training landing ball for Trex

[sakuragi001]

Hi Guys,

Anyone knows where I can get a set of training landing ball for the Trex 450XL HDE? been trying to look around but rotor does seem to have a trainer kit for the Trex.

[awesome]

maybe just post in the market place..most ppl will just chuck it aside after they know how to hover..

but then...trex is pretty stable so ppl might not need it..

Training Skids

Hi sakuragi001,

Training skids are very easy to DIY. I have started a thread on how to DIY you own training skids.

Please refer to the photos toward the end of the thread where I posted improved design which makes the training skids detachable and the wire ties can be reused.

This is the thread:

For Trex, everyone I know DIY their training skids.

Really easy. The simpliest way is to get a 3mm carbon rod from rotor, cut into 2 halfs, then use wire ties to tie to to the heli. Pin Pong balls from Popular, get 4 of them and fix them up. 10 minutes job.

I don't remember seeing any LHS which sells the training skids for Trex. They do have for smaller heli like the Honey Bee which is not suitable.

There are commerical ones, I got one free when I bought my trex, but trust me, it sucks. The moment that I tried to push the plastic thing into the landing skid, it broke off totally. one word "LOUSY"!

Well, it looks like i'll hve to look around for some craft shop for this DIY kit then.
