FBL unit question

Post by DOG »

Hey all. I like to know is it safe to use a AR7200BX on a HK 500 just to set up. I'm using KST 515MG servos for the 500. Spektrum recommends 450 and smaller for AR7200BX. I already have an AR7200BK installed in my Gaui X3 which has KST 415MG servos and it's consider a large 450. That's the biggest servos I used with the 7200BX. I do have a AR7300BX that i WAS going to install in the 500 but I found out that the rudder connector in the AR isn't working right but in order for make sure I want to connect my AR7200BX to the KST 515MG servos. Can this be done with out burning anything up?

Thanks guy. I just didn't want the 515 servos to burn up the AR.

No chance. As long as the power source for the bx is good for the servos you're all good. And run the setup for the tail servo freq and center pulse before plugging the servo in.

Sold my AR7200BX to a guy that put it on a 700.
If you have seen Duncan Bossion fly his Gaui X7. He's a nutter, and he has ar7200 on his heli.
Not sure why they would say recommended for 450 or smaller.
Unless they are just trying to push the 7300 for bigger helis.
