Gorilla Gear skids Mini Titan

[Bayward]

The standard Gorilla skids for the Mini Titan seem to be made to match the standard Align skids for the Trex 450. As a result the Gorilla skids are about 5/16" shorter in height than the stock TT skids for the Mini Titan. The low profile Gorilla skids are even shorter yet.

Does the lowered height affect the Mini Titan at all ? The reason I ask is while awaiting parts to show up I put a set of Falcon 3D skids on my Mini Titan. Which also were lower than the stock Mini Titan skids. With the Falcon skids installed the Mini Titan tail fin would drag the ground. This would make it very difficult to take off as the tail would leave the ground last. The Mini Titan would try to pirouette with the tail fin as the pivot point. :shock: Try controlling that on lift off. :wow2:

I did encounter the same problem. A very easy solution is to simply add a spacer, at the back, between the E-325 frame and the Gorilla gear. I did use bits from broken plastic original landing gear. I'm sure you should have many around :-)

When the E-325 isn't flying, restrain the Gorilla gear with rubber band (or any method) to 90 degrees.. Makes it a bit higher for the next take off.

Another thing is to start from a flat surface such as a piece of plywood or similar..

Thinking of your description, I would check the balance of the mini titan as you are "tail heavy" it isn't the best.

As I'm flying 4S Kongpower I don't have this problem (no more).

Happy flying
