Status: offline 		ok guys I just need the radio system. i have rthe brushless motor the ESC and a gyro also I have all the servos. I got in my stock 2 RX and 2 TX but dont know what to do I have a radio system from a walkera 22e 6 ch TX with a 3 in 1 RX . the 3 in 2 RX have 2 set of wires coming out from it for the tail motor and main motor I know I wont use those cables but the RX still have 6 conector for the 6 diferent channels. also i have the JR micro RX 6 channel and a futaba t6exap TX. any idea if I would be able to use any of those in my MX450xs. the ccpm is in the RX or TX ? can I use the walkera TX with the JR RX. any help please !!

Status: offline 		The MX450 requires a CCPM-capable transmitter. Unfortunately that rules out the 6EXA. The 6EX 2.4 has heli programming in it, but reading the manual for the EXA it looks like it's fixed-wing only.

I don't know the Walkera gear- it might work but the 450 is a fair bit bigger than the 22E. I don't think I'd try it, to be honest.

Status: offline 		the walkera tx is a highband have the normal/3d buton a pitch knob and head travel knobis a ccpm tx (I think bc is a ccpm heli walkera 22e) I got a separate JR gyro so I think the TX will work and for the RX the JR is 6 channel ! I need a heli RX or just any 6ch RX.

if you look the fotos the walkera RX have to set of wire (pinl/white) for motors. that would be 2 channels on rx the other 3 servos are connected directli to reciver so those 2 set of wire coming out to both motors are for tail motor gyro, and for main motor the esc. but in RX left 3 more servo connectors that says thrutle and rudder and batt/aux so i can leave the cables out and use normal cannectos with my own gyro and esc???? or use the jr with walkera TX??? c'mon man something have to work !

Status: offline 		Well, it might, but don't connect either of the red JST connectors to anything. You'd have to experiment with it a bit to find out where the pieces need to go- maybe use a cheap servo (one you don't mind damaging) to find out what channel is mixed to what function. It's going to be a bit of a process- if you aren't familiar with how the CCPM functions work, head over to helifreak and watch Finless' vids on CCPM setup to get an introduction to how they work. You may run into issues that need adjustments the Walkera transmitter doesn't have, and which require changing electronics around... I just wouldn't trust it, myself. As I said, it may be a complicated project, and it would be a lot more straightforward to wait a bit and get a computer radio with aircraft and heli functions.

Status: offline 		ok !! I think I will wait a little and buy a complete radio system maybe the futaba t6exah . or any JR ccpm system .. I am kind a hurry to mount the heli but I just need to wait .. in the manual of the walkera radio system says where goes each servo on rx thw walkera is a ccpm too .. i will take to heli to my LHS and if they told can be done with walkera radio I let them do the work ,, if not then I will wait to buy a new radio system !!!! thanks for all the info !

Status: offline 		Yes the walkera is a mechanical and eccpm radio, flip it over and note the eccpm /normal switch. The olny drawback to using it is it has fixed throttle curves set for the walkera helicopters, I think about 65% throttle at half and 100% at full. But the pitch gain and revoloution mixing are adjustable via the two knobs. To be honest I like the knobs, but I ditched the tx on my 36 for the fact that I now run a brushless and need throttle curve management. Other than that I like the way it felt and worked, just not adjustable enough if you start upgrading past it's potential. I would give it a try for fun, and yes the walkera gyro sucks when used with ni-cads or ni-mh batteries, but with a lipo the voltage stays pretty steady and the stock 006 gyro does work quite well, better than my ikurus micro profi I tried on it, as long as you run a Lipo battery.
Good luck and have fun.
