

fpainter · 02-19-2012, 07:42 PM

Where would you get them cut? What material?

prototype3a · 02-19-2012, 07:54 PM

I've had this guy cut several parts for me out of black 0.060" G10.

I am making them out of the Green G10 in small quantities.

If you can give me a source for black G10 I could give you a price to cut them out on our router. I have a lot of time invested in the files and I don't know if I am going to try to make them commercially yet,so I would rather not share the files.

Well, there is always McMaster-Carr....

I'm not sure where the owner/operator of myrcbuild gets his G10 from. My best guess is that he uses this stuff...

I get my "natural" G10 from e-plastics.com (Rideout). I contacted them about black G10(they only have black in 0.25) I would need to buy a large quantity directly from their manufacturer to get it in 0.060" About $700.00.

The best size for me to use on my machine is 24" X 24" , however the ones I have made so far were cut from a 12" X 12" sheet.

I am going to see if I can find some smaller quantities this week. Would your buddy consider the green frames?

As to the files- I can send PDF prints so you can see what you are getting.

Looks like they have black .062 G10. Click on the chart. Prices are good too.

prototype3a · 02-25-2012, 09:54 PM

Garolite CE (High impact resistance) would be a better choice than G-10/FR4.

I agree, I think I will order some from them for a test. I used 12X12 for my prototypes.
