| OK, I have a stumper. A quick background, Spektrum DX6/AR6000 being installed in a Blade 400 Plug 'n Play. This makes the 7th model setup up my DX6. I have 6 other helis that use this DX6/AR6000 combination.
All my other helis are set up in the following plug positions
1 - battery (not used) 2 - throttle (Channel 1, Throttle) 3 - aileron (Channel 2, Aileron, lower rear servo) 4 - elevator (Channel 3, Elevator, front servo) 5 - gyro (Channel 4, Rudder) 6 - gyro sense (Channel 5, Aux 1) 7 - Pitch (Channel 6, Aux 2, upper rear servo)
With the first 6 helis, the right DX6 stick gives pitch and roll control and the left stick gives throttle/collective and rudder control.
With the 400 PNP, set up just like my other helis, the right stick gives roll and throttle/collective control and the left stick gives rudder and pitch control. I have checked, double checked, even triple checked and I can't find a fix for what is happening.
All 7 receivers are Spektrum AR6000, I even tried swapping receivers around, but this strange problem remained with Model 7.
EDIT: I swapped in a spare receiver and had the same problem. I then took a receiver out of a proven good combination and it worked just fine in the 400 PNP. So it seems like it might be a receiver issue? I always thought that the transmitter set the mode, not the receiver. Darn strange. Is there anyway to use the existing receivers and have pitch/roll on the right stick and throttle/collective/rudder on the left stick?
Your thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
