FWIW that's not the same receiver. The one I'd recommend is the SPM4649T. The SPM4649T has dual antenna diversity and telemetry and does not require the beastX satellite adapter cable to connect. You cant go wrong with gens-Ace batteries, they aren't the cheapest but they are good value for money.

Hi Scot, Do you have a brand in mind? The true 600 class of heli is very quiet at the moment so there isnt a lot of choice available. The only 600 that I can think of that is readily available in the UK is the Mikado Logo 600SX V2. This is a nice heli though like most Logos has a plastic frame...

As rdsok said, just iron the covering down around the edges (using low heat) then on a slightly higher heat shrink the covering. Avoid going over the sealed down edges as that will soften the glue and allow the covering to pull in. Cover the bottom surface first then the top, this puts the...

Hi Steve, welcome to RC-Help and good luck with getting the 450 in the air. If you do have any questions on setup i'm sure you will get help here.

It's warmed up a fair bit here in the last week. Previously we were down well below freezing and windy which makes it feel much colder. I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed that the milder weather lasts to the weekend and the wind stays in check. I've not done much flying in the last couple of...

I believe that it's PTFE based.

Have you by any chance set the transmitter in helicopter mode with CCPM mixing? That's all I can guess, Open Tx firmware like used in the 9X can be baffling and very complex so you probably need an Open Tx guru to advise

Sounds like a vibration problem. If the main shaft was bent that I'm guessing it's been crashed in the past. If the crash was bad enough to bend the main shaft then almost certainly the feathering shaft is bent too . You might want to also check for damaged bearings. Make sure that the FBL is...

Nice! I'd have gone for the metal version too, I'm a sucker for a bit of alloy bling:D

As Tony said, the 'selling point' of the toque tube was that it was supposed to be more efficient and in theory give slightly longer flights. In practice I honestly dont think this is true, or if there is any difference it is s so small as to be insignificant. FWIW the official FAI world record...

The Spirit or Spirit Pro have 4 servo swash support

PS.. check that your aileron and pitch servo arms dont hit the metal frame stiffener at full positive collective + cyclic position. Mine did. To fix it I trimmed back the thread on the ball slightly so it didn't stick out of the arm plus I added carbon spacers under the servos to push them out...

Nice, colour coordinated braiding! On my 700X I just routed the wires internally as per the manual. This works fine though you do need to be careful to tie down the wires to prevent them rubbing the main shaft. Still gets a bit messy when the wires all get to the electronics mounting tray at...

Congratulations on the maiden flight Chris! You are more adventurous on a maiden than i am, I tend to pootle around like an old woman for the first couple of flights. PS.. an option with the satellite to get improved reception (if that's concerning you) is to use a diversity satellite. They are...

For any FBL heli the servos connect to the FBL, not to the receiver. If you use an 'old school' receiver on a FBL heli then to get the signal from the receiver to the FBL you have to run a wire for each channel between the receiver and the FBL, so you have several wires which gets messy. With...

Larkin, What's your previous RC experience? Like rdsok says, helis are tricky beasts until you get the knack. If you dont have any previous RC experience and no one to help you then it's likely to be quite a frustrating process involving lots of setbacks. Finding an experienced flying buddy is...

Chris, i can easy take a photo but really there is nothing much to see. The receiver only has one output 'Y lead. The male plug on the Y lead connects into the appropriate SRXL input port on the FBL, the female plug is just for the bind plug. The connection into the FBL will be different on...

Glad to help. I have one in a 500 size heli and it's been solid as a rock

It's on Spektrum's web site: Spektrum Quad Race Serial Receiver w/telemetry (SPM4649T): Spektrum - The Leader in Spread Spectrum Technology It will work with any flight controller that accepts SRXL input.

Yes, It's marketed as a receiver for racing quads, but it works just as well for helis. Because it's got dual antenna diversity it's equivalent in most respects to two standard sats all on it's own. I'm not sure if the Microbeast supports using a serial receiver AND a sat receiver? The Spirit...
