Completely messed up my Phoenix settings

[ShinySideUp]

I have been trying to get my Phoenix with DX6i transmitter to function in 3D flying mode so I can do inverted etc. I have calibrated the transmitter and changed the settings on the transmitter to heli, changed the throttle and pitch curves and various other things and have completely messed it all up. I shall delete the 'sim' model on the txmitter and do it again, but I am having trouble decided on where, the sim or the transmitter, I should be changing things.

As it stands now, throttle control is non-existent, it spins up and takes off and that's that.

Is there a numpty's guide to Phoenix that includes basic setup and 3D flying. I've searched but suspect I'm not going back far enough in time.

I don't profess to being an expert but here goes (please correct me if I am wrong).

On your TX setup as an aeroplane.
On your TX use flight mode (FM) to give you access to the different flight modes (inc 3D).
On FM1 (Norm) you can leave it as is.
On FM2 (Stunt) you need to set throttle curve to 80, 80, 80, 80, 80

When you switch to FM2 you heli will spin up even on low throttle. In this mode you can use low throttle when inverted.

There are a couple of ways to setup the DX6i

This method posted by tiddler uses acro mode to get 6 channel functionality. It the easiest option to setup but your throttle hold switch will not be the same as when you are flying your real helis.

There is also this method which uses heli mode. This method is a bit more complicated but it does allow you to configure throttle hold to be on the same switch in phoenix as it is on your real heli.
