May make an appearance tomorrow..

It seems very good,the new Sport its fitted to needs a bit of mechanical tinkering but the radio aspect is very good

Had 4 flights on it with no issues

I want to up the tension in the stick springs a bit


All positive so far

[ChrisB]

Sticks seem very responsive,i usually use zero expo but with that the merest breath on the aeileron when putting a elevator in gives a response,the same goes for rudder when using pitch

Flew heli yesterday up and away as far as i dared,,,ie little dot and no range problem

I love the 3 cm antennas

Tx feels a bit light and its weird not having the antenna stuck out in front of you

[Ashley Davis]

Got mine today, sticks definitely need tightening up a bit. Apart from that it lovely quality for the money. Will be fitting it into a machine for testing very shortly.

Has anyone changed a spectrum dx7 from mode 2 to mode 1, got one coming for chrissy with a t rex 600 to use it in.
Aint love grand

[ChrisB]

I think it comes in either Mode 1 or 2 when you order..

Just scanned thru my instructions and there is no reference to a mode change option

[zagifly]

I checked the online manual and couldn't see an option to change mode, thanks for checking the instructions that come with it.
Looks like it has to be the correct mode or don't buy, maybe this needs to be made a bit more public cos every other trannie I have ever bought has had the option for either mode.

Hi

The DX7 is not user Mode changable, was just messing around in the service menue today and it can't even be done in that I think.
So make sure you buy the right one.
As it's a US developed they never seem to see the need to be able to change Mode, think every one over there flies mode 2 anyway!

Cheers

Had a play with the DX7 for an hour -- quite impressed -- heard it had no throttle cut , but infact it has a throttle recovery .
You use the trim to stop the motor and it remembers for each model where it was . When you switch on again to that model you move the trim one click and jumps to the remembered position.
I think you get a lot for the £240 all I need is to get the same reliability as Futaba gave.

Had numerous flight on the T-Rex 600 now with the DX7. It's rock solid and the feel is awesome, really fast.

I want to use mine on the Trex600 -- how/where did you mount the Rx's.

Silly question time

Which is Mode 1 and which is Mode 2.

I have the throttle and rudder on the left and Cyclic on the right? is that Mode 1?

Seeing as this is important with the spectrum just thought I would clarify?

[Nutz]

Mode 2 is throttle/rudder on the left stick and elevator/aileron on the right stick

Mode 1 is elevator/rudder on the left stick and throttle/aileron on the right stick.

For other modes look here http://http://www.futaba-rc.com/faq/...-faq.html#q760

[Toby Heli]

thanks for that I assume every one uses Mode 2 here?

Mode 1 sounds weird

[Ade_Law]

90% of heli fliers use mode 2 yes.

a few use mode 1 but were working on those :-)
