OK so we all knew this day was coming didnt we?
The day when the worlds most impatient, least technicly gifted man gets drawn into the horror that is FBL setup.
So this is where I'm at. I set up the heli with everything plugged direct into the Rx, got everything going the right way no binding and its all at 90 degrees. If it had a flybar (and a gyro) it probably would have flown like that.
So following the instructions I mounted the BeastX and plugged the cables in exactly as the manual says. That was the last point at which I had any idea about what I was doing!!!
So as you can imagine I have a couple of questions, about 200 actually but lets throw out a few for starters.
Although I'm certain I plugged the cables in correctly, certain servos were reversed and the cyclics were not assigned to the right channels is this right?
All the servos move really slowly when plugged into the unit is that supposed to happen?
What is the rotation axis of a Velocity 50?
Why is my tail servo hot enough to fry an egg on when plugged into the FBL unit but ok when plugged direct into the Rx? Is this ok?
I have Align DS 610 cyclics, are they 50hz, 65hz, 120hz, or 200hz?
The manual asks me if my tail servo (an Align DS 650) has a certain number of "somethings", (I cant find the symbol on my keyboard but its like an upside down mirror image "h" and a regular "s") that number would be 960, 760 or 1520?
It then asks the frequency, again its a DS 650 so would it be 50hz, 165hz, 270hz, or 333hz?
When I need to tell it that I want a 120 degree swash it says the red light should flash 1, 2, 3, or 4 times giving 4 possiblilites to adjust servo directions, what does this mean? I managed to get the red light on but couldnt adjust the flashing.
I tried various combinations of reds purples and blues through steps A to E and although I could get the tail sort of functioning I couldnt get anything at all from the gyro, does the whole A through N have to be completed before the gyro will work?

.... 650 is 333hz ... as for midstick it will be 1520 ... as for the others no idea
