Nah Treff you only need the fly bar less controller, the beastx and others are 3 axis gyros so they look after aileron elevator and the tail.
Thanks for that Kev. I was tempted to buy a Spartan Quark the 2 assan ga250's both have developed faults but I want to go flybarless so will save money for beastX system ready for a new heli.
When I can hover tail, side and front I will be spending some cash on a new heli. No point until then because I just keep crashing LOL. Cheers

You say beastx I was tempted by that as well but as the AR7200BX, but after all said and done the 3gx that I have at the moment is rock solid, and man they are selling reasonably cheap at the moment as people are dissing them so much, Tony has his nearly as solid as his bx and is getting it this way on a clone platform, might be food for thought to look on bmfa for a cheap one and get a 35 quid dfc head and a dfc shaft and convert one of yours.

As stated, the beastX, 3GX, Ikon and all other 3 axis gyros have the tail gyro built in. 3 axis is X Y Z axis, or flip, roll, and yaw. Your Yaw is the rudder. So all that is needed is the one gyro.
As Kev stated, I have my 3GX just stupid stable right now, and yes, it's on an HK clone. All of my issues were in the head, not the gyro. I may get a DFC head kit and call it done with some Align 3G flybarless blades.
I have the AR7200BX as well on the nitro, and that thing is planted at factory stock settings. But, dollar for dollar (quid for quid lol), you can't beat teh 3GX if you take the time to set it up correctly. You just have to remember one thing, the 3GX HATES sitting on the ground running. Mine on the ground looks like it's having a seizure, but once in the air, it's almost hands off. If you have a slow spool up, and put it in the air while it's spooling up, it's as solid as a rock. Then, just hit throttle hold about 4" above the ground and let it drop to land. I'm havign great luck with this 3GX. Hoping to get some videos shot tonight on the new series.

I setup my tail servo so that it was 90º to the link. You will need to try different positions of the arm to get this setting. Once that was done, I installed the linkage and looked at the tail blades. They should have a little bit of right thrust to them (nose right). Once that is one, all you can do is take it out side and test it in HH mode. You can also set it up in rate mode. Adjust the linkage in Rate mode in the head speed that you are going to be flying in (usually 75%) and adjust the linkage until the helicopter holds steady at that speed. Once that is done, flip back into HH mode and it should be perfect. You just need to get it outside and fine tune it. I can only give pointers, every helicopter is going to be different.
The microbeast controller, controls almost everything in your heli. It can handle a single line receiver (sat only setup) it controls your tail servo and cyclic servo. The controller does all the mixing.
