I just received some interesting information that a German roboteer has tested and it works.

Apparently there are 2 ways of binding and programming an AR7000. One is useless for robots because it would only failsafe the throttle channel in a pre-programmed position, but the second (not documented) way will set a preset position for all channels, just like the BR6000.

If you plug in the bind plug, power up the tx and then take the bind plug off(!) while turned on, it will set itself for accepting programming on all channels.

Then set your DX6i or DX7 sticks, switches and trims in the right postition and switch on the transmitter in bind mode (either the button on the back or the trainer switch). Once the AR7000 starts blinking all the settings are saved and the bind process is accomplished. Turn of the RX and TX and test your settings.

I have not tested this process myself since I have no AR7000 but the source is very reliable.
