Servo Upgrade

Servo upgrade: Hitec HS-56HB with karbonite gears for CCPM.

Dragonus II was designed for this quality servo, so there's no need to dremel anything nor use spacers as opposed to the HS-55.






Servo digital for the tail: Futaba S9257
Excellent servo, perfect match for GY-401.





I needed to drill holes in the servo to use this particular model of servo holder:



I used the V3 Tail servo mounts for for 3D-X450SE and HDX450SE helicopters but fit both T-Rex 450 and the Dragonus.




I also needed to cut and bend the tail servo link:


Best blades around: Dragonus II flies better and sounds quieter with Curtis Youngblood blades.



Using cable mesh, all the cabling looks better and stays protected:
