DJI Naza 3 Flight Modes (Attitude, Manual, and GPS) w/ Turnigy 9X Transmitter and 3 Position Switch

[@gwhite131]

Dennis, After a bad crash that bent a the metal rod that goes down the middle, losing a camera, a prop flying off ( which caused it obviously 'myfault') and losing a $40 camera. I rebuilt it with some spare parts. I decided to do a fail safe while losing TX signal and along with installing a new (to me) RX (X8R) and your videos she is back in the air with more confidence than before. Thank you again for all the great tutorials that you have provided this hobby! Extremely invaluable! Remy

[@dennisbaldwin]

Thanks so much for the good words and sharing your experience. The thing I love about DIY builds is what we learn when we crash and how to get back up in the air again. Most Phantom owners are unable to say the same. Good luck with your rebuild and hope all goes well with it!

[@zjm89]

Dennis I just wanted to say thanks for the direct help and indirect help from your videos. Just had my first FPV flight and it was incredible! Your videos answered so many questions and you replied to my comments. Super stoked about this hobby now. Highly considering the QAV platforms now, they look incredible. Thanks, Zach

[@dennisbaldwin]

Spencer, thanks for the feedback and glad to hear you have a Turnigy 9X on order. I've really enjoyed it after upgrading from my Spektrum transmitter. I would definitely recommend starting with the F450 and then upgrading to the TBS Discovery. The F450 flies much better for acrobatic maneuvers and then Discovery is designed more for stable FPV flight. You'll notice a difference in their flight characteristics because of the arm/motor positioning. Good luck with your setup!

[@s0vrn]

dude your video has saved my butt; i use a radiolink at9, and had my control modes bound to a very sensitive slider on the back, with failsafe mode taking up most of its range - I managed to figure out how to bind the channel to a 3-pos switch, but now I can actually get the switch to point to the right control modes, because of similar software in my tx. thank you so much, now i can finally calibrate my compass!

[@dennisbaldwin]

Thanks for the feedback. A friend just purchased a Radiolink and I got to play around with it. I was quite surprised with the quality and ease of use.

[@dennisbaldwin]

No problem and thanks for the feedback. Yeah the pitch curve flattening is probably one of the #1 problems people run into when setting up this config. It definitely was a problem for me until I figured out what was going on. Glad you got it working.

[@didge110]

Excellent demo and explanation Dennis, I've had a young fella set mine up for me and it all seemed like Black Magic until I saw your video - many thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

So glad to hear it and thank you for the kind words.

[@frankvanbeek24]

stumbled on this for a long time till i found YOUR video dennis... thanks a million..

[@dennisbaldwin]

Michael, thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear you're having problems. The interesting thing about this setup is that I don't have ch6 assigned to anything in the Turnigy 9X Aux menu. I know that sounds absurd and to be honest I don't know why it works that way :) Let me ask you this...are you using a fresh profile on your 9X or did you modify an existing one? I'll be glad to help you get this resolved as I'm still trying to understand all the different features of the 9X.

[@FloridaWeddingFilms]

Hi Dennis, Thank you for giving the demos, I am presently learning the ins and outs of multirotors and have finally decided on using a NAZA M with GPS with my hex camera copter (under construction). Presently using a 450 quad with KK2 with Turnigy 9x learning to fly multirotors (RC pilot from 1970s). Orientation is my biggest problem. Once I master the basics including FPV I'll move on to the Hex. with a Canon T2i video.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Great to hear it, Michael. IOC sounds similar to APM's simple flight mode, which is a very useful feature. Good luck with your setup and glad to know that the 3 way switch is working for you.

[@dennisbaldwin]

I hear you loud and clear. I chose the T9X because it was cheap and there were a lot of pilots using them online, but I'm really leaning towards a Taranis or Futaba TX next. I really like the design of the Futaba transmitters. Congrats on your purchase!

