    Default Spektrum BNF Beast X anyone? The AR7200BX!

    Nice move by spektrum imo...

    A BNF rebranded Beast X with the ability to interface with flight log telemetry features... I imagine they will sell these by the bucket load!

    Horizon Hobby: AR7200BX 7CH DSMX Flybarless Control System by Spektrum (SPMAR7200BX)


    AR7200BX 7CH DSMX Flybarless Control System


    Key Features
    • Integrated BeastX 3-axis MEMS gyro
    • 250 to 800 sized helicopters
    • Designed for easy access for field adjustments
    • DSMX safety and control
    • Flight log telemetry compatible
    • 11ms frame rate
    • 2048 resolution
    Overview

    BeastX flybarless technology is the most powerful, easiest-to-use flybarless technology flying today. And now with the amazing AR7200BX, you can add it to your 250- to .90-size helicopter while saving space and reducing flying weight at the same time. The groundbreaking Spektrum innovation combines a 7-channel DSMX receiver with a BeastX, 3-axis MEMS stabilization system into a single, compact unit. Besides eliminating the mechanical complexity of a flybar, the BeastX technology built into the AR7200BX lets you quickly fine-tune stability, cyclic response and tail response without touching a single linkage or require special software, All you need is your DSM2/DSMX transmitter and this unit.

    So it's advertised at £150, a bargain in my opinion. However, the list price is £210. Very close to V Bar territory £270 Hmmmm

    Yeah I was going to mention the RX L port... One would assume that coud be the way to connect an extra sat. Have to wait and see... If so it would explain why beast never bothered bringing out the dual sat adapter.

    I find it interesting that it is compatible with data port for telemetry, that alone is pretty cool for me.

    I coud definitely see me replacing the beast on my Gaui with this unit.

    That's not a bad price given it has the built in 7ch receiver....

    Cheaper than a beast x with spekkky adaptor and a satellite I believe.
