Beast X. WOW.!!!

[Tim Procter]

Well I spent part of this afternoon installing the Beast X on to my 700 and been out to try it tonight.

WOW.

All I can say is what I have read in reviews and heard on the internet is very true.

This unit is just awesome in flight.

Made a couple of changes after the first flight, Had to speed the cyclic up from "Sport" to "Extreme" to get the roll and flip rate to my liking and actually slowed the tail down a touch and added some expo then BAM. It was as near perfect as I wanted for tonights testing.

It just feels so wrong when you take off into the hover and the heli sits there with fingers off the sticks and it goes no where. Bizarre indeed.

As for flying it the heli is so locked in and positive on the sticks it's unreal.

I haven't yet tried a V-Bar unit but if its better than this then its bloody amazing.

Me, I'm gonna have a lot of fun flying this.

A special thanks go to rapidgaz for spending time on the phone this afternoon helping me out with the initial setup. Thanks very much mate, I appreciatte it.

This is great news Tim.

Is it that easy to set up?

Garry keeps telling me how good this is on his 500 and Vibe 50 so everytime I hear another good report it's music to my ears

Cant wait to get mine.

[Tom Burgess]

It's a great unit for sure

Setup is a breeze once you understand the manual and understand what does what.

I never was very bright at reading instructions but with a little help from rapidgaz I was cooking with gas,

Awwh shucks, I'm going to have to get one now

Shouldnt that be running on Optifuel Tim

How is it different to the 3g system Tim

I downloaded the manual today and I'm too not the brightest when it comes to this and reckon I will be on the phone to Garry to make sure but it does seem quite easy.



Btw if everywhere is out of stock they will be back in around 10 days

What is the term....... Chalk and Cheese.... Night and Day.

I must admit I'm not gonna knock the 3G System but this is on another level hence my earlier statement, If the V Bar is better than this then its too good to be true.

[rapidgaz]

said you would put it to extreme, try tail without expo and put less atv in instead. that might work better for you tim. or do all settings from tx the tail deff felt better being all done from tx. to do this you will have to change the flashing seetting B to blue

[moyesboy]

Waht is the relative cost? 3G vs BeastX?

[rapidgaz]

prob a bit cheaper for the unit (beast x)

[ddracer]

They are fantastic for sure, infact I'm thinking of upgrading my other k3d with the same set up. I am however going to up my cyclic as well but wanted to get used to it (and trust it) first.

Which were the bits in the initial set up that were tricky or not clear in the manual? Just curious as looking at this or a V bar blue, but I like the fact that you don't need a PC connected to the heli to set up the Beast unlike the V bar where most stuff is done on the laptop.

Cheers
