Installation tips on using the PC program for the 6 Channel 2.4Ghz Tx that comes with the Blueray RTF heli.  This low cost but very configurable Transmitter system is also usable on fixed wing as well as surface RC devices. Additional Recievers are very inexpensive ($15)

A few tips:
  1. Follow the video to install the driver and run it for the first time.
  2. Make sure it's communicating and click GETUSER BEFORE you make any changes.
  3. Save your settings to a default file so you can come back to it.
  4. Do not keep saving the same file name, you want to be able to revert back to a previous file if you mess something up. Name them incrementally Blueray1, Blueray2, etc.
  5. My default file is particular to MY helicopter, Your Endpoints and Subtrims are likely to be different.
Suggestions for changes over the defaults:

  1. Change the Endpoint values for Ch4 to -60 and + 60. This will turn down the Piro rate of the Tail.
  2. Change the Swash AFR for Ch6 (Pitch) to -60 to reduce total pitch range to +/-9. Check and set this with a pitch gauge.
  3. Change Endpoint adjust for Ch5 (Gyro Gain) to 80 initially so you don't get so much gain you get a bad tail wag. Gyro should hold pretty well w/ a max gain of 80 initially. 

Voltage levels (tested by someone else) of the LED power indicator
 LED steady green : SupplyVoltage > 10.8 Volt
 LED steady orange: 9.4 Volt < SupplyVoltage < 10.4 Volt
 LED steady red : SupplyVoltage < 9.1 Volt
It is ok to run NiMh batteries into the orange category but once it gets down to the red you should replace IMMEDIATLY!

NOTE: Here is the latest USB device driver: Install this if you have Vista instead of the one on the Install CD Files below:

T6config Install CD Files (Right click Save As)
Default T6config file for Blueray 450 PE/SE (Right click Save As) You may also use this in a generic CCPM helicopter***
Defaults (Blueray) in Text format (to manually enter)
Genesis/Legend T6Config file (Right click Save As)

*** When using the default Blueray setup in another helicopter OTHER than a Blueray 450 (such as a Trex 450, EXI 450) you will possibly need to reverse servos and/or Swash AFR values SEE THIS LINK FOR BASIC CCPM SETUP PROCEDURE.

Note about the Antennas:
Some of the newer version RX's are comming with longer antennas. This allows you to locate the antenna further away from the body of the Rx or Satellite Rx.  DO NOT SHORTEN the wires by cutting them. The last 2.5-3 inches of the wire is the actual active part of the antenna and the rest is a sheilded cable. If you cut the wires short, the antenna will not work properly and drastically reduce your range!!!!

Note about the Gyro Gain: It uses mixing to make VR(B) dial operate the gyro gain.  One way is HH mode (usually left) The other way is Rate Mode (usually right).  Do a Gyro Bench test to make sure Gyro is operating correctly.
