X50 tail rod ???

Adam F · 08-23-2012, 09:32 AM

I would like to mount my Tail servo on the tail , I have the bracket for the servo but don't now what rod (length) o buy

and where to get it ?
Any advice is greatly appreciated

I believe the x50e has the tail servo mounted on the boom, the part number for the control rod is PV1424 and the length is 580mm + the Ball links.

Default setup is that tail servo is all the way in the front. Maybe you could split the long linkage (it would mean not assemble it actually) and mount servo where the link ends.

Thanks for the help guys , I will check the par number and see if that's what I am looking for . One the other hand you cant use the rod it's set with because is only threaded on one end and airs a bit to short

use the stock connector and shorten the stock rods to the length that you need

or make one out of carbon fiber tube and insert x" of threaded rod in each end for micro adjustments.

solder one of these on so you can thread on a ball link

Mine sheared in half. totalled heli. I since have a new airframe and used the Trex 600 carbon tail boom servo mount and carbon tail rod and guide. It works perfect and i dont have to worry about the piece of crap X50 tail rod. You will have to cut the rod down a little but thats no big deal

Do you have a photo of it? I may do the same mine has not give me any issues but I want something better. Don’t the sell a carbon tail servo bracket for the X50? I recall they had one for the Raptors and Heliproz sold them….Anyone on this?

Hello? Wow its quite slow over here guess the Titan is not really what one would call a hot heli...too bad because it fly's way better than any T600 that I have ever flown..

Anyone know if this will work on the Titan?

I didn't test it myself but here you can see it's obviously mounted using something similar (if not the same).

Cool looks like it just might fit then
