Description
Spektrum DX6 2.4GHz Mode 2


DX6 for ultralight park planes and helicopters

Includes, transmitter - Tx nicad - AR6000 Rx - 4 x S75 servos

Excuse the large description, but Spektrum radios have an awful lot to offer.

No-pegs, no-crystals, no-glitches, no-interference and the security of 2.4GHz Spektrum DSM technology. DX6 is designed for ultralight park planes, foamies and micro helicopters. Six channels, 10 model memory and AR6000 receiver with DualLink™ techology and four S75 servos.

DX6 was developed for sport park fliers to meet their specific requirements. Just as we have differing equipment for cars and planes so there are radios specific to the needs of larger sport flyers whose planes need the capability of more range. DX6 has been designed specifically to deliver the attributes that park fliers need. It’s small, light and affordably priced. For bigger planes Spektrum also have the DX7.

So if you’re flying mini helicopters or any of the arrays of ultralight park type planes available today, DX6 is guaranteed to meet your needs.

Easy as switching on
The whole point of ultralight (park) flyers is that they are easy to assemble, transport, and fly. Add Spectrum's DX6 to this to and the former problems of frequency clashing, interference and waiting for a peg just all disappear. Flying literally becomes turn up, turn on and fly.

Let the technology do the work
After all the radio equipment is installed into the plane the receiver of your DX6 is ‘bound’ to the transmitter, a simple process that takes only a few seconds. Once done the two are linked by a unique identification code that means they can only communicate with each other. No other Spektrum or regular 35, 27 or 40MHz equipment will recognise or interfere with your DX6, and conversely it won’t interfere with anyone else’s equipment.

Programming fail-safe
During the binding process fail-safe positions can also be set. Although small and light it’s really just good safe practice to have fail-safes on a park flyer. You can set any channel you wish, but normally just put the throttle to low position during the binding process. All other channels automatically go to the last commanded position.

DualLink™ for reliability
Aeroplanes are a little more complicated when it comes to retaining a solid RF link to than surface bound craft because they manoeuvre in three dimensions. Surface craft like boats and cars are fixed in one plane so orientation to the receiver’s aerial, while it’s pointing at the sky as it should, remains constant ruling out signal fade, a condition that reduces range. To solve just that problem with aeroplanes Spektrum employs the use of two separate radio channels and receivers, each with its own aerial. The radio transmits the signal on both frequencies simultaneously and because the two aerials have different orientation should one of those signals be lost, for even milliseconds, due to its orientation to the transmitter the other one will still be on-line. The net result is no loss of signal, no interruption, no dropouts, no problems. A solid RF link is there all the time.

In the box
The DX6 transmitter features more than just a state of the art electronic system, it has all of the features desirable in a modern radio system. Silky smooth adjustable transmitter sticks deliver precise feel and control and a lightweight (7 gram) Dual-Link receiver which integrates the unique two-in-one receiver technology for a redundant robust RF link and a range in excess of any of any other dedicated park flyer receiver. Finally the four high-speed, sub-micro ultra lightweight servos are specifically designed for use with all lightweight, electric powered planes, helicopters, and park flyers.

Boats and ‘bots’
The DX6 is ideally suited for both boats and robots as well as ultralight planes and helicopters but remember with boats keep the aerials above the water and for robots use the dedicated ‘bot’ receiver SPM6000BR, which incorporates programmable fail-safes on all channels.
