Dx6i or Phoenix?? HELP!!!

[MrMajic]

I've had that since day one. I've tried 2 different Txs, a DX6 & a DX6i. Both do it occasionally. My DX6i has been back to HH as part of the recall, although it always looked fine to me. They found no faults. I've checked the monitor god knows how often. It'd dead smooth, even when I get a jump on the sim. I just live with it, doesn't really bother me.

Does the jump on the sim ever happen in "real life"?

[Brian Gifford]

Absolutely not. When the jump happens on the sim, it's enough to generate blade fart. Beleive me, I'd notice that when I was flying for real.

lol, "blade fart"

LOL.!! Nice Term

lol, "blade fart"

Surely you are familiar with this technical term?

[joe.lel]

Surely you are familiar with this technical term?

Lol, i take it that it is the noise when the blades are under stress? (Cant think of a better way of putting it)

I happen to like it, maybe its a bloke thing LOL.

Glad Im not on my own with the hopping helis lol. Somehow I knew phoenix would say its down to the TX. Either way my TX is good and if my 450 did this jump Id of dumped the DX6i along while ago.

Yes I did say dump it as I wouldnt sell on faulty equipment

I must admit i am suitably confused now!!!

I looked at the monitor menu on the DX6i as it said.

In the phoenix setting :-

When i move the throttle up (left stick) the THR moves to the right (good) and the AUX moves to the left??

RUD = as you would expect (right and left)
ELE = as you would expect (right and left)
AIL = as you would expect (right and left)

So, i thought i would check the monitor when the Blade 400 is the model and it is completely different!!!!!!!!!

When i increase the THR , AIL and ELE also move to the right!!!!

When i move AIL , AUX moves aswell.

Damn im so confused!!! :S:S:S:S

Why are the settings so different??

[MrMajic]

Surely you are familiar with this technical term?

Ha, no.

I was wondering of hte "glitch" is supposed to represent the battery failing, it seems to do it every 5 minutes or so?

Absolutely! It's not my term, tho, I picked it up on here.

That's about the same situation I'm in, Mark.

[Brian Gifford]

Ha, no.

Not as far as I know. I once put the timer on in the sim, and then couldn't understand why my heli started dropping out of the sky every 5 minutes.

[creamsodauk]

i have the same issues, dosent happen alot and when it does the heli shoots up a good foot. just put it down to typical computer nonsense

Update from Phoenix!!

Hi Joe

The Your Transmitter menu shows a slightly smoothed view of the inputs, so a very short and fast “blip” of the controls may not show up in this menu.

We think that this problem is only with the transmitter’s training port software, not with the main transmitter itself so this would not occur when flying your real life model.

We are currently investigating this problem further and hope to introduce some measures to vastly decrease this problem in the next update which will be available very soon. We may send you a pre-release version of this update to check that it has indeed solved this very rare problem.

Best Regards

Phoenix Support

Hopefully they may sort it

I have seen this fault on my DX6i, again only when using Phoenix - when I use my FF10 there is no problems. Again I believe it is a DX6i / Phoenix only problem and just put up with it. ( I have seen it on both throttle / pitch and rudder).
