Good comments there raptor50luvver

The MD fuz is a good intro to scale, cheap and gives excellent results.

exactly,its a pretty simple build process and is far cheaper than the Century 50 size pre painted fuselages

As you said,it gives and excellent overall result when flying

BLADES???????????

Ok, now heres the question...

Those who used the TITAN, u running 620's? or all running 600's?

will the 620's hit the tail?

The 620`s will not hit the tail,the fuselage was primarily designed for the Titan and you still use the standard Titan Boom#

The upright tailfin bolts to the tail gearbox the same way as the standard pod n boom fixture so its far enough away

Have any of you guys had this happen?

Wow, how did that happened? Did normal flying vibration did that? Im going to have to check mine.

The road less traveled is less traveled for a reason, duh.

MD530

ON THE MD530 DOES THE BELT NEED CHANGING
DUE TO THE SHORTING OF THE BOOM

You use the appropriate belt for whichever boom you use

ie a Titan belt with a Titan boomed 50 or a normal belt with the standard 50 boomed heli

Depends on which heli you use as the basis for your fuselage
either will do

Muffler Q:

I have an older (2yrs) 50V2 with a TT50/stock muffler...will I need a new muffler to fit the MD-530 fuse kit? ...also, what's with the white paddles? I have stock on the one I'm putting the fuse on, but green on my 3D machine. What's best for the scale one?

-Toolman

The stock TT muffler will fit just fine. You will need a long exhaust tube to route the exhaust toward the back. I used the white paddles because I do mild 3D with mine. Black paddles would be good for realistic scale flight and will be a lot more stable.

The road less traveled is less traveled for a reason, duh.

I'd go black as my first choice on a scale machine, white as my second.

RAPPY 30 IN MD530 FUSE

just to help anybody wanting to put the rappy 30 in this fuse, i did it ,i put a titan boom and belt on my 30 ,made my own tail control rod and mounted the tail servo on the boom . i also used 600mm rappy 50 blades and carbon tail blades from a 50 . my rappy 30 weighed 6lbs to start with and now in the fuse weigh's 8.5 lbs it looks like it will weigh loads more due to the physical size increase(see pic) but its not that bad at all . i was gonna put a 50 engine in it but found the irvine 39 abc which was already in my 30 had plenty of power. i run it on 25% or 20% which ever i can get at my local shop.both give it excelent cooling . maybe a 50 would be nescasary if you intend doing 3d but with scale i cant see why you would want that?.

all in all it flies great with ample power .GO FOR IT!!
