Titanium Turnbuckles

I've been looking at the FBL Rotors titanium Turnbuckles and wanted to see how many here in the family are using them. So, what are your thoughts on these?

I use the
titanium Lunsford turnbuckles sold at Amain
on both the E7SE and the E5. The smallest thread size is M3, so I had to expand the stock plastic links with a drill bit. The servo to swash turnbuckles help attain a perfectly level swash, but are probably not necessary. However, the two swash to main grip turnbuckles help attain perfect tracking, so that's where the turnbuckles really shine.
Notice how I did not bother using a turnbuckle on the rear/elevator servo. I just use turnbuckles on the aileron servos to match the elevator servo. Again, these servo to swash turnbuckles are not really necessary.

I use Ralph's FBL Rotors turnbuckles on my E7SE & N5C... They are awesome.. They come ready to install per the manuals measurements... On the expensive side maybe.. But it makes the build & future tinker' that much easier.. I dig them!

Looks like I'm getting a set! Thanks for the input all!
Do I need the caliper adapters as well?

They're a neat tool, but not really needed. Level swash and zero pitch are what's important. The FBL links are pre-measured anyway so all you have to do is install them and run through swash and pitch setup.

I use them on my birds and they are awesome. As far as needed tools I would recommend the ball link pliers as well as a Botosizer and you should be good to go.

Yes they will. Still need to be sized too unless you get the FBL balls.
