I am trying to fly a Hurricane 550 with a Spektrum DX7. Can some one help me in setting up the following program for NORMAL heli flight using Futaba 401 gyro in HH.
DUAL RATE for Aileron Elevator Rudder.
EXPONENTIAL Aileron Elevator Rudder.
Should I have mixing in use ?. If someone can post up a Helicopter Programming Guide marking NORMAL setting ONLY will help. Any assistance would be greatly apreciated.
PEZ.

Hey Pez

i have the same set up will try and post all my settings for you when i get home

One thing though i dont use dual rates (one reason is i am not sure of the benefits)

Let me know what ESC and Motor and tail servo your running as well

i will be able to help you set up the switch for swapping between HH and Rate mode as well.

Will get back to you tonight

Pez, I have the same setup also. I was able to confidently set up my DX7 after watching finless Bobs videos. His Hurri 550 setup vids for the gyro are using a 401 & his transmitter is a DX7. I downloaded them all. You will understand what your doing after watching those.

Hey Pez

Sorry but i havent had the time yet to post my DX7 settings

Greame67 is correct though the Finless or Jermo Video's are very good

This is what i used to Help set up my TX as well

I also used Raptor Technique as they have a good description on how to set up the 401 with a DX7

Also found this link very useful for setting up Gyro

Hope this helps
