Post your Beastx heli setup here
This thread is for folks to post their heli setups, so others can see what mechanicals are needed and what the settings, if any are.
Please post where you get the blue light in the 6 degree menu and what you did to get it and any other pertinent data. Maybe make this a sticky?

It is better to keep a common format in the next posts.

Quick translation (to myself):
110% ATV means => 150% ATV (setup as per book) + 73% D/R Pretty much as I have on mine. I go even to up 85% D/R (127.5% ATV). |

C'mon guys......let's get some more Beastx set-ups
I made an edit to my 450 Sport settings. Changed parameter D to low (red flashing) with a transmitter gain setting of 72%. I was experiencing a slight tail kick to the right during punch outs but increasing headinglock gain to low from very low solved that. Tail is rock solid now S

This is a great idea! I was also hoping to see some throttle & pitch curves.. Can anyone share this as well? I'm more interested in knowing what the best would be for normal mode.
I'm not really sure what to expect when it comes to switching into idle up from normal mode, but I'm trying to make sure that it goes as smoothly as possible... with little to no jump in headspeed. Is it ok to start spooling up in idle up, by using the throttle hold switch? I preffered this method of taking off with my SR, but I'm not sure if the 450 will behave the same way. Can someone elaborate on this so I know what to expect?

Well since I'm running a CC ICE 50 in governor mode on my 450 Sport, I pretty much run 0, 30, 30, 30, 30 for normal, flat 70 for idle 1 & flat 100 for idle 2.
However, on my 550 with a CC ICE 100 I'm running 0, 60, 80, 80, 80 in normal, flat 85 in idle 1 & flat 90 in idle 2 S

Thanks for posting your settings latte
I tried to experiment with the headlock gain on high but couldn't get the tail right. I ended up going with low and 72% in the transmitter. S

Hi gfdimopo. I would suggest setting up your 500 with the factory default settings. I've found that the Beastx usually works really well right outta the box with very little adjustments needed.
I would recommend setting your 500 up then reading this thread: https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=279967 Excellent tuning guide by nwmtech....thanks again S

I haven't messed with any of the default parameters, except for the control behavior. I will update this post if I find something to tweak.
