Peter Klimon replied to Arnt-Inge Hansen's discussion Spektrum DX8, 6 flights mode with one singel channel, by FM and Gear Switch"Vernon,
One thing I find confusing is why on the DX8 with so many switches available do you have to assign 6 positions to two toggle switches? Wouldn't it be easier to break this across to multiple toggle switches or is this an issue with the…"

Where would you suggest the best way to learn this? I would love to have some suggestions on getting started setting up transmitters, especially the DX8. Any ideas on where I should go. I've read the DX8 manual but without a practical…"
Peter Klimon replied to Arnt-Inge Hansen's discussion Spektrum DX8, 6 flights mode with one singel channel, by FM and Gear Switch"Vernon,
So from what you are saying is that the collective pitch is not used when flying Quads and Hexa copters? If so it certainly makes sense to use the settings for planes. I have not heard this mentioned before so I am curious if most users…"
Peter Klimon replied to Arnt-Inge Hansen's discussion Spektrum DX8, 6 flights mode with one singel channel, by FM and Gear Switch"Arnt,
Is there anyway you can explain the steps in more detail. You are assuming the readers know how to configure these options on the DX8. For new users such as myself I am immediately stuck when I get to step one Go to Servo Setup, Set Gear to…"
JPB replied to Arnt-Inge Hansen's discussion Spektrum DX8, 6 flights mode with one singel channel, by FM and Gear Switch"Thanks! I found one method that used a helicopter setup, and required a map to know what mode you were in. This works with a plane setup, and is easy to follow what mode you are in!"

Anthony Fernando replied to Arnt-Inge Hansen's discussion Spektrum DX8, 6 flights mode with one singel channel, by FM and Gear Switch"Locko, You should check the PWM values for each switch position and make sure that they are within the range.
