DTS MODIFICATION - ALTERNATIVE VERSION

Advantages to the DTS mods are:

1) Swashplate is more precise now, hardly any CCPM interaction due to slop.
2) The heli is much lighter after the mod with the removal of 4 linkage rods, 3 bellcrank levels, 6 bearings and abit of the frame material.
3) Option of mounting the Lipo on the upper part of the frame thus improving the roll characteristics of the heli as the cg is closer inline with the tail boom.
4) Cheap to carry out, the E352 mounts (Alternative method only) costs only $5.20 and is the only item you'll need. I believe this is the most "bang for the buck" anything that I have ever done.
5) The helis now flies very precisely, there is no pitching during forwards, punchups are vertical (not slewing to the side as previously) and the heli seems to be a little more agile (due to the weight reduction)

I have the E325 servo holders. Can you take a better picture of where you mounted them? Maybe an outline of the holder and the body? Picture is too dark, it's hard to distinguish what is what and where you used the screws to mount them.

Its Trial and Error, mount your servo on the Servo Base and find where the link is the straightest to the swash with the servo arm at 90 degrees... Thats where you mount it to the frame

can anyone point me in the direction of the servo mounts, ive checked ebay and various other searches and cant find them anywhere,

thanks in advance

Sorry the new crew should have thought of that

But we were so oppressed with not being allowed to post links to sites we forgot.

Servo Tray your looking for is for the Mini Titan E325..

This site has some.
