Hi All,
Could someone please HELP me with the setup of my RD600 Spor
Transmitter to function correctly with FMS.? I have tried runnin
through the calibration settings, But i still cant get all functions t
work correctly to get me up of the ground in any sort of stable manner.
my throttle doesnt seem to be setting right even after following th
calibration steps.? I would realy appreciate it if someone could tell m
EXACTLY how to set this up.... What should i set the transmitter to.
What settings should the switches be at before calibration.? I hav
searched through the forum for anything on this isue and found som
info, but I would realy appreciate if someone with experience coul
guide me through the setup so i can start practicing :)

Thanks for any help offered guys..!! :

OK Jim,
I'm using Alpha 8.5 Version but previous ones worked just the same.
1_ Have your Tx ready, connected and "on".
2_ Select from the top line menu "controls", then "analog controls"
3_ From next screen, select PCI interface
4_ From next screen, select COMx (usually COM1) and baud (usual 19200)
5_ Validate and go to mapping/calibrate
6_ On this screen, you select the ch# to funtion, note that you have a
selection for airplanes and helis (move the sticks to find wich chan)
select reverse and exponential(recommended) as needed.
7_ Now go to "calibrate" and move both sticks in circles to establish
your sticks amplitudes (trims centered). After that, press "next" and
set the center positions. Now press "finish", then "validate" and you
will return to the first screen, press "validate" and you are done.

Don't forget that the throttle/pitch stick is normally centered to
enable inverted flying. You will get used to that very fast.

Good luck and if anything is not clear, repost for clarifications.

Thank you for the info. I have the Falcon 40 and I e-mailed tech support
for this type of information. So far, I have not received a reply.

It would be nice when firms put out products, complete documentation would
be included. All I had was the Transmitter and a plug that has a DB 9 pin
plug connected on one end and a 4 pin plug on the other end that goes to the
Transmitter.

I have been using the e_sky simulator FMS: EK2-0905A (www.twf-sz.com) with
FMS Alpha 8.5.

Hopefully, I now can use my Falcon 40 Transmitter. The weight, size and
feel is different between the two transmitters.
