Align Trex 550X build Part 2 of 3 in 4K

[@geoffpaten3705]

I'm so glad I found your channel I was just about to give up the sport cos where I live no one wants to help so thanks for the build it has helped me out so much 😊 🙂

[@rcflightz2058]

I hope it helps, help is scarce n my area as well so I try to pass along the stuff it took me 15 years to figure out. Thanks for checking out the channel!

Great videos, very helpful, was struggling with the manual and glad I stumbled across your videos.

[@rcflightz2058]

Thank you, it took me some builds to get confident…then I thought…why not share your techniques you spent so much time learning and developing. I think the manuals are good…but found several elements confusing…it’s a great hobby…if my videos help other progress in the hobby, it makes them all worth it. Thanks for tuning in!

Excellent video Building my 550X today

[@rcflightz2058]

Thank you, absolutely love my 550x…enjoyed building it. Feel free to message me through Facebook if there’s anything your unsure about, enjoy the build. Thanks for tuning in!

good stuff, i just picked up a 470LT myself and can't wait to start the build.

[@rcflightz2058]

I like the 470…what did you think?

[@bryanthompson2539]

Sweet video RCFlightZ. Clear instructions and guidance with good lighting. I also like your intro to the video, pretty professional. Can't wait for the flight vid!

[@randymanx2674]

Small parts trays, great idea.

[@rcflightz2058]

It’s the little stuff😎

[@michaellafebre3951]

You glued the torque tube bearing close to the neutral point. manual says the glue it 5-7cm closer to the front from the neutral point.

[@rcflightz2058]

Wow, nice catch…I’ll reset that next time I’m working on it. Really nice catch!!!

[@leebr1212]

Very details guidance and clear each steps, well done !

Do you have video 3 of 3? I have my 550x built and need help getting the Head set up with my Ikon2.....

[@katpis9121]

Hey quick question is there any way to adjust the motor pinion and main gear mesh? I purchased this heli used and the main gear has a ton of back lash. Looking at the motor plate I can’t see anywhere to allow for and aft movement of the motor

[@rcflightz2058]

I believe there is a little wiggle room using the motor mount screws to the frame

[@FranksModelAviationWorkshop]

Did you show how to program the bl100a ESC?

[@rcflightz2058]

I didn’t do a video on that, they’re are a bunch of videos on that already. I did do a video on my remote settings. Thanks for tuning in!

[@rhipp100]

Confusion on my part, reference the Align 100A esc on page three line c is plugged into the rec throttle channel, Can I assume line b is plugged into the BeastX 5.2 top port for power or the receiver in a spare channel. Line A the yellow wire is not used? The MB manual is confusing me it's showing two power supplies one to the receiver and one to the MB

[@rcflightz2058]

I gave up on MB…went Ikon II…piece of cake, never looked back. Thanks for checking out the Chanel!

[@rhipp100]

@@rcflightz2058 The wires on the esc where did you hook the three signal wires to?

[@rhipp100]

What esc programmer did you use?

[@rcflightz2058]

I used the Hobbywing but you can also use the Align. Thanks for tuning in!

[@declde]

I'm building a 550x as well but can't fit the main gear to the shaft, I don't see you do this in the video. The manual says to use both spacers, did you use both?

[@declde]

@@rcflightz2058 Just fixed it with just the 0.3mm spacer, thanks :)

[@ShiftKoncepts]

Is there a part 3?

[@rcflightz2058]

Unfortunately no, I needed to get the helicopter flying and just didn’t cover the actual electronics install…the test video does cover the FBL and settings. Thanks for tuning in!
