Increasing BeastX cyclic response

[Vanquish]

I'd like to increase the cyclic response on my Beastx trex 500. After flying it at the weekend i've found that i'm having to move the sticks quite a long way from centre to get a fast flip/roll rate. Up to now this has been fine but I'm starting to fly quite fast manoeuvres/transitions and I think having a faster cyclic response closer to centre stick would suit my flying style.

I currently have the control behaviour (parameter B) set to transmitter with no expo as the extreme setting didn't seem that fast. I'm using Futaba S9650 cyclic servo's with futaba star horns with the link on the outer hole.

Any ideas of a way to speed it up?

Cheers

i have never tried minus expo to make it livlier, dunno wether it would do anything

If you have parameter B set to Tx as you say, it's just a case of upping the endpoints on aileron and elevator channels. I was also going to suggest expo (opposite to normal) - this won't give more overall speed, but you won't have to move the stick as far to achieve it.

I'm not familiar with DX7s, but if you're on Futaba, up them both to 110% on ch1 and ch2, and see how that feels.

ONLY do this when you have the parameter B set to Transmitter though!

Yes, crank up cyclic on the transmitter and set expo to "controlled by Tx".

The cyclic travel distance is ok, really i'm looking for a way to increase the speed over that distance. I've noticed that when your at point L (cyclic travel adjustment) in the beastX setup menu the cyclics move much faster than when you exit the menu. It gives the impression that the beastx is capable of running a much faster cyclic than it currently does.

Is it your roll/elevator rate that needs increasing?
