Mixing Levers/Head upgrade for stock mini-Titan

[3D Dave]

I just had an "incident" and need some advice here.

I went to fly my MT Sat night (after 4 successful flights on Fri) and when I spooled her up, something went wrong and I never made it off the ground. Turns out a mixing lever (mixing arm) broke. Don't ask me how I trashed the training gear and cracked the frame mounts again but DID NOT break a blade.

I was planning on buying the new aluminum mixing levers but not sure if the Thunder Tiger part PV0805 or the G-Force made version (G-Force Mixing Arms M2 -MiniTitan- GFR2017) <http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=882017> from Heliproz would be better?

The only difference I can see is that the G-Force arm is totally solid where as the TT part is hollowed out on one side.

I was thinking about upgrading the whole head to aluminum (Precision CNC Head System - Mini Titan E325) <http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=326&products_id=5250> but not sure if I can/should go that far at this time.

I also noticed that my upper bearing housing screws keep loosening slightly so was considering getting either (PV0810 Metal Brg Block E325) <http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=142529> or <http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=326&products_id=5264>


What do you guys recommend? What other stock parts are prone to break easily?

I don't really want to upgrade any more than necessary because the cost will really start adding up and I'd rather save that money to put towards a mini-Titan SE this summer.

I also don't want to have to buy new/additional parts just to fit the new head because it won't work with the stock hardware/blades/bearings etc.

Thanks for any input on this.

Cheaper and $10 flat rate shipping for as many parts as you order.

I put in a order, My package should arrive this week,.

Go check out CNCHelicopter.com. As I have said many times before, their parts are much better than anything else on the market for the MT, and cheaper by more than half. I use parts from them on both of my MT's, and I am in the process of replacing all of my previously purchased TT metal parts with stuff from these guys. As for the SE, again, I wouldnt waste my money. Buy a stock MT, upgrade the head and tail with these parts, and you will be in it for about the same money, but with better parts. The only other parts I would recomend getting rid of are the stock landing gear, and the vert. fin. Both are prone to break very easy, and that vert. fin will take out your tail. And also, maybe, the canopy mounts. Hope this helps.
