Do you mean it came with it's own PCM RECEIVER? If so, your FF6 may not be
able to transmit on PCM, but then again, it may. You'll need to check the
"para" (parameters) section of the menu and see if there's a PPM/PCM
selection available. The modulation parameter usually appears as
"Modulation" in the menu with the initials PPM, PCM or simply "F" for PPM on
display. You'll need to change to the type you need and then switch the Tx
OFF and then back on again to make the Tx "switch". (Important too, because
without the switching on and off, the only thing that changes is the display
and that's no use at all:-)

If you mean that it DID come with it's own Tx, then and it's not talking to
your already owned receiver, then you'll have to check the Tx you've just
got to see if THAT one has the PCM/PPM selection .

Thanks Beav,

It came complete with its own receiver and "cheapo" PCM transmitter. I
wanted to ditch
the transmitter it came with and use my FF6 instead. The FF6 does indeed
support PCM,
I think the mistake I was making was not turning it on and off after
changing the modulation
type..

I will go and give it a go.. Thanks!

Shaun.

In order for your FF6 to work with Dragonfly, you need to change all the
electronics including main gear on board the helicopter.
