Default Setup for Spectrum DX6 and Blade CP Pro

I switched over to the Specktrum DX6 Radio gear and after a lot of reading and setup I figured I'd pass this info along for the others who may be doing this transition.

When you do the swap and first get it all installed use the sub trims to get your servos centered (horizontal) then adjust the linkages to get your swash plate level.


Here are the settings I used: (I may occasionally edit this as I find better settings)

It took a lot of reading to find out how the settings on the CCPM work.

Each one of the settings works to adjust the travel for that function ONLY.


I have Aileron set to 80% and Elevator set to 80% this makes for a calmer flying heli.
If desired you can turn these up for a more responsive heli or less for a tamer one 80 seemed good for me.
You also can turn up one or the other ie Aileron 85% and Elevator 95%


Again they are totally independent controls (It took me a lot of time to find this out).


Pitch at 35 controls the pitch if you want less than +/- 12 degrees you would adjust this setting.


Have Fun
