i suggest, changing the TP lipos for Apex MK3's. 1 battery definitely isnt fun. for the price of one TP pack, you could get almost 2 apex's and theyre almost the same in terms of performance.

btw, how far did you get with the BCP?

try the new hs65 servos on the cyclic. they cost about the same, but are a little beefier. they have the correct mounting positions too.

I have a CP2, but close to the same thing anyways. Accually im not very far. I just hovering, but plan to go out for FFF soon. Then when i master that Im gonna get this T-rex. So im planning it all out now so i can get the money for the heli, then buy it, then have it built. Then after that Ill be finished up with the CP2 andready to move on.

Wouldn't use the 56B servos--Need redrilling for mounting-- Suggest the futaba or I'm using MX 50's which have slightly more torque than the 56B's and fit in perfectly. The 9650 & GY401 is perfect. I prefer a dual conversion radio (I have the Hitec 'electra' I think.) Less chance of interference. Just finished mine 5 D ago and, though a novice Heli flier, have had nothing but great flights with this bird. it's a great machine.

Do the HS-65's fit correctly?

My Feedback: (2)

yes, theyre like 56's that dont require modification to fit. a bit stronger, but not as fast; and therefore, not well suited as a tail servo - perfect for cyclic though.

if you still want to use a 56 on the tail, that's probably one of the best choice for a non digital servo.

Shortymet55

ok well im definetly useing a Futaba digital 9650 for tail so that wont matter.

hdoc

Not to be redundant, but the MPi MX-50HP's fit perfectly without modification & have greater torque & speed than the Hitec 56B's.

The 9650 is a 'monster', yet fits perfectly on the 'stock' tail boom servo holder.
