Phoenix set up / spektrum DX7

[damiana9015]

Afternoon all!
Still as a newbie I'm after some advice reX7 setup on Phoenix. I have a sim setting on my Futaba TX which was set up when I started, but not on the new DX7. I was advised that I would need to set the TX to a fixed wing setting and when plugging into Phoenix the settings should automatically pick up/adjust. I have even tried changing the configuration settings for controller on software, but still the heli jumps/flips CRASHES!

Any advise would be much appreciated!

have you set up a new model on your rx??

Hi mate, No, I think I have been miss informed. The problem is that I have brought second hand heli's that have already been set up on TX. I'm just lazy I guess, but there are settings on the DX7 for t-rex 250 and 500. Can i user these or will I need a completely new model set up for Sim?

Cheers!

You need to set up a new model just for the sim, i dont have a dx7i but it should be easy enough. When you have set it up you dont need to touch any settings in the tx. Hope this helps.

all you need to do is pick a new memory that your not using and reset it, which will set it to normal swash and cetre all the trims, then if you wanna be flash change the memory name to pheonix to remind you which one to use andits just about done.

Thanks Dan, I'll give it another try!

Thanks Tony, I'm guessing that when I was told to select a fixed wing setting on the TX this was incorrect?
Thanks!

I use heli and 90 degree swash and it works fine.

Its when you try and fly with real heli settings and CCPM mixing that the sim heli crashes instantly

I'll give it a go!

I have just set my DX7 up for use with Phoenix, I used a helicopter profile and then set the swash plate setting to single servo as advised by the Phoenix software.

It all seems to work very well and only took a few minutes.
The longest part was remembering how to check settings and name profile, I had to resort to reading the manual in the end!

Hope you get it sorted ok.
