Beastx in TX mode

[Brod]

If i set 'user defined in all parameter letters,and then save and get out of Parameter mode,does that mean i can adjust all end points etc without going back into Parameter again,ie in flight mode?
or do i have to adjust tx stuff while still in parameter,then save.?

Tx mode is simply the cyclic speed and expo etc. In all of the other presets, such as sport, extreme etc, the rates and expo are predefined. In tx they are 100% and 0% expo I assume, so that the user can set their own custom values via the Tx. All other parameters should be set as normal.

So once the parameter is set to Transmitter, you can change your EPA and expo as many times as you like; you don't need to re-enter the paramater to "teach" it your new values or anything. I have my elevator at 120%, and my roll at 125% with -15% expo (futaba)

Thanks,new to beastx so wasnt sure.
makes life easier in TX mode for quicker adjustments 'on the grass'

Exactly mate. Plus, although I'm no Hardcore3D pilot (yet! ) I found even Extreme to be too slow on the cyclics. I like "tweakability"

[Brod]

Crikey,on my newly FBL'd nitro K3D cyclic seemed fierce and tail piros ballistic in 'standard sport mode'.
Its mainly the tail rudder speed i want to slow down a bit.
i prefer precision flying.
Are you using the beastx sticky pad?

[Planehazza]

Yeah I have tamed my rudder down a bit too, yaw rate was insane! I think Made2Fade has his rudder down at about 70%.

Nah mate, I had the white foam pad and it nearly wrote off my model as the BeastX seems to prefer a solid mount. I'm actually using a very thin spartan mount (basically double sided tape) and an ALIGN velcro tab to secure it down. Works a treat

On test last nite,first flights,i was getting bad tail wag,no amount of gain etc would rid it.BUT just taken the rudder servo arm off to feel for any stickyness etc mechanically,blow me down,its as stiff as poker,amazed the 9254 actually moved it.Must be a build up of nitro exhaust and dirt.
I'll swap the controller tape over while i'm at it.

Did you just adjust the EPA on rudder to tone the tail down a bit? kinda dont like expo.

>> tail piros ballistic in 'standard sport mode'
check the manual: in one mode, you can bypass the gyro, when stick deflection exceeds a threshold. It's shown by the LED, when this happens, and you should set rudder endpoints in the Tx so that this does not happen.
Unless you want to use it for "special effects", of course.

Goin now to do some testing..

Thanks mate, I did not know this

As i got ready to set TX mode i noticed my Parameter B was in blue flashing extreme,no wonder cyclic was a bit fierce last nite.lol
set it to sport,red flashing,and now flies smooth like my Atom FBL,even rudder is not ballistic no more,just right for fast piros if needed but slow enough mid stick for precision slow flying.
BUT tail still wagging a bit,did the thin tape thing earlier and set the parameter D to low and tried very low then adjusted via TX gyro gain.Nowhwere nr. as bad as last nite with the binding tail slider shaft but still a bit of a downer.
before FBL and the Beastx with a 401 and 9254 servo,it had zero wag with this setup.
