HK-550GT 3D Belt-Drive Electric Helicopter Kit (USA Warehouse)

HK-550GT 3D Belt-Drive Electric Helicopter Kit (USA Warehouse)
HK-550GT 3D Belt-Drive Electric Helicopter Kit (USA Warehouse)


Finally, a 550 class helicopter kit that won't break the bank! Modeled on the famous and proven T-Rex 550, the HK550GT will push your 3D skills to their limits.

This 550 size helicopter offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio that makes for stellar 3D performance. It utilizes the same power system as a 600/.50 size electric heli, but is lighter and spinning smaller blades, thus offering much higher performance and efficiency.

With its black anodized CNC alloy head & tail unit and beautifully finished carbon fiber frame, the HK550GT is as nice to look at as it is to fly. This kit has just about all the alloy upgrade parts you could want already installed such as battery mount plate, tail servo mount, tail pushrod guides, anti-rotation bracket base and main bearing blocks. There are very few plastic parts anywhere on this heli! 

The HK550GT uses high quality tail bearings and tight tolerances to ensure no slop in the tail assembly and locked-in tail performance for the most extreme of 3D flying.

This heli comes 90% pre-assembled so you can be in the air in no time. Just complete the final assembly,  add your favorite main blades, install your own electronics and your ready to fly!

Features:
• Black anodized CNC alloy head & tail unit.
• High-strength alloy main bearing blocks.
• Alloy battery mounting plate.
• Alloy tail servo mount.
• Beautifully finished carbon fiber main frames.
• High quality tail bearings and tight tolerances to ensure no slop in the tail assembly.

is it possible to convert this to TT using Align parts without having to do major mods? what about getting some helix gears in?
 deanross 56 points
Yes..very easy to do..No mods needed. Helix gears go with the Align 550 112 tooth main and the 11 tooth slant pinion. ( best to run that set up on a 1220 kv motor ) Align 600mx

On the tail drive shaft assembly. The gear on the drive shaft was held in place using only super glue. The drive shaft has a flat machined into it which would be used for a set screw to lock the gear to the shaft. But there is no set screw used, the gear is nylon there is no brass collar for a set screw. So the gear was just glued to the shaft. This started slipping on the very first minute of flight and I was hearing a clacking sound and loosing tail lock. Initially I wasn't sure what was wrong I thought maybe the belt was slipping and so I took the tail apart to make sure I'd assembled it correctly. The tail rotor blades are too narrow for the the tail blade root holders and I though maybe this was causing the clacking, I fabricated shims to correct that. But during hover the tail drive gear failed completely and the heli spun around and over on its side. I the found the tail drive gear had split in two. The clacking sound was the gear slipping on the shaft and the lump of super glue split the nylon gear. Total flight time about 6-8 minutes. In addition when I disassembled to main rotor completely and found two screw holes in the tower had no threads and were held with thread locker only.
