Back to the Beast!

[Jamin_00]

And what a royal PITA the set up is so far. I guess this is only due to me doing loads of Vbars lately

Its just so long winded going through all these letters but anyway, its going on the Protos 500 and will be done today ready for a maiden next weekend or a sneaky if Im lucky mid week flight.

Just one question I can see popping up, what do the 3 pots do again?? There is a very good explanation of it somewhere on here but cant find it

[waveydavey]

The first pot is the cyclic gain, the 2nd is the cyclic direct gain, essentially how much of your stick input goes direct to cyclic control and pot 3 is the tail dynamic, how hard your end stops are. Have you watched the Beast setup videos Ben. They're pretty good

exactly why i have a cgy750 sat infront of me

[waveydavey]

It's a doddle to set up, if a ham fisted Geordie can do it without too much aggro then you fly boys aren't gong to have too much aggro. I recently went back to V1 after tail issues and I reckon I went through the setup in about 15mins.

The Futaba does look good though

[squeaky pete]

ultimate sexyness i must say neways, enough high jacking!! ben..... enjoy the headache lol

[Jamin_00]

I remember it being easier than it is lol.

Futaba not for me I think. Only got this Pete as they cheap and it on the beater so the idea is keeping it all cheap and everyone raves how good the V2 is.

(I have a mini Vbar sitting here as back up tho )

[Gate88]

I managed it! And I have absolutely no patience, technical ability, or comprehension of instruction manuals. If it hadn't been for me trying to set it up on a 3 servo swash setting it would have been a complete doddle!

[squeaky pete]

as back up lmao ive never set on up, but, i have been flyin one on a ely 90, flew fine, tail takes alot of work to get right, but was fine after that

[trillian]

I also found the Beast X very frustrating in the beginning until I got a bit used to the way it's laid out.

One word of caution about the pots, if you even just breath on them the change can be drastic. I had to fiddle with them when
I was trying to get the 450 to fly correctly and the tiniest move and you can go from OK to almost unflyable.

On the Ely.Q I have them all in the default position and haven't felt a need to change them, everything works really well.

[challis349]

Crazy, you have a mini v as a back up lmao

[chris jones2.4]

I find the beastx a breeze to set up, saying that, I want to put mine back on version one but can't find out how to do it

You talkin to me, eh? EH?!!

Joking
I'd love the Futaba FBL, but tbh I can barely even justify the cost of the beastX, as my flying level simply doesn't need, or make use of FBL yet. The GY750 sure is purdy!

You need the USB Chris.. then go on the BeastX website and download version 1 and update it to the unit... Simples

For me it was confusing but after attempting to set it up then reseting all the settings to default and starting again I got it.
Also, Jamin_00 I forgot to reset it but by the sound of it it's ok for you.

[Jamin_00]

Yea, no need to reset as i doing it all again.

1 thing, should I have subtrims at 0 before I start??