[@dennisbaldwin]

Yes, that's the key and definitely make sure to set all points on the curve as the same value. This will give you a flat line and make sure the PWM is static for each switch mode.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Frank, thank you for the feedback and I'm glad this helped. I did a bunch of stumbling as well before I figured out how to get this to work. Take care.

[@dennisbaldwin]

You're most definitely welcome. I appreciate your feedback. I've yet to fly a hexacopter but definitely plan on doing so this year. How do you like the KK2? I was thinking about getting one (I used to have a KK from HobbyKing) just for acrobatic flight. When I switched to Naza and APM it was almost like all the challenge had been taken out of flying, which is good if you're doing FPV. Do you have a remote video start/stop for the T2i or do you start filming on the ground and stop when you land?

[@dennisbaldwin]

To configure different flight modes you'll need to set it up with your NAZA connected to the computer and your transmitter binded to your NAZA. After you do this once you shouldn't need to do it again. DJI released a new iPhone app that allows you to do some configuration of the NAZA over bluetooth, but I'm not sure if you can setup flight modes with it.

[@aymanfatani]

I just bought Flysky th-x9 its as same as Turnigy transmitter, I followed your vid and everything worked just great, Thanks a bunch lad

[@dennisbaldwin]

ayman fatani Ah cool to hear that. I've never used that version before but glad to hear it worked!

[@dennisbaldwin]

Thank you for the feedback. Can you tell me if you're flying in ACRO or HELI mode? I recently switched to ACRO mode and I believe some of this is different so I plan on doing a video. But I wanted to understand your mode before I try to help you out.

[@mgg942]

Nice clear video, Dennis. An elegant approach. But... I can't get it work. Probably done something wrong. I have Turnigy 9x with V2 software, and GPS connected. I made sure that U of the Naza is plugged into ch 6 of the Turnigy receiver, but I can' get the pointer under GPS/Fail-safe etc in Naza assistant to move when adjusting the pitch curve. One question - what do you have ch 6 assigned to on the Turnigy? The options that I'm offered are: NULL, THRO HOLD, GEAR, PIT TRIM,HOV THRO, HOV PIT,

[@dennisbaldwin]

Good to know. I like the concept of flicking up to send your quad back home. But let me ask this. Does that mean you have to start with your TX in the failsafe position when you power up? I ask because my T9X beeps at me unless I power up with my sticks in their proper positions.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Do you have your TX setup for Heli mode? That's the first thing I would check to make sure you can do this setup. From what I've read the FlySky TX runs identical firmware as the Turnigy 9X.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Dave, thanks for the feedback and glad to hear your Naza is coming soon. Did you get the V1 or V2?

[@dennisbaldwin]

No problem. I've actually wanted to try acro mode just to see if I get more responsive handling, but I noticed there were several options missing from the menu, which wouldn't let me do the different flight modes. Anyway, good luck with the configuration.

[@dennisbaldwin]

I hear you Steve. Unfortunately when it comes to servo reversing and setting endpoints this varies from system to system. I would make sure you know the process of setting things up and then dialing in your settings. You should be able to watch your sliders adjust as you change endpoints. Then just settle on something that gets you in the right segment (GPS Atti, Manual, Failsafe, etc). I hope that makes sense.

[@dennisbaldwin]

No. If you want to use your gear channel then that would be necessary but for just the 3 position switch you don't need to. I recently posted a video of 6 flight modes using both the 3 position switch and the gear switch in combo.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Make sure you calibrate the GPS properly. I have a video that shows how to do that. As for RTH I recommend setting up a switch on your TX to trigger Failsafe mode. You'll know that you're in Failsafe mode when the slider in the assistant lights up blue on Failsafe. And then when you switch to Failsafe when your quad is on the ground you'll see a different LED. Also, make sure you have 6 or more satellites before you arm your NAZA so it can come back home to a precise location.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Lawrence, which NAZA are you purchasing? There's the NAZA Lite, V1, and V2 versions.

