HiAll,

Im a newbie into the RC world. During the last months Ive been mastring a couple of coaxial ones and then a micro single rotor heli. However, I want to fly outside and do some more open field flying. After many many readings, I ve come up with the decision of buying the T-rex 600ESP super combo. My plan is to follow the so called "grow with it" path. I know this is an expensive heli, but its size and weight should provide perfect stability and visibilityfor a training process as Ive seen mentioned many times on the web.

The first thing I did was to get Phoenix simulator, and the Aurora 9 Tx. My plan is to put a lot of effort on the sim till I get confident enough to go and fly the 600 ESP. While doing that, Ive noticed (as expected) that the T-rex 600 channels are different than those of a 4 channel heli (such as the ones Ive flown already). Ive read this one requires 6 channels minimum.

One of the main differences Ive noticed in the sim is that the throttlechannel (channel 3) onlyrotates the rotor, but the lifting is provided by a separate channel (channel 1), whereas in my ex 4-channel helis the throttle channel controls both rotor and lifting. Is this right? or is there a problem with the sim?

and another question: what would the additional channels (5 and 6) be doing and how?

I know thisare very basic questions but Im very puzzled by it and dont know anyone nearby to ask

Thanks a lot

Rod
