Transmitter question

[Tom911]

Hey peeps I've just purchased a mcpx and set it all up on my transmitter flys fine but when I go to use phoenix after the heli will not lift of the ground, do I need to change the setting in the tx I'm abit lost.

many thanks

Are they both set up as seperate models on your transmitter? You need to set up phoenix as a model in its own right.

the mcpx or the phoenix heli? if its the mcpx that does not lift off then maybe try re binding, if it is the phoenix sim, test have all channels working correctly via the channel monitor or Tx calibration menu and go from there.

+1 on the 2 different model types however,

I would have thought that as they are both single servo swash types that it should work either way round with just things like pitch an throttle curves, DR & Exp settings etc. being different. check the channel monitor in phoenix though for sure, it will tell you if the channels are being seen and then you can work out if any channels need reversing or whatever.

Yes I have a mcpx heli that I set up so do I need to re set phoenix up as model 2?

[Rob99]

Yep. Hopefully that will sort out your problem. It will also allow you to keep your individual set up settings for each, otherwise you will need to keep changing them everty time you swap. Real pain!!

It may be that when you use Pheonix on the same model number as the MCPX, the MCPX looses the bind. Not sure as i use futaba for all models including phoenix apart from my MCPX which i run on spectrum as it is BNF.

Good luck. Rob
