I'm in the middle of setting up my Gaui X5 FES with a Spirit unit.

For the tail I'm using the Align DS650 tail servo.
Is there a recommended setting for rudder delay?

Thx!

Hi,

you can set Rudder Delay to 2-5 and increase Pirouette Consistency to around 175.
This should make it better.

Thx for the quick reply!

Finished setup and on the bench all looks good.
Now we wait for the new flying season.
Can't wait to test my X5 with the Spirit. :mrgreen:

Collective pitch ~12.3 degrees.
Cyclic pitch ~10.0 degrees.

One wiring question.

I'm using a (Spirit) Futaba S-Bus adapter as you can see.
My BEC has two servo connector outputs.
One is connected to the AUX port (ESC/BEC combined) and the other is connected to an empty slot on my receiver.

Is it possible for the S-Bus adapter to carry some current into the Spirit?
(Or do I need a Y cable and connect the second BEC connector directly into the Spirit.)

Very nice!
Your wiring is pretty clean.

Regarding S-Bus adapter it can carry the same current that normal cable is.
So it should work well - if it can pass the BEC Tester it will work.

Great the adapter can do "cable like" current. 8-)
And yes, BEC test is passed.

Really nice weather today. (9° celcius and almost no wind.)
So I put in the current latest FW v2.3.0 and went outside.

Because these are the first flights for this season, only a few figure 8's and some loopings.
All went well and no oscillations whatsoever.
Tested rescue a few times and it just works.

Very happy! :mrgreen:
