Very cool, what am i missing my K3D will hands off but not for that long. I'm guessing I need to up the gain on pot 1 is that right?

is this on the beast, if so have you tried doing the trimming on the unit

[ddracer]

How do you mean?

Impressed, I've seen Tim have many flights, but today you could see confidence in the flight like I've never seen it before, and to see the heli almost "paused" in a hover with hands off the sticks... excellent days flying.

[Sieze2]

He means have you tried menu A (swash fine trimming) in the parameters setup (flashing LED).

[rapidgaz]

How do you mean?

if the heli is drifting left/right/forward.backwards then in the menu where you push button and have a flashing "a" you adjust the swash in the opposite direction to the drift. when doing this just do small movment at a time then retest. once done it should not need doing again.

[ddracer]

When I have to take the sticks the direction it has started moving is random. I thought that was for drift in just one direction I will re read the manual.

some awesome( head + beast X combo only )prices here,
AutoPilot*&*V-Bar*-*Radio*Control*Helicopters

50 pounds saving compares to UK prices for a 600 RJX head and beastx.

[Smudgyboy]

Just received my combo from 'rcmarket' for my Align 500.

Very happy still need to install it after reading the manual in depth (thank you Asid, just printed it out 50 pages)

Another thing that struck me was how small it is, had to put my glasses on to see the text on front!

[sacko]

Balls!

Already ordered my 500 head.

It's all quiet important lol. Remember that it takes it's power from the elevator channel so if you have a 5v tail servo you will need to take that into account. I was using a ar7100 which has regulated tail channel but unregulated cyclic channel hence the beastx was over volts on the tail servo.

Hi,

Due to the common 'power bus', doesn't this mean that the tail is getting 8v? Not good for a BLS251 even if it is rated at 6v!

I would have thought that if you migrate the 'power pair' from the tail servo plug (Ch4) to the Rx end of the Yaw lead, the servo will still be getting all the right signals AND the regulated voltage from the AR7100.

Yes?

Would be nice to hear of an official verdict from BeastX regarding this.

Not that I own a BeastX yet, I would have said that if you make up a lead with the power from the 7100 and the signal wire from the BeastX you have the correct voltage and set up to run the tail servo without the fear of over voltage.

Like this you mean?

BeastX Admin: Yes exactly. The MB has only one powerbus, all "+" and "-" are connected. So when you connect Ail and Ele to the receiver the MB will get 8V which is no problem. But of course don't connect the tailservo directly if it only can handle 4,8 or 6 V.

BeastX Admin: That should work
