In this video we continue with the setup for the AR7200BX/BeastX. Please follow along to complete the setup menus and get the swash plate nice and level.
i cant thank you enough for your advice and fantastic videos, these are a massive help to people in the hobby that dont have an experienced help to hand. youve been doing a fantastic job for your fellow enthusiasts.
Freddy - this is a superb training video! You've taken something very complicated and broken it down into understandable chucks. You seem to be a gifted educator. Something to consider if you ever decide to change careers.
I have had for a year with a very unhappy Align 600XN with Beast X Today I went through all the Beast X set up as per your videos... I am looking forward to testing it now as it was so poor to fly.. Many many thanks . You really explain things so well...UK and Scotland just gone into lock/ down so might be months before I get to whats left of our flying club.....At least the 550 will be finished or out of date... al keep the family safe
Thank you and I wish you the best. Please note there will be two more videos parts #3, and #4 so keep any eye out. That way you do not miss anything during the setup :) best wishes out there and fly safe my friend.
Hiya Freddy i was trying to do all my mixing on the radio !!!!! no wonder I was getting frustrated I had not realized it was all done on the beast x which I have just bought, thanks for great videos
@@33forsaken I am rubbish at flying Heli,s Freddy most of the time I fly my Hubsan drone but I do enjoy building them I am currently building the Align 500 pro with a microbeast x fitted to this I love your videos
Is beastX ur preferred flybarless? I use IKON2 and love it. The app is amazing and very simple to use. Ur way more advanced with setup than me and ikon2 seems great for a dummy like myself. Regardless great series and awesome detail. I could easily setup a beast X with these videos. Can’t wait to see this beast. Just ordered my XL550 and excited to get the build going
Hey buddy thank you for the comment. Yes I have been a beast x guy since day one lol however I also use the Ikon2 as well. I think they are both amazing and fly great.
Awesome video!! (Just about to watch the 3rd part) Quick question… (total newb here) When setting the parameters does it matte what flight mode setting I have my TX on? As in normal “beginner” mode or “Ballistic” 3D mode? TIA
Hi Freddy... I'm at the wiring stage of my 700 xl power specter build. Is it required to use servo wire jackets, for lack of another word, covering? And if yes, any recommendations on product. Thanks man!! You are a tremendous help in this exciting hobby!
Hey broth shoot me a quick IM in messenger or even text me (801)654-2803 and I can give you some good tips. Ill also send over how my wires turned out :)
Hi Freddy, many thanks for your videos, they are simply superb!!!! I am setting up a V5.0 on a Spektrum AR8010T. The MB manual V5.0 calls for playing with the servos end points via 'travel adjust' on the TX to obtain solid lights on the Status Light of the MB for the Setup Menus K and M (of V5.0), these two correspond to 'Collective Pitch' and 'Cyclic Directions' respectively, so you end up playing with Aileron, elevator and Pitch channels end points on the TX to get the solid lights they suggest. My question is if you think that by increasing the travel adjust and having them at different values, i.e. Pitch at 104 while Aileron is at 102, could result on the swash plate not being leveled at its higher and lower positions? This question is related to what you explained on 12:45. Thanks man.
Yes I would say always try (if possible to keep everything even) based on different models and geometry setups it is not always perfect however the system is designed to compensate for some of the small out of adjustment issues.
Ok, so I set in menu G my servos and with the swash leveling tool all are equal. And at 90 at center stick. When I got into menu K my cyclic is off ever so slightly... Do I need to adjust anything or will it be ok? It's very minute amount of gap but I want it to be 100%!! Should I adjust anything or get thru the rest of the setup and see where I'm at when I put my head back on and check my travel?? I just know that when I had the head on before that I was getting much more neg pitch than pos pitch. I don't know how to change that.
When you look from the servo up, as long as your servos are centered, swash is level you can move forward. Also if you finish the next few videos it may help and answer some of your questions. Please let me know.
hi when the beast x is setup up and finished, should my aileron pitch be 6 degree at top and bottom stick so it only banks over 6 degree maximum...is that correct ..
I am on menu K and the swash is dead on level at mid stick, but when I push the swash up to the top end and check it again, my aileron servos are both maybe a mm lower than the elevator servo. I went back and did menu G again as you said, and everything is dead on level, but then back in menu K it is off a mm again. ???
Hi Freddy. Just wondering exactly why in menu 'N' the swashplate will tilt to give more positive pitch in the same direction, no matter where the helicopter is in its rotation. Could it be because pirouettes downgrade the angle of attack of rotor disk, requiring a little pump up by the swashplate to keep the bird from losing its level attitude while pirouetting?
I would say its more or less to teach the system when and where to make its gain adjustments. The piro rotations of the rudder not only start to throw off the CG of the Heli but also acts like a weight going around in circles, causing drift and or pull. So in my best observation of this menu I would say its just the way they designed the software to counter it....
Hello Freddy. I have a problem. I have Trex 500 with Microbeast plus (version 5.7). Problem is when I tilt the heli to check how MBeast Plus compensates the tilts, servos bearly move in any direction. But when I move TX sticks around servos work fine moving full throw. I remember that earlier, during MBeast gyro compensation, servos moved more "alive" and further distance, in short, they were more active. I tried to factory reset and re do setup but it didnt help. Is it a problem with MBeast or servos (chinese ones JX PDI-HV2546MG - cheaper ones)?
