Hi,

I'll order a Mini Titan in few days, and I wanna know what do you think about this heli. I read a lot on this heli, like in Rchelimag.comSome photos, problems, like, dislike, where you bought it and all. I'll join my voice when I'll receive it. What I want to order is a RTF combo that I found on ebay. From flying-hobby. Your turn.!

I have a Mini Titan---had it about 3 weeks-- love it!! I also have a Trex, and by comparison the Mini Titan is much more docile. Stability in hover is very good. All Ive done is fast forward flight so I cant speak to aerobatic ability, I assume that it will not be as agile as the Trex. I do like the stability, the deign is good also. Im sure some issues will evidence themselves but they will be addressed by users/aftermarket suppliers. I think it is an excellent value and a better choice for the pilot of limited experience. I dont know about getting an ARF, too often low quality sub components are in them. Be sure to get at a minimum, a Futaba 401 gyro, Tower Pro 9G servos or better, JRs are better. Im using a JGF 450th motor and love it. An align 430L or XL would also probably work well. Use a helicopter specific 35 amp ESC 40 amp or so would also be good, the Align is what Im using ( had it), and a decent 1800 to 2100mah lipo. (Thunder Power, Electrifly, or others). Most importantly, Have Fun!!

Hey just bought a MT and I am almost finished puttin' her togeather. Components all seem quality and precise. I like the tail design(slideout bulkhead with tail gear).
I went with:
gy401
short on cash so no digital tail servo yet. I decided to try the waypoint W-092SH very fast analog servo for <$20. (.09sec @ 4.8v; fastest analog servo to my knowledge) The tourqe is less than half that of the S-9254 but I also have a bit of curiousity to test this servo out. also I no stick banger so hopefully the tourqe will not be any issue.
hs-65(mg) for swash
ace 40a SC & TT obl outrunner (stock from TT kit)
ar6100

I have ordered one cheapo 3s pack to try with the stock power train & am going to get a 4s pack and a z-pow' 450th outrunner. I have been reading up about 4s setups and I want to see what kind of flight times the 450th/4s combo will yeald, as I have heard many reports of short flight times with the stock MT.
I will report my progress as it unfolds.

Also I have heard this heli is very capable of all 3d. I keep hearing the word "smooth" when people describe the Mini Titans' flight character. I am so excited to fly this thing. I hope to get first test flight by the end of the weekend.

Guizmo17 , I purchased mine from http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/10640 best price I could find $199 for kit/motor/esc. They also carry all parts.

Happy flying!
, Noah

Well,
I havent even had my MT in the air yet and its broke!

I was soooo close.
Yesterday I programmed the esc and that went smooth. Spooled up a few times and then went on to setting up my gy401. well I went to plug in the pack after making some adjustments to the tail servo & ....
No tones from the esc. I checked and rechecked everything. tried to go into the programming mode, Nothing. the thing is dead. Well so I went to LHS and tested and confirmed that the esc was dead, so I bought a cstle creations Pheonix 35. I just finished programming the Pheonix and ererrrr errerrr. The motor doesnt spin up. It just tuns a bit and crys.

So it looks like the TT obl brushless motor that came in my kit is bad and that it fried my esc.

So I think I have decided that I am going to with a totally different power train. I will run the CC Pheonix 35, a medusa 3a external bec, 4s 14.8v packs, justgoFly 450th 3000kv outrunner.
I will be sending the TT obl motor and ace esc back for a replacement and will sell them both when the new ones arrive. (anyone interested in the motor and esc can PM me)

Well I will give an update when my motor comes in the mail.

Wow ! I'm not a programing guy, i have a blade cp and the program is all set IN the Tx. So i never program or never saw a real program in action, thats why my mini Titan is RTF from flying-hobby.com. I will check note and recheck every time i do my own program. I'm just hoping i dong crash it right the first time i fly.

Guizmo1,
Yea I have a bcpp and you will really appriciate that futaba radio when you get your heli. There is more than a lot to be said for a programmable radio. and folks around the forums are always willing to offer help. Hopefully flying-hobby has really set the heli up well for you. I would suggest watching all of finless bob's videos on helifreak.com in order to familiarize yourself with this class heli better and help get a better understanding of the Tx & gyro programming. Even though this stuff will be setup for you; knowing what to change if you dont like something about how the heli flies is very important. Tx programming is not that complicated. It is just foreign and takes a little time to "get it". I really learned the most by disconnecting the motor and then making changes and then observing what changed with the servo movements. Play around with the settings and observ very closely and soon you will totally realize how each setting will affect flight.
Anyways congrats on your mini titan and lets us know when you get your first flight in. If you can fly a Blade heli you will fly this heli just fine. It is much bigger heavier and more stable. MUCH

Noah

Sure i can fly my Blade Cp While i wait my MT I continuing to do small 3d on it. I'm just hopping to receive it this week. He didn't gave me a good tracking number so I don't know exactly where is my shipment. But its Ups express so maybe this week. I have Realflight too and guy made a 3d model of the mini titan in the sim. Pretty cool, i'm praticing in this too. I'm so exited to have this heli, on CPU and in real life (well not yet). I will keep you inform.

Where can i find the videos you talking? Can't find them.

url plz

Ok here is an update.
I am finished with my build now.

Final equipment:
-HS-65mg for swash
-Ar6100 spectrum Rx
-justgofly 450th outrunner 3000KV
-CC Pheonix 35 esc
-Medusa 3mp BEC
-Futaba GY401 gyro
-Waypoint 092SH analog servo (low on funds and decided to take a gamble)
-Stock blades for now, I will probably put some radixs' on there before to long.
Every thing else is stock TT mini titan for now also. I will probably look to get a few certian al head parts when they are avaliable.

I will be flying a couple of hextronik 14.8v 4s 2200mAh 20c lipo's for now to see how I like the high volt setup. Then, if I do, I will lighten her up with some 4s TP prolites (which @ 160grams are lighter than most of the high C-rated 3s packs many guys are using) Also flightpower is supposed to comming out with the evo lite series @ 18C soon.

Here's some pics

Please any input, Opinions, advice, ect. about my build are well appriciated. Thanks, Noah
