DX6/CPP Pilots, Care to Share Your Set Up?

[HeliEddie]

Finally got off my lazy butt and installed a receiver in my CPP so I could use my DX6 with it. I'm interested to see how other DX6/CPP pilots have their parameters set up.

Care to share?

[Buzzkill]

I'll share my settings if you'll share your DX6? Just kidding. I wish I could help I have a stock TX. I'm sure someone here has a CPP/DX6 though.

Would the settings be similar for the DX7 as well?

[HeliEddie]

That's a good question. I'd be interested to know that as well.

I'm still in the process of getting the DX6 setup to work well with the CP Pro so I can't give you a solid set of parameters yet. I can say that I started with a Trex setup, I was using this TX in my 450 SA before I got a DX7 for it.

There are considerable differences between a DX6 and DX7 in terms of programming, i.e. 5 point curves on the 7 vs 3 point on the 6. There is a dedicated Gyro setup on the 7 that doesn't exist in the DX6 programming. That said, the setup parameters for either one would be a useable baseline for starting with the other.

Here's some basic settings that should get you started...
Throttle curve - normal mode using 800 mAH lipos
TLN = 0%
T2N = 65%
THN = 100%

Idle up mode - on the DX6 you can only set the T2S and TLS parameters, it automatically assumes 100% for the last. I'm currently set for 85% and 100% respectively but these could change once I get the pitch curves set the way I want them.

Pitch curve - The numbers I'm using will probably be useless for your setup due to the way I currently have the rotor head and servos setup on my CP, but here they are...
PLN = 40%
P2N = 75%
PHN = 100%

I haven't even begun to work out the the other set of pitch curves...

CCPM mix I have set at 60% on all three settings, I will probably go up to 65%

Servo direction
AIL = REV
ELE = REV
RUD = REV
GER = Normal
PIT = Normal
THR = Normal

I'm only on day 2 of having the DX6 RX installed in my CP Pro and I'm also doing a number of other upgrades as well, so this is very much a work in progress. Eventually I may bind the AR6000 to the DX7 TX to see how much of a difference there is, for now I'll stay with the simpler programming of the DX6.

These settings will get you pointed in the right direction for normal flight mode at least, you can tweak it from there. Good luck, let us know what you come up with.
