You will need to click on system, and then setup a new controller. It will have to be a custom controller since the T6 is not in there that I could find. Pretty much, you will need to remap your sticks so that it works with it. That is, if it can work with it. I have never tried it so can't say for sure if it will work. the sim was made to work with Spektrum/JR Tx's.

Thanks Tony I have tried that. I still only get one stick working I also thought that the T6 was a rebadged futaba? cheers

I'm not sure about that. I think it uses the same frequency as Futaba, but I'm not clear on if it's a clone of the futaba. When I see "T6" in any transmitter, all I think of is the T6config which is used on the REALLY cheap Tx's that dont' work worth a crap. I surely hope the Align T6 is not of the same quality.

Yay!! Got it working. Went into advanced set up in adding transmitter. I dont think its a clone came with the Align 450 Pro RTF..No wonder everyone is saying practice on a sim first..lol. Thanks and cheers.

Yup, the sim will get your fingers used to controlling the heli. It will take time, and whatever you do, DON'T TREAT IT LIKE A GAME! I have found myself doing that, and it has cost me by putting some bad tendencies in my head thinking I can do them in real life lmao.

If that is true, then I'm getting rid of the 600 and going with another company. I will not support any company that is making clones of other 'original' items from other manufacturers. why do I see a SAB in my future...

It's one of the entry level tx, can't really comment any further but I chose the dx6i over it. Not a clone Tony as far as I am aware just a rebadge job. Have a look at the align video for the 450 plus rtf and see what you think. The 6 ex tx was what I was comparing to the dx but did not have sub trim options that's why I went for dx, only slight diffs between t6 and ex biggest being frequency type I think.

My friend has the Futaba (Align) T6. It's an OK transmitter - but I would classify it as a cheapo plastic controller. Perfectly fine for beginners - but you def want to upgrade to something a bit more fancy later on.

I did fly with it, and it felt just fine. A bit hard movement on the gimbals though. Also, the menus does suck - but you get what you pay for (no disrespect).

You are absolutely right about the menu. A proper devil to try and set up. The gimbals are a bit sticky to move, but might change with use. Will keep on using it until I get the hang of this flying game. cheers for the comments.
