Hi All,
Pretty much a self explanatory title really! I'm trying to figure how to set up my radio (Futaba T6EXHP) so I can practice autos on the sim.
For some reason, when I flick the Th.Hold switch, the heli just drops out of the sky with all inputs having no effect on the attitude of the heli at all. I'm using a Minicopter JokerCX heli as its closest to the Swift I fly in real life. Unless anyone knows where I can get a patch for a Century Swift for the XTR?

Does anyone have a setup guide, or advice on how I should configure my settings?

Thanks

ps I'm a real noobie :oops: really so words of one syllable or a step by step instruction would be reall helpful untill I understand what all the terms mean :wink: Thanks

Sorry for the delay I've only just noticed your post. Not many people Look at the Sim Forum.

I think you have the wrong channel assigments have you got the collective and throttle swapped over ? so when you flip your hold switch you are applying full negative collective. Anyway this is how I set mine up on A Futaba 9C I should imagine it would be the same as your T6EXHP. Here are my assignments to start off with :-
Channel 1-Aileron (cylic)
Channel 2-Elevator
Channel 3-Throttle
Channel 4-Rudder
Channel 5-Autorotation
Channel 6-Collective

I hope this helps

Cheers
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for that, I'll give them a go. Have been doing a bit of research (and talking to my LHS - invaluable!) and I think I may be getting it sorted - I'll try your settings and see how I get on.
Just want to get this auto thing nailed before I need to do it for real.
Thanks

As Glenn says, you will need to swap your channel allocation in the radio. Once I was lost with a new model and I used the F8 (Channel Display) function to see the channel assignments in IDLE mode (not Normal): the throttle channel stays between 90%-100%, so you can determine which one is your pitch channel (this one goes between 0-100%).
