Thank you for this video! I noticed yesterday while getting reacquainted my DX6i that when checking MONITOR mode the calibrations were off. Your video helped me to get them to near perfect!
Thank you for this! I still watch it to make sure I’m doing it right. It’s still the best controller out there. One more piece of advice- if you can’t get the arrows perfect you can sub trim them to the middle.Thanks again sir.
Great video. Thanks. Centre all trims before you start. This is critical. I tried it and initially lost my throttle altogether as I hadn't noticed that the trim was all in. Once centred it worked like a charm. Thanks.
Thank You, absoulute perfect !! I had to change both sticks , close to a poti failure on the throttle. I made the decision then to install two new sticks. After installation only the calibration has to be carried out . I have done this close to your description. Works fine and each stick is now ok again. by the way ... there is no more spektrum support for the dx6i ( no more spare parts .... ?? ) . i have purchased a set of new sticks, and now everething works again. Best Regards from Germany - nearby Frankfurt !!
You are a very easy to understand assum teacher. I wood like to thank you for lesson. I just bought a Vibe fifty Nex copter. My remote is a DX6i. I was really hoping u could show me how to bind with it so I can pilot this beast.
Thanks for the video, had no idea about the calibration. One thing I noticed is that after first doing the calibration I thought it hadn't worked. But then I zeroed all my trims and checked the monitor and it was perfect. If mentioned in the video I had just missed it.
I must admit I did forget that but but glad you are OK with it. This is info that they don't want people to know I think. I found out by experimenting because my DX6 was miles out, so thought I would share it for free :-)
Followed exactly ... Worked great, thank you.... It still doesn't make me able to pilot my new quad too well .... Ah, well - practice makes perfect !..
Do you have to calibrate every model nimber? Because in my situation model number 3 is not calibrated, the 4 channels are not centered and when i ON my tx with the procedure, the number is not displayed instead and when i put the flaf switch to 1 the TAER and numbers will display! weared?
Great Video. i tried the first time to set mine up and it was not doing like yours. i got to looking around and found my TH Hold switch was loose and it was backwards . i turned it around , and it went back thru the video and it was spot on .. thank you
Hi , great video thanks so much ... Question throttle in dead center position will still get full throttle traveling on airplanes or this way is for 3d helicopter ? Thanks
Thank you very much for this video ! Very useful !!! I can´t understand that Horizon did not printed this calibration procedure in the manual those days. By the way, did some of you guys noticed that a checksum of the ROM and a Firmware-Date is displayed for a second or two after you use the special key combination and then disappears after you let go those two trim buttons, then the calibration menu is displayed. Might be helpful too for some of us to know how old the firmware is. Mine displays something from 2013...
This was really educational and ill keep it in my tool box for other flights . Can you tell me how to change the stick config as the right stick when moved to the right would make my delta wing go down move right and it would go up or flare push it up and it turns right down left. and this is the reason i have not flown yet. I want the right stick up make the plane go down back up left left and right go right can you video a responce please?
Topvideos1001 Finally managed to sort it after trying loads of times like you mention in video . . .I just used the black buttons with red arrows each side.. .Great video and have enjoyed other videos of yours
Thank you very much, I remember when I bought my HK-500GT. I never read the manual for the DX6i. All were on power. I do not know which button I hooked on and the helicopter began to turn in full speed. it made me so scared that I never touch again this helicopter.
Yea I must agree a great video and something a lot off people might not realise. I checked mine a few weeks ago and they were slightly off so this video really helped me a lot to check to see if they were correct plus to also get them set perfectly once I knew they were slightly off so great vid all round and a massive thanks as it's worked a treat and helped me get my settings perfect. Nice one bud really appreciate the help!!!!! :)
hello there. i tried to calibrate my dx61 but when i switch the th hold to 1 and the rest on 0, when i switch the tx on while the trims are pushed towards the inside, the monitor shows *-*-*-tr hold-*-*-* and beems intermittently. it doesnt show what your video shows with all the numbers. thanks
When I turned on my radio with the two trim switched held as shown,my radio screen just went blank.I did the cal anyways and it still seemed to work.Weird!
hi i did this in my DX6i everything set to zero except the rudder. that is still almost all the way to the left. when i push left, it goes near the middle. when i push right, it hardly moves at all. Can you help? thanks
Followed the instructions on your video and the arrows lined up except the ele which is little more than halfway to the left of center. When I move the stick it only moves abit to the right then stops. Any ideas. Thanks for any help.
Does this apply to all saved models in radio or just the one selected? In other words, do we need to repeat 10 times or just one? Thanks, excellent tip by the way.
Great video but I have a question. I am using this DX6 controller to drive an electric cart I made.I use the aileron control on the right to steer it left and right. I move it to the left and the cart goes to the left. How can I change the orientation so when I push it left it goes right?
Simple, there is, in the main menu an option to reverse the control, if no luck then get a servo reverser they are cheap as chips. Good luck. Here -- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QISJQBC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00QISJQBC&linkCode=as2&tag=multibladehel-20
i followed every step but my helicopter still isnt calibrated,any tips? also how can i add the light feature? and how can i make the controllers move a little slower for the heli to react? thank you
As I suspected. Took the transmitter apart (Plenty of videos on YT for that) Cleaned the potentiometer, re-assembled and then ran through this calibration again. Everything working fine again. Thanks again
Très bien, bien expliqué et images très belles... Merci pour le travail... JC

