  • 500 3g

    Well, Im so chuffed i just had to write it !

    Been avoiding the FBL thing, But Geek convinced me to try it out, So got a 3G unit and RJX head for the 500.

    After a few teething problems (Due to reasons unknown) which caused the end of a new pair of CF blades and assorted other bits, And then some help from Geek (Well it was his Idea!) It flew and I was quite pleased with how it felt.

    It felt "Nervous" tho, and i guessed this was down to sensor mounting.
    So had a fiddle and tweak and a jig about with things and just had a test flight.


    WOW Was worried that the mods I made wouldnt work. but it popped into the most stable, confidence inspiring hover I have had in 3 + years of flying

    It flips rolls, tracks and tictocs so sweet it made me grin from ear to ear .

    I am using the CSM SL 720 on the tail still, as Im not sure about the tail of the 3G, But that suits me as Im happy with the CSM.

    Always loved the 500, but this is something else ! (Yep, Im chuffed)

    So its the 600n next .

          Wish I brought the RJX Head it looks really cool, thought I was going to save some money by buying the KDE head and using the existing blade holders. turns out I have to shell out for the conversion kit from align bar the head.

            not sure which version of the 3g software your running but i have seen the new version 3 in action and the tail is rock solid compaired to that of the last version
            might be worth an upgrade

              It is running v3 software, Had some issues with the tail, It was trying to overdrive the servo to the point that it snapped the plastic rod guide. Maybe I will try to sort it another time.... Was kakking it trying FBL anyhow.... At least running the CSM gyro I knew how the tail was going to behave !!!

              Thing is, Now it flys like it does I probably will leave it alone and fly it for a while until I find a reason to change it.
