View Full Version : Throttle hold on a DX7 in Reflex

I have been using my DX7 on Reflex for some time now and really like it.

Only thing is, I can't work out how to program my throttle hold switch to kill the throttle (ie. autorotation channel). When I do the channel assignment, if I flick the throttle hold switch, it doesn't register anything. So for now I use the Aux 2 switch for autorotation, but this doesn't teach me the real location of switches I use in real life.

Any ideas on how to set it up?

Thanks,
Ant

It works on mine (5.0.3) but I'm not sure anymore how I've done it.

The channel assignment could be the key. Look at my photo and give it a try.
Don't forget to activate Throttle Hold on the DX7.
I've got a flat throttle curve for NORM at 0%, ST-1 at 80% and ST-2 at 100%.

Now Channel 1 in the Reflex channel display should act according to the flight mode and the throttle hold switch.

Let us know if that solved your problem.

I noticed that you don't have the throttle assigned. If that's the case, you could set your throttle curves to always send 100% and if throttle Hold is on, then throttle curve at 0%. Then assign your throttle channel to the autorotation channel.

Thanks guys for the replies,

I did get it worked out finally. Firstly I didn't have throttle hold activated for the model I use in the tx for the sim, then it worked but it sent collective to 0 and left throttle running. So I reversed those two channels in the assignment, and now everything is perfect. It works exactly like it works on my real helis.
