Blade mCPX V1/V2/BL - 3D Settings was created by Tom Z
This model is for the Blade mCPX V1/V2 and mCPX BL.

  • Throttle hold on the RUDD D/R switch.
  • 7 Point Throttle and Pitch Curves.
  • TX Power=100mW
  • Channels=7
  • Protocol=DSMX
  • No Fixed ID
  • Stick Mode 2
  • If you need Stick Mode 1, 3, or 4 load the model into your transmitter then change the Stick Mode in the transmitter settings.


    Model 34 is for deviation firmware v4 and the DEVO 6/6S/8/8S/10/12/12S.

    * This model will not work for deviation firmware v2.1 or v3.

    Model 34-2 has Zero Degree Pitch when throttle hold is on.
    This will help minimize damage in a crash as the swash and blades will be at mid stick zero degrees pitch.
    This will also help prevent a boom strike.
    The swash does not move when TH is on.
    If you want control of the swash in TH to help you land in a crash don’t use this model use Model 34 instead.


Throttle Curve - These are the values I used then converted them to the deviation values and 7 point curves.

Normal: 0% 40% 60% 80% 100%

ST-1: 100% 90% 80% 90% 100%

ST-2: 100% Flat Across

Throttle Hold is active on RUDD D/R switch



Pitch Curve

Normal: -3* negative pitch. Zero degrees pitch at mid stick.

ST-1: Full +/- 3D pitch curve. Zero degrees pitch at mid stick.

ST-2: Full +/- 3D pitch curve. Zero degrees pitch at mid stick.



DR/EXPO

Adjust D/R and EXPO to your personal preference.


Switch Position

0- ELEV D/R = 100% EXP +30%

0- AILE D/R = 100% EXP +30%

RUDD D/R = 100% EXP -6%



Switch Position

1- ELEV D/R = 125% EXP LIN

1- AILE D/R = 125% EXP LIN

RUDD D/R = 100% EXP -6%




Download the Configuration Settings File.

Right click the "model.ini " and select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" depending if you are using IE or Firefox.

Install the configuration settings file into your models folder (See my How to video below).

This will over-right the current file so make sure that model slot doesn’t
have a model being used in it. If it does rename the configuration settings file
to another number that you have free.

Example: The file you downloaded is named model5 so change the “5" to another slot
number that you don’t have a model setup for. If you have model slot 6 open rename the file to model6

I forgot to add my custom GUI. I just added it and re-uploaded the models.
If you downloaded the file before I posted this you should download the model again as that model will use the default GUI on your transmitter and not my custom GUI which works on all the transmitters, has all the switch icons assigned to them, and has a custom layout for your home screen.

I just got an MCPX from a buddy, so Im new to this whole thing. Could you explain what the switches do? I cant figure out what the GEAR switch does. I think I have all the other figured out though.

The switch functions vary depending on what you program them to.
For this model I didn't assign anything to the Gear switch or MIX switch.

I am not sure what you are asking.
If your asking how to set the gyro gain there is no need to.
Gyro gain on the mCPX is preset in the Flybarless 3n1 Control Unit.
This is why I don' have any gyro gain set or listed in my description.
I hear there is a way to adjust the gyro gain if you wanted to but I can't confirm this.

I can confirm the tail gyro gain is adjustable on the BL on channel 5. The adjustment range isn't large, but is noticeable. I use a value of 40 and it does reduce the tail wag on mine, at least for just flying around. Not doing 3D yet.

Thanks hexfet.

That means if someone wanted to adjust the gyro gain with my model they would need to assign a mixer and value to channel 5.

Channel 5 is set to Mixer = None
This is due to the gyro on the mCPX is preset in the Flybarless 3n1 Control Unit.






Here is one way to add an adjustable gyro gain. Scale is the gyro gain amount.
This is using your value of 40 converted to the deviation value.

Thank you for your response.
I'll try.
Switch may be more value as well?
For example, three-position switch mix?
Mix0 = +20
Mix1 = 0
Mix2 = -20

Your welcome.
A three-position switch mix would work well.

I am assuming hexfet used a Spektrum value of 40. If it was a Deviation value of 40 then use 40 instead of -20.

Mix0 = +40
Mix1 = 0
Mix2 = -40

Try different values and test fly it to find out what works best for you.

Here is my Tutorial on Converting deVention values to deviation values.

My 40 is a deviation value. From my understanding of Horizon Hobby's note this is higher gain than default. The default gain is the same as a 0 channel value (middle of the range). On deviation values less than zero will give less gain than the factory default.

I recently acquired an mcpx BL and have been using Tom Z's 3d file with my 8s and it works fantastic. Setup my gyro on gear channel as recommended and setp a value of 40 as stated and my wag is gone tail still holds great on hard pitch changes. I was getting some tail bounce when going neutral on the collective coming out of an intense stunt. Now the tail holds stead. Thanks , just wanted to document this and express my gratitude.
