Hello
My first post. Please forgive my English. I have the Eurgle,last generation 9x, and the Turborix 6 ch receiver. When I try to program v-tail for my STM Blaze, I run in to problems.I have the sender on mode two. I go to the v-tail menu. State Act. Ele 1, 050, Ele 2, 050, Rud, 050 and Rud 2 -050. No matter where I connect to the rec. I got the elevator connected to the left stick. And the rudder on the right stick. I can't fly like this, pushing the left stick to left or right to control the elevator, and pulling the right stick up and down to control the rudder. :?: How can i program and plug the connectors so I can fly the normal way? Controlling my elevator with the right, and rudder with the left? Appreciate any help and tips.

Regards

Hello,

Are you using the stock firmware? Or the custom firmwares like er9x/open9x?

Sounds like you have the channels mixed up where they plug into the receiver? Sequence should match the channel order in the mixes.

Thank you for answering. Yes I have the original stock firmware on my sender. I need some advice where to plug in to the rec. And I am also interested in flashing, but need too read more first. The back-light component made for flashing I found the link to, is out of stock until end of this month.

sorry I never tried the stock firmware.. dumped it imeadetly and flashed er9x..Just to make sure, did you try to swap the elevator and rudder servos on the receiver?? not sure if that would fix the problem though.. :?

Arne, the Smartieparts board and light are excellent and that is what I have installed. If you are in a hurry, the Hobby King LED backlight and a USB programmer mentioned on the wiki would get you started soon.
To clear up the question of which servo is which, take them out of the plane, move the sticks, and watch what they do, then put them in correctly. Or just swap the leads where plugged into the RX and see if that is correct.

The servos are ready mounted from the producer of the model. I have tried many times to swap the connectors too. I think I will take the servos out, and flashing is the next step. :)
