Title: Taranis X9D plus and throttle query
Post by: Pragmatist on March 21, 2020, 02:59:06 pm

So I have finished my boat and sailed her a few times now and very happy however left stick throttle is reversed ie down is forward and up is reverse. Excuse my inexperience but do you know a way to correct this on the Taranis?
Thanks,
Matty

Hi Matty,

You need to "reverse the servo" for the throttle channel.

Appreciate it's an ESC you have connected not a servo but that's the radio tx jargon

No ESC as it’s a steam driven boat.

Ooopps - same concept though - you need to reverse the "servo" signal

Yep that’s brilliant. Just couldn’t think of the terminology. Have googled that and all good. Once again, cheers.
