Who's using a Beast X?

[fishface]

I saw that both FL and Midland received the Beast X units last week, FL now sold out.

This sounds like it is a good little unit, but I'm just a bit unsure given it is not manufactured by a 'big' established name, but Micro Beast seem to be doing a good job so far.

Anyone installed any of the latest units on their heli's yet? Just wondered if the latest reports continue to be as positive as the earlier reports.

Any flight reports/feedback appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

Hi Guys

So far we have them running on 2 machines (Align 500 and CY Rave 450) and have several other local guys running them. Early impressions are very good, it's certainly as good as anything we have tried so far.
Its very small, easy to set up and exceptional value; although they're not a well known company they have a very successful history with leading edge electronic technology in the gaming industry. You can tell immediately by the packaging and attention to detail that this is a sorted product.

I have one on my Copterx 450 - it's brilliant (and another one on it's way for my Hurricane 550), I just set it up as per the instructions and haven't changed anything from the standing settings. It comes very professionally packaged (although I bought mine from Freakware in Germany so everything is in German - no probs English docs on web-site). The Beastx feels very solid and well built - it has an aluminium base and feels very "professional"

Mike.

I'll be playing with a 500 fitted with a beastx on Saturday hopefully, I'll post my thoughts once I've had a few flights. I'm no real fan of FBL so it will interesting to see how it compares to both the other FBL machines I've flown and also how it feels compared to my flybarred machines.

The rumour I've heard is that the Manufacturers of the Beast actually designed the Align system, but Align shafted them and they split on less than amicable terms.... so they've released their own version much cheaper, to **** off Align.

Hey, I just noticed that there's a naughty word "remover", I typed pi$$ (with s's still in place, by accident, and the system automatically replaced it with ****, cool

Garry is running one on his Trex 500 and he loves it.

He also commented on how easy it is to set up


I see it fly and it looks like its on rails.

Its been said for quite some time by many respectable sources.

The BeastX is an excellent piece of equipment from a very professional company.

The new unannounced and unreleased software update is another big step forward. (note i cant give more details on this software yet so if you dont like info in this fashion dont read it)

The new micro Rondo here looks very interesting

If you are in scotland give me a shout and you can try my BeastX

Just finished installing a second Microbeast in my Vibe 50. This'll be my second flybarless machine with the BeastX unit. Like Ben said I've been running the Microbeast in my T-Rex 500 for a few weeks now and its just superb and so easy to set up.

Looking forward to the Maiden flight of my Vibe 50FBL this weekend.

Garry

ps. I've also bought a USB interface for forthcoming programming and update options.

I'm running one on my K3D had a few issues but that was my own fault but really pleased with it now.
