  • Slight wobble on elevator tic-tocs?

    Hi all,
    I seem to have a problem which others on HF are getting and wondered if anyone is experiencing it here.
    Basically, I get a bit of a wag on the tail when I do elevator tic-tocs or when I flip backwards to inverted.
    Other than that the unit is performing very well.
    I also read that it is better to have the gain on the beast set to "red" and up the gain in the Tx (we are talking tail gain here BTW) than to have it set to blue with lower gain on the Tx.
    Can anyone verify this?
    Thanks.
    Ade.

    Anyone got any comments on this one. Since it is not a flying day (read as p*ssing it down!), could use the time for tinkering.

      I get the same Ade, I was getting a slight kick on the tail whilst doing normal tick tocks and reducing the heading hold and upping the tails dynamic gain has stopped this. I did notice yesterday however that I get an aileron wobble on rolls. I could reduce it by playing with the gains and agility settings but I couldn't get rid of it altogether. Have you noticed this too, on a 600 also by the way with Align D blades and the Align head.

        Thanks WaveyDavey,
        I have set the HH on the Beast back to "red" medium and will increase the gain in the Tx next time I am out. As far as a wobble on rolls. I haven't seen that .... yet.
        But the roll rate was quite slow so I am upping the ATV on Ael and I will see what happens. If it starts to wobble then I will report back here.
        I am running this on a 700N in "radio" mode i.e. not using one of the presets. Might this make a difference to your problem Dave?
        Ade.

          Try fastening a velcro strap gently round the BeastX unit Ade.

          Not tight but just holding it slightly firmer than what you have now.

          As Dave has already mentioned play around with the parameters and the gains values, I had the same but got it dialled in nice now.

            I was doing the same Ade and reduced the flip rate as it was more than my noodle could cope with and upped the role rate slightly but if felt a little un balanced. I went to the pro setting with a bit of expo and I had 3 or so flights like this yesterday and it felt a bit more settled.

            I'm recording what I'm doing as I want to try and understand what the different settings and combinations are doing. Going well though mate.

              Will give the strap a go Tim (Sounds dodgy that :-) )
              I had to up the flip rate on mine Dave and will be upping the roll rate too.
              Just as a matter of caution, I thought that you were not supposed to use any expo with the presets (apart from radio) as they already have some expo built in. Adding expo then creates double expo making the controls a bit unpredictable.

                You know what your right, I thought it felt a bit softer than I expected. Back to the tx settings then and a bit of expo.
