Re: T-Rex 500 / Hughes MD500 / Scale Build That does look good. I thought the screen would do the trick, making it look like there are windows in there that match the tinting of the front. Enjoy flying that one. Don |

Re: T-Rex 500 / Hughes MD500 / Scale Build Well this is the end of this build with the mounting of 6 more magnets (20x10x1mm) to the nose portion & as Don suggested black screen for the door windows. I went with a 5000mAh battery rather than adding weights to the front to get the COG in the right spot. Sorry for the poor pictures, but yellow is not a friendly color for a camera. The last 2 pictures were taken last weekend before I finished because it was very warm & well I was a little impatient. Till next time, Happy Flying Pete  |

Re: T-Rex 500 / Hughes MD500 / Scale Build Mounted the tail servo on the boom with an aftermarket servo mount. Unsure where I got the link rod, but it was the perfect length that was required. For the vertical stabilizer I drilled out a frame spreader from a 450, filed down the aluminum mount & bought some M2.5 x 30mm screws for mounting it all. On the rudder lever I filed down the collar to have the ball closer to the tail case. Pete |

Re: T-Rex 500 / Hughes MD500 / Scale Build Still waiting on some parts before I can make much more progress. I did put some cheap blades onto the body & took it for a test hover, all was good. Did put some signage & art work on the canopy to personalize it. Also striped the blades & balanced them. Back to dialup, what a pain in the ………  Pete |
