Reviving my Outrage 550

s0laris · 05-21-2012, 10:42 PM

Well..

No one seems to be interested in purchasing my frame + parts,,,

so I am reviving it.. putting in torque servos.. and tx pack at 8v

going fbl with it..

The velocity/fusion 50 FBL head is compatible I think right ?

The Fusion head is what everybody uses, you can also save a few bucks and use ds610's. Tons of people run them on 2s.

do i need a different swash too ?

I forgot

You can use the 550 swash, but the fusion swash has improved geometry. You can get the f50 head and swash for $140 combined.

If money is an issue, I recently replaced the ds620s with Hyperion ds20x smd servos on the cyclic. They're less than $50. I've only had 100 flights on them, but I'm liking them so far. I think they hold better.

Glad to see you are going to put your O550 back in the air. I have two of them flying at the moment and O550 #4 should be delivered today by the brown truck.

s0laris · 05-31-2012, 02:37 PM

hmmm

NO FUSION FBL heads are in stock.

further more the individual parts are not all in stock either..

AARG

I wonder if I can use my O550 feathering spindle and blade grips...

If you buy the FBL swash make sure you buy the one with the anti-rotation pin. The Fusion 50 and new Velocity 50 N2 don't have one. Besides, the swash with the pin is $6.00 cheaper. Look in the O550 and Velocity 50 parts for it.

I have a bunch of FB heads and was thinking about using the blade grips and feathering shafts that I have as spares before replacing with the V50 grips etc when needed. I will have to check and see if the FBL arms will fit.

s0laris · 05-31-2012, 09:04 PM

i planned on removing the pin from my existing fb swash

pctomlin · 05-31-2012, 09:07 PM

That might be a problem. The original swash is 2mm screws and the update ones are 2.5mm.

s0laris · 05-31-2012, 09:09 PM

oh great.. i dont know what swash i ordered lol.. need to look when it arrives

pctomlin · 05-31-2012, 09:15 PM

My next order I was thinking about getting a Fusion elevator arm just for fun to see how it fits. Think it would be kinda cool to get rid of the anti-rotation bracket on my O550 if it works.
