SOLVED!!!
can you believe it?
after 8 long weeks, one return to 3dr and many attempts at solving I HAVE FLOWN.
Solution - was to reverse the throttle on the Turnigy TGY 9x tx AT the transmitter, NOT in Mission Planner
(I hate reversing throttle in any place - so probably not surprising I delayed fiddling with throttle)
this solved "no green bars to calibrate radio signals" issue in forum and several other erratic starup and setup issues
wow its so good to fly.
BIG thanks to all who helped - oh and the community wide.

Was not obvious to me for a newbey in MP - low PWM for low throttle ? it's in the setup notes but not obvious for an essential step that if ommitted causes major drama - IMHO. probably would be best as a step in itself to test throttle pwm values. better described in troubleshooting though
@monroe
all TGY 9x"s? I guess so. Jason's comment above that most ship the 'wrong' way arund means others are likely to have problems. If a person copies an existing model setup in Tx they won't see the problem. Make a new model and whamo you are back to default with wrong direction on throttle. That was my case and I reversed in MP resulting in more problems than a wet bar of soap/
.
Almost all electrics expect low PWM for low throttle which is the opposite of how radios are shipped. The CLI test called pwm would have shown you that. Sorry for your troubles.
