You *can* modify the FB head parts to make a swash driver but the Align 450pro driver works better. The modified head limits your pitch range and is likely to fall apart in flight.

The Tarot head won't work with the Furion grips/feathering shaft as it is modeled after the 450pro head which is wider than the Furion head. The G5 FBL block is an almost direct drop in replacement.

No matter what MA says, don't expect them to ever produce any upgrades for the Furion 450.


I've been working the Furion 450 fbl problem long enough that I no longer care who makes the parts, I just want a solution that works and works extremely well. That's why I designed my own frames and I'm working towards getting new grip arms made to remove the pitch range limitation. I've decided that getting a custom head block made isn't worth the cost when the G5 block works so well.