Merci beaucoup pour le complément Sir .
Could I possibly pay you to teach me to to binde and set it up the right way please

This is really awesome! Thank you for showing us how to perform such an obscure procedure!
My pleasure, please feel free to share it around to help others.
Great video! As other reviewers stated. I never new about this feature. I wonder why the manual doesn't explain this. Thank you so very much.
Great video. Thanks. Centre all trims before you start. This is critical. I tried it and initially lost my throttle altogether as I hadn't noticed that the trim was all in. Once centred it worked like a charm. Thanks.
Glad to help.
Brilliant, I am a rookie and use a DX6i with boats. my Rudder was out and my throttle but not anymore !!! Thank you

This is the sort of info us beginners need - thanks so much for posting
Omg, thanks for this. Had my spektrum for 18 months, and it's haven't been calibrated for this entire time. Gonna be fun to fly next time ;)
Have fun :-)

Wow! This is new to me as well. Will check and get back. Thanks a ton!

Thank you so much. I thought my Tx was damaged somehow because even trim adjustment wasn't helping. All set now!
You have no doubt saved a lot of head aches! Great video!
scott firman Thank you very much Scot :-) I like helping people out.
Fantastic! Didn't know about this. Thank you very much, Sir!
Bravo. Followed procedure and everything in the center.
Thanks for helping and big salute from India ......
Thank you! Plan on purchasing a DX6 in the future. This may help avoid some headaches! ;-) Cheers!
Love the back light feature as well.
Did that myself ;-)
Great tutorial . Clear and well done. Thank you.
Thank you very much :-)
Most excellent instruction!!! Even a beginner like me can follow...many thanks!
A Hill Thank you very much :-)
Had no idea about this! Excellent video!
Great info. I would be lost without it. Thanks a bunch.

Glad to help.
Followed exactly ... Worked great, thank you.... It still doesn't make me able to pilot my new quad too well .... Ah, well - practice makes perfect !..
cadcamandy1 LOL Keep practicing ;-)
Nice piece of kit!!
Great video, Will be ordering soon a DX6i , these instructions also work on the Hobby King Orange T6 transmitter.
I don't know about the Orange Tx so cant say, I have never seen one sorry.
Well done,been bugging me for a while.All good now. Thanks mate.
Do you have to calibrate every model nimber? Because in my situation model number 3 is not calibrated, the 4 channels are not centered and when i ON my tx with the procedure, the number is not displayed instead and when i put the flaf switch to 1 the TAER and numbers will display! weared?

Hi , great video thanks so much ... Question throttle in dead center position will still get full throttle traveling on airplanes or this way is for 3d helicopter ? Thanks
we need more guys like u in this hobby
Thank you very much :-)
Thank you so much for this video, it helps a lot. :)
Very good, and detailed video my brother. Good information to have as it just so happens I have the DX6i ;-) I will try this for sure!
Thanks for the compliment : -) Only needs doing if your settings are effecting the flight, mainly for Helicopters and Quadcopters etc.
It worked after after settings SUB TRIMS to zeros. Thank you so much!
My pleasure, glad it is all OK now :-)
Thanks so much for this buddy I am able to follow along exactly with you and get my radio calibrated. Thing flew so shitty before this. Thanks!

