Hope Nightflyr will chime in, he is the innovator here.

RX -> CPII -> 3G -> Servos is generally how it suppose to go. The recommendation for sure will be to get the heli and 3G dialled in before even thinking CPII.

As pril stated..

You need to get your machine flying well with the 3G alone before you attempt installing the CPII.

This is a step by step process, follow the path and you'll have a nice flying helicopter, try to take short cuts and most likely it will crash before you realize it.

One item of note, you might want to consider a high output BEC. you will be drawing higher power with the FBL.

Default CP II and Microbeast
Are there any posts that describe how to connect the co-pilot II and a microbeast.
Thanks

the basics remain the same....

Rx>>>>CPII>>>>BeastX>>>>>Servos

One note of EXTREME caution
You need to ensure the path of each servo follows through start to finish, the way the BeastX instructions call out.

I use setup for 3G device from this thread.
https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=292734
With a little adjustment the heli works fine.

Engaged the CPII, had to adjust the gain down to about 40 - 50.

Now, the interaction between 3G, CPII and me work perfectly.
