This documents the Align T-rex 500 FBL I bought 2nd hand =Parts= * Align t-rex 500ESP with 500 3G FBL modification ** Motor: Align RCM-BL500MX ** Servos (collective): 3x Align DS-510 ** Servo (tail): Align DS-650 ** ESC: Castle Link Phoenix ICE 75 ** Batteries: 2x Turnigy 6s 3.0 Ah ** Still needed: *** Receiver *** FBL controller **** Receiver and FBL controller can be combined as Spektrum AR7200BX (AR7100 + BeastX) *** Satellite receiver: helicopter of size 500 and bigger need an extra receiver because the helicopter may shield or interfere with the reception of the main receiver. *** Plugs for batteries and esc * Spektrum DX8 [[File:Spektrum_DX8.JPG|thumb]] ** AR8000. I traded that one for some nice parts ** Spektrum TM1000 *** The only sensor included is the tempature sensor (which I don't really need) *** To be fully useful I need a cable from the TM1000 to the receiver (for power and receiver telemetry), a battery voltage sensor and an RPM sensor. * XT60 connectors (5 pairs) * Turnigy MAX200W Battery charger. Buyer beware: tends to blow up! [[File:Turnigy_MAX200W.JPG|thumb]] * HobbyKing 350W 13.8V Power supply * SPMA9570 Aircraft Telemetry Flight Pack Voltage Sensor * SPMA9558 Aircraft Telemetry Brushless RPM Sensor * SPMA9550 2.5" Aircraft Telemetry Data Lead * SPM9645 DSMX Remote Receiver * 6ch Orange DSM2 Receiver (for testing and adjustments) * Training gear =Tools= In this section I only list the new tools I got for this project. [[File:Phicoh_Copter_Tools.JPG|thumb]] * Home made bit screwdriver * PB 2.5mm hex and PB 2.5mm ball hex (part of the AR8000 trade) * Blade balancer * Prop balancer (also part of the AR8000 trade) * Ball link pliers * Swash plate leveler * Blade pitch gauge * Castle Link USB programming interface * Knife blades (also for blade balancing) =Work= * Battery charger blew up when I connect a battery for the first time ** [[User:Erwin-c64|Erwin-C64]] helped my with replacing the fuse (with a poper fuse holder and now an 8A fuse, should actually be 10A or more) and the MOSFET that had a short circuit. * Soldering XT60 connectors to batteries and ESC * Soldering battery voltage telemetry to ESC * Soldering motor RPM telemetry to ESC [[File:Phicoh_Copter_Test_Electronic.JPG|thumb|Electronics with Orange Receiver]] * Main head block seems bent
