Great on solving your cam issue... Now we'll be expecting a new and improved version here in the next week or so... It sure makes sense, as to your tail problem now also. Now my memory serves me correctly, as I forgot you still were running the stock servo for the tail and I'll bet that is your problem most definately ! What Futaba servo are you getting? 9650 ? 9257 ?.....

Yeah that Typhoon is pretty light... You had me thinking, that next time just for kicks I may try one of my Air-Thunder 3-cell 2200 mah 25c batts in it... It weighs about 200 grams, compared to the one that came stock with the Typhoon which was about 138 grams... 3-D would be a little more challenging, but the added weight would help for just simple flying, which is better than no flying at all when its windy ! How's your Belt CP coming along ? Did you get some new main blades yet ? Did you get your swash links adjusted o.k. ? As I remember you asking in a previous post in comparing them to the tie-rods in a car... I couldn't understand fully on what maybe you were implying, but I'am sure you're figuring it all out by now... Once everything gets all broken in and loosened up, it will hover and fly even better !

Finless videos over at Heli-Freak will also help you understand on the set-up of everything, and are very popular by many... Not sure if he has a video on the Belt CP, but he has some for the Trex, and many others and they will still help you with the basics on set-up of the heli, and even your TX programming. I don't have the link off hand, but if you wanted it just ask because someone here has it. And worse comes to worse, I'll find it for ya...

I'am thinking of giving one a ride on the ol' plank....[8D]


Here's that short clip of the Typhoon running with the 3 -cell 1320 mah 13c 91 gram batt:
