Just curious.. what the "Thumb Stick" mod is for? What is the different comparing to the original parts?

The thumb sticks are mostly for looks and telling your radio apart from others, but they do offer a better "grip" and more control over the height of the stick.

Thanks.

This is very helpful to someone like myself who is hesitant when it comes to modding my equipment, thanks!

Hello, wonder if you know what this could be, I baught your smartieparts and uploaded the firmware with your files exatly as how the video say, even calibrating the sticks. Now when I try to lift my quad off the ground it goes forward to much and if I counter it by pulling slightly back on the sticks it goes backwards too much.

Any ideas?

Hey man... sorry for the delay. I have no experience with multi-rotors so I'm doing a little research to figure out what your issue may be. You may need to turn down the throw percentage (probably wrong wording) in er9x, or maybe it is a setting/configuration/calibration on the APM. Did it fly fine with the stock firmware on the radio? Any other configurations that might be unique? Let me know this in the mean time, and I'll research it a little.

Also... maybe check the calibration. On the main screen, click the left up button until you see a horizontal bar graph (I don't have the radio in front of me, so I'm going by memory... which has consequences). This graph should show you your inputs and you can visually check the calibration by moving your sticks around. If it moves smooth and and reaches the ends of the graph when the stick reaches it's end, the calibration is good. If anything is a little odd, then try the calibration again. ---- Do you need to program a mix to fly a multi-rotor?

Hello, with the stock firmware I flew perfectly, I had to add a mix for it ass well. I have forgotton about the mix. I will google a bit the er9x mix for the quad. The graphs does look perfect and smooth but mabey there is something else.
