First question is, Do you have the correct plugs?Maddog said:Can any one tell me why my Spektrum DX 7 and my DX6i will not work with G3.5.
My Futaba T7CHP works fine.
Thanks
Maddog
Second, did you try channel mapping?
Please describe how "it won't work", then you'll be in the ball park.
SPEKTRUM DX7 AND DXi 6 will not work
Some models there is no throttle . the blade models there is throttle but the the heli roll over on its left side right away uncontrollable. have tried to remap but can not see why it should be any different the my Futaba witch works find right out of the box.

You don't have to do all that.
You're probably just in "Heli" mode instead of "Acro" on your radio. Switch to Acro, do the calibration, and then do channel mapping to set everything properly.

ACRO MOde
figured out how to get into ACRO mode but made no difference. Do you not need to be in Heli mode in order to fly the Heli in G3.5. I made no changes to my Futaba T7CHP just pluged it in with the adaptors and it works fine. can not understand why Iam have such trouble with the SPektrums.

Did the radio actually stay in ACRO mode or did it switch back to heli? If you just change it and then cycle power, it'll stay in heli. Make sure you have a little picture of an airplane when you turn on the radio, on the home screen.
Turn off all mixes and what not.
Make sure you go through the channel mapping and calibration. If you don't, nothing will work. Futabas go in this order
1 2 3 4
Ail, Elev, Thr, Rud
JR goes
1 2 3 4
Thr, Elev, Ail, Rud
It's no surprise that the Futaba worked without channel mapping because it's the same sequence as the default radio. The Spektrum will require you to move those things around.

Spektrum DX7& DX6i will not work
Thanks I will try it . If can not get it to work will just use my Futaba. Just got my Trex 500 today and plan to use my DX7 with it . I down loaded two Trex 500CF(the one I bought) and a Trex 500GF from the swap page they seem to fly real well. If I can not get the Specktrum to work like I said before will just practice with my T7CHP.
Thanks

Or you could use the included radio... I never use my normal radios with the sim any more unless I have a problem with *feel* out in the field compared to when I try the same thing on G4. Saves wear/tear on not only gimbals and switches, but batteries as well.

Did you miss the easiest guide to follow, or this guide doesn't work for you?

I finally figured it out

I did get the DX7se to work but only with the Spektrum WL1000 Wireless receiver but thats another topic.
