Status: online 		I have one, and love it! I'm buying spares so when I crash and break something, I'm not left without on.

I don't 3D, but I do fast forward flight, and it scoots right along - has not caused my any problem. I'm even running cheap servos (my good servos are in a better bird) - I'm running HS-55's on the cyclic, and a HS-56 on the tail, with a GY240 Gyro. And T-Rex 450 parts are a direct match - I've replaced flybar, main shaft, spindle, tail shaft, boom, etc (when the ground got in my way) - the Align parts bolt right on.

Thanks, Mark

Sounds like you need to adjust your rudder endpoints.

Status: online 		Almost forgot - do you have a dual rate setup on the rudder channel? If it's too much of a dual rate, it will slow your spin rate as well.

I have a flasher 450 PE. If the slider is traveling the length of the shaft, you're mechanically maxed out for turn rate. The tail blades on the flasher are a little 'spongy' and have very little surface area, resulting in very poor tail authority. I had corrected this by purchasing tail blade replacements, plastic or cf will do, just be sure they are more rigid and have visibly more surface area. You'll find you will need *much* less slider travel for similar tail movements.

Status: online 		I second that - hitec hs65mg's

Other option is to look for the JR servo pack, which has 3 ds285's, and 1 ds3400g for the tail. The price is pretty good on them - HOWEVER, they are not metal geared - and break easily (ask me how I know).

The 3400g is an excellent tail servo, by the way.

Just my opinions, Mark
