Not sure how many of you are running the BD-3SX on your 7HVs. Planning on swapping out my Beastx over the weekend. I've installed one on my 550 with no issues, and it flew well out of the box just using the setup wizard. Any tweaks or settings inherent to the 7HV that have been found to make an improvement?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

A couple of subtle changes but it flies amazing. Good match for 7HV.

Seefest,

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Still learning the BD stuff. A few more things to play with (get myself in trouble) compared to the Beastx. Looks like a few have them on the 7HV with no issues. I'll report back as I get going. Thanks

I have an HC-3X mounted up on mine. Haven't flown it yet but will be starting with the 700 file above.

Jeff Barrett had his tuned by the Demon guy's at IRCHA last season, maybe he can share his file.

I have a BD3SX on mine. I'll throw the file up when I get home.

Here's my 7HV BD3SX file. Using an Ar8000 receiver and sat.

Please double check everything before using someone else's file to fly...

These settings have worked well on a few different 700 electrics

Remember, in Rigid it has "double gains".
Head gyro gain is the "master" gain then the individual gains for aileron and elevator.
You can run the master higher than the ailerons and elevators would be lower and vice-a-versa.
