Sounds pretty much like my experiences with beastx Ben. Generally good but when pushed Iffy tail consistency and bounce on servo's. Shame I never could fully resolve them when flying aggresively.

**Jamin_00** · 11-09-2011, 04:20 PM

I will upgrade to V3 and if that don't resolve the issues I will just replace with a Vbar

but with all the comments flying around I'm expecting it to work well

**cupracing** · 11-09-2011, 08:27 PM

Just stuck a beast on my pro to see what it's like, im waiting for good weather to test it but from your experience, I'm not expecting great things now as I do like to thrash the 450. oh well, I will stick a vbar on it if it's crap as that rocks on the 550

I have a beast on my 500 and love it, V3 does sort the piro out. Like most things its all in the setup, take your quick ref card to the field and play with it (the beastx) but its not for every one if your a avid vbar fan lets face it your going to prefer vbar. The beast certainly is better than i need at the moment

**Jamin_00** · 11-09-2011, 09:37 PM

I am an avid vbar fan as it's the nuts but other than the bounce and the piro consistency on the beast it flew well. Like I said in my first post idid enjoy flying the Heli, it did not ruin the experience and if v3 sorts these 2 issues I will have some more fun.

As for the set up I did not play with any of the fine tuning parameters, that I will do with the v3 and once I can find the thread that explains what each of the pots do again

**Randall** · 11-09-2011, 09:41 PM

ah well if you did not touch the fine tuning parameters then you cant really judge it, im not at extreme stage of aerobatics but i do sling mine about i have found playing with these settings really affect the way it flys, its all a bit docile on the stock settings.

Oh and i left the pots all alone just used the parameter menu after of course setting up with the setup menu

**Jamin_00** · 11-09-2011, 10:08 PM

But all the reports I see are that it's fine on stock settings!

Just saying, mine was not.

I have not even looked in the manual as to what exactly the fine tunings are. I will do so right now.

**cupracing** · 11-09-2011, 10:18 PM

you havent looked at the manual and you managed to set it up?

took me ages to set mine up, vbar is alot easier in this respect.

**Jamin_00** · 11-09-2011, 10:21 PM

Er, no, just the fine tuning bit I have not looked at until now.

I do however having now looked fail to see what in them menus can solve my issues. I feel it is more to do with the pots so need to look at these.

**waveydavey** · 11-09-2011, 10:55 PM

Ben before adjusting anything I would seriously consider going to V3. V2 wasn't very good when all's said and done.

**Jamin_00** · 11-09-2011, 11:15 PM

OK, will save messing around with it, thanks

**choppaholic** · 12-09-2011, 12:37 AM

Ben, had my first flight on the V3 500 today and you know how gusty it was today. v1 to v2 i didn't feel any difference but v3 is a massive change. the heli is so locked in and tail is perfect no pyro both sides consistently and hold a lot better. for the ELE wobble you have to play with the 1st pot parameter C on flashing menu. i personally never had to try these but it may help.

oh you got to play with the cyclic response and pitch boost function, these make it so much flybar like and the cyclic response is outstanding, ALE tick toc are so crisp, with backward flight now a breeze, the turns are so locked in and predicable since the tail is now so well controlled. it just felt awesome.
i havent flown a Vbar but V3 is a dam good upgrade. it just flies right and no more nasty flips and kickouts on high pitch moves.

Isn't there a 'pitching up' behaviour setting in there somewhere - that might help. So might a firmer pad to stop the bounce.

Evning Ben we have 3 trex 500 on v3 at our club, thay were on v2 we found on v2 it worked best with beast set to tx(blue in pm) and use the rates in tx for aile and ele 110 all round works like rate for rudder speed (rate), 115 sould be about 52% gain on v2 same on v3 we have found pots 1,2,and 3. seem to like 1 oclock ish + . with h/s 13t pinion idle 1 85% 2@95%. put my beasty v3 500 up today, just seemed to shrug off the howling wind, joy one of our more nevous pilots put his newly upgraded beast X v3 up today landed with a big grin! all our 500 on v3 are set up more or less the same, i know cuz i do them for the guys we and i am sure i can speak for the other chaps. we love them even more than v2 the thing makes it perfom so dam well! deep joy! if your piru rate l/r is wonk check you have (N) pirouett optimisation dir in corectly and no pre set pitch on tail rotor 0 degrees.
