Title: Spektrum self centering
Post by: Klunk on July 15, 2017, 07:07:57 pm

Anyone know if the dx6i (old version) and a dx7eu (old version) use the same mechanism for self centering sticks???

Funny I just started to look for the same tropic for my DX7 on Friday and I just acquired a DX6i with the kit installed.
 
If nobody else have any input I'll be taking both of mine apart (DX6i and DX7) and provide the input one of the days.

I think they're all similar as in the parts are there but just require readjustment
The upper two of the screws in this picture need adjusting so they match those on the rudder control stick

Likewise the bottom screws on those straps need adjustment to match each other i.e. So they match the rudder stick

Also in the manual it describes a pair of travel limit or blocker bars on the throttle stick, these should be removed.
Mine is a DX6 but fairly certain they're the same

Beware though if you ever plan to use it for a yacht it will be useless for the sail servo as I've just discovered the hard way  {:-{
