Neil67 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thought I would try a glider. Acquired Phoenix 2000. Any advice on throws and mixes welcomed. Using Spectrum DX6 transmitter with flaps and ailerons on y leads. Advised mix required for rudder/aileron, elevator/flaps. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil The most important thing is that you need to ditch the y-lead on the ailerons - it prevents you from varying differential, using the ailerons in combination with flaps for TE control and crow braking. Once you’ve done that get the manual out and learn the glider programming for your set, in particular varying aileron diff (ideally by flight mode if your set can do them) and setting up crow braking. I have flown a few 2000s and they fly well with the stock settings, but definitely benefit from a true full house setup, though obviously not as much as a higher performance machine. Time to get that TX manual out (sorry I fly Frsky so can’t help with actual setup help)! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I would just fly it first Neil, learn a bit about it, then you've info to make tweaks. Then ask again for specific advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Gaskin 1 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I have used the setup on the Horizon Hobby website for their Radian pro. Simply copied into my DX7 to give pleasing soaring results. It describes all of the mixes, complete with values, to add variable camber and crow-braking, complete with elevator compensation.
