How to save the trim settings for your double horse 9116 and 9117 (programming the TX dh9116/9117)

Описание: After seeing many complaints about the trim settings not saving when you power off your transmitter, I decided to make a video explaining how to save your settings. This is for the DH9116 and 9117 and any other of the double horse line that use the 2.4GHz tx system.

Yours may greatly vary.. but here are some basic settings to start out with.

SubTrim Elevator = DH9117 76-80 giving it a slightly forward position (the 9116 has better forward flight and only needs somewhere between 0 and 25), Aileron will vary about 20-80 depending on what it will take to get it level. All EPA adjustments to max = 120. I like to keep my rudder at 100% vs the 120%. If needed you can add some modeling clay inside of the canopy by the nose which is a must have on the 9117.


How to BIND THE TX:

The Double Horse 4 channel 9116 helicopter has one of the most advanced digital 2.4ghz remotes on the market. Due to the many adjustable functions and settings on this remote, binding it can sometimes be a bit tricky.

There are two things that will prevent you from successfully binding your 9116 remote. One is timing, and the other is throttle position. Due to the advanced features of this remote there are multiple settings that effect the throttle position.

The first and most common problem is the throttle trim setting that sits vertically adjacent to the throttle stick. Even though the LCD screen indicates that the trim is in the center position, it may not be. This is due to the fact that every bar on the LCD screen indicates 10 position adjustments. In other words, only one bar will appear for every 10 times you adjust the button. This trim MUST be in the center position to properly bind with your helicopter. The only indicator of center position is one long beep as opposed to the short beeps for all other positions.

If this did not help in binding your remote, then some of your settings may have been changed. If this is the case please refer to our Default Settings in Question 1. The menu settings that you will need to pay most attention to are the following:

THRO - SUB - Should be at value: 000
THRO - REV - Should be at value: NOR
THRO - TRI 0 - Should be at value: 000%

If all of your settings are correct and you are still not able to bind you remote to your 9116 helicopter, it may be due to timing. The correct binding sequence is to first turn on your remote control and then to turn on the power switch to the helicopter. Please keep in mind that from the time you turn on the remote, you only have approximately 4 seconds to turn the helicopter switch on. I advise that you do the whole procedure as fast as possible. Please keep in mind as well that because the 9116 has a built in GYRO the helicopter must be flat on a level surface to properly initialize.
