3dx450B with Align EC135 Body fitted
Â
Here’s a picture of my latest conversion of my 3DX450B in an Align EC135 Bodyshell. Total fit out time was 4 hours from start to finish and it sure flys well. I had to add 4 x small Hex nuts in the nose to get the CG correct.
Battery is the 2100Mah 18C 11.1 Lipoly and the ESC is Sonix 30amp with UBEC. Radio Spectrum DX7 (hides the aerial well!!)
The only mod i had to do to get the 3DX450 in the Align frame was cut out the 2 x rear exhausts so as i could reach the 2 x 1.5mm bolts that hold the swash anti rotation fibre upright. Once i could get access to the bolts the reast of the build was easy.
The Jesus bolt was a bit difficult to fit, but with some cyno on the tip of the bolt to hold in place it became easier.
Found a good tip the other day as well. Next time your ball links (oh matron!) on your helicopters head go slack, use a heat gun and gently warm the links and they shrink to the balls! (there i go again) this can be done a couple of times before you have to exchange them, but it helps tighten those ball links up lads….
The body comes all pre painted and with a set of stickers as shown.
I am going to get a video of this heli flying together and post on the web for all to see. It looks very real at 10 to 15 feet away in the hover.
Ciao for now
