Does anyone know if there is a trex 550 download for the Phoenix 2.5 flight simulator?

Hi helimonkie80,

Welcome to the site.
Any reason you want the download for 2.5?
3.0 Beta is available for download and the Trex 550 is included!

I have tried it on the 3.0 beta and its ok.

Plus they have FBL versions now too

Welcome btw

[GPBill]

Yep, the 3.0c is working good.   
Like Jamin says, both versions of the 550 are there also.

Welcome to rcheliplanet.com

A Fun & Friendly RC Community!

We recognise the importance of dedicated support and the knowledge needed to fully realise the potential of any machine and RC Heli Planet is the place to come to learn more about RC Helicopters through sharing knowledge.

With 1000s of you out there who own RC Helis, this place was created where you can all come together and help each other learn without the bad attitude some other forums have. Oh, it's also a nice change from blue isn't it?

Forum rules: Treat each other with respect and remember that beginners are as important to this hobby as the experienced amongst us.

History

We began in 2006 as thetrex600forum.com and quickly grew. We then changed to thetrexforums.com in order to accommodate all of the models in the Align RC range. Now our final change has come and we look to the future with great confidence as we now support all RC helis and everything to do with them

The below responses are from 2006 onwards.

Lets have fun!!

Wow this place is kinda like a black hole, it's swallowed up the whole heli planet & no one's been heard from ever since!!

[RC HELI PLANET]

Yeh, we get a lot of visitors but nobody's posting anymore.

Too many complaining and nobody contributing.

We'll be closing this month.

Wow again thats really bad news I was quite excited about having someone to chat with now & then
about heli's & stuff , hope youdon't think I was complaining I was trying to make a joke, I like your forum
& I'm sure everyone will realize what they've lost when it's gone. then thats how the saying goes isn't it
Well I think you did a good job setting all this up & hope you have sucsess in whatever you do in the future 
                  Regards,  Les

[RC HELI PLANET]

No, wasn't aimed at you, or anyone really, Les

Lots of big forums online with lots of chat. This place has a lot of solid info which is why everyone is just viewing these days. The chat has gone

It's dying and it's time to close.

Very proud of this place but enough is enough.

I'll announce it properly when I get time.

[jurgenw]

Now this is a real shame!     

Sorry Sy and thank you for all the effort over the years. I've enjoyed this forum for quite a while now. 

Any chance you could dump the site onto a free host or something, maybe just losing the domain name? Or get one of the other bigger forums to take over the posts as a kind of archive function (as you say there is a wealth of knowledge in here)?? 

Now I'm going to have to find a new site to check on at lunch times...

[Surri]

That's bad news Sy; too bad. However "we" may contributed to this unfortunate situation.

Cheers (hopefully not the last time) - Surri

[jamin_00]

Oh damn it.

Sorry to read this sy and in part feel partly to blame as I not been around for a little while lately.

[RC HELI PLANET]

Nobody is to blame bud. I'm the one that kept the fires going but recently my interests have dropped off.

I'd keep it going but most of what gets posted is "why's it so quiet"

It's not costing me much now it's on a lesser server.

I might keep it as view only so the info isn't lost. Or I might leave it for the next year!

[GPBill]

Yeah, let's see what's happening next year this time.
