Yup, one thing I could never get any 450 to do good is piro tic tocs! But the sport holds through them no problem!!

Thanks,
Devin

hey guys. Would you say that this heli would be almost identical to a pro if you put a TT on it? It looks way cooler.

Speed Stick 3D · Aug 04, 2009, 10:55 PM

No, It has stacked frames, different head ratio.. not anything like the pro! And yes it does look cooler

carflyer · Aug 04, 2009, 11:04 PM

oh. thanks! do they fly much different? I've flown a friends pro and it was amazing, especially after a year on a stock blade 400!

Speed Stick 3D · Aug 04, 2009, 11:10 PM

I think it flies better than the pro.. but..

carflyer · Aug 04, 2009, 11:23 PM

Awesome! thanks! I know its different for everyone, but I think I'll get it and fly it stock ad then get a TT

Last week I upgraded a SE V2 to the V3 main rotor housing/ V2 main blade grips. The larger rotor disc made it feel like a larger heli to me! The V3 main rotor housing uses the Pro feathering shaft. Align.com.tw lists the Pro mainrotor diameter at 710mm and the Sport at 715mm. The difference is in the grips? V2 grips on the Sport [thats what they look like], Pro grips on the Pro. I will compare next time at the field.

Bert Kammerer mentions new mixing ratios for the 450 Sport. So I guess a V3 conversion does not make the SE quite a Sport or Pro. Now I'd like to know if the mixing ratios of the Sport is identical to the Pro.

Steph280 · Aug 05, 2009, 05:32 PM

I believe they are, based on the mixing arm length.

I think it just became available here:

I'm bringing this thread alive again because I have a Sport on the way, I'll post my impressions compared to the V2 I've owned and answer any questions between the two versions if interested. There's only a few threads for the Trex 450 Sport on RCG and I'd like to see a dedicated thread for it so, stay tuned...

Speed Stick 3D · Sep 22, 2009, 07:54 PM
