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.
