never could get my 450 pro dfc setup perfectly because of the stock ds415. Anyway, installing new servos and I picked up some of the heli option turnbuckle servo links and it seems like they snap on the balls REALLY easy. Is this normal? The stock align ones there's no way you could get then on without pliers...these pop right on with your fingers.

Anyone else have the same experience? I really like the idea of being able to get the swash dead level...anyone ever had one of these pop off in flight?

I am using that turnbuckle links too, so far so good. I like the easy on/off ball links.

OK, just wanted to make sure they're supposed to be that way. It would suck to make an "upgrade" and have one of them pop off in flight.

I would be concerned that the links pop on and off that easy. May come lose in flight and that would be a shame. Just my $.02..

I had the HeliOption turnbuckles on my DFC Pro that was involved in several crashes, and they survived when they shouldn't have! I actually put them on my Gaui X3, and they work flawless!

I'm going for 3rd

m.....fly, crash, fly again....my links survived and still going strong

I've only got a few test flights out of the way, but so far so good. Seems like they take about 1/3 of the force to pop off compared to the align ball links.
