Trex 700

[Kwickkwack]

I have just fitted a BeastX to my second 700 and took it for its maiden flights yesterday.
I know have one with Align 3G and this one with Beastx
The question is, is it any different, well the short answer is yes, in my opinion the whole thing feels a little more locked and worked pretty much at stock settings, I have a few minor adjustments to make and need to get the governor working properly (almost cut out in flight). but all in all very happy.
I also did some mechanical mods on the 700 as well
700e Main shaft (slightly shorter)
700E bell cranks and A frame arm (reduced throw on arm)
I think I will do these mods on the other 700 to get a true comparison then probably change that one to BeastX as well.

A good day yesterday and 3/4 of a bottle burnt

Off to top up all the packed ready for the rest of today

Well after a little tweaking, It was off to a two hour lesson with Darren at Rapid Rotors. The wind was pretty strong today, occasionally justing up to around 20mph, but after a minor tweak or two from Darren, I cannot believe how good this is. Nose into wind hover at about 20' hands off, and only slowly being blown back.
This gives me confidence to try new things
Inverted Circuits
Continuous rolls across the field (6 I counted )
Reasonably stationary inverted pirouette
And finally pass in front along the line whilst pirouetting (inverted).

What a fantastic day, almost two bottles of Opti 20 burnt this weekend

God I love this hobby

Glad your liking the Beast Rob.

Seems you are flying more than me lately.

[Kwickkwack]

Not for long though Tim I suspect

I must make a point of getting over to see you guys, maybe after I get back from Holiday we can arrange something.
