Also, when I use these settings and switch into "agility mode" (the LED turns red), I lose control over the right stick. I can use the throttle and rotate, but I can't do anything else.

Had the same problem on my DX7. I reversed the throttle channel to normal and the problem went away.

Are we talking the DX7s or the older DX7?

[Wolfy44]

Oh my God I love these settings! Everybody must try this! Great job guys thanks!

[flyingmoose]

I reset and put in all the settings and it works well. The only thing is that I need to leave Gear/Mode set to 1 to stay in Agility mode. (this is with a DX6i)

I'm talking about a DX7.

Thanks Craig, Good luck with the knee, is the operation scheduled yet?

Not yet. I will have to start getting everything lined up in the next few days.

Is there a way to use the f. Mode switch mode change from safe/agility BUT with the throttle hold on?

The settings worked really well thanks, I think it's stupid to use plane mode for a copter. Why couldn't Blade publish these settings?

Good question, Jay. It's been long enough now since I messed with all that stuff, certain aspects of the testing process aren't clear in my memory anymore... I think I had tried a couple different possibilities to allow that, but in the end I just shrugged and said it was good enough. There may be a way, but I'll have to sit down with my Nanos again and test... I've been moving to a new home and settling in for two weeks. I'll get back to you as soon as I can on that

Anything I left out of this list didn't need to be changed from default (on a blank profile) to make it fly.

With these settings, toggling the F.Mode / IU switch is what changes between "stability" and "agility" mode, rather than the Gyro/Flap switch per the instructions in the manual. The reason for this is that receiver channel 6 on an airplane is used for Flaps on wings, and on a heli, it's used for Pitch on the main blades.

This should work.

[jaybyrd]

Thanks for posting the setup again, it did get me going!

The thing is since the pitch channel is used to change the flight mode, via the F. Mode switch; when you have Throttle Hold on, the pitch curve is flat at 0-0-0-0-0.

One solution to a problem that might not be a problem to others is to set the Throttle HOld Pitch curve to 0-100-0-0-0. Then with Throttle Hold on you can blip the collective up and down real quick and change the flight mode, just thinking out loud, I need to try it.

Basically you have to turn off throttle hold to change flight modes with your settings, thats fine, it does work, but it doesn't work with throttle hold on.

Just looking for a way to make it perfect, I still don't understand why Blade only published ACRO settings, not HELI settings.

There's an interesting idea - maybe put 100 pitch at high left stick or some other stick position, with all the others at 0 - this may allow the flight mode change while in TH - go. do. test. report. If it works, I'll add it to the information. Please let me know if you have tested it successfully before I get a chance to

[jaybyrd]

Ok I have solved my own problem!

So the only change I did to your settings was make the Pitch setting for "Hold" 0-100-0-0-0.

So now with throttle hold on, I can blip the throttle up n back to change flight modes!

I noticed if I move to far up and down with left stick it will switch modes twice, so maybe 0-100-100-100-100 might be the better setting under Pitch, Hold.

Changing the pitch with or without throttle hold on has no real effect on the heli other than to change the flight mode from safe (blue) to agility (red) mode.

Getting a computerized transmitter has been the biggest improvement for RC heli piloting.

[jcmo]

There you go, Jay - now I'm remembering the limitations I ran up against...

With the 0-100-100-100-100 curve, you may have unintended flight mode changes when hitting TH to bail out during flight. I think for that reason, I like the idea of making the "blip" point one extreme of the throttle or the other, probably at position 5, as when I hit TH for landing, and then want to take off again, I always throttle all the way down, and don't want to accidentally hit the flight mode "bump" on my way down. Thoughts? I've not had time to test yet still.

In this way, if you wish to change flight modes with TH on, you push throttle all the way up one time, and then again to switch back, then you can throttle all the way down for takeoff.

[jaybyrd]

Hmm, good point! I didn't think of that.

Maybe 0-0-0-0-100 is the way to go. That way u have to give full left stick to change modes.

It would be nice if the mode change was more user tune able.

[jaydekay]

Very nice!

I have my DX7 configured with roughly the same settings and it's working well. The main reason I wanted to change this over from Acro to Heli is to have TH abilities. Using TH is a habit I've learned to use over time and is something I don't want to unlearn or get lazy about.

For clarification on the flight mode changes they actually change anytime F. Mode 2 is entered from F. Mode 1. It's up to the user if they want to return the toggle to F. Mode 1 immediately after changing modes. Returning to F. Mode 1 right away simply gets you one step closer to changing it again. You can either do it right away, or later, but it changing modes again will require a visit to F. Mode 1 first to "reset" the simulated "momentary" switch that these settings mimic.

Lastly, I only change flight modes when I'm already in a hover, so changing when in TH isn't something that I need personally.

Sorry, but I'm a newbie!
Thanks, Bill

Any response to the Travel Adjust Question related to the DX6i Setup?

[Heabob]

Just move your sticks around to the end points to make the arrows change.
And check to make sure they are all at 100%, or at least all equal numbers.
You can hold the stick over and then make adjustments...

[Bill Mc]

Thanks Heabob!

[voodoo11]

I'm a complete noob. Just bought my DX6i yesterday.

I updated the settings per the first post but was wondering if there is a way to make sure the switch to ability mode is only manualy done via the F.Mode switch. I'm not experienced enough to handle it switching between Agility and safe mode when I raise the throttle.

Any help here would be a life saver, er QX saver.
