If you're like me, while you're flying you tend to stick close to your ground station running Mission Planner so you can hear the voice updates. It's nice to know which waypoint you're currently…Continue

RPF commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"@Fabian -- I've replicated your settings on my DX7s, but it's not working quite right.
Before changing anything, the flap switch would flip between flight modes 1, 3 & 6.
After the changes, the flap switch goes between modes 4, 5…"

Fabian commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"Chuck, your CH5 values look nice. That's what I want to get too. I have checked the SW Select which are the same as your's. The problem is that I don't really understand the concept of Servo Setup and Mixing in detail. Unfortunately…"
Scott Tiller commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"Fabian I set my DX7s just as you have and it works a treat. Switch the GER and AUX1 in the mix setup and changed to you numbers. I only really get 5 but all I wanted was RTL, Stab and Loiter, which I now have thx to you and Bruce. Cheers guys."

Chuck O commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"The movement of AX1 is not nearly enough.

Fabian commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"To answer your questions, I see some movement of GER and AX1 if I switch the GEAR switch (see the following pictures).

Fabian commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"Hi. I also use a DX7s radio and want to use 6 flight modes (5 would also be ok) but it doesn't work. I followed the tutorial of bruce but for me it does not work.It would be nice if someone could provide some help on that topic.Thanks"
Chuck O commented on Bruce Jones's blog post Getting 6 Modes out of Channel 5 on a Spektrum DX7s"Tanks to the OP for this. I got it to work for all 6 modes. The only thing I changed was instead of -85% in MIX 2 I dropped it to -50% and I get all 6 flight modes on channel 5
This is for a DX7S and an AR8000"
"Scot, sorry I just discovered the Flap sitwch is mixed with the rudderDR/mix switch, not gear....... Now I'm confused....
So in my case Gear channel has nothing to do with flight modes... Sorry for the confusion, there's been a…"
"TRavel on my gear channel is: +85%
-54%
Travel on flap: +- 150%
I have a DX7.

Here are screen shots of the 3 sets of changes you need to make to use the 2-way Gear and 3-way Flap switches to send 6 different modes down channel 5.…
