Hi


I have the X9r pro, just wish I know how to use all the program, I would think that you must be able to use all of the functions in one form or another.


All in all I have found it to be a good system and you can get the RX in the U.K so you do not have to go to Lobbying.

in all honesty, your money would be better spent on a FrSky Qx7.

pick a channel and assign a switch to it

Post by: essexbill on June 19, 2019, 09:38:43 pm

Hi.


I have gone through the bind process with different radios over the years so have a good idea of how to do it.


With the Turnigy 9x my result is failure, I have read the manual watched a couple of clips on YouTube but no success.


Plug in the bind plug and power, hold in the bind button on the transmitter and turn it on. All I get is the same flashing light on the receiver I had before I turned the transmitter on.


Please people what am I missing? /

Are you too close

the bind directions for the 9x and its receiver are bad...   on the receiver the plugs labeled "bind" and "bat" are backwards.

start watching the following youtube video at the 2 minute mark:

Before I was quiet sure I did all in the correct way.

Thanks for your comment , did you use the first port for the battery or bind plug as the markings on the RX are really poor?
