Hello, great video, can you tell me how to bond Futaba 6208SB with the align 3gx?, just plug and play or do I need to get a servo setter to set in wich channel will be each align servo?, runnig with 10C 2,4 Radio. Many thanks?

@Viejoperro1 thanks... just plug the cable on the futaba RX S.Bus port and to the Align 3GX Battery Out Port... after you connected the cable to the 3GX System Battery Out Port From the Futaba RX S.bus Port , instead of connecting the servo wire to the Futaba RX, connect it to Align 3GX servo ports.. hope it helps..

Hi hiki2502, I need your help because my trex550e is doing a lot of wagging with his tail and I do not have a clue how to solve this. Could you look at my video if you have any idea what the cause could be.

@carpedy67 check if your main blades are balance or not, check if there is unusual vibration on your torque tube by spinning the main blades by hand, check the gain of your gyro on your TX, check if there is a loose screws, check your 3gx system if it is settled firmly, did you use the gyro pad included in the 3gx FBL system?

Nice heli and maiden flight!

I've got the exact same configuration and maiden my heli yesterday. Experienced some heavy tail wags, my gyro gain was set to 70% lowering it to 60% didn't help. Will try your set up today.

Thanks for posting.

@hiki2502 Thanks man for the advise

The issue I had was to much gain in the TX. It was way to high so it overcompensates the movements. I reduced the gain check this with the 3GX program and the value is between the 30 and 34 and everything is okay now. Thanks for helping me out!
