Hello,

Out of curiosity, and I'm aware that each machine might be slightly different, was curious where you have found to be the sweet spot for the three dials on the Velocity 50 N2.



Dial 1, cyclic gain
Dial 2, direct cyclic feed forward
Dial 3, tail dynamic

Velocity N2
Edge 623 main, KBDD 96 rotor
OS 55

I have found pots 1,2,3. are sweet for me at one oclock'ish+ (thats on 500,600n,700n, and fusion 50)

cheers

I have been having tuning probs with my beast x on a Rave env, I was using transmitter (blue light) in the control behaviour menu "B" but found the heli really twitchy even with 30% expo on cyclics. Today I removed the expo and reverted to sport "red light" but increased the elevator and ail endpoints to 120 (DX7) and turned the 3 gain pots to 1 o'clock and the difference at the field today was staggering. I no longer have to fight the sticks and all the twitchyness has gone. I had it just off the deck inverted and it was almost hands off it just sat there and felt really locked in. My love affair with this heli has been rekindled a real eureka moment.

My only query would be that increasing the cyclic endpoints in a preset behaviour mode seems to defy the point of the preset but it just seems to work. Anyone else have any thoughts on this ? Is it safe to modify a preset or will this have a detremental effect in some way ??

Another question regarding setup,or rather, choice of cyclic servo.
Tx Futaba 14SG, Rx Futaba 7008SB. Power source 2S LiPo.

I wish to run the Microbeast from the SBus channel of the receiver, thence to the tail servo (MKS HBL990) and cyclic servos.
1. Do the cyclic servos have to be SBus compatible, or will normal servos (like the Align DS615) run off the Microbeast ports just fine?

2. As my throttle servo is a Savox 0251, my system will be running at 6V, hence i will need to employ my very reliable ElyQ regulator. But would it be worth getting high voltage cyclic servos so i can eventually run at 7.4V?

Thank you for any advice

Servos don't need to be Sbus.
Sbus is just the means of the RX talking to the Beastx, the Beastx controls the servos.
From memory it can work with any servo even analogue ones.

I would say that you don't really need to go HV.
The reasons for going HV would be increased servo performance (which you may or may not notice) &
to avoid potential reliability issue of a regulator or BEC.
The cheapest HV servos are more than double the Aligns 615s though, so it really comes down to if you an afford them or not.
If you expect to crash a lot I would definetly stick with the Aligns.

I've got these digital coreless HV servo's on my X50E and they seem good so far. They are cheaper than Align and I run straight off a 2S 3300mah Lipo

Nope, HV brushless metal case servos for £37 each: GARTT 3PCS/LOT KST BLS815 Brushless High Voltage Metal Gear Servo for 550 700 helicopter-in Parts & Accessories from Toys & Hobbies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

These are top notch servos, super fast and lots or torque, the equal of any costing three times as much. You would be nuts IMHO to buy DS615's

[coptermanic]

Thanks guys, I went with the DS615s.
So next question is about placement of the MicroBeast.
From experience, where do you find to be the best location for the Microbeast on a TRex 600 Nitro?

Thanks guys, I went with the DS615s.

As Grumpy says above you'd be nuts to go with the worst servo Align have ever produced. So many failures, especially after a bump, pot failures and gear sets a plenty. This after perhaps one of the best servos they ever produced the 610. Or go for the equivalent the Savox SC 1258TG, around £45

The best place for the Beast is on the servo tray above the pitch and aileron servos
