Finally got a new MSR and very much like it, but would love to have a little more control over it (specifically change the servo rates for the roll control).  As of now I am using the MSR with the stock controller in a 21' x 16" room and find myself using the training mode more often then not.  I want to take it outside or into a huge indoor space I have access to at work, but just find the stock transmitter a little difficult to control it with.  I only have the MSR and MCX, would the DX6i be a wise investment or are there others as or more worthy of a look in the same (or lower) price range?

Thanks!

Thank you for all the input.  I've got a DX6i on order. 

Just click here to get to the post with the PDF.  It was posted by RC Universe member CocoSantago.   I would also suggest setting up your Mix 2 as follows: Mix 2 :
ELEV-> AILE ACT
RATE L - 20% R - 25%
SW ON TRIM INH.

I got that from another post on this site....I don't remember the posters name, but I unfortunately can't take credit for it.  That mix will make the MSR fly as straight as an arrow with no roll input.  As I'm learning, there is some variation from one MSR to another, so you might have to tweak the numbers a digit or two, but it will get you pretty close.  To me, that mix 2 adjustment made the MSR more capable of precise indoor flying than any other single setting adjustment. 

Good luck and let me know how it goes.  I'm still busy changing settings - this site has a wealth of knowledge shared over it.  I'm just trying out what other's have posted and then mixing and matching to suit my taste as I understand what everything does.  You will notice quite a difference.

I would have thought dulling out the sensitivity around stick center would have been a perk too, but depending on which axis is in question, that's not always the case.  When it comes to your roll axis, if the stick requires too much travel to get a reasonable response, you'll find yourself bouncing off the walls with some frequency.  When it comes to yaw though, I found the opposite held true, although after reading a bunch of posts, I might be alone in that thought.  I wanted the throttle to have a much steeper curve at least initially, and then taper off between the last two programmable positions.  The idea here is to get the copter off the ground rapidly without a lot of stick movement, but then not have it too sensitive at higher power settings.  After all that was done, the big issue became getting the MSR to track straight in level flight, that's where the above mix comes in so handy.  In summary - the higher sensitivity settings just give you more exact control when flying in a confined area.  I just didn't like to yaw too senstive.
