    IMO the Turnigy outshines all others by the Open Source nature of the firmware. There are destructions and guides, as well as no-soldering-installation kits availible to add a usb interface and upload new code.. if your comfortable with building a ardu-anything, you can handle adding new firmware to your Turnigy!. New code brings out easily programmable APMega switches and dials.

    Not sure if this is mentioned elsewhere; I'm using the Pot knob on the front of the 9X transmitter as a mode switch.  I used a red and black marker to mark the alternating arcs/zones for the 6 modes (0-5) around the knob.  This way all modes are in one spot.  Works well for my needs

    Tom thats a great job, can you still have flaps on this setup?  Since ch6 is usually flaps, any options to still have some flaps?  Sorry I am new to RC planes..

    I eventually managed to program my Turnigy 9X 3-way switch, the result is great (I think):

    Hi
    I hope this helps...I dont have an internet connection at home... Using a blackberry with the BIS... Typing takes forever..
    Anyway...
    Enter the menu( It is important to note that enter needs to be pressed to save changes made in menus)
    1 Go to the AUX-CH menu
    2 Change CH-7 to HOV THRO
    3 press enter then exit menu
    4 Go to PROG MIX enter mix1
    State ACT
    Master AUX
    Slave FLP
    Offset 000
    Uprate -100
    Dnrate 000
    SW NOR
    5 Save this by pressing enter
    6 Go to PROG MIX enter mix2
    State ACT
    Master AUX
    Slave FLP
    Offset 000
    Uprate 100
    Dnrate 000
    SW ID2
    7 Save this by pressing enter
    This setup leaves two extra channels open for use... These can be set in the AUX-CH menu
    ( Just take care in selecting the right AUX in mixing as 2 are available)
    If you need help... Just shout...

    Replacement LiPo battery:

    Space available 31 x 31 x 110 mm (note 31mm H and W are close to absolute max)

    Option 1: 2 pack cylinders
    Rcgroups forum has notes that a 2 pack 2400mAH Lipo pack will do the task and give 8hrs plus flying.
    http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1035575&highlig...
    Available in US and others at http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20392
    Au http://www.ledcentral.com.au/index.php?page=shop.browse&categor... UltraFire Au$16.50
    Au http://www.gadgetsdirect.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&am... TrustFire Au$27.00 incl post
    Discharging and charging protection circuitry built-in.
    This option seems to need soldering of connectors on to cells - is there a safety issue?

    Option 2: 2 pack rectangular - normal rc shape
    Like this 850mAh one:
    http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=...
    60x31x16mm

    Anyone had experience changing over to Lipo's?

    Anyone done soldering on a 2 pack lipo?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Firstly ... the Control Mode Switch
    has anyone worked out how to program the Tx to create a good control mode switch?
    I've looked for and failed to reprogram the 3 pos mixing switch.
    OR have you replaced one of the trim pots with a switch ? Love to know the part if so.

    Thanks in advance
    Brett
