Kevo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi I'm trying a bit of indoor flying ...... the wife bought me a flyzone SE5a and the anylink 2 (Birthday)......powerd everything up.......all works as expected for a mode 2 tranny. My question is...as the SE5a is rudder/elevator can the Dx9 be programmed to give me ele/rudder together on the right hand stick like I had on my first trainer........as apposed to the usuall set up. The model is a PNP so swapping servo leads is not an option.......can any one help or do you have another way around this prob .Thanks for any help you can give Kev.

Dave Hopkin Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yes the DX9 can be changed to any mode, the instructions for doing it are on page 40 of the manual **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It might be worth trying the following.... Go to System Setup, then Channel Assign. In Rx Port Assignments, swap the assignments for channels 2 and 4, i.e., 2 AILE - Rudder and 4 RUDD - Aileron. Checking on the monitor screen, that moves the rudder to the right hand stick and the aileron to the left. A bit of a shot in the dark but it may work...

Kevo Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Dave...thanks for your reply.......to recap it's not the actual mode I wish to change......just would like to operate the rudder from the aileron stick rather than elevator on the right stick and rudder on the left.......if a mode change will do this then you will have to forgive me........DX is only weeks old and I am an old man....cheers Kev.

Kevo Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks for your reply Pete .....will give it a go and get back to you Cheers Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just do an aileron rudder mix (Coupled Aileron & Rudder), set it too 100% and at 100% aileron movement you'll get 100% rudder movement. The rudder will then move on both sticks, but that should work for what you want. I've done it on 3 channel planes where I can't train my right hand to steer the plane on the ground!

Dave Hopkin Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Pete's way should work, does that apply to all models or just the one in "focus"? (never played with that function!) Going through the manual mode change will change the XT into a mode 4 XT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Skilbeck Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Great, now where's the flight report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Flight report for you Frank........after one or two teething problems......the model looks and fly's great in hands of a more accomplished indoor flyer.....(thanks Bob )......for a tiny model it fly's quite fast, so walls arrive in front of you all too soon but managed to avoid them.......I think I should find my self a model that's a little more forgiving to get me in the grove of indoor flying......that said I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and only suffered the loss of one wheel due to a heavy landing.....a little repair work and (in the words of Arnie) I'll be back. Thanks for your input and interest Regards Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
