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

    • Came with Ar8000. I traded that one for some nice parts
    • Came with 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
  • 6ch Orange DSM2 Receiver (for testing and adjustments)

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
