Can a Futaba T6X handle eCCPM

[e-villen]

I've been flying a FP Piccolo and want to move up to CP. I'm looking at a Hummingbird 3D Pro to get used to CP then thinking of splashing out on a T-Rex 450SE V2. My current transmitter is a Futaba T6X - the manual says that it handles 120 degree swashplate, but will it handle 120 degree eCCPM that the Hummingbird blurb says is essential?

dont bother with the hummingbird 3d you will be dissapointed,
go straight to the v2 se they are cheap to repair and fly MUCH nicer.

i set up two of those for a clubmate worst micro i ever worked on (imho)

if your radio says it supports 120 degree swash then it does!

Thanks for the reply.

So "eCCPM" is the same as 120 degree swashplate?

I was thinking of going straight to the trex, but though I would trash a £60 model instead of a £250, but it's very tempting..

yes 120 swash is = 120 degree eCCPM.

the trex is a much easier heli to setup/fly/repair, and you wont be "fiddling with it more than flyin it"

dont try to save money on cheap in this hobby, only end up buying twice.

buy once buy right.

something else to consider..... if the hobby turns out not for you..you will sell the the trex no problem at all.......im afraid your stuck with the humming bird..

Many thanks for your reply - I'll go and consult my bank account ....

I don't beleave the T6X does support 120° eCCPM, there was a post about the T6EXHP which does not support it.
I have a ripmax 50th edition T6X and I don't think it supports 120° eCCPM, the lowest Futaba TX to support it would be the 7C.

============EDIT==========
I just checked my T6X and yes it has swash 3 so it does support it but the newer T6EXHP does not.

[moyesboy]

not sure that is right nutz.
The other post was talking about 90 degree eccpm swash.
surely the 6exh supports 120 degree ccpm...but without actually seeing the manual.
I've seen that tx bundles in offers with 120 ccpm helis I'm sure!

Arhgggg,

Yep your Gorden, thanks for correcting me.
I have just spent 3 hours playing with a swash and Cyclock. I think I now know everything there can be about a swash, phasing and interactions.

Very educational the Cyclock is, I can see ways Align could improve there swash on the 600

hi i have a futaba T6X

but i dont have a manual for it my left and ritgth controler are round the ronge way so wen i try to flie ma hellie it goes ritght wen a want it to go left and left wen a go ritght how do i change this round thanks farrol

Have a t6ex it will handle ccpm just no subtrim (makes setting up more difficult)

on the small electric front a blade 400 could be a good bet. Better than my king v2 and comes with a decent basic radio similar in spec to the futaba and has subtrim.

for the tx manual do a google search and down load it
i have done this with jr, futaba, sanwa and hitec tx's ive been asked to set up
the futaba 6x (ff6) and the 6exh 2.4ghz does do 120 eccpm (swash type sr-3)

as for he left /right try reversing the aileron and then check the other functions, if this doen't work change the swash afr on the aileron from a +ve to -ve or -ve to +ve value depending on how it is at present

No subtrim on pitch makes setup a little harder, but my 450 flys ok. I now have a T7C which is much better.
