450 Pro and HS-5065

[craigjell]

I have just just upgraded my MicroBeast from V2 to V3.
I've gone through the setup again and at the stage where your looking for a Blue light at 6 degrees cyclic, I used to get the blue light on V2 but now with V3, I don't. The servo arms are too far up at about 11 o'clock and binding when I move to 6 degrees. Does V3 change the servo movements that much?

Anyway, my question is, does anyone else have a successful setup with the following:
450 Pro, RJX head, HS-5065 servos and of course MicroBeast V3
If so, what distance from centre are the ball links on your cyclic servo horns? What position are your dials on the beast?

P.S I'm using these breakable arms, 3rd hole out from the centre.

Sounds like you need more resolution matey, use the inner most holes for most fbl systems. Hopefully this should solve the issue.

Cheers Lynx, I'll give that a try - I was just hesitant because it worked so well on V2. I also wasn't sure of the consequence of them being too far in but, I guess there's only one way to find out ...

V3 hasn't made any difference to my mechanical setup but I was already in one on my servo horns, it sounds mechanical on yours cos your saying ii's binding at 6 degrees are you setting it up with swash levelling tool!

Yes, I always ensure its completely level with the tool and at 0 degrees during setup.
Are you using 5065 servos, is that one hole from the centre and are they standard horns?

Both my 450's v3 pro with Savox & Mini-T 5065's, both are one hole in with the pro horns, could be your swash may need to come down/up if its binding on 6 degrees have you tried 6 degrees going the other way.

Possibly, I'm not sure how high it should be with the RJX head on a pro but, there is plenty of clearance with full +/- . I haven't tried for 6 degs on the other side (if you mean trying for -6 degs) so thats another thing to try.
If your one hole in and flying then I think I'll try the same. Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try this evening and post my results.

Hi Craig, You can't go back into J' geometry if you've already saved previous setting, J' is the one you can't alter once saved" will need to default the beastx unfortunately & start again.

I see, I usually start at G - servo centering and do H,I, J and K.

I can't move the balls in further as the elevator servo link binds on the case. The holes on these arms are weirdly spaced and I haven't drilled my own because the arms are very weak as it is...

I went through the setup again very carefully, centered the servos and levelled the swash, 0 pitch and on step J, I managed to get 6° and the blue light.
At step L though, there are serious binding issue at min and max pitch, especially with the elevator binding on the AR bracket. The servo arms are almost vertical! When I limit the throw, I get a purple or no light at all!!!

Before I go back to the mechanical setup again, I wonder if this'll still be okay because I'll be using Control Behavior - Sport or Pro which possibly wont tilt the swash enough to bind. Or set Control Behavior to Transmitter and limit the throw with ATV. Does this sound okay?

I'm going to give it a test hover this lunch and see how she flys.
