Default RE: DX7 settings for CPP2 questions.

ORIGINAL: whoami1


I did these settings because the CPP2 manual said the pitch should be -2 at 50% throttle and about 10 at full throttle. I used a pitch guage to be sure. I am uncertain I got the -2 but at least got it down close. Elevator and Aileron are subjective and could probably be smaller if it is too squirrelly or larger if you are used to this heli.



THRO CURVE - I thought that linear would be ok on this but turns out I need more throttle by the time lift starts. You can leave it linear and fiddle later but here's what I've got (though I'm still playing). CPP2 manual was my reference
Point-L = 0
POint-1 = 34
Point-2 = 70 (this is the half-stick point)
Point-3 = 86
Point-H = 100%
EXP=OFF

PITCH CURVE - again, the CPP2 manual gives its own diagram so I used it to start.
Point-L = 0
Point-1 = 0
Point-2 = 2 (Lift just starts at 50%)
Point-3 = INH
Point-H = 100
EXP = OFF

I'm not sure I like this setting but am working on it. This way I just start getting lift at 70% throttle

I have been flying my CPP2 with the DX7se and was curious about the major difference in collective. I am guessing the factory TX for the CPP2 has some major adjustments programmed to fly this thing.

A couple notes on your setup.

Pitch should always be zero at 50% throttle and should have the same range up and down. If it is set up differently, inverted flying will be off.

Throttle should be linear in NORM. STUNT 1 and 2 can be whatever you like. Probably 100-90-80-90-100 and 100-100-100-100-100

Your pitch curve should be somewhat light on negative pitch in NORM and linear in STUNT 1 and 2. The pitch curve should always be 50% at mid stick. This is again for inverted flying.

I have two CPP2s and I will be working on getting the settings on the DX7se spot on for the factory TX.
