CCPM140 with DX7

How to setup program mix in the DX7 radio for CCPM140 heli?

I don't think there's a 140 degree option in the DX7. I did, however, see a thread here a while back about how to do it with some custom mixes.

FWIW: The JR 9303 does have the option for 140 degree swash setup.

If you have one free mix you can program on the DX7. You can set the radio to do 140 deg CCPM this way. It is the same as a dedicated 140 deg program. You just have to set it up manually.
This will work with any tranny that will do 120 deg CCPM and has one mixer that can be programmed.

Per World Renowned Helicopter Pilot Dwight Shilling:

In order to accommodate a 140 CCPM setup with the 9Z requires the use of one program mix. The program mix that is necessary is elevator as Master to pitch as Slave. With my Caliber it requires -35% down linear mix and -33 up linear mix. The only other change is in the SWH menu. The elevator rate will need to be increased to approximately 70 to give the same control input as the standard 120 CCPM using a rate of 50. With these changes the Futaba will fly 140 CCPM perfectly. That is the setup I flew at the NATS with the Caliber. Using the 140 CCPM gives a more precise feel to the elevator inputs but does not change the collective or aileron feel.

So will DX7 works correctly with this mix for 140°. Will be difficult to correct the swash with this mix?

Let me know because i want to buy the BobbyW.Ed. upgrade for my Stratus and i don't know if to buy with 140° or 120°.

Thanks

Thanks for the question, I am having the same problem. I got my Joker cx home the other day ready to get it set up and then my heart sank as I ran through my DX7 swash types about 5 times only to realise that it does not have a 140 degree set up.

My confusion is this. Are the directions that daveh and hs2miu gave

a] for setting a 120 degree swash to act like a 140 or

b] for actually using a 140 with a transmiter that does not support it

Thanks again for the advice guys and thanks for the perfectly timed question.
