Thanks for the comments all,

Rollin Thunder,

Thanks for the info mate.

The new tail motor seems so powerful - I thought it would have reacted the same as the Walkera one.

Gidday Brett,

I'd be lucky to be getting 10 packs out of them.

I use a 2s 7.4v lipo but lately, have tried the stock NiMh packs, but the tail motors just don't last.

Cheers,

Steve

Mini Titan E325 and gyro mount

I am thinking of mounting the GY401 in the "boxed" area of the frame so that the flybar paddles won't hit it in a crash.
