Convert 450 SE V2 to Flybarless ?

solentlife

Can anyone actually detail the whole matter of changing a FB 450 to FB'less 450 ... using a SE V2 as the type.

I realise that head needs change ... but what about the rest ? Gyro, Servo's etc.

A build thread would be great ....

There are many more out there but, this is Align and since your heli is Align, I would recommend this first.

oh, wait, you have a "clone", well, still will be best anyway.

good price also. Wink

well, when they came out they were $700.00
just think how cool your heli will look though, and it will fly much better too.
Just jokin'.....even if it is true. Yea, you have to be 1.) rich or 2.) really serious 'bout this hobby.

My ultimate aim is to fit a scale body and a 4 blade head .... I'm not at this time a 3D wannabee ...

I was flying a FP heli back 25yrs ago and I watched others with their scale machines .... something I have always wanted to do as well ....

3D is great and I am knocking it all .... but I don't think I can do it justice.

Get a Beast X, it's a 3 axis gyro so it takes care of the tail too. I just got done setting up one on my Velocity. 200 bucks, super easy to setup. No computer needed. It's not much bigger then my Spartan 760 I took off the tail.
Here is a little write up on doing it yourself.
