Thanks. I did that search and found only my videos for the Hurricane 550. No Trex or other stuff??? Is that what you saw?

I did see the Otter ESC and one HDX 450 vid as well....

Thanks,
Bob

Question: In selecting the best servo arm, I seem to have a choice between (1) one that centers pretty well (subtrim 15 +/-), but is half a mm off in the radius of the closest hole (13mm, as opposed to the recommended radius of 12.5mm on the TT Mini Titan), versus (2) one with a perfect hole radius but way off in terms of centering (subtrim 45). What's a better choice?

Many thanks!

Bump? :o Gotta make some decisions today - my repair parts arrive Monday and I'm itching the hop back in the saddle!

Caution to other noobs! I already screwed up some of my newly-purchased HS65 arms by failing to reset my pitch curve to defaults (0-25-50-75-100%) before trying to center them

I gotta say..... kgfly doesn't seem to get much credit around here and I WANT TO SAY.... He is one of the BEST helifreaker's out there.... He has been here a long time and KNOWS his stuff....

He spends a HUGE amount of time here answering questions (some of them the same over and over again) and it is obvious he loves helping....

Hey kgfly.... From me to you man!

Now some of you other n00bs... no need to give me props give props to the countless others here that help you too!

Bob

I downloaded 3 of these vids (seemingly OK) but have a problem that I can hear the sound but there is no video when I play them in Windows Media player?
Any ideas?

You have a codec problem. These were incoded in standard WMV using Windows AVI codec. You either lost your codec or never installed it. Go to MS.com and search on codec.

Thanks Finless, you do an excellent job with your vids. I have not been at this very long and now I understand a whole lot more. My wife thanks you also (less money spent on spare parts due to a solid setup).
