Transmitter Setup If you are programming your DXe using the PC or mobile app, make sure the "Transmitter Channels" value is set to the default of 7. If for any reason this value is changed to 9, the Inductrix will bind to the DXe, but will not respond to control inputs. If your DXe was included in another Blade Ready To Fly (RTF) helicopter, the transmitter software will have to be updated using the appropriate programming cable and either the PC or mobile app available at www.spektrumrc.com.
