Admiral RX600SP 6-channel DSMX with Stability Plus Gyro

[osnoy@icloud.com]

Hello, Has anyone set up the Admiral RX600SP with a Orange RX TX10i transmitter? How do I set up the recovery channel and switch please ?
Kind regards,

[James]

Thanks for getting back to me yes I know how to test to see if the gyro is working I have a dx6e transmitter I'm all bound up and the servos work just no stability it's just a receiver I've got the dip switches set on normal airplane mode and nothing there's just a green and red led on thank you for your help

You are probably just overlooking something. We made an entire video series on how to set it up properly. Watch them all in order and you should be good to go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tusY...BH3kNxu02zx0WP

Since you have observed that there's only a green/red light on all the time, you must know that means the gyro is OFF. You must also know that you need to do the proper mixes and switch assignments so that you can throw the switch to get to the gyro ON mode, which is a solid green. Beyond this, you may have a defective unit but then, you say you have several of these RXs. Maybe try another one. If it does the same thing, I would suggest that you haven't set it up properly, since they can't all be defective. Without knowing exactly what you did or how much you know about how these things work, it would be hard to say which key step(s) is missing.

Hey everyone I'm needing help with my gyro I have been following all the instructions over and over again but still having no luck getting the gyro on the receiver comes on and everything servos work esc works just no gyro I am somewhat still a beginner I fly the little p51 and corsair(400mm) I'm trying to move up and fly the bigger birds please help I have a few of these admiral gyros and they're just sitting here bc I can't figure out how get the gyro on thank you and God bless y'all

Which instructions - written instructions, videos? (View the videos. The "quick start" guide may not provide enough clear information to get this device to work.) How do you know the gyro isn't working? Do you know how to test for it? To start with on the first flight, the gains should be around 30%, HOWEVER, to test that each axis is being affected by the gyro, you turn the gains to max to test on the bench. Then you should see each control surface move (and hear the servos working) in response to moving the plane in your hands.
Additionally, switches must be assigned and the switches must be in the correct position to turn the gyro ON. If you have a switch in the OFF position, then of course, the gyros are OFF. If you have the switch on "heading gain" (or 3D gain), this is not a good way to test. (Don't use heading gain except for 3D planes). If you have the master gain on a knob and the knob is turned to zero, then the gyros won't work.

Thank you.

Does the Gain knob on the NX10 reduce or increase gains on the Admiral RX600SP?

"Master Gain" as controlled by a knob makes the set gain go from "0%" to "100%" of whatever you set on the gain pots on the device. IE, if your gain pots on the device is set at the mid-point (or 50%), then your knob can adjust to gain from ZERO % to 100% or 50% (or 50%). If the knob is set to the 1/2 way mark, then your total gain is 50% of 50% (or 25%). Most planes use actual gain of around 25% to 35%. The faster the plane, the less gain it can handle. Also for most planes, use "rate" gain. "Heading" gain should only be used for slow 3D flight.
PS. As to whether the knob increases or decreases the gain is generally "increasing" as you turn it clockwise, UNLESS you've reversed the knob function.

Thank you everyone for the responses. After much experimentation and help from various folks and from the great tech guys at Motion RC I have discovered that by toggling the dip switches back and forth I was able to get the stabilization working on all channels. That is all it took. On the 600SP left ail goes in Ail channel right Ail goes in aux 1 set rx to Flaperons. Set your servo direction accordingly. TX gets set to Flaperons. Rx is in combo A with no mix for recovery button.

I am trying to get flaperons on my F16 also. How can i assign the aux channel as aileron 2 and will that work bypassing the electronics board in the plane ??

Bypassing the board when using a gyro for flaperons is a good idea. The board may do weird things to the gyro affect.
PS. I have never been able to successfully get stabilized flaperons to function using this kind of stabilized RX. I've had limited success doing "dual ailerons" and then going with a mix for flaps. This maintains stabilization for ailerons while not having the deployment of the flaps causing severe adverse affects on aileron stabilization. However, one must take the risk of over driving the aileron servos if the stabilization gain is set too high, which may mean that aileron gyro stabilization becomes useless and pointless.

What I'm about to post may or may not be applicable to the 600SP, which is a derivative of the Lemon Stab Plus. In the case of the Lemon product, not only are the dipswitches J4,5,6 set to ON, BUT in addition to this, the TX must be set to "flaperon" in the wing type menu. This is contrary to the usual methodology when dealing with a gyro device where the TX is in fact, set to "1 AIL". There appears to be some irregularity (or uniqueness) to the Lemon product, which may be related to the 600SP. Stabilization in flaperon mode is unique and may also be related to the fact that "recovery" mode MUST NOT be used when flaperons are deployed. This tells me that when flaps are deployed, stabilization may be negatively affected. Also ensure that one aileron is plugged into the aileron port and the other aileron is plugged into the flap (AUX1) port. Which one goes where is determined by trial and error and also by experimenting with servo reverse on one or both ailerons.
Although the Lemon and 600SP products are very reasonably priced for what you get, personally, I wouldn't use one for stabilized flaperons. There are other (but more expensive) products that work better for this purpose. For non-flaperon functions, these are exceptional value for the money.

[2139bobe]

I had tried that and it did not work. I will try it again and re bind.

Set the dip switches for flaperon on the RX, but then set the wing type to just normal with flaps. 1 ail 1 flap I believe. Then try it. The RX routes the info from the Tx to the servos.

[2139bobe]

I have set all the dip switches to on, on the receiver. On the TX I have set the wing type to flaperon. On the main TX screen I have set the flaps on a 3 pos switch. Ailerons work fine but when I move the flap switch to pos 1 one aileron goes up and one goes down. This is a freewing F16 90. I have looked on the product page and watched all the videos there is nothing there that addresses this.

Gentlemen, I need help setting up my freewing F16 using the Admiral 600 SP receiver and I have a Spektrum DX8 Gen 2 TX. I want to set it up with Flaperons. Is there a video for this or can anyone help

You need to tell us what you've done so far. Have you gone to the product page for this device at MotionRC and looked at the "video" and "support" tabs? That's a good place to start.

Do you get the throws back when you turn the gains to zero? Is it possible that you accidentally somehow set the gyro in "recovery" mode? In recovery mode, throws are quite limited.

Before I set my rates I was not getting much movement. I set my low rates to 75%, 25% expo and my high rates to 100%, 20% expo.
The elevator and rudder push rods were in the outer most hole at the servos; I can't get to these to move the push rods.
I have both my rudder in the first hole and elevator set in the second hole furthest from the control surface.

With the sky surfer I find that if I move the rods at the control horns to the innermost hole for more throw I get some binding at the push rods.
There is plenty of throw with these settings.


I had to bend the pushrods to line them up with the control horns for smoother action.

See pictures below.
