Thanks Guys will keep you Posted allot of parts Ordered two different Shipments 1/  (Ordered AUS Warehouse) 2/ (Ordered Warehouse)

That will do for now as some will the rest will have to wait a little, maybe after 16th DEC  

[Hell_Cat]

This is a more appropriate manual for that model http://www.heliguy.com/i/Trex450SE-V2Manual_ebook.pdf The lengths of the control links and the flybar are wrong, it was a misprint that was acknowledged by align. I will try to post more correct lengths for you later.

[HBFP NL]

Thanks Hell_Cat, 

Both orders have Now been Shipped, 

[mheloy]

I'm sure the AU Order will arrive first and you will feel the itch of the HongKong order to arrive the next day. hehehehe
I received my Hongkong Order 2 weeks after the status from Hongkong post 25Nov2010 Left HongKong. Before it was like the monday/tuesday I will receive it.
It seems because of the Christmas season.

[Jolly-Swagman]

Thanks mheloy, the AU order left NSW the other day so expect maybe Mon-Tues and the HK order is just Clearing Customs so should be here soon after.
Still need to get 3 x Servo's for Cylics as they weren't in stock when ordered everything 

Will also need to get some Tools, Hex & Socket, Small Screw drivers as they weren't in stock either 

btw - What tail rotors did you get for spares as the only ones they seem to have in stock were the Black/Yellow ones and from reports they are Crap and brake in flight , or even at spool up very easily.

[mheloy]

Actually I don't have spares for my 450 yet. hehehe. I plan to buy Tarrot parts like main gear and tail gear. then maybe eventually upgrade the head and tail to CNC Tarot.
I have tight budget so it will take time.

Wow your order is quite fast. Is it EMS Express?

Tools will help your are 2x1.5 hex 2.0 hex, pitch gauge, 450 swash level tool, ball link pliers

Don't forget to post some pics.

[Jolly-Swagman]

Thanks mheloy,  yep EMS Express

Yes I have Pitch gauge , swash level tool and ball link pliers coming in the HK order, might have a look in LHS see if they have some (2x1.5 hex 2.0 hex Driver tools or Complete Kit)

Parcel with Electronics

 Charger ECCO 6



Turnigy Gyro


Now here is where I get   as the HK-7X v2 2,4Ghz 7ch Transmitter is Damaged, the front cover where the LED Display is come away from the TX and NO bind plug with the RX  




  " Not Happy Jan"  

Pretty obvious that HobbyKing Don't check the actual contents of your Order for Quality Control Properly,  

I have Emailed HK and have received an number just awaiting there second Email as to what is going to happen,

I haven't actually checked t see if it even works yet, Charging the Batteries for it now.

So far Not Impressed, hope the Main other box has no Problems.  

[old_city_painter]

Yep. I'd be on em like "Stink on Poop"! Let us know what the outcome is...
