Major bummer @Beaver I'm getting to know that feeling all to well. Back to the glass blades then? Murphys law that:don't crash for a while so upgrade few parts to attract crashes attention

Right..... I'm well aware of the risks. It wouldn't bother me as much if I hadn't just gotten the bird to a virtually flawless state, then..... Oops.
It's not so bad now.... damage control nearly complete aside from the servo issues.

 

Yeah it takes time to get used to. Having spare beater helis helps a bit.

 

I have other birds: 120Sr, Nano CPx, and a cheap "Frankenstein monster" 450 coaxial that I converted to DSMX/Spektrum/Blade electrics........ better than nothing, but compared to the CX450, flying the other helis is like going from a Lotus to a Lada.
...... but then again, if my "Ladas" had come with those kind of extras.... I would have spent a lot less time flying.

 

that's another costly hobby to get into. You're going to need an X5 Beema to haul those kinda birds.

 

Anyway......
I have a spare cyclic servo if I need it. Im about to log into the K-Bar and check things out so I can determine whether or not I need another tail servo.

 

Yep. Time to order new cyclic servos.

 

broken servo gears?

 

One has burnt transistor inside.... only moves one way. If I'm going to change one..... I might as well change all 3 of em. Tail servo is still good. I figure I'll get better cyclic servos this time.

 

Choices are so limitless with servos you could be there forever what is more important in your experience. .power or speed?

I generally look for the ones with speed of 0.10 to 0.8. ..... digital / metal geared. The last ones were TGY MG90s, but I'm going to spend a few more $$ and try to find better ones this time.

 

KDS N300 were a big investment for me after a string of cheapos. Good speed and torque bit jittery sometimes. Probably cheaper in your neck of the woods

As luck has it, it's a beautiful day today, practically no wind, no rug-rats at the park....... and the 450 is grounded.

 

Thats why u need another for times like this

 

+1 heaps of spares, is a good way to go.

 

Still comparing servos.....
Leaning toward Corona DS9x9mg series micro servos.
The Corona DS319MG tail servo has shown no anomalies since I installed it 3 months ago.
Further investigation pending.

 

they are not that good apparently. prone to slop and other things. though some have had good luck with them.

 

I've heard that also, but based on the performance of the ds319mg, might be worth a look... if they are BB.

 

your call

 

if you're after a servo that's between .10 - .08 the KST MS320 looks promising.

not sure if it's any good, I like servos with replaceable gears. Going to look into these to see if they are.
