Futaba 6EXP
 

Anyone setup a 6EXP in an Axe ?

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

No, but I did do a set-up on a DX7. And I know it works on Futaba 7c as well. Check the link below, hope it helps.

EXP or EXH? the EXH is what I'm using for my heli's... check into that...

at any rate, if you meant H, then I have the settings you need (close)(I think)

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

I have the EXP I got it all connected and have a couple problems at this point, my pitch is coming from the right stick, not the left and my 401 gyro isn't working right yet. I'll take those setting if you have them handy.

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

here's what I have, you can do the d/r and expo stuff right?

N-TH
1 0
2 25
3 50
4 75
5 100

N-PI
1 24
2 41
3 55
4 60
5 74

I-TH
1 100
2 75
3 68
4 75
5 100

I-PI
I think mine is junk, we'll have to work on that...

Hold - INH
REVO - INH
GYRO - INH
SWSH
A +65%
E -65%
P -25%
3-S

I actually had that same problem at one time, there's a thread on it here somewhere, I think it was the swash settings when it was all said and done...

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

It was the wrong swash setting, 3-S is the correct one.

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

there you go man, problem solved :)

it's great when you can help someone out...

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

Thanks for those settings, they are just about right for me, I changed the pitch curve a little, being able to change the settings really helps. I couldn't get my 401 Gyro to work so I left the 240 in it for now until I have time to mess with it some more. The 240 works fine, it has a little tail wag but that's easy to fix. I burned out the main motor this morning. It's time to put a brushless in this thing and see how that goes. A little more time on this little CP than I'll move up to a T-Rex 450. If anyone wants better control of these birds, replace the electronics in them, it really makes a big difference after you get everything dialed in. :D

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

what's with your 401 dude? I've got one on a t-rex that I've got programmed, I could give you those settings if you'd like..

don't you think that's a bit overkill for the heli? lol, the gyro costed almost as much as the bird...

let me know what brushless you put in it.. I may try a helimax from my MX for giggles...


if you are flying the cp now, you'll love the move to the t-rex, you'll be in heaven!! hit me when it's that time, I'll give you those settings also, not a lot of 6EX users out there... I've got both eCCPM and CCPM setups.

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

Yeah just a bit overkill for this one, I bought it knowing I would be transferring it over to a better bird when the time came. That time may be on Friday :D That is depending I can find a deal locally like I can find online. I haven't fully decided when I'm making the switch, just that I am making it for sure now. I got the Axe to make sure flying a heli is something I wanted to fly, and more importantly could fly. Cheap entry level so if I decided I didn't like it, it wasn't to bad of a lose. :D I do some local shopping and see what I can come up between now and Friday.

RE: Futaba 6EXP
 

right on man... if you need anything throw me a pm, I'll help you out however I can. You'll like the 450 size, it'll be a dream to fly compared to the beast of a cp... mine was...

I did it the same way, but got frustrated with the CP, I could never get it to fly, then once I got into the 450's, I went back and can fly the cp, it's just that I don't want to now :D I'll do something with it this winter, I think I can actually fly it in my living room.
