I am looking to purchase the Heron receiver ready sailplane. Need to know if anyone has experience with the Admiral RX600SP 6-channel DSMX with stability Plus Gyro (ADMR04) from MotionRC. I would like to know how to hook the gyro up with my DX6. The DX6 is 2 years old, so I guess it's generation 2. I enjoy the Eflite Timber 1.5 and the Commander mPd Basic BNF. Have flown the Conscendo 53" and really enjoyed it. The Conscendo 73" is on my short list. There seems to be too many days with winds over 5 mph, hoping the Heron will be a good flyer with the help of a gyro.

Hey PghTom , I have one and installed on a cheap plane in case I encountered problems . There were none !!!
I use it like the AS3x that lots of us know and its perfect . I don't use recovery or turn it off so all I had to do was move the Two dip switches , J4 & J5 , then bind it . Once the binding was done I was finished . Made sure that the corrections were moving in the right way and that was all .
The way I set mine up there no mixing or assigning anything .

Can this receiver be used with the frsky transmitters?Comment

Bryan-did you leave the settings in the factory position for the stabilization, or did you move any of the pots to increase or decrease sensitivity?Originally posted by Hippie 64 View PostComment

Hey Loneflier I didn't' change anything . Only made sure the pots were as close to %50 and checked for the correct movement for corrections and put it in the air ! I am so pleased that I am trying to keep one if not two here at all times for new planes I but in case they are out of stockOriginally posted by Loneflier View Post

Thanks Bryan-I flew my FMS 1100 Typhoon with one of these yesterday. I watched the videos from MRC for this reciever, and it really answered all my questions. I left the gain positions alone, and like you, just checked that the surfaces were moving in the correct direction. She flew absolutely fantastic. Very stable, only needed 2 clicks of up elevator, and she was flying hands off! Winds were not bad, but gusting to about 10mph, and she handled that great. I couldn't feel the gyros working, but I am sure they were to keep her steady in the wind. Very impressive! I think I will be keeping a few of these on hand for future builds.Comment

My rud/ele don't move enough to check their direction. It's more of a guess. This is with the gain turned way up. The ailerons are very visible. DocComment

Doc....do you have those particular surface controls on low/high rate setting or the throw settings electronically reduced below 75% ?Originally posted by doctormike View PostWarbird Charlie

I'll check that. Thanks, DocComment

Thanks, Ryan...but, what is recovery? DocComment
-
Recovery is one of the mode options. Usually assigned to bind/trainer button. When pressed it returns aircaft to straight and level. If you held plane at odd angles and activated recovery ,the control surfaces will deflect in an attempt to right the aircraft.

Thanks, but, I guess I don't understand what that has to do with movement that is so small that you can't tell if it is correct. I don't use the recovery mode. DocComment
-
recovery mode exaggerates the correction, henceforth you will know if they are right. Example put aircraft nose down and flip into recovery, you should then see an up elevator deflection. That indicates your correction direction is indeed correct. It's easier to see what the corrections are in recovery than not. That's why I said it. Obviously you don't have to keep it in recovery mode just it's useful in making sure your gyro is setup properly.Originally posted by doctormike View Post

Thank you, very much! DocComment

Trying to fly without having to throw away the thing after the first attempt. Bought an Admiral RX600SP to use as the receiver, stabilizer and gyro. Anyone know how to set it up to have the auto-level capability enabled all of the time sort of like the SAFE mode? I want to have it such that when the sticks are not deliberately moved to cause a change the plane will just default back to level flight. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.Comment

Welcome to the Squawk Old_Man (there's a lot of us here that could've claimed that LOL)Originally posted by Old_Man View Post
The stabilizer/gyro function of the Admiral you just bought is not going do that. Sorry...........Warbird Charlie

Hi Warbird Charlie, according to Motion RC, yes, it will do that and I just spoke with them to confirm it. Thanks. I asked several times to make sure that I was stating correctly what I meant. I hope there was no confusion on what I was saying to the representative.Comment

Cool.............just learned something new about these Admirals. That is a function that separates them from their OEM(Lemon) version.Originally posted by Old_Man View PostWarbird Charlie
