Default RE: Mini Titan thread

Ok guys, I need some advice (HELP) here.

I went to fly my MT Sat night (after 4 successful flights on Fri) and when I spooled her up, something went wrong and I never made it off the ground. Turns out a mixing lever (mixing arm) broke. Don't ask me how I trashed the training gear and cracked the frame mounts again but DID NOT break a blade.

I was planning on buying the new aluminum mixing levers but not sure if the Thunder Tiger part PV0805 or the G-Force made version (G-Force Mixing Arms M2 -MiniTitan- GFR2017) <http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=882017> from Heliproz would be better?

The only difference I can see is that the G-Force arm is totally solid where as the TT part is hollowed out on one side.

I was thinking about upgrading the whole head to aluminum (Precision CNC Head System - Mini Titan E325) <http://www.helidirect.com/product_in...ts_id=5250> but not sure if I can/should go that far at this time.

I also noticed that my upper bearing housing screws keep loosening slightly so was considering getting either (PV0810 Metal Brg Block E325) <http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=142529> or <http://www.helidirect.com/product_in...ts_id=5264>


What do you guys recommend? What other stock parts are prone to break easily?

I don't really want to upgrade any more than necessary because the cost will really start adding up and I'd rather save that money to put towards a mini-Titan SE this summer.
