Trex 600 with DX8 Set up HELP wanted

[palmers2000]

Can anyone help? I have a Trex 600 with a 3G flybarless system fitted, I bought it 2nd hand and it has been flown. Can anyone help with the set up of my DX8. I have only had bind n fly heli's in the past and I have no idea how to set up from scratch.

You tube is a good starting point to find out how to setup basic parameters in your dx8 mate. I found the 3gx a breeze to setup though I'm not fully upto date. I haven't tried the 3G, Ian.

Hi markb75.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

basics, CCPM setup, dual rates, exponential ...
the DX8 ones

then get the Align Trex 600 manual off the Align website and use the configuration pages at the back to get your setup accordingly ...

Hey.

With the 3G setup, before you enter DIR mode, reset or use a blank modle memory in your DX8 then activate 3 servo 120 degree eCCPM.
You need to complete DIR mode before adding settings into the transmitter such as dual rates and exponential, these can be added once the 3G has been taught its limits, pitch ranges and gyro sense directions.

The manual, while sparse goes through the DIR setup stages one one and is not terribly difficult to follow. Once done I have some settings posted for the 3G which fly very well.
Also, what firmware is the 3G running? I would suggest stick to V2.1, the latest is V3 but it ruins more than it fixes.

If you were closer I'd offer my setup service, as i could run through it with you on a one to one basis, but Aldershot is a fair trek to Northamptonshire.

Just a thought, but what transmitter was the model flown on originally? If it's a DX8 you could ask for a copy of the settings, then just bind your own DX8 to the model.
