    Interestingly I purchased the Align parts to make up the FBL head for my 450 and a Beastx on Sunday. Hoping they arrive today... not that I have time to get it built at the moment. Have flown a friends 550e which was lovely, so stable.

            Beast x works ok with analogue servos I have hs65 mgs in mine for 10 months no probs just make sure you set servo frequency at 50 hz purple light I think it was ;-)

                  Hopefully getting my beast x and rjx head today. Anything I need to know about fitting them on a 450 pro? Setup wise etc.
                  Cheers

                    When you first power it up I'd recommend disconnecting all the servo to swash links because the servos may move to some unusual positions and cause binding and if you're really unlucky (like me) you will blow all three of your cyclic servos in a few seconds. lol

                        Got everything setup, need to adjust a few things to get resolution sorted. One thing I'm struggling with, is the blade grip balls appear to be to big for the align ball ends? I can get them on but they seem to
                        Bind. I've reamed them out a bit but still tight. I need some different parts?

                            Just pop off the horns befor you atempt to do set up and make sure the Beast X knows what servos you wish to use, imo Digital servos are best. if you can't borrow one get yourself one of these r c logger's

                              Ta cuppa, will take note of all that. What should I be doing about the balls that are to big on
                              The blade grips?
                              Cheers
