Any one got settings for a 700?

Mustang Fever · 05-06-2012, 06:28 AM

I'm still kinda of a newb, so I don't know how useful these will be, but mine is real easy to fly with these:

Futaba 6EX radio. Turnigy Nano 4000 6S packs (2 per flight)
Collective Pitch
Normal: +8.3 degrees Idle Up: +8.3 deg;
Cyclic Pitch (All readings taken with the blade 90 degrees of rotation before the desired effect.)
Forward: +5.3 deg Aft: +4.8 deg
Left and Right: +5.0 deg and _5.8 deg
No expo on aileron or elevator, and 75% on the dual rates. Positive expo on the rudder, 40%, and 125% on the dual rates, to get it sensitive enough.
Headspeeds: 1503 in normal, and 1753 in idle up.
Pitch curves are:
Normal: 1_ 40% 2_42% 3_50% 4_60% 5_70%
Idle Up: 1_ 15% 2_26% 3_50% 4_60% 5_70%
My swash mixing settings are:
Aileron 1: +50%
Aileron 2: +50% (Futaba refers to this as "Pitch")
Elevator: +50%
Tail pushrod lengthened 1/4" (from having links sitting on the collars) to get positive pitch into the blades with the servo centered.
Balance about 5 degrees nose down when suspended by the flybar.

Thanks for the Information, but what I am looking for is just the settings for the ar7200bx.

there is no universal settings for beast x. it is on a heli by heli basis depending on the mechanical setup of you helicopter. it isnt like a v bar where u can share your settings.

mu300pilot · 05-06-2012, 09:03 AM

That may be true, but I bet if I ask this same question but only about the 3gx I would get plenty of input. So why will no one setup and share with me there AR7200bx settings?

The bx is pretty general in setup, just go through the steps. They tend to fly pretty good right out of the box. No need for a magic setup.

Why do you have a swash mix? It should be setup as one servo and swash mix set to inh. I'm curious about your setup.
Also you should end up with pretty equal throws each way. 8 degrees fore and aft. 8 degrees aileron left and right.
10-12 degrees positive and negative pitch. They should match if set up correctly.
If you want to change this you do it in the radio with your curve.
