Default RE: DX7 install/program for AXE CP... Please!

Hi Ace,

Ditto skywaterbanjo - a great improvement.


OK, here's my setup with the DX7/AR6100/3xDS285 and stock 3 in 1:

Keep in mind I'm a noob so the settings are to my flying capabilities thus far and... I'm not an expert at DX7 programming.


All locations are referenced to "tail-in" orientation:

AR6100 - Location/Equipment

AUX1 - Pitch Servo(Right rear swash)
ELEV - Elevator Servo (Front swash)
THRO - 3 wire connector from 3 in 1
RUDD - 1 wire connector from 3 in 1 (pin closest to antennas)
AILE - Aileron servo (Left rear swash)
GEAR - Empty
BATT - Empty (I use for binding as req.)

The front swash servo is installed with the output shaft pointing forward,
the rear swash servos are installed with the output shafts pointing rearward.

Swash type - 120 CCPM

AILE(2), ELEV(3) & RUDD(4) REVERSED

Sub-trim used as req. to set servo horns level, 90 deg., etc.

Swash links adjusted for middle of collective travel,
Flybar links adjusted for 0 deg. pitch at mid collective

Misc:
No Travel Adjust (all 100%),
No REVO Mix,
No dual rates (yet?),
Only one Flight Mode programmed (so far?)


Swash Mix - AILE +65, ELEV +65, PITCH +45 - EXP inhibited


Pitch curve (still tweaking to my likes) - 45, 50, 70 - EXP On
(This gives very little negative pitch with proper swash setup and helps prevent boom strikes due quick throttle cuts at low hovers that a beginner is likely to do. I have not had a strike since replacing my radio equipment!)

Throttle curve (still tweaking to my likes) - 0, 50, 75 - EXP On
(Both curve settings are slowly being altered to get me more comfortable with higher head speeds)

I'm not using all 5 curve points (yet) so the three given will better translate to the DX6i.


Throttle hold set to -10%


As far as the pulsing, you could reconnect the stock Rx/Tx to see if it is in the "heli" somewhere or the radio setup/equipment.

If I forgot or didn't mention something let me know.

Good Luck RWW
