Well Bad news today. My Waypoint tail servo didnt have a 6v rating for a reason I think. Probably because they catch on fire at 6v. Well I tried to save a buck and now its on to a futaba digital..... I will be adding some radix blades and a futaba tail servo this week. So I will post some results once I get things switched around.
Also anyone else flying one of these thing would you mind posting your swash setup. I am particularly interested in how many degrees of swash angle you have on your cyclic. I heard that 8 degrees is a max for the trex450. However this thing has doggish cyclic response with this swash angle. I flew it for a while with about 20 degrees and it rolled nicely. However I am afraid to get blade stall at full pitch so I am back down on the swash mix for now.

OK, I have a little update. CF blades rule. I have not had a chance to do much flying with them yet. but I hover tested last night. I put some radix CF 325mm mains on. The average amp draw dropped & from what I can tell from the eagle tree data before I was drawing ~180mAh for 1 minute of hovering in normal mode. With the new blades it was down to ~140mAh. I couldnt believe the differnce. The heli also seemed more responsive and more stablein hover. I love these blades...
Also I replaced my cooked tail servo with a futaba S9650. I like it so far but havent had a chance to test it out in backwards flight yet.
heres the eagle tree chart from my test hover with the radix blades: RPM sensor was buggin out ???

Oh...My MT has had her maiden crash.... And it was a real smack down. I will be changing a few things I think in the rebuild so I will post when back in the air. Really loving the radix blades & the 9650.... gy401&s9650 are A+++++++++ Also is anyone else out there on RCU flying one of these??? Or are guizmo17 & I alone. damage report: blades, flybar, paddles, flybar control frame, spindle, main shaft, main gear, rotor head, blades grips, & pretty much every control link...err Hit hard inverted. Pics of the carnage.
I'm sorry for you man ! But it's part of the game. I sure i will crash it more then now, but i'm hoping it will not before long time. I made a little video on youtube here next week a in flight vid.
Yeppeeeeee! Here a new video In board cam Powershot A450. Only strap with rupper. I will make more movies. I love this heli. In few weeks i'm planning 3d.
Well its a small digital camera from canon. Nothing wireless, just the cam attach under the heli. It fly great on over but today i will try again the wind is more calm.

OK guys, I've got a question for you all.I'm looking int getting one of these and I'm up in the air between this and a T-rex. I am new to helis after flying planes for a while and started off last year with a Blade CX. Have been flying on the sim for a few months and do ok. I have a Raptor 50 that I've had a few flights on, but basically just getting used to it with hovering and basic FF. I want to get into something that i can fly in the park by house because I don't have the time to fly the big bird more than a few hours, once a week. Most guys around me are all T-rex nuts and are trying to talk me into one of those. There are however a few guys that really like these, but have limited time flying them (they are instructors) so cannot give a real good opinion. Any input as to the pros and cons of the mini Titan vs. the T-rex???
So the Mini Titan IS a GREAT heli. I don't have a T-rex to compare so I can only tell you what i know about my Mini Titan. The over a reallly smooth, and the Fast forward flight are clean. The bird responds are fast because of the 120 degree CCPM. All that I can tell is if you friends are T-rex freaks then if you have some problem you can ask them and have a quick tip. The parts for the Mini Titan are strong and here where I order .