[@MARCESWORLD1]

Great video Denise,one question when your setting the three way switch do you leave Aux-ch 6 at Null position. Becuase i cant get the bar to move naza computer setting. I try to move the pitch but nothing

[@dennisbaldwin]

Sure Joe, but what do you mean there's a 3 way switch on the other side? Are you talking about the TX that came with your Naza setup? If so, what type is it?

[@mgg942]

Thank you for your kind offer, Dennis. I had modified an existing set up. What I plan to do now is to create a new profile based on your earlier video(s). I'll let you know how I get on.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Yeah I do. I guess that's what I initially started out doing and have never tried plane mode. We should compare notes sometime! I'll try plane mode in the next day or two and see if I can notice any differences. Hope the 9X is working out for you. What is the range on the UHF version?

[@dennisbaldwin]

The way you're going on and on about the 9XR sure makes me want to pull the trigger :) I definitely see one in my future. Failsafe is generally receiver dependent. What module are you flying with? I know the FrSky has it built in...but not sure if they have a 9XR module. Will check.

[@dennisbaldwin]

I believe this quad comes with the DEVO7 transmitter, which means it should be possible with your X350. I personally haven't done this, but from what I read it sounds like it's possible.

[@JoeRendaRealty]

Hello Dennis. This video was a huge help. I have the DJ I naza lite and a F550 kit with the Turnigy 9x radio. I could not figure out how to configure my three-way switch and then the failsafe with the other gear switch. After watching both of your videos I now have that done.

[@dennisbaldwin]

What I normally recommend when things are acting in an unexpected way is to start a new model profile and work through these settings. A quick check is to make sure you're not set in Mode 1, which would make your throttle stick on the right where your elevator stick is...assuming you are used to Mode 2 transmitter configs.

[@middleagedmtber2164]

Hi dennis, I have just bought a second hand tricopter-it flies great but I was going to put a gps on it .thing is there are 2 gps from naza out there .what one would you buy if you where looking to add one.thankyou.

[@2007crf450r]

thanks dennis for your great video's saved me a lot of headache and aggravation, big thumbs up

[@spencerwilliamsnet]

Dennis, Thanks for posting this. Believe it or not, I also live in Austin and have a Flamewheel 450 in house and a turnigy 9x on order along with some different motors. I think I am going to build the 450 and then upgrade to the Disco frame. Again, thanks for posting! Spencer

[@dennisbaldwin]

Sorry, do you mind elaborating a bit more? This video shows how to setup three different modes using the heli config on the Turnigy 9X. Are you asking if it's possible to do more?

[@rainmaker420]

Hi Dennis, did you have to adjust any mixes to achieve this? My Turnigy 9x does not bind the AUX3 (3 channel switch) to any channel it looks like you have to mix it with a knob.

[@MrDhonext]

Thanks Dennis.. My turnigy 9x has the original firmware + frsky module and receiver.. I successfully flown it in manual mode but i haven't tried GPS and RTH yet. Do you have any recommendation on how to test the GPS mode without flying? Cheers

[@mgg942]

Dennis, Naza Assistant nominates X1 & X2 as Sticks Monitors on the TX MONITOR page, and X3 as "Current voltage" on the VOLTAGE MONITOR page. Mike.

[@dennisbaldwin]

That's interesting to hear. I haven't wired up my gimbal or remote gains in conjunction with the 3 way switch so it sounds like there may be a conflict. Do you have X1 and X2 setup for remote gains or are you using X1 for gimbal pitch control? For X3 I have that wired to my VU so that doesn't factor into the equation here.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Right, and if you look at page 38 in the Naza User Manual this is the breakdown: X1:  For gimbal pitch control or for gain tuning X2: For D-Bus (S-Bus compatible) or for gain tuning or for IOC switch X3:  For voltage monitor (Connect with VU V-SEN port) I was just curious what you were using X1 and X2 for since they can be multi-purpose. Not sure how to overcome the problem you described just yet....other than opting not to use X1 and X2 while you get this set up.

