Default RE: Mini Titan thread

Some mini titan setup questions for all you that are already flying this bird.

A little on my setup, seems popular so I figure someone has gone through all the same that I am doing.

Mini titan (kit form with TT motor and ace esc).
GY401, s9650 on the tail
hitec hs-65s on the swash
Spektrum DX7
TP 2200mah Extreme lipos

First question, is it necessary to shim the aileron servos (the elevator had to be done or horn binds on frame) but the ailerons seem to travel just fine without shimming them up, anyone used these hitecs know if its required or not?

Second item, Using a GY401 I am getting the red alarm light. I skimmed through the futaba manual and it mentions getting the radio set for avcs before the gyro will initialize. Ran out of time last night playing with it and don't have all the details with me right now but what are the basic high points I need to know on setting this up rather than have to swap between the three manuals over and over? Also, does anyone foresee a problem with installing this gyro in the bottom of the frame (under the tail boom in the slot, seems like it was made to go here)? I have it up top behind the elev. servo but would rather it down bottom after I get it adjusted right so it can't be whacked by the flybar in a crash.

Third question, Where should I set the esc for battery protection so I get the most for flight time yet still remain on the safe side? I will time flights and what have you but I am relatively new to Lipos and electric helis.

I bought a cellpro discharge protection module that monitors the individual cell voltage but I need an adapter to go from the cellpro node to thunder power (balance connector? ) The DPM has an input for cellpros line of packs, not thunder power, so I need an adapter of some sorts to go from the TP packs to the DPM. Should be female for the thunder power side and then male on the cellpro side. Any idea where to get this or how to make it?
