RE: Binding DX6i with AR6000

Both of my planes with AR6000's are bound to my DX6i, but each time I want to fly them, it's a fight to get them to talk to each other. It used to take up to a minute and involved turning off the...

RE: Program DX6i T-28 Trojan with FLAPS

Works GREAT!! The best settings are GEAR to FLAP mix (MIX menu) at 70% for takeoff, and LAND flaps position (FLAPS menus) at 25%. Apparently, the percentage values are addative. For eaxample, 50%...

RE: Assembly Question: FMS Sky Trainer

My LHS doesn't carry clevises that small either.. I had to go to the 2-56 size for my flap mod.. Before you start going all solder happy, maybe buy a pack of the 2-56 sized clevises...

RE: Assembly Question: FMS Sky Trainer

Couple of possibilities:
1. The spacer that goes on first, make sure the beveled side is facing outward.
2. Take the spacer off and try it. I now run an 11 X 5.5 prop thats not a "slow flier"...

RE: I'm done with Nitroplanes, never again!

Just a thought, but have you range checked your transmitter? I had a very similar flight and it turned out my DX6 amplifier was bad. Worked perfectly but only had a range of about 75 feet. Make sure...

RE: Assembly Question: FMS Sky Trainer

blvdbuzzard..

You are correct.. After some bench testing I found that loss of signal doesn't cause an AR6000 reboot.. So I must have had a powerloss or brownout.. Good news for my 2.4 ghz flying...

RE: 4 Channel FMS Skyline 182 - 55

Although this is my first 4 ch plane, I still think it's a great deal. With about $5 in parts from your LHS and about an hour of your time, this plane is un-beatable. It really does fly...

RE: Assembly Question: FMS Sky Trainer

Your aircraft looks good. I did do some bending to the main gear while I was trying to get it to stay in place prior to putting in the plexiglss plate. That may be the difference.
