The Spektrum DX6i is a sophisticated radio system designed for both experienced pilots and beginners, offering advanced features that cater to various types of flying, whether it’s fixed-wing planes or rotary helicopters. This 601 wireless transmitter operates on the popular 2.4GHz frequency with full range DSM2 technology, similar to its predecessor, the Spektrum DX7, ensuring reliable and smooth communication between the transmitter and receiver.
One of the standout features of the DX6i is its compatibility with all existing Spektrum aircraft receivers, allowing for easy integration into your current setup without any hassle. This flexibility means that you can easily adapt this system to most models in your collection that require 6-channels or less, making it a versatile choice for pilots who may have a mix of planes and helicopters.
The DX6i comes with the new AR6200 DSM2 6-channel receiver, featuring robust construction suitable for larger models yet compact enough to fit in smaller ones like park flyers. This innovative receiver supports all current Spektrum programming features, providing an impressive list of functions that are user-friendly and straightforward to access.
Some key features include:
1. **Full Range 2.4GHz DSM2 6-channel Radio**: Ensures reliable signal transmission and reception for precise control in both indoor and outdoor flying environments.
2. **10-model Memory (ModelMatch)**: Allows the DX6i to store up to 10 different models, facilitating quick switching between them without complex setup procedures.
3. **ServoSync**: Synchronizes multiple servos on a single channel, enhancing multi-axis control and responsiveness in your flying model.
4. **Roller/Selector User Interface**: Offers an ergonomic interface that’s easy to use, with options for roller or selector input depending on personal preference.
5. **Attractive and Ergonomic Design**: The DX6i has a modern design that is both visually appealing and comfortable in operation, suitable for long flying sessions.
6. **Large LCD Display**: Provides clear visibility of all settings and status indicators, making it easier to monitor your model’s performance while flying.
7. **Proven DSM2 Technology**: Leverages the tried-and-true technology from Spektrum’s past systems for consistent reliability in operation.
8. **Rudder Dual-rate**: Allows for different rates of response depending on whether you are performing tight maneuvers or broader, sweeping actions with your rudder.
9. **Integrated Timer**: Useful for timing engine starts and other important events during flight.
10. **Contrast Adjustment**: Enables customizing the display brightness to suit different lighting conditions or personal preferences.
11. **Dual-speed Trim Scroll**: Offers quick access to trim adjustments at two distinct speeds, allowing for more precise calibration of your model’s controls.
Programming features are extensive and cover both airplane and helicopter applications:
– **Airplane Programming Features**: These include flaps, P-mixes, dual aileron control, V-tail configuration, and delta wing settings, all designed to enhance maneuverability and performance in fixed-wing flying.
– **Helicopter Programming Features**: Gyro adjustments, graphic throttle and pitch curves, P-mixes, Revo mix configurations, and swashplate types (including Normal and CCPM 120) provide advanced control options for rotary aircraft enthusiasts.
Additionally, the DX6i supports adjustable stick lengths and direct trim access on the display screen, along with a servo monitor that shows you real-time data about your servos’ performance. The Dual rate and exponential functions are also included to further fine-tune throttle response according to different flight scenarios.
In summary, the Spektrum DX6i is an excellent choice for any pilot looking to upgrade their radio system with cutting-edge technology that offers a high level of control and ease of use. Its compatibility with existing DSM and DSM2 systems ensures seamless integration into your current collection, while its robust receiver makes it suitable for larger models. The comprehensive set of programming features caters to the diverse needs of fixed-wing and rotary aircraft pilots alike, making the DX6i a must-have tool in any serious model aviation setup.
