Can someone give me part numbers for everything needed to stretch E5 to E6? Would sure make life easy

FBLRotors actually has a couple stretch kits. I recommend the tail ratio upgrade as well. Just copy/paste the part name to get the actual part number. I could swear he also had longer boom support rods, I bought them from somewhere...

It looks like E6 parts are a bit harder to find than E7 parts.  As long as you are cutting to appropriate length, either E6 or E7 parts should work, but longer E7 parts may be $1 to $2 more expensive per part.

1) E6 Boom (part 615-140) -- I cut mine from the original 770mm down to 700mm.
2) E7 boom supports (part 315-117) -- I cut mine down to 500mm.
3) E6 TT (part 320-501) -- I cut mine from the original 760mm down to 689mm.
4) E7 Tail control rod (part 315-111) -- cut to length
5) Consider the 4.5:1 tail gear ratio (54T Spur Gear part 320-154 and 12T Spur Gear  part 320-112)

There are Stretch specific parts.  As follows:


Boom 305-600
Pushrod 305-602
Torque Tube 305-601


I used the existing E5 boom supports.  There is not a stretch version of those.


Don't forget the pushrod ends if you need them.


Curmudgeon gave you the part numbers for the tail gear ratio change.  I do suggest that this be done.  I have tried it both ways.
