Using DX6i with Phoenix ??

[SamS]

I am going to buy Phoenix V3 in a week or so, and i have a DX6i that i will be using on it.

Do i need to set up/program models on the tx its self, or is all heli/plane setting up trims etc done on Phoenix itself ??

Does the tx need to be switched on to use on Phoenix ??

Basically, can someone explain step by step how you set up a dx6i and phoenix


Thanks very much

the dx6i has battery safe feature with phoenix, so as soon as u plug the jack from phoenix it's turn on, about setting u can do both, i used to have one model named SIM so i will not mix up when i use the tx for the "real" heli.

about trim you should be fine after the calibration, but u can still use trim that's when it comes handy set a model name SIM

As already said, dont turn on the TX. Just plug the Phoenix dongle into the DX6i and it will turn itself on.

Have a look here for a method of setting up a DX6i for Phoenix use

Just a point that I missed when setting up my DX6i, create a model mode for the SIM and make sure your normal throttle curve starts at 0 and that your stunt throttle curve is a "V" curve (I’m using 100,75,50,75,100). IMO you should learn to fly in stunt mode so that you don’t need to "relearn” muscle memory… best of luck

Bolders - do you know of any DX7s guides? I tried the other night and the menu system on the DX7s is somewhat different.
