Rage 550 FBL with the Beast

[Dave Rand]

Well the Rage has gone FBL
Just a quick post to say wow!! how easy is this thing to set up brilliant.
the biggest issue was caused by my wife wanting the laptop, so I had to read the manule on my Iphone then open the Ihandy level (I fixed my Iphone to a pitch gauge) set the pitchs then go back into the manule. but got there in the end, really looking forward to flying this tomorrow

What time you heading up the field?

[Swashbuckler]

Dave it's manual not manule I would have thought you might have come across this being a mechanic.......tsk

And that's my swash driver and that means.......... bagsy second go!

[Dave Rand]

I've got a bloody property inspection at 5 :-( so not sure when I'll get there, maybe 6ish

[Jamin_00]

Make sure you do get there!!

You will like it, of that I have no doubt

[Dave Rand]

Now it's started raining ffs

[GravityKills]

yes, it's a pretty decent heli.
I wish there were proper flybarless blades in 550 size.

[Dave Rand]

Well braved the howling wind and rain.
This beast x is superb let it spool and punched in some pitch and up she went sat there 2foot of the floor completely still no movement what so ever, checked the tail found gain to low upd it a bit much better will fine tune it with some pie dishes another day.
Then tried a bit of ff all very uninteresting full speed into wind it just stayed nice and level.
Next nice big stall turn coming down backwards all really nice.
And that's the first flight on stock setting wicked.
Need to speed up the cyclics as it's on sport settings.
Really looking forward to playing with the setting and flying it properly.
Just a shame the weather was so bad :-(

[Dave Rand]

Oh and a massive thank you to Paul,Ben and Mike. For letting me try Fbl wohoo.

[Swashbuckler]

Thats ok looking forward to my turn.

[Dave Rand]

yes, it's a pretty decent heli.
I wish there were proper flybarless blades in 550 size.

Have you tried the Edge 553mm fbl blades?

[GravityKills]

oops didn't even know they exist :-)
I was searching the web for 550 mm, not 553... I'll order a pair and try.

[SLIPPERY STEVENS]
