tony2lee Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hi Would anyone know where I can get a scale kit for an old bird (align Trex 500esp) I have had it years and have not flown for some time. i would really like to put a scale kit on it to give it a little more presence in the air and also make it easier for my ever decreasing eyesight to see. ideally I would like to stick to the standard kit but was not sure on any modifications needed . many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had anything scale on a 500. I have had the Align MD on a 600 in the past and quality wise found it pretty good, but there is not much available in the shops currently. For visibility I do now fit foam swimming pool noodles on the skid pipes similar look to floats improves being able to see the heli much better for orientation.
