Two flights, nothing extreme and no crashes. I noticed excessive vibe in head. Too much slop in swashplate in between ball and "nylon"(assuming nylon) bushing. Ordered Align swash replacement.  I have to say though, for the price Exi 450 V2 Aluminum is a really good Heli....Just thought the info might be useful to someone else..

Same here. I had about 40-50 flights and numerous crashes on my TEREXI 450 and there was so much slop, I changed mine out to an Align unit also. It had actually worn grooves in the aluminum ball in the center! Soft metal I guess.

The swash plate is one of the first changes you'll want to make. However, 2 flights? Does the heli vibrate a lot? Just making sure it's not a deeper problem.

both exi kits i put together the flybar was not centered which made paddles off. steel ruler or digital calipers (prefered) will tell the tale

Which of the Align swashes fit the EXI 450 V2? Will the Sport/Pro version be a direct replacement? Don't know why I feel I should already know the answer to this question ... long day I guess

So far ...so good. It was a much "tighter" fit from the git-go. But I haven't been able to get much stick time since it'S SNOWING in Lafayette, LA!

I can tell you for a fact that it's bad to drive in Lafayette in the snow. Not cause you can't, but cause too many people never have.

 My EXI had a bad set of stock blades out of the box, one was a little bowed, I put CF"s on and no more vibes. Really happy with it.

Taxes are real high here in Cal, but the weather's good now that it stopped rainin!

I here you! I'm using the cheap Xheli fiberglass blades and it's kind of hit and miss. I had 2 pair that balanced perfect right out of the box and 2 other sets that were way off. Took a lot of tape to balance.

 I have a couple of CF sets on the way that I can't wait to try.

You guys in Cal have it rough. Wild fires, mudslides, flooding, high taxes, the Govenator, pretty women......., legal
