Out of control

[wadders]

Hi everyone, I updated my beastX from V1 to V3 on my Trex 700N. Running Spectrum 7000 with sat. Collective servos Bls451's, Flighttech 8A regulator.

Ive been flying it on V1 for a while now and have had no probs.

The only thing ive changed is the v1 to v3 update.

Today, I had my 1st flight and all was great, very chuffed with how stable it is!

2nd flight, half way through a tank doing a normal circuit banking right......... My Heli just started going nuts out of control doing very fast piro's and what looked like piro flips! (can't be me, I can't do piro flips yet! ) I managed to gain control back eventually about 3 meters from the ground and landed it in one piece!!!!!! I have no idea how I saved it!

When I landed, I kept it all switched on and checked the rx and sat lights were still on a permanent solid light however the Beastx had a blue flashing light on the status light........

I'm not sure what's gone wrong.......I haven't flown it again as I need to find out what's caused it, as I may not be so lucky next time!

HELP PLEASE!!!!

agreed cheek your update then rebind very thing and make sure all your wires are conected properly and everything is in good order have a look and see if any of the indervidual servo wires have not pushed up in side black conectors,,as make bad conectons some times that can do strange things

I'd get in touch with the guys at Beast X or post on there forum and ask what the Blue flashing light means. They usually reply quite quickly.

according to things on other sites i have read it seems to have something to do with tail gain setting at high results in blue flashing light

"beastx tail heading lock gain is set at high (blue flashing light)"

That's in setup or parameter isn't it? This blue flashing light was after flying......

Have you tried giving everything on you reg a good wiggle to see if there is a loose connection ??

Ye, I tried that, tugged on all the wires seeing if I could replicate the "blue flashing status light". By the way my lipo was still 80%.

I hate issues like these!!!! They so hard to track down....... Seems its rare as no one has said "ye I had that flashing blue status light."
