Dave M Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hello, I wonder if anyone could answer a question for me. Can the Spektrum DX7, be used in training mode (Buddy Box) linked to my current transmitter, a grupner MX12 (same as a JR 2610), either as master or slave. I think it should be possible to mix 35 Mhz with 2.4 Ghz transmitters for training as the Master dictates the frequency flown, ,or am I completly wrong? Also, can the transmitter be used in mode 1, (Throttle left)I have e mailed Helger a couple of times but they don't answer!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 firstly. I use a 35Mhz JR set as a trainee coupled to my Spektrum. As long as your graupnerset has the 3.5mm mono jack socket as its training function connection, then you are fine.Mode. Now this is one of the oddities of the DX7, you MUST spoecify which mode you fly at time of purchase, as the tr cannot be switched internally as most can.NOTE !! you are incorrect in your modes...Mode 1 is throttle RIGHT !! with aileron, and Rudder /Elevator on left stick.

Dave M Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Timbo, thanks for your reply, your right about the mode, I meant throttle/aileron on the right, it was a typing error. I am learrning with mode 1 as that is what my instructor flys, I am based in Germany and it is the common mode at my club.The training socket on my transmitter is a D.S.C./trainer jack. (DSC stands for direct servo control) Whether this is a mono jack socket, I don't have a clue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 just try the standard JR mono jack plug type traiuner lead...it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks again, I think I will go this way and try it.I just got back from flying, and was completly rubbish today for some reason, lack of ability I suppose. Still we all learn at different rates, so must have to put up with the bad days!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hey we ALL get days like those..I have been RC flying for 25years almost, and still think that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dearden Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Now I'm confused about Mode1 and Mode2! One of you says Mode1 is Throttle/elevator on the right stick and aileron/rudder??? on the left?I always thought that Mode1 was just the "left hand" version of Mode2 which, I believe, is Throttle/rudder on left stick and ailerons/elevator on the right stick - which is how I have flown for decades. Am I sort of half way between the two??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I cant see where either of us suggests that mode 1 is throttle / elevator on the right....besides this would be almost impossible to achieve !!THIS IS THE GOSPEL ( in the UK anyway )MODE 1 - THROTTLE AND AILERON ON THE RIGHT - ELEVATOR AND RUDDER ON THE LEFTMODE 2 -AILERON AND ELEVATOR ON THE RIGHT -RUDDER AND THROTTLE ON THE LEFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
