Welcome to the “BLOT”

I’ve been flying my CP for several months and have had a constant problem with erratic behavior.  It bounces up, bounces down, left, right, etc…  I’ve looked for a sticky swash, stuck ball joints, I’ve read through the posts looking for the smallest clue.  I even tried several methods for isolating the FM antenna.  Nada, zip, zilch.

Then came the new Spektrum DX6i with an AR6200.  Ok, so the transmiter was for another model but I couldn’t let that receiver go to waste.  However, the manual was pretty useless for my needs in getting it integrated.  After a few rounds on the Internet and an extremely helpful YouTube video series, this thing was up and flying.  So, here are the tips that helped me make this F$@%er rock solid.

First problem, what plugged into what???

Note:  The BATT connection is used to bind the transmiter to receiver and is also used for a dedicated receiver battery.  Otherwise, the receiver gets it’s juice through the throttle connection from the BEC built into the 3 and 1.

That part being done, I then ran into the problem of trying to decipher the manual’s instructions on setting everything up on the 6i.  Here’s the original YouTube video that helped tremendously.   It comes in three parts and this guy breaks everything down in a snap.

Here are the settings that helped me get flying:
