beast X tail question

basically the tail is acting like a lack of gain when in flight and imo it is showing this on the bench aswell.

check out the vid-also note i'm not holding rudder over when i'm yawing the heli so it should be responding. the problem is the radio is at 100%, it is 100% the correct channel as the beast X lights adjust accordingly and is set to red for the tail gain.

anyone came across this or is this what it should do and i should look elsewhere for my prob?

any help would be great.

as a test i'm going to turn the light on the beastX to blue (i.e up the gain in the menu) and try again and see what it does.

cheers

i had a ds620 servo do that maybe try a different servo

[raptorheli2]

i have another bls251 lying on the bench. i'll certainly give it a go but this servo came out my flying 700 2 weeks ago-i doubt it is that but certainly worth a dabble.

i'm more interested if the above is normal for a beast x? i assume yours does not do this?

can you do me a favour-put your rudder hard over and yaw the heli the opposite way-does the servo start to move instantly or do you need to yaw it for maybe 20deg before the servo tries to start to counter it?

Just watched your video Paul, Definately a problem there and that is far from right.

Mine reacts instantly when putting the thing through the same test as yours.

[raptorheli2]

another servo-same deal.

FYI i put the unit on the blue setting for highest gain-same deal.

tim-if you wiggle the stick does the servo keep moving?

i have the USB lead here-maybe worth a re-flash before condemning it.

cheers

Yes mate instantly.

[raptorheli2]

what tail servo tim?

cheers

[rapidgaz]

Might be a daft 1, but is the settings right for your servo type.

[raptorheli2]

yup-760.

i just put an 8900g on there with 1520 and it's the same.

i'm going to fly it again and see. i found on HF most use the blue tail setting for the gain on 90's so i've done that-we shall see again.

cheers

[millerman]

have you tried taking the unit apart and filling it with silicone it seemed to work well on my 3g unit

[machasm]

That is definately not right.
The servo should move instantaneously.
Same with yawing the heli.
I have mine on very high HH gain on the beast (constant blue) and gain pretty high on the Tx too.

I would be tempted to bind the whole system to your DX7 and another Spektrum receiver Paul.

Its looks like a very poor connection between receiver and TX to me.

Start to look beyond the BeastX instead of at it.

Worth a shot IMO.

I think this may the root of my tail issue, not having this setting high enough.

I will try this the next time I'm out.

Sorry to hijack a little but out of interest Tim, what is your setting here on the 700?

Dont think I have seen you say before.

[machasm]

Love your signature gif of the paper folding Ben. :-)

Ben

Settings are all default apart from the Control behaviour is set to *Extreme* instead of *Sport*

Tail heading lock gain is set on default *Solid red* with my DX7 gain on 48%

BeastX is mounted on 1mm double sided tape, I ditched to softer stock pad in favour of this due to the similar problems "wagging" you guy's are having.

I have also mounted the BeastX unit on the rear of the frame (boom mount) for extra stability.

Here is a couple of pictures of the way mine is mounted.





And Paul I have to say I was wrong in my assumption..

Just done a little video of mine behaving the same as yours when wrenching the sticks side to side, It does fail to respond at high speed but obviously doesnt affect the flying.

This is the same 700 I flew yesterday with no problems at all.

Obviously reactions at high speed it doesnt like, I wonder if flybarred helis respond the same way.
