| Brand new from Hobby City is the HK 600GT. It is a clone of the very popular T-Rex 600. I think this heli is very important for anyone looking to move up to the 600 Size class but doesn't wish to spend alot of money on the kit. In its stock form, I don't feel this is a very good heli for hardcore 3D, but for anyone interested in doing Aerial Photography/Videography, Scale flight or just basic flight, then this heli is for you. |
| Transmitter You will need at least a 6ch Radio System. I use a 9ch JR X9303 Transmitter. |
| Brushless Motor I am using an E-Sky 1200kV E-Smart Motor with a 14t pinion. Works great for basic flight. |
| Brushless ESC I plan on using a large ESC, a TURNIGY K-Force 150A OPTO 2-6S Brushless ESC This is HUGE! |
| Head Holding Gyro There are lots of HH gyros available. I use Futaba GY401's on my HK 600GT's. |
| LiPo Battery I will be using a 6S 5000mAh 25-30C. Buy the Highest "C" rated battery you can afford. |

| Receiver You need a Full Range Receiver like the AR6200, AR7000, etc. Do Not use the AR6100/6110 for this Heli. I use an AR6200. |
| Blades The HK 600GT does not come with main blades. I use these TIG 600mm Carbon Fiber Z-Weave Blades from HobbyCity |
| (3) Standard Size Servos The cyclic servos must be "standard size" There are lots of choices. I use HiTech HS-422's |
| Tail Servo You need a fast tail servo. So I will be using a Futaba 9254 Servo |
| BEC The ESC I am using does not include a BEC so I will be using this seperate TURNIGY 5-7.5A (8~42v) HV UBEC |

| The first version HK 600GT has a few parts that are known to fail so I will be upgrading a few things before I actually fly mine. I bought some Genuine Align T-Rex 600 Parts from Ron's HeliProz South to replace the defective HK original parts. |
| Tail Drive Gear This part MUST be replaced prior to flying. The stock gear is known to fail in flight. |
| Landing Skids There have been a few reports of skids breaking on landing, Align skids are cheap and much stronger, get some. |
| Flybar Cage The stock flybar cage is a bit short and needs shims to correct it. The best thing to do is get an Align Flybar Cage. |
| Main Gear Most kits come with warped main gears. They work but can cause vibrations. Get a set of Align Gears. |
| Autorotation Gear Most kits come with warped auto rotation gears. They work but can cause vibrations. Get a set of Align Gears. |
| Servo Plates These aid in the mounting of the servos, The HK 600GT doesn't come with any of these. |
| When you decide you need a helicopter of a much higher level of quality, Ron's HeliProz South has you covered. Check them out. |
