BeastX and 12FG question.

[Rctintin]

I am trying to set up my BeastX with my Futaba Tx. I am using a 6008HS Rx, not S-Bus.

In menu point A, I have set it with no light, so std Rx. Then, on page 22 (V2 Firmware) it says press button 'shortly' to save this setup, and to move to menu point B (or finnish if standard Rx is selected).

This is my problem, I need to get into menu B, as I need to change the 'Input channel assignments', because on the 12FG, Ch3 is Pitch, and Ch6 is Throttle.

How do I get into Menu point B without it finnishing as mentioned above?

Many thanks for any help offered, Rob.

Hi Rob.. Sorry if I'm being stupid (as Speccy user) or misunderstood your question But the Beastx does not have a throttle channel.. that still runs off you rx.. so wouldnt that mean all you have to do is run the throttle from your Rx as normal and channel 3 stays the same?

Not teaching you to suck eggs.. but does this help you

Rob.. I think I've understood the OP now.. I think its the "waffling" manual thats confusing you.. Ignore the page 22-33 after selecting Standard receiver with no light.. wire as per diagram above and you should be there

Don't have servos plugged in until after the types and speeds are set. The settings for your servos can be found on Beast X website.
Here:-
-= BEASTX - BE ABSOLUTE STABLE =-
Once you have set to no light for receiver then go to Page 34
The pages in between are only for S Bus or Satellite receivers plugged into Beast X. You have a standard receiver. No need to change channels.
The most important page is 19, setting up transmitter.
You must have no swash mixing in the transmitter, no trims or subtrims and a straight line pitch curve.
Once you have set orientation of Beast X, servo types,etc, then plug in servos.
Go through tail setup.
Menu G is Very Important.
Setting up the servo centre points. Then adjust servo rods to get level swash and the wash out arms also level, don't use pitch rods to adjust the arms, use servo rods.
When the wash out arms and swash are level then use the pitch rods to get Zero pitch.
'H' select swash type.
'G' select one where the all servos move in the same direction, doesn't matter if it's the wrong direction yet.
If swash is now moving the WRONG direction use Reverse in Tranny on PITCH servo.
'G' is very important. Set your pitch gauge to6deg and adjust pitch with aileron stick. If no blue light then follow the manual.
If Blue light then move on.
Takes a few trial and errors but you eventually grasp what they are meaning and it comes into place.
PM me if you are still stuck and I can call you.
Cheers

Got it now guys, thanks for the advise.

My mistake was to look at the channels on the S-Bus input channel assignment on page 23,(even though I am not using S-Bus on this Heli) and then at the 'Teaching customized channel order' on page 25. I thought I would have to set all my channels up!!

Cheers all, Rob.

Glad you got it sorted rob, Sorry I should have realised you were using standard I just assumed it was an Sbus setup

All the best.