Hello Freddy Thanks for the video , pretty much all what you showed on the video I have done correctly that means my 90 degrees servo arms swash level orientation 6 degrees on blue 13 degrees up , down Bad news I have make a mistake somewhere on the tail gain or something , I when to the field today and I took off the heli when up and started to spin I gas able to keep it for a few seconds but started to gain speed as spin around I slowly putting down ..but as you know by the time touchdown the gravity took over and the heli tilts and crash broke the skid one blade got some damage and now don’t know what to do Sucks .. but that is just how it goes sometimes at least so far I got gaining experience building it and get my hand wet trying to program it Can you please help me Thanks for you videos
Oh man I am so sorry to hear about this. I am working on the final videos right now and should be done ASAP. Please hang in there or feel free to message me directly on FB or text and I can try to help. (801)654-2803
Hi Freddy, Im really stuck. I'm on Setup Step I (Servo Reverse) and I cannot get the Swash to mix properly. I have tried everything reversing my AIL Servo, switching wires the servos just wont come together and Im banging my head against a wall. Its a Trex 450 DFC and a DX9. Can we connect somehow and you could possibly help?
Send me a message on IM Facebook buddy maybe I can help. It should be a super easy part so it may just be something simple that is being over looked :)
Each menu will limit the servos for certain reasons based upon the programming need. I always say, do not focus on all the other things just make sure each menu is completed as needed and move on. Once you fly you will see any negative side effective and be able to make your adjustments as needed.
@@33forsaken All the signs were not a problem when i was flying, i was to much focussed on normal movements during setup. I thought it was supposed to go fast the swash, but only up and down collective.
I've got a 300x using a Dx6e. I followed you through the first video but when I reversed what was needed my servo pushing the swash plate in the front by the motor it doesn't move. Not sure why, servo works fine.
Have you went through all the menus and competed all four videos of the setup? Maybe even send a video so I can see what your refereeing to, that always helps.

I almost finished the first but like I said one servo wasn't moving the swash plate up/down with the other 2.i have since replaced it and all is fine. But now my radio on/off broke and fell into the housing.
@@33forsaken I managed to get everything moving correctly and the day I went to the field my Spektrum Dx6e that I've had only 6 months decided to break down . I was so mad. I had 2 Dx6 that only went in for service updates on 2 years. But this new one has a push button on off. You long press about 5 seconds to shut off only it wouldn't shut off. I pulled a battery. Then when I was ready to go from a jet to my Blade the power button Broke off and went inside the radio. With this virus'they say it's take 2-4 weeks for Horizon to even get it. So I figure August I'll get back in touch. Sorry but thanks for your help. Mick
Hey... Thanks anyway I know you're probably a busy person and don't get the chance to check these very often but I completed all your setup videos and got my 500 perfect! The only thing is my tail turns right when I throttle up.. forget all the other seemingly dumb questions, how can I fix this?!? I've tried lengthening my tail rudder link but it still does it... Any ideas?? This doesn't have to come from Freddie either, anyone that may read this can jump in!! Thanks in advance!
Hey buddy I am happy to help. So do you mean when the Heli spools up on the ground the tail kicks a little? How does it behave once its in the air and in your different RPM / flight modes?
Hi Freddy I watch your videos and I like the valuable info you give on various problems so now if I have to convert a raptor 30 heli fro Nitro to electric can you send me a video on how many things I need to convert it and also to assemble it for the moment I have converted a hirobo shuttle heli from Nitro to electric by using a 36 b fly fly brushless motor and a 80 amp esc it is flying ok but not satisfied slight tail wag I want to know how if I need a governer also
Dang buddy that is honestly a really tall order to fill lol and it would take a long time for me to be able to provide that kind of content. However if you want to shoot me a message on FB messenger maybe I can try to give some recommendations?
Hey Freddie.... I hear you live in NC. I'm in Mooresville and would be more than willing to bring my Trex 500 to you to help setup my heli!! I just put an ar7200 on it but am having a lot of trouble getting it to work.... Please let me know if you'd be willing to help me. Thanks in advance!! Greg B
Hey brother, I am not sure where you heard that I live in NC haha. I did however recently move to AR, maybe that is where the idea came from. What issues are you having with the AR7200?
@@33forsaken I'm waiting on a pitch gauge to arrive but I can visually see that I have way more neg pitch than pos pitch. Do I need to mechanically adjust the servo links or do I do that thru the setup on the ar7200? Also, when I fist installed it my servos were not all moving together so I reversed the ones that I needed to so they moved in unison but I did it thru my dx6e, should I leave the factory settings on my tx and just change them thru the RX or how should I do that?
@@33forsaken also, someone told me I didn't need to run the sat that the ar7200bx is strong enough that I wouldn't even need it. I'm sure its better to have it in than not right? I meant to thank you too for relying so quickly... I'm sure you get a ton of emails or msgs so I really appreciate you taking the time to help!!