[@LaoRv]

Hello. I've tried to configure U channel to switch fly modes using 3-position switch, but have faced an issue, that the value transmitted to NAZA is never low enough to reach the GPS section and highlight it as blue. So, the transmitted values are in a range from -336 to 1000. I've set sub-trim to -120 and e.point to 120%, tried to reverse signal but it is always not lower than -336. So, I'm able to configure switching between Atti, FailSafe and Manual modes only. What could be the issue? I have standard TX (as you have) and 9x8c v2 2.4GHz full range receiver together with NAZA-M V2 + GPS.

[@dannics74]

Do you have a video of your inital setup?? Or can you just jot down the setting for it? IE what mode and setup you are flying in and your connections?

[@kenmorriss8471]

Hi Dennis, I'm having trouble in setting up my 9X with the Naza M Lite. On the Naza site it tells you to use an aero as base model, but there are no pitch curves on the aero and every time I use the heli model, it necer saves it. Have you any suggestions please?? Also I have the Qbrain 4 ESC and does this work with the Naza do you know??? Sorry so many questions, but I'm fed up of pulling my hair out and shouting at the pc!!!! Cheers Ken

[@dennisbaldwin]

If your budget can afford it go with the NAZA V2. There is only one GPS that works with the V2. If you're on a tight budget then go with the NAZA Lite. The NAZA V1 has been discontinued, but I'm not sure what that means and if they'll continue to support it. I fly with the NAZA V1 and if I were in the market I could go V2.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Hmmm. Not 100% sure what's going on, but can you tell me what flight mode you're configured for? My quads are setup for Heli mode and I've noticed that based on which mode you configure (Plane, Heli, Acro) will dictate what you see in your settings. If that doesn't help then let me know and I'll see what else I can come up with.

[@dennisbaldwin]

What modes are you trying to program?

[@eastcoastjersey]

Hey dennis when i have channel 5 hooked up to U.. I try changing the percenteges like you show here but the slider does not move at all. the only way i could get it to move is if i set it to the gear switch but thats only 2, and when i set end points it only goes so far. Scratching head ? lol

[@LEWYGEE001]

Hi Dennis! Awesome video. I see you use heli mode but when I use this the u port in control by the throttle??? How do i get this to work? Please help i am so stuck with this matter. I have the turngy 9x and naza m v2. People have said use plane mode but then i dont know how to setup the 3position in plane mode

[@dennisbaldwin]

Hi, good question. Let me work on a video this week that details how to do this. I've run into a lot of confusion about this and there are several others that are having problems as well. Hopefully I can get a video together that will clarify this. Thanks for asking and following my channel.

[@GregSpence]

Hey Dennis, I noticed this video is pretty new, but my 9x doesn't have Pit Curve. I think this is done through the Prog.Mix settings but I'm not sure. My 9x just came in a week or two ago, so it should be current firmware but my menus don't match. Any advice?

[@JoeRendaRealty]

The DJI NAza light also has a three way switch on the other side. Off position, course lock, home lock. Can you please help or give any ideas on how to configure those switches on the 9X radio?

[@Hoverbot1TV]

You fly your quad in heli mode? I alway fly in acro plane. Just got a 9x today and uhf and trying to sort out the functions.

[@justinorloff]

Super vid,thanks Dennis, would you be able to show us newbie's also how to set the fail safe up. I cant work this out. I dont want to fly without fail safe working, ie power out or out of range. I have my Aux ch 5 set on geat but cant seem to get the mix right. Please help. and thanks again for this video, very helpfull.

[@boozer0501]

following your video, and for some reason when I have the channel 6 plugged in to the U port on the Naza. The three position switch and the elevator level on my TX both move the control mode on the naza software. Using the pitch curve does not move the slider. Very frustrating. I've switched RX and reset my TX. If I connect the U port to any other channel on my RX this doesn't happen. Any ideas on why this is happening.

