Perfect the pics you posted were all I needed. It is a mechanical mixed heli. Good .. So now what settings you'll need.
Yes you will need that 6100 or 6200 any 6 series (highly recommend one with a satellite like the ar6200...) the 7 channel wont work with your dx6i.
Now, I would suggest investing in one more peice of equipment... --- governor...
With a 6ch tx, a few great ones work. My preference is multigov pro or multigov... Love them! And they are good to have.. BUT until you are just starting out hovering, you can very easily get away with not having one, and not have any side effects at all. Once you move on though. Get that governor with a programming LCD.
Settings:
Setup menu setup your swash type to 90degrees
Set your throttle curve to
0-30-60-75-100 normal mode
100-75-60-75-100 stunt
0000000000 throttle hold (for now-- until we set the carb)
Pitch curve
40-45-50-75-100 normal
0-25-50-75-100 stunt
0-25-50-75-100 hold or
30-45-50-75-100 hold(for autos)
Now the servo reverse menu in the setup list:
Check your ailerons if moving the stick on tx right move swash right and left goes left looking from the tail side
If not reverse that channel.
Same thing for elevator.
Pitch: moving Throttle stick up should rise the swash up.. And down should bring the swash down, of not reverse that servo.
Throttle: engine runs full throttle when the carb horn is all the way anti clockwise .. Closes going clockwise. So throttle going up should make it turn anticlockwise, and down clockwise.. Of not reverse that.
Rudder: moving stick right, tail pitch slider goes left, and vice versa.. See if that needs reversal...
For making setup a breeze I personally setup my pitch curve temporarily to
0-50-50-50-100 (used when setting subtrim , swash level and pitches) Cause as you saw in tony's videos you need to be at 50percent stick position. I highly recommend using this setting when setting up (cause of not according to values I gave you, center stick won't be 50 percent pitch)
Next is subtrims on the servos..
Move stick to half throttle.. Now check If the servos horns are perfectly 90 degrees to the servo body... If not, use subtrim menu in setup list to change those and get them to center perfectly (90degree horns to the servo body)
if you need me to tell you which servo is which one let me know I'll tell you that from the pics.
Do this and then get back with the results to start with.
there's a bunch more to do still .
You'll get it though. It's fun! And so easy once you go through it all the way.
