Close but no cigar

Post by DOG »

Well I'm getting closer to finishing up the X3
P7030001.JPG
. AR7300BX is installed on the side of the bird "Only place to put it" and the Hobbywing 50a V3 ESC is mounted in the front of the bird. Haven't had a TX to test her out yet but the new TX "DX6" should be here Saturday. Great ........ the weekend is a washout here :cry: There always next week! ;)

Nice. Haven't seen an X3 in the flesh, but a couple people I know run X5 nitros and love em.

I would do the damn thang but I have a problem with swash type. The AR7300BX manual has it at 3 servos at 90. The Ail. is on the left, the Pit. is on right and the Ele is in the middle. The DX6 "Arrive today" has it at the servos at 90. but the Pit. is on the left and the Ail. on the right and Ele is in the middle. Now which way do I go with the Ail./Pit. servo? Do I set it up Left/right or right left? Does it even make a difference. :?

Swash servo menu... It was menu "I" in the 7200BX.. U can select the one that moves correctly then move to the next menu to save that one... What bird do u have a 90 degree swash... It's not 120?

Put it on normal. Servo layout should not matter. I have my set on normal and adjust the rest in the kbar.

I must have mis-read.. Yes, transmitter should be on normal.. This allows the FBL unit control of swash function..
