You don't use Heli cyclic channel mixing with the microbeast. The flybarless controller does the channel mixing.
You just need a basic four channel set up, but with gain control for the tail rotor. I changed my Beastx for the iKon. Same basic set up though...

I just set up a microbeast and an X6R, thru the s-bus, and it worked perfect the first time. I have no idea why yours won't. I'll try it with my X8R later. I was very impressed by how easy the s-bus was. I have never used s-bus before, and now I'm converting all of my models.

I don't need it. I just didn't know why mine won't work.

Thanks...

I'm probably asking something that's been covered, but I'm stumped. My brand new Taranis Plus, with Open TX 2.0.17 will not allow helicopter setup with the wizard. The radio won't allow it, and Companion wont allow it. I did NOT check the "nohelis" check box before downloading. Any help? M...

It is basically the same, but the iKon has 'bank switching'. Apparently, after programming the three different banks, you switch from one bank to another with the 3 position switch. I'll also need throttle cut, throttle curves, and pitch curves. I'm trying to get it set up so that ID0 = bank one (iK...

Late 2012, I asked for, and received help on this forum getting my T-Rex 500 DFC set-up with the ER9X radio system and the Micro-beast gyro. Everything went great with that project, and my Micro-beast is now on my T-Rex 250 with my ER9X (working great). Now, I'm trying to install the iKon FBL Gyro o...

I just got my 500 converted to fbl, and now I noticed my tail servo (Align DS520) would stop moving. It won't respond to inputs from the TX or the gyro (Beastx). No noise, no humming. When I touch it (Very lightly) it frees up, and will work for another 5 to 15 cycles, and it freezes up again. It do...

How important is it to keep my firmware up-dated? I'm running r766 right now. How frequently should re-flash it?


Thanks!

So, what is the latest (best) eepe file to use with my Hobby Mate FBL? I'm ready for my maiden flight, and I'm going to re-check everything from scratch. Including the gyro set-up. I've done a couple of low speed ground tests, and I think I'm just about there. I want to make sure. Thanks. - Trex 500...

With much help from "gohsthb" and many others here, I'm in the late stages of converting my EXI 500 (mostly Align trex 500) to fbl. I've installed the Hobby Mate FBL head (DFC clone), and the Hobby Mate 3 axis gyro (Micro Beast clone). I'm finishing up the programming, and I'll be ready to...

I got my flybarless gear today, (ordered on Fri. received on Mon.) and looked at "gauix5.eepe". Don't I still need to use my 8 channel "flysky" rx? And isn't the throttle (esc) on channel 3?

Thanks!

Why do you want to convert to flybarless? I needed repair parts for the original rotor head, and I think that flybarless is the way to go. I'm going with the gyro you pointed out. Looks like the "Micro-Beast". Also ordered the DFC head. I've been flying a 4 channel flybarless fp heli all ...

I'm pretty new, but I learn fast. I built a Trex 500 clone with the ER9X system (which I think is great). I've only been in RC Heli's for about 7 months. What do I need to know to convert to flybarless. Money is an issue, but I will do whatever is best. I'm sure this has been discussed here before. ...
