You may want to put one of those red Gaui straps around the Beast bud!
Will stop any wobble with aggressive pitch changes. Looking good! G.

Current setup:
Scorpion "LE" 4020-910kv Jive 100LV BLS451's on cyclic BLS251 on tail Mikado vbar 5.1 Std FES head w/black dampers Edge 523's fbl KBDD tail blades I'm running +/- 14* of collective and 9* of cyclic at 2400 w/15t pinion. Performance is supurb! I am easily getting 5 minutes of consistent headspeed and power from 6s Hyperion VX 35c 4200's. Very efficient setup! Everything comes down mildly warm. (edit) As Vas reminded me, I am also using shorter balls on the swash for the swash to blade grip link rods. The point of this mod is to reduce to collective to swash ratio thereby improving cyclic resolution. __________________ vbar Logo 600, Scorp 4035-500, Jive 80HV, DS8717's/BLS251 vbar Gaui X5, Scorp 4020-910, Jive 100LV, BLS451's/BLS251 vbar CF Protos, Scorp 3026-880, ICE lite 75, MG9650's/BLS251 Last edited by terrabit; 09-28-2010 at 05:01 PM..

I miss my x5. Big mistake letting that thing go. It will most likely be my next build, budget permitting.

My settings
Well, mine is close to dialed in so here we go:
X5 FES 12.5* collective pitch 10.5* cyclic pitch 15T pinion stock 520 blades 93-83-93 TC (gives me around 2400 rpm) 0-100 PC -15% expo on swash -30% expo on tail (negative expo on my Futaba radio means softer.) Rudder endpoints reduced to 98% (Because BeastX indicated flashing LED at full rudder stick, see page 66 v3.0 manual) BeastX v3.0.8 (Blue at 6*, Step J) Parameter menu: A. - B. blue C. blue f. D. red E. red f. F. user def. (see att.) G. red H. purple Dial 1. 0 (stock) Dial 2. 0 (stock) Dial 3. 2 marks above stock Gyro Gain: LED i Hope this helps!

This guide always used revomix to setup the tail. However, today it's updated with new info, from BeastX team. Guess what, no more revomix suggested but a different way to tune the tail. Going to do the tail all over and see how it goes. (FYI, the current setting does work very well.)

Yes, I did some more flights with revomix turned off.
I upped Parameter D to very high. (Blue) At that point my tail starts to wag violently when in FFF. (Nose down and stick at full collective, OMG it's fast. ) Went back one step on Parameter D and set for high. (Blue flashing.) At this point it seems to work equally as well when using a bit revomix. Tail is solid. I have to do some more flights to find out if I keep the current setting.

So I opened up my upgraded x5 and I could not be happier. 8 batts without a hitch. Did not think I could grin any bigger but I did...
So I had an X5 with 610@8v for a year and I thought it was a great. Since my 9yr old picked up the hobby, obviously his first big heli would be an X5. So I gave him mine and set up my new beast... 8717 8900 w/ vr5203 reg 2s 1300 mah direct Vbar 5.2 w/ gov Stock motor, 16t Stock Esc Edge 523 X4 main head yoke 6x GenAce 4k 25c 2x Sky Lipo 4400 40c So I went from Vbar silver sensor 4.0 to Vbar blue sensor 5.2. From 610 to 8717. From 14t flat curve, to 16t gov. Much more crisp at center stick. Very solid. I feel alot more precision in my moves which gives me more confidence. The gov is amazing! No more over-revs and super consistent headspeed.

@ccnada: You must like living on the edge? I mean 610's@8V...
I see you use a 16T pinion, which headspeed do you run governed?
