Swash moves back to level like it is in treacle!

[450man]

I have just bound my DX8 to the 450X for the first time and I am rather concerned at the servo responses.

It has the stock settings on the DX8 from the manual and all I have done is bind the heli to the TX and wiggle the cyclic. When I move the cyclic away from centre the servos seem to respond at what looks like normal speed but when I centre the stick the servos return to centre like they are moving in treacle. It takes a good 2-3 seconds before the swash is level again. In the case of the tail rotar servo it doesn't return at all to centre and just stays at full throw.

There is also another issue in that it only takes about 1/2 cyclic stick or tail stick movement to move the servos to max throw. Surely that isn't right on the out of the box settings?

That's normal on a beast x/ spektrum 7200

[ghost2212]

+1 on that being perfectly normal

[Curryzz]

Yeah my 450x does that

As above, this is completely normal behaviour from the swash and tail with Beastx.

Ah thanks. Sorry to trouble y'all. I read that when a BeastX heli is on the ground it can do funny things. It just likes to be in the air when the gyros can do their thing I suppose.

Next stop is to install the telemetry module and then it is waiting for better weather.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

When you move the sticks you arent telling the servos to move, you are telling the BX to rotate the heli x amount of degrees. Thats why it returns slowly, it is waiting for the heli to move, and will only level off slowly unless the heli moves to the position youve just commanded it to. If you move the rudder and then rotate the heli in the direction you just told it to move, youll see the servo will re-center, because the heli has acheived the commanded rotation you just gave it from the tx.

Its the same with the cyclics but they will always return to centre eventually. Im not sure why, maybe its something to do with some algorithms in the BX telling it not ever to just hold a cyclic position to avoid the heli being locked into a roll.

[450man]

Yes of course! Thanks Delarado. Makes sense now.

[450man]

OK, I have an admission to make so it it fess up time

Read the manual more thoroughly now and it does mention about the swash slow return to level.

A case of RTFM I am afraid.
