Set up of tx was nothing special, I'm using ArducopterNG and didn't have to change anything in the code for…"
Michael Brown replied to Nicholas Tilbury's discussion Recommended Tx/Rx"Thanks for the reply. I just ordered the completed model to save time and trouble. Hmmm, maybe I should get a 8 channel rx and upgrade my tx from dx7. Scotland? How's the weather there?
Any special things to do in the tx to get it setup right…"
Paul Feely replied to Nicholas Tilbury's discussion Recommended Tx/Rx"The DX6i only has a two way switches on channel 5 & 6.

James replied to Nicholas Tilbury's discussion Recommended Tx/Rx"I think the main recommendation is one of the Spektrum series with six more more channels... DX6i or DX7i. Certainly that's what I'm going to be going for once I've trialled my airframe with a loaner radio system from a…"
