Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter and UAV

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:

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
