Tx question

[Streetluge Chris]

When you plug you tx in where do the settings come from are they default for say the raptor 30 or do they use any settings in the tx.
I wont to lean if I change the settings in the Tx what effect this has on the heli

Almost every heli you fly with a TX will have different settings which are programed into the TX. Unless you are buying 2nd hand and its already been setup, then you will need to program it to correspond with the helicopter(s)

Its pretty daunting at first, but you will soon get the hang of things and how the settings interact with the heli. If you are totally new to the hobby, and looking at gettings something like a Raptor, then the only advice is to get a simulator (Phoenix) and join your local RC club.

Erm, Aidi, I think he's talking about the sim.
If so as I think you are then yes, it has default settings, which TX is it? Does it have programmable settings such as the DX6i or some Futaba models? Or is it just a straight 4 or 6 channel?

If it's programmable then usually you can set them up for different models, in which case set a new model up just for Phoenix, and make sure the swash is set to 1Servo @ 90 degrees. Otherwise the heli on the sim will do strange things (don't ask how I found that out LOL).

It will need calibrating, which comes in 2 flavours, simple where you just move both sticks in circles (this works for me) or more complex which is good for CCPM tx's, where you can't program the mixing out any other way.

It all depends which way your leaning

ok being serious, it sounds to me if it would be better for you to go to a LHS or find someone to go through the menus and explain whats what.
there are to many variables to type it all out and you did not mention which TX you have.

[Streetluge Chris]

The tx that I have is JR2610 which you can change settings.
So if you have a bad set up the the tx this will transfer to what ever heli Iam flying in the sim?
Yes i do have Phoenix.
I want to us the sim as a training tool for setting up the TX .

As will the heli in real life if you forget to switch it back before flying...

wholeheartedly And I won't ask how you found that out....
