Spektrum Dx7s

by HalfTimeRC | August 18, 2012 | (8) Posted in Reviews

The Spektrum Dx7s is a remote for literally anyone!

The remote is as standard nowadays 2.4ghz, has 7 channels and a whole host of features. The remote can hold 20 models and has the ability to expand more with the SD card.

The standout  feature of the slick piece of equipment is the programming. Spektrum hit a homerun with this as it is easily targeted at the inexperienced user. Me personally I came from a dynam 27mhz radio with plastic and the worlds supply of batteries. and with about ten minutes of spare time I had the radio down and was using it with my eyes closed. If you are a beginner looking for your first computer radio spend a bit more than the Dx6i and get the 7s. the features are more freindly, easier, an extra channel, 10 more model spaces and telemetry capable.

Look no further as this radio really ticks all the boxes for an inbetween radio, not super expensive and not to cheap and nasty.

If you're thinking about using the transmitter for multirotor flying with one of the newer flight controllers (Naza, APM2, AeroQuad32, etc) be aware that there's only one 3-way switch and one 2-way switch on this transmitter. It's easiest to access all of the functions on these new controllers if you have a few more switches and positions. I have this transmitter and am always wishing I had another 3-way switch.

Hi Guys, I'm pretty new to this RC Hobby , used to be a paraglider pilot but have decided to call it quits flying paragliders as its a risky game. so I've got myself a DX7s a Radion Pro Glider to train on and have recently purchased a Durafly F4U Corsair warbird, Now the Radion pro was easy to set up on the DX7s as I loaded up a file to the SD card that sorted all the values for the Flaps Etc, my problem is the manual for the Durafly F4U Corsair is CRAP to say the least as it only shows how to assemble the plane by pictures , and thats all you get. what I need to know are the rates and values to program into the F4U, for instance FLAP System on the DX7s I have Flap Elev
Norm 0% 0% <
Land 0% 0%

Speed; Norm Sw; Gear What numbers do I put in here?

There is also a menu for mixing, what do I put into the mix for a Warbird? If anyone can help or take the time to talk me through all this programming stuff I will be forever in your debt, or better still can tell me where I can down load a file and down load it to the DX7s ......HELP ! GROUNDED PILOT
