It will not be for hardcore 3D, more for normal sport flying. But the quality is OK...

Where can I find the one piece plastic skids that come on the HK450 PRO? HK wants to replace it with a 4 piece setup, and they aren't very resilient. The one piece plastic piece is very resilient.

You can use Tarot one piece landing skid.

If you need other parts, better use Tarot over HK. It has better quality.

Alot of people ask wether to buy a RTF 450 or build their own. Well heres a quick list to show just how cheap you can build your own basic 450 size heli. With the exception of the gyro, I've used everything on the list and it all works great for basic flight. The actual heli kit would need to be upgraded before doing any kind of aggressive flight.

HK 450 $10 - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11446&Product_Name=HK-450_CCPM_3D_Helicopter_Barebone_kit_(Align_T-rex_Compat.)&aff=41515

Alpha 400 motor $12 - http://www.hobbypartz.com/alpha-400--3500kv--brushless-motor.html


Hello everyone.   Yes I am new  I REALLY CAN USE SOME HELP AND ADVICE ON THE HK450TTPRO.............

I WOULD POST SPECIFICS BUT DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE OR HOW TO POST SUCH THINGS YET..........

THANKS

Deewng,
I highly recommend you purchase the 450proGT not the TT, as they are more forgiving.

And skip the fiberglass blades and get carbon fiber. Fiberglass blades are dangerous.

Why do you say that? I have used them a lot, and they work really well...  :130:
