im looking at converting one of my copterx 450's to fbl. if i try the copter x cx3x1000 do i have to buy the programmer or does it come with software for pc.. im going to use my dxi if its ok ... thanks glenn

soneebee · 12-11-2011, 06:29 PM

you can use the radio on setting up the gyro.. but its easier to setup using the progammer box.. and you can enter the advance setting with it.. so its better to have one

munkymush · 12-11-2011, 06:49 PM

i just ordered the gyro unit from ehirobo.but they dont have the programmer in stock.. do you know where else i can get one|?

soneebee · 12-13-2011, 02:35 AM

I am not sure of other suppliers that handle the COpter X brand. So far KY has direct contact with ehirobo.. all the new and latest helis and parts will go direct to ehirobo...

How much did you guys pay for the gyro and programming box... I know at one point when you bought them both at the same time, you could get them for $50...

It seems like that combo discount is gone now...

When I bought my first CX3X1000 there was a drop down box to add the prog box for an additional $19.99, this doesn't seem to be there any more - but it is still only $63 for the FBL unit plus box which is a bargain

munkymush · 12-15-2011, 10:51 AM

same here was approx 63 dollars ..

soneebee · 12-16-2011, 08:07 PM

the GYRO was sold with an optional box for only $19.95 before.. I guess it was really in demand and stocks were low fast...

so far this gyro is really great... stable when in basic and very aggressive for experts...

Here is a video I took flying my trex 450 with this gyro. I had a beastx before. It does fly quite well for a 30 dollar gyro. Only issues I have is with tail precomp as it seems to not be able to keep the tail and fast backwards flight when sometimes it lets go. Was flying perfect with the beastx so its not a mechanical issue. Had to drop the swash gain 6 points.

At 2:21 you can see the tail stepping out while pitch pumping.

Pani, you were flying much harder than I do and it looked real nice to me! I'm excited about my CX3 unit coming in!

iceman320 · 12-22-2011, 01:31 PM

What shipping method have you guys been using when ordering from ehirobo?

munkymush · 12-22-2011, 01:54 PM

i used the basic one -Air Parcel Rate (7 - 14 business days to major countries): US$6.2
my gyro and programmer arrived today which was 10 days to the uk... which is pretty good i think..

iceman320 · 12-22-2011, 07:04 PM

do you get a tracking number if you use the air parcel rate?

munkymush · 12-23-2011, 11:08 AM

yes you do... i think it kicks in when its in your country

Texas thanks! If you have any issues drop a pm. I'll be glad to help.

iceman320 · 12-23-2011, 09:44 PM

sweet guys i guess i will be taking the plunge and switching over my 600esp to fbl i modded my stock main rotor assembly this afternoon. so now all i need to wait for in the swash driver that i ordered from performance plus and then I can order my copter x fbl unit. i hope i like fbl. but will I have to learn to fly all over again if i go fbl?

munkymush · 12-24-2011, 08:38 AM

fitted the cx3x1000 to my 450 this morning and its quite sweet im only a beginner flying helis but straight from the box virtuallly. just put it on beginner settings and tweaked the roll + pitch gains to stop it dancing on the skids then it was fine. it seeems really good, only done 4 batteries but it seems to get quite a bit more flight time too over the flybar

Hello guys,

I am a beginner with FBL.

So i thought i buy the CX-3X1000 to fly FBL but i ordered the mini gyro CX-1X1000 with it, the programming box i hve to order next (budged).

I have a KDS K-7XII transmitter with a KDS K-8X reciever.
Does anybody know how to connect the parts together because i dont have a knob on the transmitter to direct for the gain.

And the problem with the CX-1X1000 gyro is that it has four cables on it one the tailservo one for the rudder and one for the gain and the last one is the cable for the pitch.
And how can i connect this gyro to the FBL unit CX-3X1000 because i can only put one cable in for the tailsteering.
Does anybody have a solution for me????????

Greetings and nice hollidays
