New Dx6 Radio Setup for 500 3D.
Can anyone share some lights here. What would be the setup/programing for the new Dx6 radio for 500 3d.
I called HH and they said they don't have any programing for the 500 3d & 450 3d for the new Dx6 radio/transmitter..... Thanks, Robin |

I'm guessing you can safely follow most of the DX8's programming setup for the DX6 2G (2nd Generation). As long as your transmitter inputs and gyro compensation are moving in the correct directions when all is said and done, you're good to go. You may have to lower the lower end of your throttle channel's travel adjust to get the stock ESC to arm.

I happen to have the 3D on my new DX6... everything is handled by two switches. switch B - pos. 0 = throttle and collective in normal/low rates:: pos. 1 = idle up/med rates/throttle curve at 75%" pos. 2 = idle up/highrates/ cyrve at 100%
and throttle Hold is on switch H. makes everything nice and simple. I think I can post an attachment here? If so I can share my .spm file You would want to check the gyro and swash settings and make sure they are adjusted for your heli. Let me know... peace |

Great information! If you could share your .spm file here meaning your radio programing then I can just copy it to my new dx6 radio. I am worried about the swash mix and reverse. Thanks, Robin |

They perfectly explained both of those mix/reverse and a whole lot more. Take a look at this .spm and see what you think. One of much more experienced Heli guys at the club I belong to set my radio up this way for me. It wasn't really until today that I know why and how this all is working. Heck took me a week just to learn how to get around my radio and get comfortable with it. Took him about 2 min's to set my radio up. crazy... I'm am in debt to those that know so much more than me and pass their experience on. Let me know how it works out. +1 Uriah on following the DX8 info too, it's really all the same, just in a slightly different order/place in the DX6/9/18 Peace |

Yes I just saw the programming for 450 x in the new dx6 support online on blade helis. I can try to use the same programming for the 450 3d except the swash type & swash mix if I am correct.... Don't know what will be the numbers for swash mix for 450 3d. Thanks, Robin |

Hello Not Here, I just got my dx6 setup done for the 500 3d. I followed dx8 setup from the 500 3d manual. Question: Is your frame rate 11ms in dx6 for 500 3d? Thanks, Robin |

Cool. Mine is set up and flying. Now working on some final fine tuning to get my sim to match as close as possible to IRL so I can have better practice time. I'd say i have it about 90% there. Flew four packs in a row with it yesterday. I can see I'm going to NEED at least four more.
In answer to your question; mine are set to 11ms Peace |

But I just downloaded the file you posted into my DX6 and tried it out. I still couldent get the thing to take off.... However I accidentaly flicked the throttle mode switch to stunt 1 whilst it was off, and then went to start up. The motor made a realy odd noise and wouldent spin up very much. It then started smoking !!!!..... So I shut it all down right away. It only smoked for about 1 seccond before I shut it down. It all seems to still be OK and everything is running as before. Is there any way I can determin if any permanent damage has been done !. Thanks Rob |

Hello,
Do you mind sharing an DX6 spm file for Blade 500? I believe the one posted here was installed by another user and he seemed to encountered some problems. I really appreciate any help as I am kinda new to this side of the RC world. All the best, Alp |
