Basic settings for my Futaba T6EX MX400

[edc]

I have been trying to find a basic settup for my MX400 electric Heli to just get me going but without success. Bits and pieces here and there but I really need someone to give me a bit of a kick to get me going.
I need
1. End point adjustment
2. Normal throttle curve
3. Normat pitch curve
4. Idole up throttle curve function
5. Idle up pitch curve
6. Hold..... Throttle hold function
7. Pitch rudder mixing function
8. Gyro mixing function
9. Swashplate type .I-5 3-S or 3-E
10. Fail safe

It is a lot to ask but someone out there knows this stuff on the top of their head and I have noone around to help give me a place to start.

Thanks in advance

epa will depend on tx and servo. normal throttle should be something like 0-25-50-75-100. normal pitch you need to figure out, based on midstick being zero pitch. idle up throttle something like 95-90-85-90-95 once you get better you'll probley want 95-95-95-95-95 or something like that. idle up pitch you need to figure out again with mid stick in idle up being zero pitch. set throttle hold to 0%, so when the throttle hold switch is flipped, there is zero throttle. pitch rudder mixing turned off/inh, assuming you have a hh gyro. gyro mixing off/inh also. does this mx400 have eccpm or mccpm? is it a 90degree swash or 120 degree? if it's 120degree then you want 3-S. i believe the fail safe only works in pcm mode, you should stick with ppm for now. failsafes are more for nitros anyhow. i'm going to assume for now that it's a 120 deg eccpm swash and forward you some pm's that were sent to me from vteknical, a fellow freak that helped me out getting my mx450 in the air. also, you've probly heard this 1000 times but watch all of finless's vids. the trex450 vids will be very close to the same info for your mx400. also, watch the ccpm setup vids, these are very important to know.

Try these settings:

Well, if you're Pro looks anything like my Pro you don't use 3-S as your swash setting. You MUST use 1-S.

The transmitter settings should be like this:
RevR screen:
chan 1 nor
chan 2 nor
chan 3 nor
chan 4 rev
chan 5 nor
chan 6 nor

D/R
chan 1 100%
chan 2 100%
chan 3 100%
chan 4 100%

EXPO
chan 1 0%
chan 2 0%
chan 4 0%

EPA
chan 1 70%
chan 2 40%
chan 3 100%
chan 4 60%
chan 5 100%
chan 6 35%

TRIM
all chan at 0% to start out (will change when you fly and trim)

N-TH
1 - 0%
2 - 50%
3 - 70%
4 - 85%
5 - 90%

N-PI
1 - 10%
2 - 30%
3 - 50%
4 - 50%
5 - 68%

I-TH (idle up throttle)
INH (inhibit this while learning or face disaster)trust me on that.

I-PI
Blank

HOLD
0% (set a zero so that if you bump the THHOLD switch by accident you don't go to a high throttle setting. With this switch in the forward position (towards you), your throttle stick will not work).

REVO
INH (don't use with a heading hold gyro)

GYRO
INH (if you have an inflight adjustable gyro then you use this to switch between Heading Hold and Rate gyro.

SWSH
1-S You MUST use this setting if yours is mCCPM like mine. Check the photo and see servo positions. If they are same as mine use 1-S only.

NOTE: These are all settings that will get you up and hovering when your throttle hits about the 50% position. Later, when your hovering well you may want to experiment with these settings. Be SURE to write all these down BEFORE you go changing anything.
