Hi everyone,

Got my first coaxial at Xmas, then bought another small one and spare/crashed repairs from Ebay to use as spares, bought a 9015 Volitation and it would not fly(as to windy), many crashes and spare parts later i came accross the Phoenix V4 and a DX6i. LOVE my flight sim. Three weeks ago i bought my 450 Pro 3gx V2 and AR6115e and am currently building it but struggling with the electrics!! Ihave found this awsome site and looking for help to my issues with electrics.

Welcome!

You can look through the 450 section under Helicopters. There's been a lot of talk about the 3GX lately.
Or you can just start a new thread with your question.

like stokke said there are a there are threads on this that go in to detail on how to do it

here is one link for now. this should get you started. i or someone else here will finish adding other links.

Here is a thread started by Adam, but it does not get into anything until page 2. I suggest you read the first page so you understand what is being discussed. Remember everything here is at the digression of the pilot. Any settings given on this site are a base point to start and should be taken as that. When I programed my first 450 on the radio I used Tony's settings. Shortly after that I learned that the D/R and Expo settings were to soft for my liking so I had to adjust them so I had more action on the heli.

ok now on the ar 6115 you need to take the white red black jumper and take the white wire out of the plugs then on the rx side of it take the purple throttle lead and put in the plug where the white wire was
should look like this then pluged back in the throttle port of the rx the red and black side go to the battery port of the 3gx

Kinlochleven. Didn't see that. Welcome fellow Scotsman. I'm from Balloch, on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond. Its been a long time since i left, but i still miss it. I had my first try at flying RC plane at a club there 25 years ago. I saw my first helicopter and was instantly hooked, but took me 23 years more before i got one.

Hi Super bad i will give this a go. Will it get the rotor turning? many thanks Graham

 

[Graham Lawrie]

Hi super bad, so there is nothing in the AR bind / data holes and nothing in the throttle side of the 3gx? Currently the ESC is plugged into the Batt/aux/out on the 3gx. Sorry for not understanding, i am a bit thick?
