    Anybody willing to check my first try:

    I configured like that:

    Switches: SD + SC

    SD high + SC high = Stab

    SD high + SC mid = ALT

    SD high + SC low = RTL

    SD mid + SC high = PH

    SD mid + SC mid = Loiter

    SD mid + SC low = RHL

    SD low + SC high = Land

    SD low + SC mid = Stab

    SD low + SC low = RTL

    My APM is still on it's way and I can't test it. Can anybody help me?

    Will my file work?

      Those setting aren't relevant.

      You need to have your APM device attached via your receiver.

      Then setup the flight modes with Mission Planner

      • CyberCrash > Stephen Palmer March 18, 2014 at 1:29pm

        They are!

        I need the ch5 to reach certain points to activate different Flight options.

        The problem is: I can't check if they are correct and the APM will be able to use the values I used (found online).

        • Stephen Palmer > CyberCrash March 18, 2014 at 2:37pm

          You'll need channel 5 for your 2 position switch and channel 6 for your 3 position switch.

          I would suggest that wait until you receive your APM and we can address the setup then!!

            Flight modes are all on ch5 on APM. With 2 switches, 3pos and 2pos or 3and3.
            All mixed on ch5.

    Thanks for that.

    But, could you explain a bit more? I don't understand how all settings work together. Thanks.

    • Stephen Palmer > CyberCrash March 18, 2014 at 7:41am

      The Taranis PDF manual does an excellent job of explaining how the pieces  work together!

      • CyberCrash > Stephen Palmer March 18, 2014 at 8:53am

        thanks for the hint.

        Did a bit of searching....do you mean this one?

          Yes sir, that's the one.

          I am sending you a .eepe file for the Taranis and APM.

          Just load it in to your transmitter.

          APM Flightmodes with curves.eepe

            I think I could load this into my Taranis...but, will this give me what I need to use it with my 3DR Iris?  I know how to bind the radio to the stock Iris receiver (FrSky 4DR-II)...will it then be correctly set up for this receiver?  What about if I were to swap out the stock 4 channel receiver for the 8 channel FrSky receiver the Taranis came with (X8R)?  I am not knowledgeable yet to know how to modify the radio so need to know if by loading this eepe, the radio will only need for me to bind to one or the other receiver.  If more is involved, how complicated will it be?  I don't mind learning if it doesn't require a PhD...I am much better off than when I first started after getting the Iris, but unfortunately, no one makes an RC for Dummies book yet.   Hint hint to all you authors out there!
