Radio - JR & Spektrum DSM > Spektrum DX6... HUGE CON for E-Helis!

Ok... so I just bought a new Spektrum DX6 for use with my electrics. Before buying this radio I knew the biggest downside for helis was the 3 point throttle and pitch curves but knowing I was going to use a governor this wasn't an issue until this!!!

I was in the process of setting up my throttle curves in idle up or stunt mode. My Shogun is geared to give me 2400 on the head speed at 80% throttle with the other 20% to take over when collective is applied to maintain the 2400 head speed. Now here is the problem:

NOTE: In Stunt Mode (S), the high position of the throttle curve is preset to 100%, and is not adjustable.



That is a huge, huge con with this radio because if you aren't running a flat throttle curve in governor mode the governor is always seeking the desired spot to run at.

Bad, bad, bad move on this radio!!!!

I saw that as well, however, it seems that you can set the EPA for the throttle channel to 80%, then run your flatline curve on idle up at 100% to get the results you are looking for. I know that I recently read a review either on a forum or in a magazine that mentioned the same thing you found, and that's how they dealt with it.

WreckMan2, there is an error in the manual.

THS is actually set to the THN value. So if you want a 80% flat line in stunt mode, set THN = 80, TLS = 80 and T2S = 80. That should do the trick.

Yep, I thought for sure it changed. I knew that point wasn't stuck at 100% after changing the normal curve high point.

Paul, why the decision to tie the THS to THN?
