Now I wish I still had my AxeCP just so I can set up the DX6 to fly it. I bet that a stock AxeCP would be a dream to fly with a DX6 or Futaba 6EXH even using the stock 3-in-1 as opposed to a separate gyro!!!
In short, the cure for an Axe wound? A better radio.
Yes, the Axe flies sooo much smoother with a better radio.
I have a DX7, switched out the stock receiver with an AR6100 and kept the stock 3n1.
After the installation of the better radio equipment, I could hover side-in and nose-in with relative ease thanks to some Expo. Never was able to do that with the stock TX. Transition from Normal to Idle was smoother too using the Throttle and Pitch Curves. If you can, invest in a good computer radio. You won't regret it.
I think that I would still add a HH Gyro though. I was still fighting the tail more than I liked. [&o]
That's my biggest gripe about the Axe, tail control. And because of this, I am moving on to a belt tail heli. Don't get me wrong the Axe
is a good heli. It's even better with a good radio and a HH gyro. But for me, I would rather invest my money on a non-motorized tail machine.
BTW, my Axe is for sale with extras. Check my profile. Link is in Main Profile Page.
