T-Rex 450 Fuse tips?

[toolguy420]

Greetings...I just ordered a HeliArtist Hughes MD500E fuse for one of my 'Rex 450s. Would anybody have some pointers/tips/tricks for a first-time scale fuselage flyer? Anything on this specific fuse would be appreciated, as well as any set-up, equipment or modification info. Thanks for all replies...

Sorry you had to wait so long for a reply but I just registered on this forum and I'm in the same situation you were 3 months ago. I found this great write-up with photos about a Heliartist build:

I really like his yellow fuselage without the black lines around the doors and other panels. As far as I can tell, Heliartist, Just-Heli, and Align branded fuselages are all the same. I think I'm going with this fuselage:

Here are some photos on another forum of a Heliartist 500d with the black lines that I don't like. On the other hand, it's got a 5-blade head that I really like.

Hope I'm not too late.
