T Rex CCPM swash from Align
I'm seeing that Align makes a CCPM swash for the t rex. But I don't see a stock servo setup for the t rex that supports ccpm. Does Align make the necessary parts for the t rex ccpm? In other words, is it possible to get a ccpm t rex with 100% Align parts? If not, who does Align expect is making the mods to support ccpm?

RE: T Rex CCPM swash from Align
I purchased the Align 120' swash and a new frame that I could play with to come up with a good servo setup for CCPM. From what the local Align distributor has told me there is a CCPM frame in the pipeline but don't expect anything soon from them. The uMicroheli TRex CCPM CF frame that should be released soon is the best offering I've seen so far but for now I'm quite happy with my quick and dirty CCPM servo setup.
I'll post pix in the next 20 min of the setup I'm using.

RE: T Rex CCPM swash from Align
The topic is CCPM frames from Align.
Absolutely, they have been pouring out upgrades and I've been snapping them up each time they come out with them....just not a CCPM frame as yet. Align in TW and the local distributor here in AU have been in step with new product releases by about two to three weeks which has been excellent for us. The chap who runs the AU distribution is good friends with the CEO of Align RC and often gets small samples of new products the moment they come out with them in Taiwan. That's why I've had my CCPM swash for weeks now. I don't need to look anywhere else for Align gear.

some pix of the ccpm mod. gyro is now mounted in the front where the servo's used to sit. Trextuning.com mentioned that the default position can lead to the gyro getting destroyed in a crash.

Align's new metal control arms and new head with four rather than two o-rings are still sitting in their boxes waiting to be put in. Weekend job.
