Re: 450 SE V2 HK parts

We're getting out of Align and blowing out our T-Rex 450 OEM stock ... see my most recent post in the Vendors area.

I would essentially convert your SE to a pro, but use your good servos, gyro, etc. Parts are easier to get at LHS and the HK pro is essentially 100% compatible with the Align pro and is a much stronger frame than the SE.

Thats what I did with my old V1. Flys great.

That 20.00 frame is made of carbon fiber, I have a one sitting here that will go in the huey fuse from Heliartist. Oh excuse me its $19.37, getting less everyday.

I prefer the split frame rather than the pro version, maybe due to not being a pro at flying. Mainly I just like the looks of it better and for me it seems easier to work on. As far as HK items go, I have 3 450's flying, one 500 equiped with SK720 that fly's nice and smooth and soon have a multicopter with all HK items along with Naza for control.

More important is for you to do some research and chose which way to go, maybe with all parts you might just buy a complete 450 less electric componets.

Re: 450 SE V2 HK parts

You can check the manual on both, but I think the HK-450 is the same as your SE V2.

I just bought a frame for 19.95 from HK that has everything in it, bearings, boom mount, belt tail drive gear, battery mount ect ect.

450 SE V2 HK parts

I just crashed my 450 SE V2 today and bad. I was just wondering which parts will fit to the SEV2 from hobby king. I'm going to need things like frame parts, tail boom, landing skids and a bunch of other stuff as well.
Thanks
