Transition to DX7

[cupracing]

Well ive purchased a new Dx7 with ar7000. I there anything I should be aware off in the transition of my models to the new dx7 from a Dx6i or it is the same menu?

Should be the same
you have 2 Dx7's ?
Do you want a third thinking of selling mine
only thing is it Mode 1

[Mart61]

or it is the same menu?

The same as what? A DX6i?

I'm afraid you need to setup a new model and setup the model afresh.

You cannot copy the settings over. They may be slightly out.

sorry just re read that and missed off dx6i

[Geek]

The menu is differant but should be easy

is the gyro gain the same?

[Mart61]

OK - well, what I will say is that, having gone from a DX6i to a DX7, the changes were, IMHO, quite daunting. Furthermore I found that I had to completely re-do my pitch curves to get the same physical pitch on the heli.

Start with the DX7 from scratch. Assume that none of your DX6i settings will work.

[crash-alot]

Yes the gyro gain will be similar.

thanks Mart, was hoping I could just transfer across the values, bind and be all set but alas it isnt so.

What gain are you running in the Dx6i ?

My GY401's tend to be in the low to mid 70's but a few others are higher.

[cupracing]

All mine are running in the high 60s

+1 - I found exactly the same going from DX6i to DX7.

[trillian]

I suspect you'll need to have it higher on the DX7.

It depends on if you have it set to gear using the travel adjust or to gyro which will be an actual gain setting.

A while back someone did some setup work on one of my 450's using a DX6i and I'm pretty sure I had to bump the gain setting from like 78 to almost 90 on this particular gyro (Gulang 700).

The safest bet is bump it up a bit and keep raising it til you start to get a fast wag and then back it down.

cheers Sheryl, might have to get you to run through when we are next down the field
