Of course, you can't become good with inverted flying until you master simple techniques like the funnel. This is a habit that will pay dividends when you buy your own RC helicopter and take it to your local flying field. Only engage it (flip the switch UP) when you are well into the air. Tip: Keep the F Mode OFF while taking off and landing. The variable pitch of the blades is set for the helicopter to fly upside down. The flier has the model in Stunt Mode ( F Mode switch is UP). Also note that the throttle stick is all the way down (closest to you). Note the orientation of the heli (upside down). I included a video to the right hand side. On older radios like the DX7s and Generation 1 DX8, the menu to assign these switches is in the System Setup, called Switch Select on the newer models like the DX6, DX8 Gen2, DX9 etc.

If you aren't sure how to program the DX6i for Phoenix Flight Sim, then check out this article that will give you step by step instructions. Channel 6 named Aux1 needs to be assigned to the switch you want to use for RPM 1-3. As you move it up and away from you, the speed increases which lifts the helicopter up. In Normal mode (switch in the DOWN position), when the collective is closest to you, the speed of the rotor slows down until it stops altogether. The short answer is: It doesn't! All the programming for inverted flight is done in the transmitter, not the simulator.Īll that switch does is change the Pitch and Throttle curves in the transmitter itself. Many people get confused on how this switch interacts with Phoenix. The Flight Mode (or F-Mode) switch on the transmitter is the secret to inverted flying. Pull the throttle all the way back and the pitch changes to exert upward pressure which forces the helicopter down into the ground - UNLESS you happen to have the helicopter upside down! Flight Mode (F-Mode) Push the throttle all the way up and the blades will pitch to exert downward forces which push the helicopter up into the air. Did you know that the pitch of the blades of these stunt (or 3D) helicopters are variable? That's right! They change based on the input from the transmitter.