[@dariopupi2146]

Hi i have a turnigy 9x too. The manual of naza says i need to use a new model in the radio as AIRPLANE mode.... i see you are using the HELI mode... did you find some problems? is not a problem use HELI mode? I'd like to use heli mode too because is more simple for set the switches on the radio...

[@dennisbaldwin]

***** I switched to ACRO mode a while back, which is just a different template than HELI. Now I'm flying with the Taranis and configure most of my setups from scratch. Here is a video I did a while back that talks about some of the differences between ACRO and HELI on the Turnigy 9X. Hope it helps: Turnigy 9X Heli and Acro Flight Modes Explained

[@jake08742]

Is it to much to ask is to do one on a Taranis. I checked all the KZbin videos , and cannot find anything on the DJI Naza setup. Yes I can download the program from RCgroups, but it would be nice to see a video on it. Thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

Dwight, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I do plan on doing a howto vid soon. Probably within the next two weeks. Will keep you posted. Take care.

[@dennisbaldwin]

You're very welcome. Thank you for following along.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Justin, I was able to mess with this over the weekend and got it working so hopefully it will work for you. Check out my latest video titled "DJI Naza Forced Failsafe Using Turnigy 9X Gear Switch Channel 5 Mix...". It's currently uploading but should be available in about 20 minutes. Let me know if you have any questions or if anything needs clarification. The Turnigy 9X documentation sucks so a lot of this stuff is trial and error!

[@eagleviewav]

Waiting for my Naza but just got the 9x and have it all set and ready to go. I set values to match yours so might have to adjust. But thanks for the great video.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Justin, I'll see what I can find out but let me ask a Q about your setup. I'm not sure what exactly this means: "rebadgered unit = FS TH9X PCM1024" Does that mean you're running the FlySky module? Also, do you know if you have the stock firmware running or something else?

[@mgg942]

Progress. First, when I rechecked, I was in 7 not 6. I can get your result with U connected to 6, BUT not with X1 and X2 connected to 7 & 8 'cos then the throttle stick also affects the flight mode indicator. I noticed that you do not have anything plugged into Turnigy ports 7, 8 and 9, so no connections to Naza X1, X2 or X3? Is there a reason why not? Mike.

[@MilestoneVids]

hey man, im new to this stuff, I have a 9xr but I dont know what half the features even mean, where can i find a explanation of all the features on my 9xr? Or any transmitter i guess... such as mixing, expo, channel & switch setups, what is Weight? what is Half and FULL for switch settings? and what does having -100 to +100 or whatnot mean.

[@eldhosenbaby007]

Hi dennis Thank you so much for showing us how to set the radio up But im having a problem with my rutter instead of lining up in the middle and being green its stays 3 marks towards the right, i adjusted the sub trim but it is not centering i did calibration but no help So please help me out Thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

eldhose nariyelil That's strange. I'm not sure what's going on. If you can't get there with your subtrims then maybe you should do a TX calibration. I know you can do this with the Taranis and it looks like this is possible with the T9X: dl.btc.pl/kamami_wa/hk_8992_14.pdf Good luck and let us know how it goes.

[@mgg942]

Dennis, I should have mentioned earlier that my receiver is suspect. I had a crash - broke a propeller and an arm. Added GPS while awaiting parts but can't get motors to fire up. Transmitter is OK - works on another quad. Today I got Naza Assistant error messages I couldn't dismiss though the Naza assistant responded to the transmitter, stick movements etc. Nonetheless the receiver is suspect and might be causing the odd behaviour reported earlier. Mike.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Zach, I appreciate the feedback and am glad to hear you're in the air. FPV is amazing and I wish I could do more of it! Yeah, I've been looking at the QAV stuff for a while. It's probably one of the best FPV platforms for the money. Let me know how it goes and if you get a chance check out our community at garagepilots . com. Would be great to have you over there. Take care.

