We have all seen some of the phenomenal helicopter pilots doing wild 3D maneuvers with Aligns Trex 450 Pro, they are impressive. Recently, I have seen many people flying scale helicopters and enjoying the real helicopter look of the models while flying around the flying site. Align has a very nice Hughes 500e scale helicopter conversion for the T-REX 450SE. The question was will it also work with the new 450 Pro? The answer is yes, but it does require a couple minor modifications. The needed changes were not difficult but might require a couple things not included in the kit. Basically, it requires two small pieces of 1/8 inch plywood cut to fit the 450 Pro landing gear mounting, a new tail rotor pushrod and two standoffs for the vertical stabilizer mount. Our video will highlight these items. Also the finished helicopter is somewhat tail heavy so rather than add lead weight I suggest using the E-flite 3200mAh 3S li-po battery which is somewhat heavier than the recommended 2100mAH battery. Ultimately it flies very nicely and is still capable of performing basic aerobatic maneuvers.
When it is completed the new fuselage conversion of the T-REX 450 Pro makes a striking appearance in the air. The video will show you exactly how to get your own together without any problem.

Where can I find this fuselage these days. It has been more than a decade since this video was posted and those links don't work any more. Any one has a location to pinpoint to buy this type of fuselages for these heli size? Thanks and cheers to everybody.
🇮🇩👍🏻 Awesome
Not bothering to wipe away the excess glue on the tail then.
Ah so that's how they do it I've been trying to figure out how to make an Apache so I need a large high quality helicopter and then I'll have to fit the guts into an Apache fusilage 👍
Too bad these are not available anymore, i'm just getting started with 450 helis
Is this similar to the one from Hobbyking?
hi i have the scale md 500e 450 size and I just need to buy the mechanics. can you tell me what is the proper t-rex 450 flybarless that i need to buy for this model?
Where can you get the stand-offs for the vert stab?
Where can I get one for gasser 700 size
Where can I get one for gasser 700 size
hate to be picky but the nose looks wrong. a real 500e has a pointy nose.
will this work for the blade 450?
Valeu ótimo vídeo ! you are nice man !!
Safety First Horizon Hobby! Starting up the heli on a bench??
would everyone flag this..it not that i do not have faith…but there is no need to this spam…
Congratulations!!! Incredible video. Tank you, Sir. Waldir Santos Brito Júnior .·.
I wish that all manufactuors would show the hellecopters flying ing out side so we could see what king of hight the copter can go I fly out side 90% of the time. Replys welcome.
John from Canada
how much did it cost you?
Good vid. I have heard that copters are the most difficult to control..
Looks like you have to make your own modification to the mounting blocks that came with the fuselage kit from what i understand, i used to buy those carbon rods from Tower Hobbies when I was deeply into heli…7 yrs ago- i'm sure it's available.
@aenitro
Wow never got a response to my question 🙁
What other bodies are available from you guys?
I love Horizon,,I sent my dx6i in for repairs and they sent me a brand new one,,and with a new reciever,,,HOW THE HELL CAN YOU NOT LIKE THEM,,ole fart Jim
Where can I find these updated height blocks (single holes) and the carbon fiber pushrod? I check Horizon Hobby's site but didnt find anything.
Thanks
will this work with any 450 heli?
nice
i just ordered my 500d 450 size for my 400 and its really nice.. i had a question what did u use or recommend to use for the support on the boom in the fuselage to keep it from vibrating? i herd something about a foam but i dont know what they mean by this and u did not show this in your demonstration?
@leostyle7771 I don't know as we don't carry that line of helis or accessories, sorry.
hello i was wondering where can i find this model for my Axe 400 mini helicopter. i saw a kit for it. but it was not fully assembled like the one u have i would love to get this same one can u tell me where?? thanks
Hey where can I find the extra long tail rudder pushrod at?
@samanthms123 Sam, please e-mail me at the address listed in the "More Info" section and I will see if I can follow up with them. If you can forward the original e-mail you sent them to me that would be helpful too. We'll do what we can to help you out.

Cool video!…I have just fitted an E-Sky Belt CP into the exact same fuselage, maiden flight coming soon.
Pretty sweet set up! I like it!
@Billy145891 I saw one at E-Fest, somebody has the 5 Blade Rotor. I think the dash number we had in Viet Nam was 4 bladed rotor…anybody know this one?
@DarthTedd Yes me to, I just found that the orginal manufacturer has a video showing their Jet Ranger with TREX doing all sort of 3D manuevers. Just does not seem right!
first rater
@minix97 actually i was just finised the vid
