beast x swash query

[raptorheli2]

just setup my beast x on the velocity 90 and i noticed on the bench when you put in full forward elev for example the swash also lifts/drops slightly depending on what pitch you have. it is almost like it is set to 140 deg and not 120 (which i've treble checked, "I" is set to flashing red).

is this normal or has anyone else found this?

cheers

Am checking now ......

[Sieze2]

No mine doesn't do that at all. Elevator or aileron inputs don't make the swash move up or down at all. You sure there is no mixing in the transmitter? Thats the first place I would check?

[rapidgaz]

or a mechanical differance on the servo linkages maybe. try disconecting the beast and check it using the normal 120 degree mixin g thru tx and see if it still does it

[raptorheli2]

nope-mixes all inh on 14mz and swash type set to 90.

it won't do it on 120 through tx as i just renamed and reset one of my flying 700's and it didn't do it.......strange.

cheers

[raptorheli2]

just made clean model and it still does it.

something not right here. it is only a tiny amount but i don't think it should be there.

another thing is- is the servos meant to be slow on ail/elev? pitch is fine. i assume that is ok?

cheers

[rapidgaz]

normal for slow elev/ail when on the deck

[Eckchaz]

Nope.. mine doesnt do it either.. and like Gaz mentioned.. weird slow movement on deck!

Do a beastx reset, the only other thing I can think of is aile servo's wired wrong side although your setting up in 120% but you have 4 setup options (red)

[ade999]

Sounds to me like you may have selected the incorrect 120 deg setup, there is 4 choices with the red light flashing.. i have seen this before and it was a setup issue once correct setting was chosen the unit worked Correctly as it should.

Hope this helps

[Dave Rand]

Is the eccm in the radio set to 1 servo

[raptorheli2]

yup

cheers

way i set it up could be wrong yes as the instructions are nothing short of diabolical.

what i done was i got elev/ail going right way by swapping servos about but the pitch was reversed. i reversed the pitch in the radio and all moves as it should.

i have no idea what the hell the 4 options under red do but the one it is on is the only one which maes the swash move the way it should.

cheers

You must not swap the servos over to get it right,they must be connected as described.

Put them in sockets as per instructions,on the swash mix part(I) use collective as a guide to get the correct one of the four flashing light options( direction can be reversed in TX but servos working together you are looking for),then when thats right reverse elev or aileron if needed to get them right.

So use the one of four flashing light options to get collective in unison function right first then reverse relevent Tx channels second.

[Jamin_00]

No, mine don't either.

If your awash is moving in the right directions then that step is correct as only 1 of the options will have the swash moving as it should.

So far all problems have been user related with the beastx and I am defo not doubting your ability but I bet shortly we will see "ah found it, it was....."
