| Overview With
the DX7 you’ll be able to fly anything from micro electric helis,
to big gas-powered IMAC planes without regard to frequencies and free
from fear of interference. Calling this kind of thing “revolutionary”
just doesn’t cut it. It is nothing less than a quantum leap in RC
technology that will change how you fly forever. Never again will the
availability of a frequency pin dictate when you can take off. Never again
will you have to ask, “What channel are you on?” Never again
will your flying experience be interrupted by model-generated RF noise,
interference from commercial broadcast towers, or anyone on another RC
system.
The big difference with DSM2 is that it not only flies any size model
with absolute precision and complete freedom from interference, but it
also processes its signal faster than any high-end 36MHz PCM system.
DSM2—Security and Speed:
Unlike most first-of-its-kind innovations, DSM2™ is not an unproven
concept. It is based on the same Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM (Digital Spectrum
Modulation) that RC car racers, as well as micro electric and park flyer
modelers, have been enjoying for at least two years. Like DSM, DSM2 provides
an impenetrable radio link that’s immune to every known type of
RC interference. Because it operates at 1024-bit resolution, it provides
the kind of locked-in response that will have pilots feeling more connected
to their models than ever before.
AR7000—Spectacular Signal Clarity:
The AR7000 dual receiver that comes with the DX7 is key to the system’s
incredibly robust RF link. Comprised of a compact main receiver that is
linked to an even smaller satellite receiver by a 6” lead, the AR7000
acts as a pair of extremely sharp RF “eyes” that each take
in a slightly different view of the signal environment. Information from
both receivers is then processed by patent-pending Spektrum software that
takes information from each receiver and combines it to form the most
vivid “picture” of an RF signal than has ever been possible
before. What’s more, there are no long antennas to accommodate.
The AR7000’s short 3” antennas don’t require any external
exposure, so installation is an absolute breeze.
ServoSync and ModelMatch—Extra Safety
and Precision:
DSM2 and the AR7000 aren’t the DX7’s only marvels.Spektrum
engineers have come up with two more patent-pending innovations that you’ll
wonder how you ever lived without— ModelMatch™ and ServoSync™.
ServoSync is an ingenious new feature that actually resequences the bits
of data the DX7 transmits based on the type of mixing you select. So,
if you have a dual elevator on your big Extra or a 3-servo CCPM setup
on your heli, ServoSync will see to it that those servos working together
receive their impulses together. The result is more synchronized servo
movement that translates into an undeniable, locked-in feel when you fly.
ModelMatch puts an end to the “wrong model” syndrome. Almost
everyone who flies RC has at one time or another crashed because he neglected
to verify the model name on the transmitter display in his preflight check.
A unique code is embedded in the DX7’s signal so that, if the wrong
model’s name is on the screen, the model’s controls simply
won’t respond.
AR6000-Compatible:
DX6 owners and anyone else who flies small electric models will be pleased
to know that the AR6000 receiver works perfectly with DX7 too. In fact,
the AR6000 will actually benefit from the DX7’s signal speed advantages,
as well as ModelMatch and ServoSync. So whatever the aircraft, be it a
.60-size heli or a 15-ounce foamie, it can fly with the DX7.

Detailed Information
THE TRANSMITTER:
The DX7 DSM2 transmitter features airplane and heli software, 20-model
memory and all the programming functions you would ever need for anything
requiring 7 channels. And the large dot matrix, LCD screen makes accessing
and using the software simple and straightforward.
THE SERVOS:
The four DS821 servos that come with the DX7 put out an impressive 72
oz/in of torque that is suitable for a wide range of
electric, gas or glow aircraft. Their digitally precise output is further
enhanced by a robust, high-tech resin gear train that is exceptionally
durable for reliable performance flight after flight.
THE AR7000 RECEIVER:
The AR7000 Dual Receiver is capable of providing outstanding signal reception
beyond visual range, so you can rest assured you have locked-in, precise
control no matter how fast you fly.
3-Position Flap Mixing:
The DX7 incorporates a three-position flap system that allows the flap
and elevator positions to be preset in all three switch positions. An
auto function automatically retracts the flaps when the throttle is raised
above a preset point such as during an aborted landing or touch-and-go.
Switch Assignment:
The DX7 offers switch assignment that lets you conveniently combine dual
rates on one of many switches or program them to be activated separately.
Single Screen Dual Rate/Exponential:
Punch in dual rate and exponential values in the same screen for aileron
elevator and rudder and see the result clearly and graphically depicted
on the displayed curve.
5-Point Heli Throttle and Pitch Curves:
Four flight modes (normal, stunt 1, stunt 2 and hold) are available, each
with its own five point throttle and pitch curve. Graphical depiction
of the curves makes adjustments clear and easy to understand.
Servo Monitor:
Keep real time tabs on each channel’s control position, direction
of movement and mixing relationship with this all-in-one servo monitor
that can help you visualize
mixes before flying.
CCPM Mixing:
The DX7 supports mechanical mix helis as well as 3 types of CCPM mixing,
including 2 servo 90°, 3 servo 90° and the most common 3 servo
120°. Swashplate aileron, elevator and pitch values are independently
adjustable, making precise setup easy.
Gyro Sensing:
The gyro function allows two gyro gain presets that can be automatically
accessed via flight modes or with the
rudder dual rate switch.
