Hey! Could you take a picture of the transmitter in the case? I want to see how it fits and if there's any room leftover. It's basically the same size as the 9303, right?

Ok... I put the first flight on it this evening. Holy crap!! This radio is very responsive. It could just be in my head, but it feels faster than a DX7. It is very hard to describe.

Initial findings...

GY611 users, if you do not use the Gyro sens menu, I would recommend plugging the gain control into AUX2. Then use ATV's to set the gains. I will try the Gyro sens feature in the next few days and see how that works. I personally don't like to use the Rudder D/R for the gain control but that's just me.

The over all use of programing is spectacular! There are so many little things that just make this baby so easy to use. You guys are gonna love it!

Max to bad,

I will post a pic later for you bro. I gotta tell you, there really isn't a lot of room left over.

That is great!!

and it should be faster, the resolutions is 2048 instead of 1024 like the dx7

Got mine today and the battery's charging. Hope to get all my helis programmed and fly with it this weekend. It feels great in the hands. Just like the 10X I think it feels a lot more solid that any of the Futaba radios.

Mine should be delivered tomorrow. I shouldn't be this excited.

Is there a swashplate timing feature, or just mixing aileron and elevator?

I cannot find a swash timing feature in the manual.


Thank you.

Yes, the switches are all fully assignable.

No need for a throttle cut since there is a normal analog throttle trim.

Great pics....thanks for sharing. I'm still contemplating if I really need to replace my X9303. The only thing I'm really after is the backlight feature and oh, the magnesium casing.

Do you mean phasing or do you mean servo speed compensation? If you mean the later, then, yes, it has servo speed compensation for CCPM setups.

I have a question regarding the "Elevator-Pitch Canceller" function in the Swash menu:

I understand that this function is intended to reduce or eliminate collective interactions on 120* CCPM setups which arise from pure elevator inputs. I assume that the radio is slowing down the two aileron servos since they don't have to move as great a distance as the elevator servo. My question is this: the manual indicates that to utilize the function you change the setting from inhibited "INH" to Active "ACT". However, instead of "ACT", I can select any value from 0 to 100. Is this so that one can "fine tune" how much slower the two aileron servos are operating? Is there a good starting value or is it all trial and error?

ups just came with my 12x and looks like my 10x will be gone on sunday to a good home. whats the deal with the rec are you only allowed to buy 2 rec and get 2 free or can you buy as many as 3 and get 3 free? Tom

Yes, the limit is 2. You have to purchase the rx's with the radio, though, as I understand it.

Yes, it is for fine tuning since the final answer will be dependent on your servo speed and perhaps slight geometry differences. The goal is to find the value that produces zero swash ball movement during fast elevator inputs.

Phasing.

Thanks. Played around with it a little. I was not able to find any value that eliminated the interaction altogether, but a value of "6" got pretty close. With the function inhibited on the first heli to set up on the radio so far (a 600N), extremely rapid inputs up and down on the elevator caused the swash ball the dance up and down the shaft. Continuing the same elevator inputs while at the same time activating the function with a value of "6" reduced the swash movement to almost nothing. Guess that all that is left is to fly it this weekend and see how it feels.

Thank you for the information.

I have now flown one in a TREX 450 SE with an AR6200 Rx.

It felt very good, somewhat different/better from the 10X with the Spekturm module in the same helicopter.

The programming with the rolling selector is taking me a bit of time to get used to, but works very well (I don't think I will miss the touch screen quite as much as I thought I would).

I miss the touch screen but not that much.
