1st time flying a big bird

[helicc16]

This my BeastX powered Trex 600 DFC. With tail gain set at 60% (DX8), I could not get the tail to wag. What tail gain values do you guys use on your big birds?

Just love the "farting" sounds.

I think I was at about 35-40 on the 600n with the 3GX. Heli looked great.

I run 55 on my 550X with 7200BX controller. I ran it as high at 70 in testing and didn't get a steady over-gain wag, but I did get the tail to become "darty" in a wind and it would sometimes "bounce" off the rudder release point and then snap back.

My tail gain is set to 38% 36% 34% on my DX8 All AR7200BX settings at default for tail. You may be able to fly at the higher gain in a hover. When you'll notice is in faster turns in wind. The way i test is to do funnels. This pushes the tail to the limits, but obviously not everyone can do funnels. A fast sliding turn will do the job too.

I run 82% on normal and 75%v on STUNT modes

works fine to me on my 3Gx ... states wagging at 86%

Thanks, guys.

Left pirouette is nice and crisp. But during right pirouette, the tail tend to bounce --like Pvolcko mentioned-- a little before settling to the final position. What do you think cause this?

Has anyone played with the Tail Dynamic pot on the BeastX (the bottom pot)?

 

[Lee]

You could try lowering it slightly to see if that stops the bounce back. But make sure you have the tail gain at the best you can set it first.
