Hi,

I know where the throttle, rudder, elevator, and airleron controls are on my transmitter. Can someone tell me what airplane controls on an r/c transmitter correspond to the following FMS simulator terminology for helis? :

Throttle= Throttle (that ones easy)
Tail=?
Nick=?
Roll=?
Pitch=?

Im trying to setup my software to practice helis before going to the real thing.

Thanks,

Paul

what heli are you getting? a fixed pitch or CP?

Tail = Tail Rotor
Nick = Top Rotor Forward/Backwards
Roll = Top Rotor Left/Right
Pitch = Top Rotor Pitch (FMS uses full throttle on hellies)

This depends probably on the mode as well. I use left stick for nick & roll, right stick for tail & pitch.

Hello and Thanks,

I will be learning on a 60 sized CP heli in the garage. I bought it here atRCU.

Thanks,

Paul

K- i have this Futaba T6XH transmitter- and i am playing with FMS.. I just got the usb cord so i can use it- but it needs to work as a joystick setup i guess.. but thats fine.. heres the newb QUESTION,,, I have
Rudder= ch1
Elevator=ch2
Throttle=ch4 and that seems to control ch6 too- so i put
Pitch=ch6
now this works almost fine- except i cant swing the tail)... and also that set up is
leaving me with Aileron,Tail,Nick,Roll not spoken for -- now also for some reason the left stick on the trans)throttle stick) nothing happens when i move it left and right... Im prayin soemone can help me here- goin crazy with thtis. maybe give me the correct layout of what it should be - and if certain things should be on the same channel or something??

Thank you so much in advance..

Here's the setup I'm using with a old analog futaba- should be the same assignments as a 6X Try differnent inverts

i have all the controls set.. except for being able to roll back and forth with the left stick (side to side) .. everything else works.. i think i read somewhere that joystick config has limitations of channels or something... saw a bunch of how-to's online but for some reason they are able to get there usb connect as a com port in device manager- wich i am unable to do-- from there i think they use the pic-serial option in fms... i dont mind using the joystick mode now that i almost got it- but how do i get my left stick to work???

just to be clear......... my left stick works for throttle- but not side to side.

Left stick should move the tail boom (yaw), not rock side to side.

left stick wont work side to side at all

no ideas out there?
