View Full Version : Here's the Mini Titan tracking fix

Um. Don't know. When I had the stock setup it was doing that to me too, sometimes it would seem like I wouldn't barley touch the stick and the would slowly descent and come back up like it was on a bungee cord. Honestly I have no idea, but I think it's just the head speed and the wind(if any is present). I haven't had problems since I switched to the jgf450 and cc35 esc. I don't think this is the reason though. Try changing your throttle curve in normal mode, and bump up the throttle a little bit. Have low-stick be 0%, and high-stick be 100%. Then make mid-stick 60%(or some number greater than 50%). Then have the point between mid-stick and high-stick make the throttle curve a straight line. Now go the point between low-stick and mid-stick and make it follow the slope of the right side of the curve. You can look at my throttle curve. You want to make sure you don't have the throttle curve changing slope right at mid-stick, you want it to change at the point between low-stick and mid-stick, if you don't do this it means when you're hovering the heli will loose MORE altitude when -collective is given due to the slower head speed. It makes hovering at the same altitude a lot harder if your curve changes slope at mid-stick. Secondly, when you get into inverted hovering, or 3D, you'll love the increased head speed around mid-stick in normal flight mode, because your heli wont jump as much changing from normal flight mode, to idle up 1. This is because there will be less change in the throttle between the modes.

I've got it running 0%, 65%, 79%, 90%, 100%
I'll increase the lower point a little more to see what happens. Could also be my pitch perhaps, will check that as well.

Hi,
My tracking is out by 1/2 a turn? Now what?
Do I need to adjust the lower links?

Are you running the standard plastic head still?
The only things I've changed is the main rotor grips and the lower mixing arms, that had my tracking spot on. Will still replace the top mixing arms though :)
It definitely makes a big difference to the heli temps!

Hi,
Watched finless's tracking vid, adjusted the 2nd link down and tracking fixed !
Thanx all

Apparently tracking problem is an e325 thing, many has the same issue and resolution varies. I lmost junked my MT frustratedfrom the tracking issue. Then I realised the small play between the rotor hub and the main shaft. I applied CA between them and let it set.
The result is good, no more tracking issue. I guess the plastic quality is made in such manner to keep parts moving. I have since replaced the stock hub with a kasama item and gradually replacing everything to kasama to ease the pain on the bank balance.
So far so good, it has been 7 packs of battery now and tracking is still spot on!

Hi,
So you saying that you can use the kasama rotor hub with the normal plastic parts?
If so thats cool !
Jg.
Do it, Do it.

Do it, Do it. I bet you can. Wish I had one to measure for you but I'm almost positive that shouldn't be a problem. But be aware that if you use the Rotor Hub your going to have to use the Kasama seesaw, upper mixing levers and most likely flyber levers too. You should just get the whole metal head if you want it to be a real killer.

Don't know about your LHS but here it is cheaper to buy the whole head in one go instead of splitting it up in parts :(

That is nice but over here it doesnt make any difference and the cost is also high.
