Bought this heli a while ago, never had a chance to fly with it becouse one of the blades is about 4 degrees of so the blades stand in a small V. No service from HobbyCity, what a pitty..

Anybody know if this kit will interchange parts with the TRex 450xl?

The Main Blades that came with my Heli are a little different to the Blades Shown in the pictures (just black with holes at one side. Additionally there was some (4) Stickers, and i don't know, if i should put them onto the blades or not. I'm also not sure, if these stickers become detached due to the high rotating speed of the Blades and the wind.please some hints.

Mine is same hard plastic blade. I think I should not use stickers. I afraid to detach between flying. But this blade looks like nice. I think it is tough at crush than glass roater. Will Hobby City sell it?

This heli Kit is great but some parts also need to be improved. Eg. the fin material is to soft that when the tail wags, it also wags and clashes with the tail rotor cause some damage. See this pic: HK-450 IMPROVE

I agree i have stripped the tail drive pulley spline on 3 helis from the tail fin flexing and hitting the tail rotor mid flight i now fly without the tail fin its better than lossing the tail mid air and doing more damage.other than that i highly recomend this heli it flies exelent
Yesyns

For beginner it is advise to have tail fin fitted. Just replace it with a rigit fin otherwise he or she might have to buy another tail rotor for standby.

Turnigy e500 Zippy Flightmax 2200mah 3s 20c HXT900 Telebee HH gyro fiberglass blades 325mm 11T pinion (with the e500, you need a 11t not the 13t that is supplied with the motor) Turnigy Plush 30 amp Metal Head/Tail assemblys from Xheli (EXI brand) for $39
thats my mid range cheap set up. It works great. If you live in the USA get spare parts from xHeli . com- the EXI 450 parts are compatible.

The supplied main blades where not very good quality. Luckily I ordered some carbon blades as spares. Not complaining because price was fantastic. I have 100 flights up now and I am glad I bought my HK 450.

Hi, the.HK 450/500?, I am using flights in program called ClearView, and using it to learn to fly. The T-Rex, models I found the T-rex500 model, much easier to fly. I normally have real-time 100 % auto pilot / Alevator/Eleator set at 50 %How ever in the case of T-rex450 ?, I find it a lot harder to fly?, I have two have real-time set at 40 % and auto pilot Alevator/Eleator set at 60% .
I read one of the posts, said that the HK.**- 500 was only really suitable for hovering and doing circuits. Under no circumstances should you try to perform 3D? Well, frankly at the moment I will be very happy. Just be able to hover and do circuits??.
I purchased the HK450 with the recommended set up. (Turnigy E500, HXT900's, 2200mah 3s, etc) I had zero helicopter experience, and would recommend this kit over the 500. People say that the 500 is more stable, but it is also bigger, heavier, much more expensive up front, and much more expensive to maintain. For instance, you need two 3s batteries to fly one 4 minute flight, whereas the HK450 will go for 7 minutes on one of the 2200mah batteries. It is much more economical, and parts are cheaper when you do crash. My recommendation: Buy this kit and the recommended parts. Get a 11t pinion. Go to xheli. com and buy the EXI metal head and tail combo for 39.99, along with a variety of tail shafts and blades. If you are in the US, XHeli is the place to get parts. respond back or try to personal message me if you have any other questions. I would love to help. This heli is great.

In flight, this is fairly stable. It took my some time to figure out the gyro and flight settings, but now when i have a problem i know exactly where to look. Sure i crashed and had to order parts, but after 8-10 flights, I can fly crash free. the 450 is stable in the wind, and is (with practice) easy to hover. If you are learning to fly for the first time, make a big X out of two 2.5 foot long dowels (1/4 inch is good) with some 1.5 inch styro foam balls on the ends of the X, and then lash it onto the landing skids. This will save alot of crashes when you are learning. Trust me, it worked like a charm.

Halo HK Where can I get the manual parts of your HK 450. Some parts are not enough described in the web such as the bearings and I don't know which ones I really need. Thanks
Hi. HK -450 do you need to use E-ccpm All can you use M-ccpm As I find E- ccpm A bit difficult to understand? I have a spectrum D. X.7. Radio . With very little information in the manual? Hence my confusion?.
Kind regards, Bob.

HK450 is a eCCPM. In your DX7, you need to first select the 120 degrees swashplate function. The manual helped me alot setting mine up, and if you still confused go to ***********helifreak****/showthread.php?t=11373 and there are two videos labeled CCPM setup part 1 and 2. Watch those and they will walk you through the process. If that doesnt help, they have a specific video for the DX7 on this thread: ***********helifreak****/showthread.php?t=41692

Additional things you will need for this heli: -upgrade tail blades, the stock plastic ones arent big enough. -set of fiberglass blades (the 5 dollar 325mm blades from HK work GREAT) -40 amp ESC, 30 is too small -2200mah, 3s, 25C. The 20c Turnigy pack will puff up even after just hovering. -The Turnigy E500 motor works great but uses a lot of power. -Spare Parts. Order them now.

