Reducing blade size will increase disc loading and should make the Heli fly better in wind, the down side being that the floaty light feeling of the fusion be also be reduced slightly.

I'm sure some one else knows a little more about this.

A few thoughts: Is it hard or soft mounted? Velcro strap? What do you have pots 1 and 2 set to? What head speed?

I've only had one 3 min flight and the only problem I noticed was the stiff links which I'm replacing with QuickUK ones

The BeastX is mounted on Spartan black foam pad without any strap (pic below). Probably not ideal and one of the reasons I'm targeting that first. Pot 1 is slightly positive while 2 is straight across. All my links are smooth as I like to make sure they all move smoothly on all my helis

That's what I thought

Assuming vibrations are under control (BX is more susceptible than most i understand) then in general it prefers a harder mount in my experience.
I'm running a vbar on my fusion but have the sensor taped to the gyro mount inside nose on a layer of 3M 4011 tape and a velcro strap to give some extra tension but cushioned rather than a zip-tie
Its generally solid as a rock even in wind i wouldn't fly my 450

I had a few flights on my Fusion a few months back with it acting kind of strange,turned out to be my vbar sensor had come unstuck in 2 corners because the flimsy plastic mount had warped!!

Thankfully waveydavey sent me a alloy one and its been fine since...yours looks,well,not flat too??

Yeah I took one look at that mount and pulled it out. Replaced it with the CNC one.

Two easy things to try would be; 1. lightly strap the BeastX with a velcro strap just to compress the foam a bit and see if that makes any difference. I tend to think a BeastX vibes / tape issue is going to show regardless of the wind though.

2. Try a fairly heavy set of 600mm blades. Blades will make a big difference in wind, you want a blade with a rearward C of G so that it lags more than it leads. I have not tried the spin blades but I have a pretty wide range of 600mm blades and the light aggressive ones are a lot of fun in calm conditions but are all over the shop if it's really windy. (and I'm not talking about the Fusion specifically, just in general as I have not yet settled on the ideal blades on the Fusion due to lack of power in my current setup being the first issue that needs sorting).

I'm flying with the Rail 606mm blades and i'm very happy with stability for my level of ability
