Hey guys first post here and sorry it's such a noobish one but I'm hoping you can lend some clarity to my questions, there seems to be a lot of misinformation out there...

I recently purchased a DX6i to use with my Blade mSR and mCX2. Primarily because I got tired of re-trimming the helicopters as I juggled them back and forth on the MLP4DSM that came with my mCX2.

The problem I'm running into is twofold. First and foremost when I bind the helis to the transmitter in the manner suggested by Blade (airplane mode) the flight characteristcs are downright lame, very sluggish...it feels like the MLP4DSM on it's half rate mode where all the control throws (excepting throttle) are cut in half. In talking to Blade the support rep seemed surprised and implied that binding an mSR or mCX2 to a blank airplane model entry should result in performance equivalent to the MLP4DSM, however that's not the case for me.

So I turned to the internet and I find a host of settings suggested however I'm not sure those are really right either because some for instance play with the gyro gain which I've confirmed with Blade does nothing on these helicopters, the support guy said any adjustment you make to that parameter is ignored and any benefits you see are a figment of your imagination.

All I really want to start is settings for the DX6i which cause the control throws to output the values equivalent to that of the MLP4DSM, why they don't publish this I have no idea. The rep suggested getting a DXM receiver, a servo, a stick and a protractor and simply go thru all the channels with the MLP4DSM and measure the throw angle with the protractor then go back and adjust the DX6i until you get the same throws observed when using the MLP4DSM, I'd do it but Idon't have a separate DXM receiver to do that experiement with.

Can anyone shed some light on this topic? I know nothing is wrong with the radio, it works just fine and the output screen shows 100% throw at 100%mechanical throw on the sticks. Clearly it seems to be a case of needing to know the equivalent control ranges which for whatever reason aren't published.

Thanks in Advance,

James
