I don't use Phoenix in Acro mode.

Neither do I most of the time - apart from when I want to fly planks with gear and flaps

Yes but the setup is more complicated.

If you have it set up in Heli mode, then Channel 6 will work as part of the throttle, and channel 5 will not operate. Throttle hold will work (kind of).

Acro mode, channels 5 and 6 will work as in real life if you use the correct settings, and collective pitch/throttle hold will not work. (unless collective pitch is manually set on phoenix).

Ty for the flap information

If you go look at the link I posted above you will see that you can get full functionality of the DX6i in phoenix using heli mode - It will operate in exactly the same way as it does for your real heli but as already stated the configuration is a bit more complex than when using acro mode.

after reading all this, i had the throtle working but the heli would only go about 2 foot in the air then i had to push the right stick for the heli to go higher. now i have no throtle at all. very frustrating, maybe its just a little to techi for me.

Sounds to me like you have your channels incorrectly assigned.

Assuming you are flying mode 2 (Throttle on the left) You should ensure that both the Engine and Collective pitch in the "Simple controls" section are set to channel 1
And both Throttle and Collective pitch in the "Detailed controls" are also set to channel 1

Look like i have just got it sorted. Thanks for your time.
