Dx7s and copterx black angel

[musomaniac]

Just bought a DX7S and would like some pointers for setting up the DX7S for the copterx , the dumber the better (meaning the heli not me !!) although some folk may beg to differ after i bought the dx7s , rather than the futaba 8 i was directed to buy

Anyways any help would be greatly apreciated , this is my first ever digital transmitter , and i'm not sure what all the settings are about , i will receive it around thursday i'm hoping .

Best to read the manual before it arrives, you can find it online easy enough, then start asking questions.

Have a read here: Setting up & flying your T-Rex
Have a look for finless' 450 setup on helifreak

ok thanks i will download the manual , and have a look at the link

the receiver in the black angel is a AR6115 , will i need a bind plug to bind it to the dx7s ? The bloke i bought it off never mentioned it , he just said it'll bind no problem to a spektrum transmitter

Yes, you will need one, with any luck you'll get one with the DX7s when it arrives.

[musomaniac]

just received the dx7s , but theres no bind plug with it , so will have to order one .

Nobody local to you with a spare?

Most Spektrum users end up with more of these things then they will ever need

Not hard to make either if you have the servo connector parts ...

nobody local that i know of , don't even know if there's any heli clubs close to where i am , will have to find out . Just got one for £2 free p+p, from the same place where i got the transmitter from .

Anyone know what is the most " true to the model " heli on phoenix ? The mcxp is horrendous to fly on phoenix , it even rolls over on its side as soon as it re-spawns , i just downloaded it , so maybe the file is corrupt or something . I find the bigger heli's like the 600's and 700's easier to control on phoenix .

i am completely bamboozled at the minute with this copterx black angel , is it standard ccpm , 120 degree swashplate

[musomaniac]

is there anywhere i can go -- website etc , where i can get some un derstanding on how to set my dx7s up with the copterx black angel , would it be the same settings as say the align 450 ??

You can't just copy settings from the Internet and expect it to work for your particular helicopter, different mechanical setup, geometry, make of servos, etc mean each helicopter needs to be setup individually. If you pm me with your email address I can send you a crib sheet that I wrote to describe the basic setup of a flybarred helicopter head, that may help you.
