How do I downgrade a Hexa

Although  I am building another Hexa to carry on working with 2.7.1, I need to to downgrade a current Hexa (JDrones Factory Assembly, 880Kv) to 2.6 so I can continue using it.

2.6 was working well and just needed some tweaking in the WP PIDs

I have downloaded and installed 2.6FW with Arduino without any apparent problems, used MP to setup the functions and PIDs I needed, calibrate everything and all seemed well, until I started the motors and found only 4 going.

Aha, I said, I must be on Quad, and sure enough in the CLI under Frame it showed Quad.

But try as I might I cannot find any reference on how to change it to Hexa. 

Can it be done through the CLI?

Do I have to change something in the 2.6 code and reload it?

If so, where would I find it?

Any slap in the right direction would be appreciated.

    It's pretty simple. Look for a file called APM_Comfig.h There you will see a bunch of defines.

    Uncomment FRAME_CONFIG and set it like this:

    #define FRAME_CONFIG HEXA_FRAME

    That's it.
