Phoenix and ESKY 0406A 6 Channel TX

[dreams3577]

Hi All

Anyone else having problems with setting up the ESKY 0406A 6 Channel TX with Phoenix??

I have gone through the demixing process and still cannot get it to stop mixing...

can fly heli fairly well in real life, but cant fly for s**t on phoenix!!!

I got it so that i could try to learn some moves......

anyone got any ideas??

Did you ever fix this?

[mattydred]

it will be the ccpm setting in the esky tx. ther are 2 small switches underneith the batteries to switch it into normal 1 servo swash mode. not sure if you have to switch both of them.

i have heard that phoenix programme can de-ccpm the transmitter without messing with the 2 switches as above. not sure about this.

dont give up on with phoenix - get it sorted if you havnt already.

Solved! nice one... now to fix the idle up....

you can asign a key on the keyboard for idle up. you could use number 1 on the number pad. im not sure if you can use the switch on the esky tx

dont forget to download all the the lastest updates 1.05f i think, planes, helis and flying sites. if you dont you might not be able to get into multiplayer sessions.

Hi Inferno,

What solved the problem - the small switches as per mattydreds post, or the Esky Tx button in phoenix?

The Esky button didn't work for me and I still calibrate manually but the helis are a bit twitchy. I emailed Phoenix about using the Esky button in the calibration window, their reply is below.

Thanks

The new advanced setup should allow you to perform a one-click setup of this radio by selecting the radio from the dialog-box, then just pressing finished in the transmitter calibration menu.

This will only work if your 0406A transmitter is set to factory defaults - i.e. all trims are centralised, and all channel reverses are default.

If this function does not work correctly on your 0406A, you will need to select "My transmitter is not listed", and proceed with the standard CCPM demixing calibration.

i just flicked the switches, 1 to one, 2 to off !

be ok if i remember to reverse them when i fly again lol

im trying to solve a problem for a friend. i know about the 2 small switches under the batteries in the tx but what tx do we select in phoenix to use the esky 6ch tx?

wouldnt using the advanced calibration/ccpm de-mix work so we dont have to alter the 2 small switches?

[paulgsxr]

The advanced calibration/ccpm de-mix does work - thats how I use my TX with Phoenix.

I pick Esky 4 channel Tx, turn the hover & pitch knobs down to zero and use the 'My Tx is not recognised' option in advanced calibration. Works ok, helis seem a bit twitchy but that could be my ham fisted touch..


I was reading this post at work, when I got home I noticed I dont seem to have the small switches under battery 3, just a small square hole where I presume they are located on some TX's. I have 2 of these Tx's and neither have the switches.

MY tx and a patch lead to pheonix dongle is for sale on ebay setup ready for training

Ull need to wrap tape or a elastic band around the trainer lead though to keep it tight in the tx, as per usual the connection is crap!
