I eventually managed to program my Turnigy 9X 3-way switch, the result is great (I think):

Tom, I found the link you provide to be one of the best explanations for mixing. But for whatever reason, I get to step 8, check the [DISPLAY] to make sure I can see changes and I don't see anything change on any of the channels when I move the 3 position switch. It's almost like my F. Mode three position switch isn't connected to anything. No matter what I change under PROG MIX or AUX CH, I can't get that switch to show anything under DISPLAY. Are you aware of anything else in the settings that I would need to change to make the 3 position switch show something? I am regretting getting something with so horrendous documentation.

I can't recall seeing anything that enabled or disabled the F Mode switch, so maybe yours is actually just faulty...

The documentation is pretty non-existent and the menus suck, but it was hardly wasted money for me. A gamble for sure, but so much cheaper than the other transmitters that it was worth a try.

Tom thats a great job, can you still have flaps on this setup?  Since ch6 is usually flaps, any options to still have some flaps?  Sorry I am new to RC planes..

I just chose FLP as the slave channel as I wasn't using it, but I can't see why you couldn't choose another one.

Not sure if this is mentioned elsewhere; I'm using the Pot knob on the front of the 9X transmitter as a mode switch.  I used a red and black marker to mark the alternating arcs/zones for the 6 modes (0-5) around the knob.  This way all modes are in one spot.  Works well for my needs

I had considered that, but the prospect of having to check the position of the knob as I was desperately trying to regain control of my plane didn't appeal to me...

IMO the Turnigy outshines all others by the Open Source nature of the firmware. There are destructions and guides, as well as no-soldering-installation kits availible to add a usb interface and upload new code.. if your comfortable with building a ardu-anything, you can handle adding new firmware to your Turnigy!. New code brings out easily programmable APMega switches and dials.
