outtamyway and crash,
I'm starting to think the DX6 and DX7 menus are completely different. Everytime I read about settings for the DX6 and Blade and go to program my DX7.... there's always something that doesn't translate or make much sense...
I just got through hovering my BCP Pro with DX7!
the throttle is very touchy!!!! video coming soon....
here's a vid, of hovering my Blade CP with stock TX

and for anyone interested... I have detailed the steps and settings, I'm currently using for a Blade CP Pro with AR6100 and DX7...
Blade CP Pro with AR6100, and DX7
Step 1)
Connect the servo wires to receiver AR6100 as follows:
AUX1 - Right Rear Servo*
GEAR - <empty>
RUDD - Rudder
ELEV - Front Servo*
AILE - Left Rear Servo*
THRO - Throttle
*Left and Right Rear servos are based on the orientation of the helicopter placed in front of you with the nose pointing forward (away from you), and the tail facing back (towards you).
Step 2)
Create model in DX7:
While powering up DX7 hold down Scroll and Select buttons to enter “Model Select Mode”
Set initial settings for model in DX7…

[MODEL NAME]
enter a name for your model like BCP Pro
power down DX7.
Step 3)
Bind AR6100 to DX7
Plug bind plug into BATT connection on AR6100
Power up DX7 make sure correct model is selected, power back down DX7.
Remove motor connections from BCPP 3in1
Power up RX by plugging battery into JST connector
AR6100 should have a fast blinking amber light
Now power up DX7 while holding bind button on back of transmitter.
The AR6100 should go through it’s bind process,
Everything is ready when AR6100 is solid amber light and 3in1 is solid green light.
Powerdown AR6100 by unplugging battery
Turn off DX7.
Step 4)
REMOVE BIND PLUG FROM BATT CONNECTION ON AR6100!!!
Step 5)
Program DX7
Turn on the DX7 and enter programming mode for the current model by pressing SCROLL and SELECT buttons

*varies from model to model… use these to level your servo arms, a large number in either direction may best be leveled from servo link push rod.
Step 6)
Power up Heli and check for correct control of the servos,
see pages 16-18 in the manual.
“Position the helicopter to view it from the left or right side. Move the left-hand stick up and down to check the collective pitch control. When the stick is pushed up, the swashplate should lower, increasing the pitch of the main blades.
With the stick pulled back down, the swashplate should raise, decreasing the pitch of the main blades.
Again viewing the helicopter from the left or right side, move the right-hand stick forward and aft to check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the swashplate should also tilt forward. With the stick pulled back, the swashplate will tilt toward the rear.
While viewing the helicopter from the rear (tail boom toward you), move the right-hand stick left and right to check aileron roll control. When the stick is pushed to the left, the swashplate should also tilt left. With the stick pushed right, the swashplate will tilt to the right.”
Step 7)
Plug in main and rotor motors, power back up and FLY!
