Just wondering if the swashplate lasts very long before developing slop in the bearing or anywhere else for that matter? as I am looking to replace mine on my Trex 450 se and wondered if it would fit as the beam seems to be a quality Heli.

You will be very happy with the Beam swashplate, or you could just get an entire Beam. The main reason I got rid of my Trex 450 was the slop in the swash. The really nice thing about the Beam swashplate is that it's serviceable, you can take it apart and change whatever parts you need to change. You can also set the ball, by that I mean you can sand the plastic uniball guides and set how tight you want it.

That being said, I have quite a few flights on my current Beam and the swash shows no signs of loosening. It still flies very nice.

To hover is divine, the alternative is rather PLANE.

Yep, the swashplate does fit perfectly on the T-Rex. The tailcase does as well. After seeing how nice they were when building my Beam I got extras to use on the T-Rex I put in the Hughes 500 fuselage. Everything is sooooo much tighter!

I replaced the swash bearing to NSK one. The original one still good though. If you see the slop on the swash center ball replace the ball guarder.
