DX9 Setup on Phoenix 4

[z0m8i3]

Hi Guys, Can anyone help me step by step setting up the DX9 with Phoenix 4?, I have seen guides for DX7 and DX8 but some of the menu's are different. I have created a new profile in the Tx called "Simulator", but thats pretty much where it ends...

Much appreciate any help.

This is taken from the DX6i setup:

In adjust menu, change the gyro to 10,90 with switch of gyro
Set throttle curve of hold +10

How would I do this on the DX9?

Suggested DX6i settings:

Throttle curves:

(Normal - 0,56.5,72.5,72.5,72.5)
(Stunt - 72.5,72.5,72.5,72.5,72.5) conservative
(Stunt - 100,100,100,100,100) aggressive (what I use)
(Hold - 10) (DX6i bug. This comes out as 0)

The DX9 only has 7 point throttle curve so how would I get these settings or equivalent?

More Questions:

* Whats Swashplate Type do I choose in the DX9 for Phoenix?:
* How do you setup the Gyro in the Tx to work in Phoenix?

I'll be keeping an eye on his thread as I need to set my dx9 up too tonight

Let me know if you find any good tutorials specific to dx9 setup with Phoenix, thanks PJ

Try 3 servo 90 for swash type

Using Single servo setup myself and it works perfect.

Linier line for normal mode then flat line for IU1 and IU2

Adjust parameters within Phoenix to suit your needs.

Hi Tim, So in the swashplate setup type on the DX9 linier line would be "Normal" selection?. What did you mean "flat line IU1 and IU2"?, Sorry I'm relatively new to all the terms & abbreviation

Throttle curves in your radio..

Normal mode = 0-25-50-75-100
Idle 1 80-80-80-80
Idle 2 100-100-100-100

I touched nothing else in the radio after calibrating in the program, just adjusted parameters within Phoenix to suit your needs.

For regular flight mode do a 0-100 linear thottle curve.
For Idle Up mode use a 100-90-85-80-85-90-100 throttle curve.
If you try to set up a pitch curve on your Tx it will confuse Phoenix and it may not work properly.
Swash type is Single 90 degree (I believe).
Throttle hold should not need any Tx set-up at all. Set it up within Phoenix as per the vid I linked.

You do not need to setup any Gyro Mode on the Tx.

I hope this helps!

Did mine last night with linear in normal and 100-95-90-95-100 IU1, pitch curve was linear. Only trouble I had was IU switch, kept on giving me full pitch and took off like a rocket lol, when I hit it. Had to go back into advanced and messed about with settings. All working now, just going to play with expo to get the right feel for the heli, as it feels like a sim and not how my heli's fly.