[@MrDhonext]

Great video... can i use thi setting in WALKERA QR X350? THANK

[@Spoif]

Power and ground are only really needed on one connection between the flight controller and RX. You can put the other 3 way leads sideways on the signal pins of the channels, reducing the number of wiring harnesses needed between the two devices.

[@dennisbaldwin]

+Spoif Good point. That's what I'm doing nowadays. Thanks for sharing.

[@Lightspit]

Hi Dennis, i tried to do as it is done in this video but I have 2 issues: 1) I cannot assign F.mode to any channel. I supposed it had to be mixed to another switch. How am I doing this? 2) In NAZA menu when I move throttle also U change as well. I've done a wrong setting or what? I am lost here.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Watch the video again and it explains both of these issues. For #1 this is done via mixing and make sure you listen to the part about CH6 on our receiver going to the U port on the NAZA. For #2 watch the part where I show setting the pitch curve to a fixed value so it doesn't rise with your throttle. Good luck and if you have any more problems check out www.garagepilots.com

[@jaredcruthird]

dennis, i have settup up my discovery with nava v2 and turnigy 9x according to your video and every thing works accordingly except for manual mode. It shows on naza software when i toggle 3 position switch and highlights blue above gps, att, but not manual the arrow below it is centered but will not highlight it just goes to failsafe. any ideas?

[@dennisbaldwin]

Jared Cruthird That's strange. I've seen at times that the PWM to turn on the appropriate flight mode is pretty exact. So if you're off a little bit the flight mode won't highlight. My best guess is that you may need to fine tune your values to get manual mode to highlight. If that's not the problem then I'm not 100% sure what it is. You should definitely be able to get into manual mode.

[@jaredcruthird]

thanks for the reply dennis, i posted a video of it over on garage pilots as well so hopefully i can figure it out.

[@FloridaWeddingFilms]

I did it differently. In airplane mode, I used the the program mix 1, 2 & 3 using the Gear as the Master and the Flap (three position) as the slave. The down position of the Gear switch with each three position switch position for each of the mixes sets the NAZA mode, GPS, Atti, Manual. With the Gear switch in "UP" position all three of the three position switch positions goes to "Fail Safe". In that way I can just flip the the gear switch for "Oh Crap Mode" to recover.

[@Hoverbot1TV]

Hey Dennis, just got a used V1 so it is 9x set up night here! For my gimbal multi,

[@dennisbaldwin]

Nice, how's it coming along?

[@Hoverbot1TV]

I connect it to computer and the MC output ON just flashes no connection via USB cable I guess can't find it in non existant manual. Otherwize pretty tiny box hope I can get it to fly. It is a proven flying unit as well so it will work.

[@ralphd204]

do you usually take off the ESC plugs when connecting to PC? I have to take mine off or else the assistant software won't connect with my naza M-lite

[@dennisbaldwin]

Ralph D I don't normally have to do that. Under normal circumstances you shouldn't have to disconnect your ESCs to connect to the DJI Assistant. At least I never have.

[@mgg942]

I have one on order from within Australia for AUD19.99 delivered. Any thoughts on connections to Naza ports X1 & X2 as my earlier post?

[@aymanfatani]

Hey there denny, Can I use my Turnigy 6x with Naza Lite ? coz I have an issue when trying to do that, the Naza flashes yellow so fast and keeps in that situation :(, when the Tx is OFF the mode switches to ALT mode, and when ON it switches to the far right " EMPTY LITTLE BOX" !!!!!!!! any HELP please, does this trans. supports Naza lite ? Thanks in Advanced

[@dennisbaldwin]

ayman fatani I've never used the Turnigy 6X so I'm not sure. I would start with your standard four channels (AETR) and once you've confirmed that is working you can try to add your 5th flight mode channel. Sorry, wish I could offer more help.

