Re: Align 550 E & Spectrum DX6i radio & AR6210 receiver
I use the dx6i with 6210 rx on my 450 pro dfc with the 3Gx unit

But you would not be able to use the governor in the 3Gx

I have same set up with my 450. Curious as to why the advertisement referenced a7 channel system.

Curious as well that the 7 channel system is recommended for the 450/3GX system in order to use just two satellites without a receiver yet the 550 recommends a 7 channel receiver along with the 3GX?

As I said you need the 7th channel to control the governor mode, you can use the governor in the esc if you want,
If you have the 7 channels you use the satellites set up and no receiver so you get full function

Sorry...but...what is the governor mode??

governor mode is where you moderate the poweer to the motor to give you a determined head speed.
for instance you govern to 60% of the full throttle to give you 2200 rpm head speed, only needed on the bigger birds where they are designed for slightly lower head speeds.

Clarification: The "BeastX" is a gyro that does NOT have an integrated receiver, Correct?
The AR7200BX is a gyro with an integrated receiver, Correct?

The statement you have is correct
I went and talked to the guys flying at the collective rc club. Advice they gave me was to start with the heli I would like to end up with instead of going in steps. One of the members had an align 550e dsc with futaba radio. That was the size I am thinking abot getting. Any opinons or suggestions would be appreciated. I can take criticism.

A 550 is more stable than a 450 any day lots of people say a 450 do to crash cost are lower but when it comes down to it the 550 will be a much better heli to learn with

These guys have it nailed, the 450 is a great heli but can be twitchy as hell, the larger heli's have alot more stability due to the mass of the rotor disc as compared to the smaller 450 class,
If I had the extra cash when I bought all my kit I would have gone for the 500 class. And what the guys at the club said about going for the one you want to end up with, dude you will always want something bigger or better.........
But guys this is off the thread topic so you / we need to take this somewhere else, we don't want to thread jack.
