If you've ever managed a music library on your PC or smart phone, you can program the DXe. All you need is the free Spektrum programming app. Using this interface you can create and save basic model setups with different settings for: -Servo Reversing -Stick Configuration: Modes 1-4 -Wing Type: Normal or Delta/Elevon -Expo: On or Off -Trainer Modes. For advanced programming features such as stick configuration, wing type selection, expo on/off function, model setup import and many more, the Spektrum programming cable (SPMA3081-Mobile) is required. Basic programming features such as servo reversing and trim adjust can be used without the programming cable. Once saved to your mobile device, you can upload the setup for a specific model to the DXe with a simple point and click. You can also use the interface to upload pre-programmed setups for Bind-N-Fly® aircraft. Note that the application currently supports only fixed-wing aircraft.
