When converting the 700 to an 800, do you need to change the boom mount and tail torque tube unit to accommodate the wider 800 boom?

I used the align stretch kit, so the boom Are the Same width as the 700boom

Cool. Do you notice any real difference when it is in the air?

I have two 700L tops so I could convert one but just wondering if I should.

Havent tried it much, but feels much floatier then the 700, Also you can autorotate forever but if you Are a hardcore 3D pilot, i Would not recomend a 800 conversion.

I also stretched a Trex700 (V2) to the 800 size. Best move ever....
Flies like a dream with almost no need for adjustments...

finally got some air with this heli. flies awesome, a little scared flying it just becuse of the sheer size of it. im still very much a beginner so just be able to flip a 800 feels awesome to me. )

Nice,

I'm currently setting up an 800 Trekker for a friend at the moment and the parts to extend mine came today so hopefully I'll be flying both on saturday.

[99100]

I extended the 700l and it flies so nice.

Its my only vbarred heli and tbh I didnt like the feel when it was a 700, could have been some of my settings but now its and 800 it flies very nicely indeed.

The head speed is 1620 and is really nice for sport flying and now im getting 5:30 instead of 4 mins from each pack. I may increase the HS slightly.

Just stretched mine, flys great, even better than a 700 !

Received a new castle 160 this weekend. And this one didnt burn

[Xorxess]

feels alot better flying with a 160a esc

[99100]

Here is mine oldie 700 stretched to 800 size. Edge 813 main and triple 116mm tail. 7s thunder power lipo with lowrpm.

Align 800 low headspeed (7 min 47 sec)

Haven't managed to get out with mine much, hopefully the weather will get a bit better soon.

[99100]

Finally managed to get some more flights on the stretched 700l and finished setting it up, it flies so nicely.

[Xorxess]

looks good my friend!

a little update on my 800, upgraded some electrics, vbar silverline with JR dsmx sats, and some new gens ace 5500mah packs instead of the zippys

[99100]

cool, Have you gained any extra flight time with the 5500 packs?
