My Beast X arrives tomorrow.. CANT WAIT!

[jayfrs]

Well my beast x is tomorrow and i cant wait, I am putting it in my trex 700 I hope i like it, been thinking about trying it for a while so i phoned around trying to find one and on my last call they had them in stock!

I am not sure what to expect i am no hardcore 3d pilot (YET) but i will be one day. all being well i will be flying the BEAST over the weekend so i will let you know what i think!

One last thing do you have to have flybarless blades?

Many thanks

You don't "need" flybarless blades. Danny Lock flies his 700 to very good effect with the Beast on a 700 with Rotortech blades. Another top pilot at champs who by rights should be using 3G was using beast I believe with std blades. Dave at my club flies an Outrage 550 with Maniacs and a Beast, I have had a go and it feels very natural. However when you need a new set of blades I would highly recommend a set of Edge flybarless blades, they don't cost anymore and give it an even more on rails feel, it is only slight but you can feel a difference, or I think you can anyway. But I fly vbar so it may make no difference at all to the beast.

I too used RotorTech 710's and when I got some Radix 710 FBL blades I could not tell a difference.

Maybe someone with more experience could but I could not

Awesome, I'm ordering RIGHT NOW incase they sell out!

[Planehazza]

Ordered! Were you charged for postage?

[jayfrs]

No mate i asked for free shipping from skyline i thought 2x beasts and a 700 FBL head was enough money! LOL

Nice one. They didn't charge me from the online shop, maybe they have some promotion or something?

[jayfrs]

happy days! what heli you fitting the beast into?

The Skyline website doesn't seem able to include shipping - there is a note that says shipping will be added - it's generally a couple of quid or so.

Ah np. Only ordered a beastx and some spare foam pads, so postage shouldn't be extortionate.

jayfrs, I'm putting it into an ElyQ Vision 50 Comp. Haven't even got it properly trimmed yet and I'm already upgrading it. I have been dying to try FBL for ages, and I was starting to get sick of constantly tweaking the cyclock, so I thought sod it - I can only make myself more skint

You've got no worries about your first maiden as the Beastx parameters are default set to 'medium' which will make your heli very relaxed.
The parameter settings is what you use to set" for you style of flying, 3d flyers need to set more towards the 'extreme' setting 'my setting' or if your scale or just circuit flyer then suggest 'sport or pro' good thing with the beastx is you can play with the parameters at the field & don't need a laptop.
