Spektrum ok DX8 settings....

[trainrider06]

Alright I have been muddling through this DX8 programming starting with my Blade SR....
I'm not sure about what switches I should program where....also the 3 position switch how I should set my pitch/throttle curves up, Gyro and what switch for that? Can I assign that to the F-mode switch and run that and dual rates also?

Also I discovered my throttle hold switch is not functioning properly! I have to flick it 2-3 times back and forth to get it to work....not good! May have to move that to the gear switch I think....hate that cuz I am already trained on the right switch for that and its on the same side as the Fmode switch....

I put the gyro on the gyro switch. Never did like it on the F Mode switch. After I complete the setup, I never touch the rudder gain again.

Pitch settings, I run a linear curve on all 3.

And are you sure you have the hold mode enabled in the F Mode menu?

Yeah I flicked the switch like 2-3 times and the hold finally worked...don't know if it's a bad switch or what...wonder how hard that is to replace? I sure don't wanna have to use some other switch....

This is on a FB heli, so linear on all for both FB and FBL? What about throttle linear also? What would I need to make it a little more hot roddish?
I gotta go back and re set up the head/servo's I think because the swash is waaaay high on this thing!

 

[Tony]

Yup, linear on FB and FBL. When you land, you hit TH to keep from adding too much negative pitch. When taking off, first make sure you have a good ESC with a good slow start, then raise the throttle up to about 40% and turn TH off to start it spooling up.

Otherwise, run linear on 1 and 2 and on normal, run 46 48 50 75 100 to reduce negative pitch.

Yeah that's something I gotta figure out with the throttle hold, gotta get that switch fixed, don't want to chew up a heli while I am flicking the dang switch back and forth trying to cut the motor off.
This little SR is my experimental DX8 setup heli, after I get it going as good as it was on the DX6i I'll start on the others..
