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
- 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!
- 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.
- 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
- 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
Electronics with Orange Receiver - Main head block seems bent
