Hey Guys,

Just an FYI this might be of interest in your scale retract projects. A lot simpler setup than air retracts and they support over 6 pounds of weight. The struts are even spring loaded and have about an inch of travel. Installations is as easy as plugging them into your receivers gear channel. Total weight of complete setup is only 6.85 ounces.

Looks like there normal price is only $139 but there taking pre-orders for $119.

I got one of these Heliartist MD500 bodies, but am struggling to get the tail servo sorted would Black Titanium (or others) be so kind as to let me what tail servo they use and how its mounted? I have a 9257 but it seems to be too big...

any help will be greatly appreciated.

cool, I finally got mine to fit using a 3153 (took me ages to get it right).

One more question if you dont mind?

Do you remember how many shims you used to mount the frame in the fuz, as I am concerned about servo clearence and getting the head high enough?

many thanks

See attached photos!
Note: I did not use glue to mount the frame and shims. I use zip ties to securely mount the Heli frame to the fuselage frame.

In the last photo, note the location of the Futaba 3154 servo.
