Hello Everyone,

I am a airplane guy who recently decided to give the TT Mini Titan a try. I have been practicing on my sim and believe I will enjoy helis very much.

I plan on purchasing the kit version of the Mini Titan because I will enjoy building it. I chose it because many reviews I read say they are stable and the price is right, at $129 for the kit.

There are several questions I have for you guys as I am new to helis and would really appreciate your help. First of all should I get the kit less electronics and choose my own electric package, for example Skorpion motor/esc? Or should I go with the TT package which sells for $200 with the kit? I plan on upgrading as my skills improve accordingly so I wouldn't mind paying a little more up front on components that probably won't break in a crash. What package do you suggest?

What gyro should I get? I want a good one but at a reasonable price. (logitech, Jr, Futaba, Etc?)

Which servos should I use on the Mini Titan?

As I said I am a plane guy and have an old radio. I would like to get a spektrum dx7. Can I get the airplane version of the dx7 and use it to fly a heli? What are the differences between the heli/airplane Dx7? Is the throttle notched on both? Any other differences?

Does the kit include any tools? Which should I get if not?

What is Anaerobics Retainer?

Again I really appreciate your anwsering my questions and providing any additional advice you may have.

The 401 with a 9650 works VERY well on the Mini Titan
Id reccomend HS65MG's
Get the heli version if you're going to fly or think you're going to fly helis. I fly everything from gassers, to gliders, to helis and do it on a heli radio. The switch layout is more natural for heli flying and the throttle is smooth on the heli version. You get the same software on both. Many airplane guys, especially 3d types that have flown my planes on my radios have asked me to mod the throttles for finer throttle control on their airplane radios.
Yep, it comes with a few allen wrenches but a set of hardened allen drivers makes life easier, you also need a pitch gauge.
Fancy name for locktite. It means is a retainer that cures in the absence of air. Used for metal to metal only.
Glad to help. Check out the mini titan review in the RCU magazine section.
