With my T-Rex currently sidelined due to a dead ESC being replaced under warranty, I decided to do a little shopping for the Blade CP. After an inverted flight that ended on the pavement, it needed repairs... er uh upgrades.
I did the Bell-Hiller mixing upgrade as well as an aluminum swashplate. I also got a fresh pair of motors. Not wanting to build a $600 Blade CP, I didn't go brushless as it is my "backup" heli. At the moment, the only thing from my original Blade purchase is the tail boom, frame and servos. This thing has been rebuilt so many times, it's got at least 9 lives.
I thought I'd take the Blade CP forward to 2.4Ghz land as well. I love the Spektrum DX7 with my T-Rex and thought that those 19 other model memories shouldn't go to waste. I picked up a 3-in-1 and a 6100 receiver. After a little setup, I've got everything programmed and ready to go. Cool.
Now, for the dumb question...
Where are people mounting their 6100s?
Does anyone have a photo that they'd like to share?
For the curious, I used John Adams DX7 setup (http://www.spektrumrc.com/Articles/Article.aspx?ArticleID=1688), but I went my own way on the normal pitch curve as I think his 0 50 100 must be a typo.
If anyone needs a 4-in-1, transmitter, and crystals, mine are both fully operational and in excellent condition. Send me a private message if you'd like to buy them.
