Oh yes, be sure to take the batteries out when servicing it and also a good idea is to put a grounding strap on your wrist and fasten it to the neg battery terminal. Just in case you have a static discharge.

I did som testing on the Dual Rates to find out exactly what they do.
I have been trying to get a full understanding of the Dual Rates settings so with the heli down for parts, I did some testing on the D/R settings and here is what I learned, maybe you already knew this.

Setting percentages used are only for testing. Use what you want for flight.
Set the COMBI to use the aileron (or the one you would prefer) switch. With the Aileron switch set to 0. Set the D/R to 100% and EXPO 25%, then Flip the switch to 1 and set to 80% and 15% EXPO Press the roller for 3 seconds and release to save the settings. Go back to the D/R settings menu, and you will see that when you flip the aileron switch that each setting will appear, one set for each switch position. This is exactly what I wanted, because it allows the throw %, and the center adjust % to be used in combination.

For you that are new to the DX6i, the EXPO makes the center of stick area softer to responce. The left setting controlls the percentage of full throw on the servos.

Very nice Ron.....I have not delved into that area just because I was using the ain't broke don't fix it mentality....Now that someone else has done my homework and I have a resource for tech support. I will prolly go here soon....I bet most of us have not even scratched the surface on the potential we have with our Spektrum radio's.

Peace and thanks,

Z

I have a question for DX6i. How to set up the Gear switch in Heli mode. I didn't see the Gear in travel adj screen. I want to setup the gear switch to turn on and off for landing light.

Thanks

It is very easy. You go to Gyro in the Main menu, and set the Gyro settings to INH. That disables the Gyro function you then use the Flap switch to activate the servo that you will plug into the Gear location on the RX. Do not forget that the Gaer switch in Heli mode becomes your Normal and Stunt Mode switch. That is why you use the Flap Switch.
If you have a Rate Gyro there is no differance in the Gyro operation. If you have a HH Gyro you will no longer be able to TX select between HH and Rate. You will have to manually adjust the HH Gyro to your desired settings.
This info is from Tech Suppoer at Horizon Hobby, and I tested it, It dose work.
