DX6 was developed for sport park fliers to meet their specific
requirements. Just as we have differing equipment for cars and
planes so there are radios specific to the needs of larger sport
flyers whose planes need the capability of more range. DX6 has
been designed specifically to deliver the attributes that park
fliers need. It’s small, light and affordably priced. For
bigger planes we now have DX7.
So if you’re flying mini helicopters or any of the arrays
of ultralight park type planes available today, DX6 is guaranteed
to meet your needs.
The whole point of ultralight (park) flyers is that they
are easy to assemble, transport, and fly. Add Spectrum's
DX6 to this to and the former problems of frequency clashing,
interference and waiting for a peg just all disappear.
Flying literally becomes turn up, turn on and fly.
After all the radio equipment is installed into the plane the
receiver of your DX6 is ‘bound’ to the transmitter,
a simple process that takes only a few seconds. Once done
the two are linked by a unique identification code that means
they can only communicate with each other. No other Spektrum
or regular 35, 27 or 40MHz equipment will recognise or interfere
with your DX6, and conversely it won’t interfere with
anyone else’s equipment.
During the binding process fail-safe positions can also be
set. Although small and light it’s really just good
safe practice to have fail-safes on a park flyer. You can
set any channel you wish, but normally just put the throttle
to low position during the binding process. All other channels
automatically go to the last commanded position.
Aeroplanes are a little more complicated when it comes to retaining
a solid RF link to than surface bound craft because they
manoeuvre in three dimensions. Surface craft like boats and
cars are fixed in one plane so orientation to the receiver’s
aerial, while it’s pointing at the sky as it should,
remains constant ruling out signal fade, a condition that
reduces range. To solve just that problem with aeroplanes
Spektrum employs the use of two separate radio channels and
receivers, each with its own aerial. The radio transmits
the signal on both frequencies simultaneously and because
the two aerials have different orientation should one of
those signals be lost, for even milliseconds, due to its
orientation to the transmitter the other one will still be
on-line. The net result is no loss of signal, no interruption,
no dropouts, no problems. A solid RF link is there all the
time.
The DX6 transmitter features more than just a state of the
art electronic system, it has all of the features desirable
in a modern radio system. Silky smooth adjustable transmitter
sticks deliver precise feel and control and a lightweight
(7 gram) Dual-Link receiver which integrates the unique two-in-one
receiver technology for a redundant robust RF link and a
range in excess of any of any other dedicated park flyer
receiver. Finally the four high-speed, sub-micro ultra lightweight
servos are specifically designed for use with all lightweight,
electric powered planes, helicopters, and park flyers.
The DX6 is ideally suited for both boats and robots as well
as ultralight planes and helicopters but remember with boats
keep the aerials above the water and for robots use the dedicated ‘bot’ receiver
SPM6000BR, which incorporates programmable fail-safes on
all channels.
