BeastX and Perfect Regulators..

[Spanner]

How the bloody hell do I connect it!!

I have a Flex Reg Pro, JR RD921 Rx, and BeastX! I can work it out if it just goes to the Rx and no FBL controller, but I can't see how it will work with the BX in the loop.

The info on the manual/slip of paper is sparse to say the least......

Not the best diagram I've seen. I run the PR Trio on my 600N and have wired the reg to the BeastX with the 3 CCPM 5v connectors which in turn provide power to the (Futaba) RX. This setup runs the tail servo at 5v. It may seem a bit arse back'ards but it works.
I'll try and get a drawing done if you want. Will have to do a bit of thinking if you need HV to the tail though.

Power your receiver in the normal way. The BeastX will be powered from the AIleron, Elevator and rudder

Edit : Just looked at the bloody manual, Jesus. Ignore comment above

I'll try and work it out if you need Spanner

@stillakid, a diagram how you did it would be great, see if its the same way that I'm thinking? If its a ballache I'll return it to FL and get a better/easier to use regulator.

I assume I just plug the Ail/Ele/pitch outputs of the reg to the corresponding inputs of the BX, then the 3 Servo outputs direct to the servos? this would then power the Rx through the BX??

which perfect reg is it?

[Spanner]

Flex Reg Pro

any online manual/PDF?

You've got it. the reg powers the Bx, which in turn powers the Rx. No need for a separate Rx supply. As I said the Bx will supply power for the tail @ 5v though. Not been a problem with my DS620.
It actually gives a fairly neat installation if you work at it!
I can't do the drawing straight away but tomorrow if you're stuck.

No mate, thats what I thought it was, but thought it as odd you would power the Rx through the BX. Cheers chaps.

"Manual" is here Product Manuals You'll understand the question when you see it!

Ah about as useful as tits on a fish

[Spanner]

At least that's in colour, the one that comes with it is a 1/4 of the size and a B+W photocopy!

ha ha good regs crap manual, the way i understand it is plug the reg into the corresponding channel imputs on the beast, then beasts imputs into the rx and the servos into the corresponding outputs on the reg, i'd check the voltage with a meter before you put it into anything first don't want to cook your gear, what tail servo are you using as you may need a step down depending on what you set it to?

Gonna set it up on the align 2 in 1 now as its getting late and I want to fly on Sunday! I'll swap it out the following week!
