Newbie set-up question

[JWB]

Hi Guys

Just got Phoenix Sim and preparing to set-up. I want to use it for both Heli and Fixed Wing do I need a separate model memory for each on my DX7?

no mate just set up one memory as "sim" the rest is done by the software!

Hi Boggy, can you elaborate? I have a DX7 so it has two basic modes, Aero and Heli. At the moment I have a sim setting in each one (via model memory) but I have to re-calibrate in Phoenix when I switch between them.

If I want just one SIM setting for both helis and planks which initial setting should I choose?

I only fly heli myself but have been taking my laptop and TX down to the clubhouse recently and the guys there like to fly fixed wing too.

I also use the DX7 and have just one channel 10 I use for the Phoenix.

Set it up as a single servo with no CCPM then calibrate within the Phoenix program, Then the only changes I made were maybe reversing a couple of servos within the program, Not your tranny.

Both the helicopters and planes "should be flying no problem on the same channel.

OK, got it calibrated using an initial heli setting (but with one servo) and the helis fly fine (including idle 1 and 2 and throttle hold) BUT when I choose fixed wing, the gear switch don't work.

Thanks

Thanks Guys for the info so far. It would be interesting to get a response to the last comment about gear switch not working when using plane.

OK, fixed that too by mapping it to channel 7 in Phoenix and using the AUX switch on the TX