So far the 450 seems like a really nice heli for the money. I have not flown it yet, I am 90 percent done with the build. Upon intallation of the blades I noticed some dihedral in the rotor, I striped a main blade/feathering shaft scew in the process, anyone know the exact size of this screw? Going to replace it with better quality one, since this is another "oh jesus" screw!
12/10/2009 modeljunky73 (24%)
Hello all. Does anyone know exactly what size the main blade/feathering shaft screw is. I striped one while trying to eliminate dihedral in head. I think its in the blade grips. Would like to have a better quality screw for this, not only do they keep blades from flying off in flight, but if you cannot remove them, your head is pretty much ****!
8/10/2009 downloader (66%)
The stock blades are really ****py. If I put them on the heli, they form a V like dihhedral on the plane :D from closer examination, the blades are wrapped...

just ordered a hk 450.can someone tell me which additional items i will need? hh gyro,& gyro servo, servos,esc,batt,motor and gear, and any other items i will need to complete this heli. i am a newbee, and will appreciate any and all help. tnx frank
19/09/2009 Justin_urke (43%)
an esay way to get the HXT900s in the fram is to take the bottom off the servo and they slide right in. then screw it back from the other side of the frame.
18/09/2009 Remo (83%)
Where can i buy the servo ball links, which are not included in the kit?
mkplanes
(59%)
I ordered a pair of part number F038 from the HK450 parts list. In the discussion someone said it includes the ball links for 2 servos, so I ordered 2 of the parts F038. But hey guess what!!! they are out of stock. what else is new.

i have got this helly yestarday and i have got 5 boll links in it. So servo ball links is included in the kit.. You only need buy main pinion gear but it included in the recomended motor Turnigy E500 6T 4000Kv 200W Heli Motor. (and you need electronic stuff:RX/TX batterry, servos, gyro etc..)
16/09/2009 koyote (67%)
Ok, I ordered one of these little helis'.I am currently flying blade cp,blade 400 and ergo .60. I ordered the turnigy 2836 motor as well(on back order of course)and the turnigy sentry 40 amp esc. What do all of you think about the choice?

Hi, is the HK450 good training helicopter?, I am using flights in program called ClearView, and using it with a T-Rex450 with auto pilot/advanced and Aleron/elevator at 50% and no restriction on the tail. I am able to , Harbour reasonably well. But when I tried to do circuits on either hit the ground or lose control?, Or so, am looking for information on how to balance blades, and generally prepare my helicopter for a first light. Can anybody help??.
Kind regards, Bob.

???? why isn't this forum sorted by date, and time like every other forum? 14 july is at the bottom, and my (witch i finally found) is near the top with a 3 sept date. i don't understand. this is the hardest forum to navigate threw to get info on.
4/09/2009 shaggybirdman (67%)
so how does this forum work? i have posted 2 times, but both do not show. i'll try a 3rd time. what if any parts are exact fit from the trex 450 to this hk450?
3/09/2009 Thomas (63%)
Love the kit so far, but the ball links sure are loose. Anyone have a suggestion on what links I could buy to fix this problem? Cheers!
2/09/2009 shaggybirdman (67%)
is this a trex 450 clone? if not what parts will interchange with the trex 450? i want a bashing around heli. i don't want to destroy my trex trying new things.

Hi all, Sorry for re-posting but I am not sure how this forum works. Thank you all for very helpful comments. I would like to ask you to help also me if you can. I'm completely new to tis hobby, and just starting. I would like to buy the cheapest possible kit, that would still be possible to fly and have very still hovering. This way I would learn something while mounting, and than if something brakes I could easily repair...
I was about to order: HK-450 CCPM 3D Electric Helicopter Kit GR302-AD - Telebee Head Lock & Standard Gyro 4 x HXT900 9g / 1.6kg / .12sec Micro Servo Pinion Gear 2.3mm/0.4M 11T or 13T? ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 20C TowerPro H40A Brushless Speed Controller Turnigy Typhoon 2215H Brushless 450-Size Heli Motor 3550kv Turnigy 2S 3S Balance Charger Hobby King 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2) Hobby King 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx USB Cable for Win2000/XP
What do you think, would this be OK? Anything missing? Any suggestions to lower the price, or maybe to make it better and more stabile?
I just noticed that Speed Controller, Motor and battery Charger are out of stock :-( Maybe you can help me choose some different products, so I can order immediately?
