This is the Align 3G 3-axis flybarless system for the T-Rex 500. Here's your chance to join the flybarless revolution! It's hard to find anyone these days who hasn't heard of the benefits of going flybarless on an RC helicopter. Whatever your flying style, Sport, 3D or Scale, you no longer have to loose stability to gain responsiveness when setting up your heli. A flybarless system allows you to dial up exactly the right amount of stability and agility to perfectly match your flying style. With a flybarless system you can have the best of both worlds at the same time! The removal of the flybar and paddles also results in fewer rotating parts greatly reducing drag and increasing power available to the main rotor blades. With less rotor system area to move through the air the helicopters movements in all directions and attitudes are greatly enhanced. With the swashplate connected directly to the blade grips there is an added improvement of reducing transmission delays which results in a more connected and responsive feel for the pilot. The 3G is a 3-axis system so in addition to stabilizing both pitch and roll it also includes an integrated tail rotor gyro to stabilize and control the rudder. This internal gyro is based on the popular high performance Align GP780 tail gyro.

While most systems include only the electronics, the Align 3G system is a complete flybarless conversion kit in a single package. It contains everything you need to convert your T-Rex 500 to flybarless operation. The 3G includes the 3-axis gyro and control unit, rotor head, swash follower,  push rods and new Futaba and JR servo wheels.

Note:

The 3G flybarless system will also work on other helicopters that use a 8mm mainshaft.

Features:

  • 3-Axis gyroscopic flybarless system to simulate the stabilty of a mechanical flybar system yet at the same time achieving agile 3D performance
  • Ulitilizes Silicon Micro Machine (SMM) sensors for excellent stability
  • 12 bit processors providing ultra high resolution, resulting in highly presice controls
  • Software upgradable through PC interface adapter (sold separately)
