Which RC Helicopter Receiver?
There are as many as 12 channel radio controlled RC helicopters that could not only run 2D but 3D as well. However, a lot of people call 3 channel helicopter a "true" 3D flying machine while they are not really 3D flying. They are close but not there yet. A 3D flying machine must not only flying the the X, Y and Z coordinates but also has to fly XY, YZ or XZ coordinates. By putting X, Y, Z, you can only get a box, in order to get a sphere, you need more coordinates.
A 3 channel helicopter can only do, up, down, left, right, forward and backward. It really depends on the quality of your helicopter, sometimes it is not that easy to control 3 channel because they are less sensitive in terms of X, Y and Z coordinates.
On the other hand, flying a 6 channel helicopter is quieter easier and quite simpler. When we talk about the 12 channel, it is basically having the ability to add X, Y, Z into the XY, YZ, XZs and that makes the double of the coordinates.
The number of channels a transmitter has determines the number of individual things on the aircraft that can be controlled. For example, one channel for throttle, one channel for up / down, one channel for pitching forward / backward, one for banking left / right and another for yaw. This is the case with a helicopter, where 5 channels are required for flight.
6 channels is not seen as enough channels for a nitro Helicopter.
3 cyclic
1 throttle
2 gyro
1 gov
BUT if you are into mild 3D you could go with no governor or you could manually adjust the gyro to save on the cost of a 7 channel setup.

AR6100E Binding Instructions
The AR6100E receiver is designed for parkflyer aircraft only. This includes all types of compact electric airplanes as well as mini and micro helicopters. While the AR6100E receiver has more than adequate range for parkflyer aircraft, it is imperative that it not be used in larger aircraft that could exceed its operational range.
IMPORTANT: The AR6100E features DSM2™ second-generation Spektrum technology and is not compatible with the DX6 parkflyer radio. The AR6100E is only compatible with Spektrum aircraft transmitters that support DSM2 technology, like the DX6i & DX7.
Binding
Before using the AR6100E, it’s necessary to bind the receiver to the desired transmitter (or specific model memory if ModelMatch™ is available).
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the specific transmitter you wish to use. During binding, the receiver learns the specific transmitter’s code (GUID) and, when bound, the receiver will only respond to its bound transmitter, ignoring all other types of interfering signals. During binding the fail-safe positions are stored (see SmartSafe™ below).
Note: Receivers can be re-bound at any time, allowing them to be used with other transmitters or to store different fail-safe positions.
How to Bind
With the power off, plug the bind plug into the BATT port. Power on the receiver. If the receiver is installed in an electric aircraft, turn on the speed controller to power up the receiver. If the receiver is going to be powered by a separate battery, plug the battery into any unused port. The amber light will blink, indicating the AR6100E is in bind mode.
Position the transmitter’s control sticks and switches in the desired fail-safe positions (normally low throttle and all other controls at neutral).
POWER ON
Press and hold the bind button on the transmitter while turning on the transmitter. The button will flash for several seconds, then the LED on the transmitter and receiver will remain solid on, indicating a successful bind.
IMPORTANT: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from rebinding the next time the power is turned on.
ModelMatch
Some Spektrum transmitters offer a patented feature called ModelMatch. ModelMatch prevents the possibility of operating a model using the wrong model memory, potentially preventing a crash. With ModelMatch each model memory has its own unique code (GUID) and during the binding process the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when the system is turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the corresponding model memory is programmed on the screen.
Note: If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to be sure the correct model memory is selected in the transmitter.
SmartSafe
The AR6100E features SmartSafe fail-safe programming. SmartSafe prevents accidental motor operation before the system connects and, in the unlikely event of signal loss, SmartSafe drives the throttle to a preset (off) position. With SmartSafe, if the receiver is turned on before the transmitter, all channels but throttle will go to their fail-safe position stored during binding, while the throttle channel will not generate a pulse so as to not arm the electronic speed control. After the system is connected, if loss of signal occurs, the throttle will be driven to a preset fail-safe position, normally low throttle (set during binding) while all other channels will hold their last known position.
Range Check
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. Follow the procedures as outlined in the radio instruction manual.
Spektrum AR6200 RC Receiver
Manual
TheDSM2 AR6200 incorporates dual receivers, offering the security of dual path RF redundancy. An internal receiver is located on the main PC board, while a second external receiver is attached to the main board with a 6-inch extension. By locating these receivers in slightly different locations in the aircraft, each receiver is exposed to its own RF environment, greatly improving path diversity (the ability for the receiver to see the signal in all conditions).The Spektrum AR6200 DSM2 6-channel receiver is a great solution for all RC Helicopters requiring full range up to six channels. This DuaLink receiver simultaneously gathers information from two receivers that is processed by patent pending Spektrum software that combines it to form the most vivid picture of an RF signal. This dual path redundancy, plus the fact each of the two receivers is located in a slightly different location, exposes each to a different RF environment and creates a bulletproof RF link in all conditions.Key Features6 Channels

Although this receiver is stated as a 'full-range' receiver we recommend if you intend flying further than a range of 1000 feet you use the AR7000.
The AR6200 full range 6-channel receiver features DSM2™ technology and is compatible with all Spektrum™ and JR® aircraft radios that support DSM2 technology including:
JR12X, JRX9303, Spektrum DX7, Spektrum DX6i, Spektrum DX5e, Spektrum Module Systems.
Note: The AR6200 receiver is not compatible with the Spektrum DX6 park flyer transmitter.
Applications
Full Range Up to 6 channel helicopters including:
All types and sizes of glow, gas and electric powered helicopters
Important: Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions
When using a Y-harness or servo extensions in your installation, it’s important to use standard non-amplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions as this can/will cause the servos to operate erratically or not function at all. Amplified Y-harnesses were developed several years ago to boost the signal for some older PCM systems and should not be used with Spektrum equipment. Note that when converting an existing model to Spektrum be certain that all amplified Y-harnesses and/or servo extensions are replaced with conventional non-amplified versions.
Spektrum AR7000 7 Channel 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.
This is the seven channel DSM2 receiver from Spektrum. 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 in RC before.
Features:
7 Channels
External and internal receiver
DuaLink™
Model Match (prevents flying a model using the wrong model memory)
ServoSync (feature does not work with module systems)
SmartSafe fail-safe system

Note: The AR7000 features DSM2 technology and is only compatible with DSM2 transmitters. The AR7000 will not operate with the DX6 or Spektrum® surface systems, and is only compatible with DSM2 radio systems.
