I just got me a DX7 and was wondering if anyone has the settings for a AR7000, AR6100, or AR6000 with a Blade CP Pro or Blade CP.

Also, wondering if anyone has used the DX7 to control the Blade CX2... can you use the stock 4in1? it uses the same Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 technology. Is it just a matter of setting up the model in the DX7 and binding to the stock reciever?

Anyone done this yet?

Thanks

Found this link when I was searching for the DX6 settings 2 weeks ago..

success for the CX2!


setting up the DX7 with the stock Blade CX2, is just as I suspected....

finding the right settings, saving model to memory, and binding the tx to rx.

VERY SIMPLE,

Here's how:

OK, this is what I have done,

1. Reset a spare model on the transmitter to ACRO (airplane, not heli)

2. Set the throttle ATV on the transmitter to low 150%

3. Reverse channels 2 3 4

4. Set expos on aileron and elevator to +25% (or a little more)

5. Bind the DX2 reciever to the DX7 transmitter

I think the only thing I have to explain is the binding process:

5. Bind the DX2 reciever to the DX7 transmitter,
make sure flight battery is disconnected:

a:Start by plugging the binding plug into the "bat" slot in the RX.

b:Make sure to disconnect both motors to the RX for safety

c:Plug in flying battery, wait for the blinking orange LED.

d:While holding the "bind" button on the back of the DX7 turn on the
transmitter.
e:The blinking orange LED on the RX should pause then blink slowly.

f: Disconnect the flight battery and remove the binding plug from the RX

g:Cycle the power on the TX, make sure it's on.

h:Connect flight battery to th RX, check that you have servo control.
If the servos are moving correctly power down the RX.

i: With the flight battery dissconnected, reconnect the motor leads.

j: at this point you want to be off the desk and have the heli in an
open flying area, just in case you did something wrong.

k.Turn on Transmitter

l:Reconnect the flying battery and do a slow runnup making sure every
thing is moving the way it should, if it is, trim and fly.

thanks gixxer,


I new the info had to be somewhere in this forum!


here's the cut and paste from the link **

Ok, here is how I have mine setup and it's easy for me to fly but I know it may not suit your style of flight so maybe someone may like to use this to get started and then fine tune to however you like. Oh yeah, first get your CPP flying well with the stock transmitter(trim,proportional and gyro even if you are using the G90) before doing this as it may be harder for you to narrow down your problems after the DX7 install if you have any. As a matter of fact, if you're using the G90, setup your gyro from the gyro itself, not the transmitter because with the DX7 it won't be necessary. Here goes....

First you have to get this thing connected right....

Ch1 – Throttle

Ch2 – One of the two swash plate servos that are together

Ch3 – The swash plate servo that is by itself (front)

Ch4 – Tail

Ch5 – Gain for tail

Ch6 – Other swash plate servo that is a pair

Going through the menus on DX7 :

Hold down and select at same time and turn on TX

Select model

Name your model if you like

Make sure it's set to heli

Leave trainer on INH

Leave throttle recovery on INH

Leave input select on INH

Swash type should be 3 servos at 120

Now turn off TX and then back on

At main menu press down and select at same time

We'll start at the servo reversing menu

Reverse channels 2, 3, and 4

Your trims should be close at this point so for now leave alone

Travel adjust, everything is 100% EXCEPT:
H Throttle 150%
L Rudder 125%
R Rudder 125%
H Pitch 150%
L Pitch 150%

Swash Mix:
Aileron +60%
Elevator +60%
Pitch +35%

Throttle hold is set at 0% SWITCH is Rudder D/R (top right switch)

Throttle curve NORM is left alone

Throttle curve ST-1 is L 100%, 2 55%, H 100%

Throttle curve ST-2 I left alone for now

Pitch curve NORM is L 48%, 2 50%, H 100% (This is so at idle there should be 1 or so positive pitch so it doesn't slam into the ground while landing)

Pitch curve ST-1 is left alone (Should be full negative pitch at idle and full positive pitch at full throttle)

Pitch curve ST-2 I left alone also

Pitch curve for Hold switch is L 30%, 2 50%, H 100% (good for practicing autorotations although the PRO doesn't do this well, at idle it should come down softly while keeping the headspeed up)

I have no Revo mixing but will be experimenting soon

I have not used the program mix either

Well, that should get you close. I haven't had alot of time to mess with these settings much but for now it's flying really well. I have not used the Exponentials, Revolution mixing or even the dual rates a whole lot so I can't really say what works well and what doesn't at this point. Really that should be left up to each pilot to try themselves, again this information that I have given you may not be to your liking but it will get you started. ENJOY!
