Flybarless 700E Photos, Files and Setup Notes

Does anyone fly the Spektrum AR7200 w/BeastX? I am a new flyer and have recently purchased a 700E nitro conversion. The previous owner had a Vbar, but I purchased the bird without it and installed the 7200 with BeastX. I am curious if any of the seasoned flyers have any feedback on this system.

Just bought my 700E on egay must say got a great deal 900 bucks with two align canopys 3 sets of the real deal align cf baldes which cost a pretty penny as we all know..lol its the dfc version very nice and a ton of new spare parts also cam with all the battery packs as well yay my only concern after reading all these posts is the 3gx it came with... been reading a lot thats et up sucks and tail has issues cant get settings right I have a 600e with beastx on it but never flew 3gx should I switch? Just looking for anyone who has flew this gyro thanks

Every one switches. I was able to blow the tail out on my 600 with the 3GX. I could go up and say hey watch this and make it happen. It did not play nice with high speed backwards flight. No trouble with the beastx keeping the tail yet for me.

well i fly mikado vbar ,But i can say. went to the helifreak fun fly and talked with Alen & Danny Szabo
they talked to people on proper setup on 3gx. they had a couple people come to them and help with there setup. It was solid. i watched them go through the setup and For as cheep as they sell on HF there great FBL Units. Alen Flew one that he setup on some one els bird and he hammered it .

I recently set my old 3GX up on a junker 500 I had laying around. It flew just fine with no trouble. There was a slight forward drift but this could have been anything because it was a junker HK 500. I was laying the smack on it until it snapped the jesus bolt in the gear and crashed. Oh the fun of cheap helis.

Is it better to setup the BEC with it's on battery (7.4v LiFe) or connect it to the main battery pack which would eliminate having to use a seperate battery. Further, I have a Eflite 7.4v 1900mAh battery that I am using and it is connected to the BEC 6A with I believe a JXT plug (small red plug). The issue I am having is when I attempt to charge the battery and after it has been charging for at 30 - 40 minutes, I get a break connection error on my charger. The only way I know it is fully charged is to put a dwell meter on the battery. However, I was thinking about connecting it to the series setup batteries but didn't know if it would cut my flying time down. Also the leads coming from the battery for the current connection are sorta small and I didn't know if I would have any issues there either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
