"Channel 7 is the easiest way to do it in my opinion? A gym or warehouse would be ideal, but finding one you can fly in is not always as easy? I took mine to a multi-storey carpark to a level where there was enough height and nothing to hit…"
Jay replied to Jay's discussion Auto-Trim Mode"Thank you for your reply Dean, you have given me a much better understanding of how auto-trim works. I am probably not keeping it hovering for long enough because the walls in my garage are creating prop wash. I am going to try setting ch 7 and…"

Jay commented on Crispin's blog post Spektrum DX8 and AR8000 Failsafe setup"I am using the FrSky DIY module with a FrSky VF8R receiver that has a failsafe. I do not think the stock Turnigy receiver will let you set a failsafe."
Jay commented on Crispin's blog post Spektrum DX8 and AR8000 Failsafe setup"FYI to do this on the Turnigy with ER9X firmware, just goto Setup on model 2/10 page and turn E. Limits to ON. Then goto Limits on model 6/10 page and change CH3 0.0-110 instead of 0.0-100. This should drop you down to 940uS or so in MP. Bind with…"
