3GX V3 & DX6i, still need a receiver?

[bulldog5046]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the FBL world and i don't even have my hands on it yet but i have a 550 coming with the 3GX fitted.

Searching the net i've discovered i can't use the 3GX with sat's and a DX6i bcause gyro gain is on channel 7. The problem is the information is outdated and i think relates to the older software versions.

So, with V3 can i use sats or do i still need to use a receiver with S.Bus?

V3 is same as V2 as in it uses channel 7 for gyro gain, so I think it's the 6 channel DX6i that's the issue not the firmware version. I'm using a DX8 and can use with Rx & sat or 2 x sats directly to the 3gx, never used S.Bus.

I beleve sbus is for futaba

A quote from Coolice

"As already posted unfortunately Align didn't give users the option to switch the mapped channels for satellite use on transmitters with 6 channels only, so the only way around it is to fit a seperate Spektrum receiver to the model."

from here http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/setup-...able-dx6i.html


So looks like you can just use a normal RX connected to the 3GX

Thanks guys.

I hadnt managed to find that thread before so thanks for the link.

S.Bus is available on the OrangeRx DSM2 receiver, it just saves having 6 leads running back and fourth. I found a youtube vid showing this setup working so it looks like it should be fine. collecting the heli tomorrow so will know soon enough