[@aymanfatani]

Thanx so much for your help, you know something I discovered that my naza lite was corrupted, and I attached a brand new one everything went fine and I got the FC started and armed, loooool I was trying for about one day to solve this issue, is there a way to know if the FC is working or not although all the flight mode led light works as it should according to the mode you are at, but the problem was with arming and disarming, It really got on my nerves but thats fine I learned a lot, but I am wondering if the reason that the FC stopped working cause of the ESC which comes with BEC and that I forgot to pull out the red wires and connected all 4 with the red wires on, do you think that was the reason?

[@maxjax1]

I have the fs th9x and have followed your example... I am most likely missing the basics... is there a place I can find the 9x setup beginning to end.... I am real new to the hobby. fs th9x naza m lite aquacopter any help from anyone would be great.

[@AbHjz]

i have a question, were you connecting the Tx to the computer or without connecting it ?

[@dennisbaldwin]

Hi, my Naza was connected to the computer and my TX was bound to my receiver. So that's how it picks up the stick movements in the Assistant. Hope that answers your question.

[@daleharrington5936]

Do you have a video on IOC settings Homelock and course lock?

[@dennisbaldwin]

+Dale 01938 Only with Taranis. Hopefully it will help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o36uqp2aqs-peaM Good luck.

[@dennisbaldwin]

I wish I could be of more help, but don't have the 9XR. If you google "turnigy 9xr manual" the first link should be a PDF manual. Here is an excerpt: ii. HALF: The output is either 0 or the value describes in “weight”. This is controlled by the switch. iii. FULL: Same as MAX but the value is “-weight” if the switch is off or “weight” if the switch is on. MAX and FULL can be a little confusing. Look in the examples section for, well, examples :) Be sure to check the examples section.

[@brimest0ne]

Hey Dennis, Have you looked at the new Assistant software, you can choose 3 modes at the end, the trick would be to figure out how to access a 4th function mode using the 3ps +1 other switch. So it would have GPS, ATTI, Failsafe and flick another switch and get Manual mode. Its beyond me, but maybe you can figure it out, without your Videos, my copter would be still sitting on my desk! Thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I haven't messed with the new Assistant but will be soon when setting up a buddy's quad. What do you think about GPS, ATTI, & Manual then the other switch being failsafe? So you have your 3 flight modes with one switch and then failsafe completely separate? I only ask because a few others have mentioned this configuration to me and asked if I would do a video. Not sure how it would be done but am going to try my best to figure it out. Take care.

[@chrislatham5135]

Hi Dennis, I don't suppose you have a Taranis transmitter and have set it up the same as this? Chris.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Chris, I've been trying to get a Taranis for 6 months and cannot get a hold of one. When I do get one I'll definitely set it up, but it may be a while. If you know where I can get one then please let me know. Thanks!

[@chrislatham5135]

I ordered mine from HobbyKing. I payed in advance and it took about 6 months too. Cheers.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Chris Latham Good for you! I may go ahead and do that. I didn't realize that I could order even though it's backordered. I know exactly when I order it I'll get a note from alofthobbies saying it's now in stock. What to do, what do to. Thanks for the heads up.

[@dennisbaldwin]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@planesstevee]

hi im using turnigy 9x and frsky v8fr reciver. all channels work but when i move the throttle stick up the throttle slider moves but so does the control mode switch slider. any idea whats going on thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

Hi, you're probably in heli mode. Give me a couple days and I'm going to put together a video that explains how to set this up properly. I've had several others ask me about this and obviously I haven't done a good enough job of explaining it :) Stay tuned and thanks for asking.

[@myvideointube]

i have too (Turnigy 9x і FrSky v8fr)/ Long Range!

[@planesstevee]

so you have your 9x setup inheli mode? how do you switch off auto mix of throttle and pitch because when i move throttle stick up the throttle slider moves but so does the control mode switch slider. any idea whats going on thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

I'll get to that video soon, but the trick is to watch the part of this video that talks about adjusting your pitch curve. That will set it to a static line and override the throttle control. Hope that makes sense. If not, then stay tuned.

Dennis Baldwin Hi thanks mate got it all sorted now thanks to you!! excellent videos btw !!