Colin Male
Would this work for a JR transmitter? My throttle stick moves OK but the arrow does not always move in time with the stick.
Thanks.
Found the problem, I had to select model two that didn't have anything setup on that channel. Everything is good Thanks, enjoyed your video
Glad you are sorted out, cheers for the compliment :-)
Thank you so much my friend

I want the right stick up make the plane go down back up left left and right go right can you video a responce please?
Does this calibrate for all models or just the one that is loaded at the time?
Thanks for the vid, a big help.
Topvideos1001 Finally managed to sort it after trying loads of times like you mention in video . . .I just used the black buttons with red arrows each side.. .Great video and have enjoyed other videos of yours
Glad it worked OK and thank you very much for the compliment ;-)
Awesome video love ...how do you put backlights in the DX6i pls
My backlighting is so dim. How did you get your so bright?
Thank you for posting it was very useful.
Glad to help.
Love your videos
You only do the Gyro Switch On/Off *once* after the first procedure? not once after each procedure?
Awesome well presented video!
Brilliantly clear thank you very much.
Thank you Sir.
Thank you very much, I remember when I bought my HK-500GT. I never read the manual for the DX6i. All were on power. I do not know which button I hooked on and the helicopter began to turn in full speed. it made me so scared that I never touch again this helicopter.
This calibration is not in the manual.
omg I never knew this thank you, Mine was out a bit , Should fly so much better now :)) Answer ya phone lol
As for the phone it was my Mother-out-law :-)
Yea I must agree a great video and something a lot off people might not realise.

No idea how you got this information, would you please share?
Oh yeah thanks so much for posting!!
great video, thanks!
Thanks for the great info it worked on mine!
Glad to help, please add on the net anywhere you like.

When I turned on my radio with the two trim switched held as shown,my radio screen just went blank.I did the cal anyways and it still seemed to work.Weird!
Wow mine was way out!! Thanks for the vid!
Anything to help :-)
hi
i did this in my DX6i everything set to zero except the rudder. that is still almost all the way to the left. when i push left, it goes near the middle. when i push right, it hardly moves at all.
Can you help?
thanks
Do you know the settings to fly a E-sky E500?
i'm lost
Can't you just use trim buttons to get the arrows on the centre?
great video, thank you very much for sharing!
+profilefan
My pleasure hope it helps.
Any reason why the bottom left number reads in the 80's on your controller but mine reads in the low 20's?
Where in mins on the video ?
Thanks, great video!
aaw dude your the best,...very important info for me,,lol,,thank you!!!!!!
+Darryl Smith
Thanks mate, I am going to do some more videos very soon when the stuff turns up.
Great video. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the feed back :-)
Just tried this my Aileron and Elevator still dont go to the center>?
Awesome! Thank you so much! :)
Great Video...Thanks!!! :-)
mine did not go to that menu with all the positions set to zero and holding the two switches in.
I'm fixing a bunch of them and this one is not doing anything
I go thru all the setup and the ail is still at the right hand side
When I switch on with the two trims held towards the centre my screen goes dark, no numbers visible? Any ideas?
Whoops, one of the switches wasn't on zero, ok now.
I know this is super old...but we’re your trims neutral?
How did you find out how to do this?
Tells me to need alter the trims
Followed the instructions on your video and the arrows lined up except the ele which is little more than halfway to the left of center. When I move the stick it only moves abit to the right then stops. Any ideas. Thanks for any help.
Mike Gaines Was the ele out before you started the calibration.
Thanks for that great tutorial. It worked out well for my DX6i after replacing one gimbal.
Great news glad to help.
Is the calibration important for quad-copter as well?
Yes very much so, and Helicopters as they are both more sensitive to small errors.
Doesn't work on my early Dx6i - Mine hasn't even got an illuminated screen ?
Does this apply to all saved models in radio or just the one selected? In other words, do we need to repeat 10 times or just one? Thanks, excellent tip by the way.
Tom McCaffrey No it resets all.
Hello sir. It does not work on mine dx6i. I follow the video step by step but the arrows always on the same spot. Quite off centre. Any idea?
Great video but I have a question. I am using this DX6 controller to drive an electric cart I made.I use the aileron control on the right to steer it left and right. I move it to the left and the cart goes to the left.

nice video .thanks..my friend..
juan mendoza My pleasure.
I have followed the calibration procedure all sticks seam to be centred in the monitor screen accept the elevator. can you please help. thank you.
Did you centre all sub trims first ?
Thank you Sir
i followed every step but my helicopter still isnt calibrated,any tips? also how can i add the light feature? and how can i make the controllers move a little slower for the heli to react?
thank you
Make your D/R lower and add EXPO to make your heli LESS responsive.
Is the throttle stick on this TX ratcheted? Thanks
Yes it is :-)
I followed your video 3 times and my THR, AIL and ELE are still off center.. Do I have to put all my settings to factory default before I do it?
No, just make sure the sub trims are at zero.
It worked fine, but I think I have a sticky Aileron pot. I will take the back off ans blow out the pot. and try again. Many thanks
As I suspected. Took the transmitter apart (Plenty of videos on YT for that) Cleaned the potentiometer, re-assembled and then ran through this calibration again. Everything working fine again. Thanks again
