DX6i problem

[163phil]

Can anyone tell me what is channel 5 on the DX6i, as I want to control gear operation from the tx, but have had to assign keypad 5 to it?

(Phoenix doesn't seem to recognise either flap or gear switch from my DX6i)

I've had this problem too... not too worried though as the helis don't have retracts!!!

Sounds like one for Boggy!!!

the gear channel is "inh"ibited by default go into the menu's and set the switch to "gear". i havent got my dx6 with me at the moment and cant remember exactly where it is but im sure you'll find it by scrolling through

Thanks Ron, I'll give that a try

update

Well, I've been through the tx set up an adjust functions, bot on the tx and in the manual, and can't find any way of programming the gear switch in heli mode. It looks like you can do it in plane mode, so next question:

Can you fly the helis in Phoenix with the tx in plane mode? (I've got it set up in heli mode at the moment)

yes you can phil but the option is there in heli also try flicking the switch down and go through the menu's. as i say im away from home at the mo' and haven't got my tx with me, sorry

Playing around here I came up with the following

Channel 5 is activated by the GYRO/FLAP switch on the DX6i, to use it as a GEAR switch youhave to inhibit its GYRO functionality:

ADJUST SETTINGS
GYRO
INH

Now it will control the GEAR on the Heli (at least it does on the Sea King)

Hope this helps