[@dennisbaldwin]

I think you should be able to get it to work with the TH9X although I've never used one. Let me know about your flight mode (heli vs plane) and maybe that will help.

Good News! Got a new receiver - no better. Think the problem was corrupted Naza firmware. Now all OK. 3 way switch as your set-up. And gear switch connected to X2 via channel 8 to control "Intelligent Orientation Control" under Autopilot in Naza Assistant. This feature is a major reason for my purchase of the GPS module.

[@tony13985]

I understand that there is no failsafe for FS Rx, but is there a way to activate manually the RTH feature using this Tx?

[@dennisbaldwin]

tony13985 Yes. Maybe this will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ67f3yDZrF7m8k

[@dennisbaldwin]

Awesome. I always appreciate the feedback. Thanks and I'm glad you got it up and running.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Joe, that's great to hear. Thanks for the feedback.

[@SubratRed]

Can I use 9 channel receiver with 6 channel flight controller, fs th9x quadcopter and kk 2.1.5

[@monterx788]

really really really appreciate your video/help. was very easy to understand and follow your directions and set this up on my flysky!!!

[@kjetilertsas9172]

Great guide! With my Naza V2, the manual mode was out of range, so I had to use the subtrim-menu and other values for the curve.

[@dennisbaldwin]

Thanks. Glad to hear you got it working with a little subtrim!

[@davidringler40]

since you have the naza v2 are you using a stock 9x? if you are can you help me set up the ioc rth features? [e-mail]

[@kjetilertsas9172]

I only use 3-way switch w/ manual/atti/gps and forced failsafe on the gear switch. Haven't tried IOC, since I usually can understand orientation by my self.

[@davidringler40]

do you know how to setup ioc, and rth?

[@cesar68033]

I try to do what you did but I can't I'm using a fly sky th9x and when I try and program the 3 way switch and I play with the pit curves it moves everything like the stick from up and down and left

[@marianohernandez198]

Sorry I'm new on this I've just got my naza in I don't want for my f450 to do flips how can I do that .cus I just want the quad to carry some cameras n I wanna accidentally flipped please help I'm confused

[@dennisbaldwin]

Thanks for the info and it sounds like that could definitely be the problem. Do you have another 9X receiver? If not, look on eBay and see what you can find. I got one for $13 USD. Good luck and let me know if you stumble across anything else.

[@FloridaWeddingFilms]

KK2 is NOW performing well but one needs to flash 1.4 or 1.5 firmware to get Auto Stabilize to function properly. I went to LazyZero to get firmware. My next step is to rebuilt quad as an H copter to accommodate the FPV and test Gimbal with lighter Kodak Sport Video Camera. One I have the KK2 talking to the gimbal and learn FVP issues and feel confident I'll move on the the Heavy Lift Hex. It seems like two steps forward one step back.

[@ferdy55]

hi i was wondering if you can tell me how to set up manual mode on a 2 position switch on its own i have my 3 pos switch set up as gps/atti atti atti thanks

[@dennisbaldwin]

Maybe Jimmy from Garage Pilots can help you out: garagepilots.com/forum/topics/need-help-with-naza-m-2-and-turnigy-9x-with-open-9x-fw?xg_source=activity

[@amihaga7086]

Make a video of setup of flysky fst6And how to setup RTH(return to home)

[@vilsoncobello]

Hi, your videos are awsome!!!! Easy to understand and apply. I've done the flight modes and fail same on 3 swith and gear. It is working fine!!!! Do you have anything about course and home lock on Turnigy 9X standard? Will be helpfull. Tks and congrats for you!

[@dennisbaldwin]

Vilson Cobello Junior Great question. Unfortunately I couldn't ever get that figured out with the standard firmware. If you do an er9x upgrade you should be able to do it, but haven't done it personally. I'm now flying with the Taranis running OpenTX and it makes this pretty easy to do. Good luck with your setup.
