  • hardly any tail movement

    [EDIT - sorry - I'm a numpty...after I typed this the little light popped on in my head...I hadn't adjusted the Gyro gain in the tx so they were both at 50%. I went through and set both HH and Rate to 'G' as per the BeastX manual and it all looks OK now...so ignore the below (unless you want to berate me )]

    Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, but I'm finally finishing off my BeastX setup on my Trex 500 (was waiting on some parts!), and I was just checking the amount of travel on the rudder.

    I have gone through point 'E' - Tail rotor endpoint and set the two maximum settings (had to reverse the rudder in tx) and set them till the servo buzzed then backed off until it was silent....so had max throw in each direction and waited till I had the purple LED.

    I go all the way through the other menu items so we have the blue status light and no menu lights (i.e. the 'flight mode') and when I move the rudder stick in either direction I'm getting only a few mm travel in either direction.

    Now, I started with a blank model in my DX6i and haven't touched the pots on the BeastX....so I need to start fiddling with anything in the tx at this stage?

    thanks again - I couldn't do this without your help!
