Thread: Beastx issue, rollsheli to right on IU2 ???

Ok my beastx has started doing some weird things, it never used to do this and the heli has not been crashed. It does not always do it and in 1 day it some times does it ona flight or two and then not, some times it starts doing it half way through a flight some times from take off but most the time in idle up 2 (100% flat curve) on my trex 500

It will roll to the right, enough that after 5 or 6 seonds it will actually achive nearly 45 degrees and if i let it, it would. But its not all the time. Its really knocking my flying back and with it sometimes doing it i dont feel confident with the heli any more.

Dan has a video on how bad it does it from flying today. Im now at the stage of just scrapping the beastx. Nothing is bent i have changed the main shaft, feathering spindle, bearings etc trying to see if its vibration but its not. It never used to do it only the last couple of months has it started and its getting more often.



Hopefully dan will send me the video soon and i can show you all how bad it does it but i just dont want it to do it any more now. Im thinking of maybe trying a vbar out but would like to save that for the next model if possible.

Change the pad would be my first port of call, 3M/ripmax/ming yang tape should sort it

I do wonder if all my 450 issues were pad related. Never tried anything other than the stock BeastX one's and a gel one.

Cheers Dan for the Video, i have some ming yang stuff will try that. Single or double layered ?

If were a betting man my money would be on it being the cause of most peoples beast x problems!

Single layered and strap it down tight if you can.

Strap it down ?
I thought i was supposed to be stopping vibration hitting it.

yep strap it down tight with a velcro strap

I have just stuck mine on with the supplied pad, i had no issues for the last 8-9 months its only recent its doing it and nothing has changed......

The pads dont last forever and if it hasnt been crashed then a change of pad is the first thing to try really.

+1.

The first three things you should do are

1. Change the Pad
2. Change the Pad
3. Change the Pad.

Lol ok will change the pad tonight try it tomorrow and report back.

Strap the bugger down! Cured all my tipping problems on the N5.

Definitely strap it Down and tight. You will find it behaves differently and as it should, tail drift will stop and any strange cyclic behavior should disappear.

I'm using a thin black pad very stiff, its strapped down F.T and heli is great now.
