Flybabrless bug bites Ying!
Well my Mars has been down for a while, between winter and changeover to Futaba.
Haven't made any repairs but I have been bit by the fbl bug! I think I'm going to make my beloved Ying fbl. Picked up a RJX head and a Beastx! My only concern is going to be the head height. If anyone has used a similar low head please let me know how it worked. Still deciding on servos and esc. I have 1 awesone (unidentified) motor, and prob. go with scorpion commander since I have. The programming is great but I also like the Castle for the logging. We'll see,

So for now it will be the Commander 60 esc. and going with Savox digital servos cyclic and DS520 on the tail. I also turned 1 of the cross braces in the back of frame so I had more surface to mount my rx and keep wires from tail servo. I'll get some pics up over weekend after I install servos.Looks good with head lowered, basically the blades now sit where the flybar was on low pitch.

OK here's the specs:
Mars 480"X" AKA Ying! Stretched Mars converted to FBL, Under the authority of a BeastX Head lowered 3mm RJX fbl head 360 Outrage blades 59mm kdb tail cyclic: Savox sh-0261mg rudder; Align ds-520 esc; CC ice lite 50a 2200 mah 3s lipo Motor; ?? Still a mystery, but it looks great, going to tach head speed this week w/12t pinion Futaba 8fg super Maiden was awesome! popped right into an awesome hover, and flew like a dream! True Ferrari of the 450 class heli's. 12.5 + - pitch and plenty of room to spare, Blue lights on Beast, couldn't ask for more! With a Gaui450 fbl head, can shave another 5mm off head height. Designing new canopy, see how it goes.

I am considering a 4s setup on it now or the Gazaur "8".
The RJX head works well although I can't level the swash locker. the arms are a little long. I do have full range with no binding so not too worried about it. Definitely love the lowered head , it looks great! Have had lots of compliments at the field. Flying great with the Beast! Now for a new canopy,working on a new paint scheme,gonna remain yellow, but something new.

I love the way it flies,conversion was simple, I even used the links from the swash/fb.
Beast set up no prob, I could max out 17deg+-.w/out binding so didn't worry about the swash lock not being level.13 works great. If you need any better close ups let me know, I'll email to you.
