Torque compensation on Beastx

[Eckchaz]

As per title.. does anyone know how to do it.. I'm getting a twitchy tail on the 500.. its more noticable compared to the 50+ size models and I cant dial it out through the gain!

Download the software from the beastX forum, plug in your Beast adapter and go from there. Don't think it's going to solve a twitchy tail though. Is it not holding when you apply full collective or is it twitchy all the time?



Download the software here Beast X Micro Settings

Sorry mate, i should have been clearer... I used the term "twitch" but its actually just not holding, its only when I apply some collective from a hover or pitch pump.. theres a little 1-2cm flick

I'll get it plugged in and go from there.. Cheers Dave

Are you sure it's not a gain/head hold problem Eddie. I've not heard of nor seen any issues with the tail on the 500. At least not holding when adding collective, you'll always get a little bit as the gyro will take a moment to catch up. What happens if you pump the gain right up and use a lower head hold setting. Or, for that matter vice versa, a low gain and a high head hold. I had problems with my 600 and it took me a good few tanks to get anywhere near a good hold, I still get the odd swing though. Not all the time.

TBH Dave.. Beastx was only fitted to the 500 last night and I just used the "low" head hold setting on the unit (like the 600, which is fine) and adjusted the gain on the Tx.. I didnt change the Head hold at all today. It is the catch up flick that i'm not liking as its on every collective which I dont have on the 600. I simply thought it was there due to the higher HS

Weather permitting tomorrow, I think I will play with the head hold and gain settings to see how I get on first

Try upping the setting on the beast and slightly lowering the gain on the tx.

The higher headspeed should help mate, which way is it swinging, Left or right

Left mate and i'm not running a flat curve.. even in IU and around 2850HS

Oh I forgot to say mine has a twitch in pitch pumps - think most gyros will on .50 size and above. There's just that much torque.

Wake up Harry! lol.. your having another Ebay moment like your books!.. its on the 500.. its because I dont have them on my .50 or .90, as to why i was asking! I will try different setting tomorrow.. I was just lazy and used similar setting to the 50 & 90 as I knew they worked

Haha I'm tired, and I didn't read the whole thread!

Just a thought but how about adjusting the mechanical gain? Move the ball in or out on the tail servo horn to see if any improvement.

Cheers Chris.. didnt think about that either.. I'll try this after playing with the other settings first!

Could you use revo mix with the beastX?

Look at the post By Dave.. you can with the usb link..

I've been out again but only took 3 packs as short on time today. I've got it down but I still got to play around and i'm also getting a wagging tail with Fast forward/backwards flight loops etc.. but i'm still loving the 500 with Beastx.. cant wait once its dialled in!
