T-Rex - More parts ordered

Alright, more parts ordered. I have chosen the Futaba 9650 and GY401 gyro for my tail servo and gyro, this combination is the best for the Rex. The 9650 is a fast digital servo and the GY401 can be adjusted from the radio. There are plenty of other reasons why but that would be too much information.


I opted for a cheaper charger and battery combo. I will be learning how to fly this bird on these packs and won't really need the burst rates the some of the better packs offer when flying 3D. I chose the DN Power Combo that has a charger and balancer and comes with (2) 3S 2150mAh 15C Lipos.


I also ordered a bunch of odds and ends: velcro, wire loom for the servo wires, fun reflective tape for the rotor blades, more Deans connectors for the new battery's, and adapter for my charger to charge Thunder Power Battery, Deans solder, and a GY401 under the frame adapter.

I still need to buy a Transmitter (Radio)
