So I am sitting here trying to figure out just what goes where on the receiver, much of it is pretty straight froward, but I am just a little confused with my gyro and BEC. I will be using a CC BEC Pro, and the GT9 gyro that came with the Chaos 600 Belt My initial flights will be done with the CopterX version of the Turnigy 9X. Later this year I will be buying an Aura 9, but for now I am stuck with what I have. The channel layout on the receiver is: - Channel 1: Aileron. One of the front servos
- Channel 2: Elevator. rear servo
- Channel 3: Throttle. The ESC
- Channel 4: Rudder. Main lead from the Gyro
- Channel 5:Gear (on off switch)
- Channel 6: Pitch. The other front servo
- Channel 7: Dial on top right labeled Throttle Hover
- Channel 8: Dial on top left labeled Throttle Cut/Hover Pitch
- Channel 9: Bind. Actually says Battery, but everything I have read says the
two are reversed.
- Channel 10: Is the one labeled Bind, but as mentioned all the reading I have done says these two are reversed
So the straight forward bit is the first 4 channels, where I am getting confused is where to plug in the second lead from the BEC and the Gain adjust from the Gyro. Right now I am thinking that it would make the most sense to plug the gain adjust lead to channel 8 as it is on the same side as my rudder stick and is an adjustable dial. Then nulling channel 7 on the transmitter and using that for the second BEC lead. Does that sound about right?

I am not familiar with that RX but one thing you might want to double check is Channel 2 and 6. On my 600CF the Elevator is the rear servo. There is a plug coming of the GT-9 with a single wire, that would go to gear so you can switch between heading hold or rate mode. One BEC lead would plug in to Battery and if the RX is like Spectrum RX then you could plug the other BEC lead into the Bind.

You are correct I reversed the elevator and and pitch in my post, I was going from memory when I made the list So the signal wire is just to switch between the two modes on the gyro, I thought it was a gain adjust, so that makes it an easy decision. I am pretty sure that all Rxs are set up the same way with the bottom and middle pins as the power supply and the top pin as the signal I am not familiar with that RX but one thing you might want to double check is Channel 2 and 6.

I already have the manual for my Tx and Rx, but they are so poorly worded that trying to read the original gives me a headache I did find this version of the manual www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/544272942X226591X16.pdf when I first got my Tx. It is much better worded and easier to understand that the Chinanglish ones that the company puts out. It is also where I located the channel assignments on the Rx.

You actually done me a favout there. I have one of those tx's on order should be here next week. I'm using it to control a camera gimbal.

It will change gain as well. On my DX7 TX I can set the value of the switch position, the gyro looks at the values and if it is above a certain point, usually 50% but can differ from gyro to gyro, it goes into one mode and if its below that point it goes into the other mode. The values in between are gain for that mode. Clear as mud? So the signal wire is just to switch between the two modes on the gyro, I thought it was a gain adjust, so that makes it an easy decision.

yup about as clear as can be I can't wait till I can afford the new Tx and maybe a quark gyro, life should get a little easier then It will change gain as well. On my DX7 TX I can set the value of the switch position, the gyro looks at the values and if it is above a certain point, usually 50% but can differ from gyro to gyro, it goes into one mode and if its below that point it goes into the other mode.
