@Tom Lombardi Couple things, 1) The trainer switch actually has 3 pins inside, swap the outside on to the opposite side and it will be the way you prefer, you can even rotate it if you prefer to press it down vs pull up... 2) The control is a 9 channel, but the receiver and probably the transmitter are 8 3) They have a $16 dollar lipo that fits in the battery compartment on hobby king Zippy 2500 3C "Transmitter Pack." 4) You also might want to consider getting the LCD backlight and re-flashing the firmware to er9x ... Nice video ;)
I was just ordering a Pocket AVR programmer to do just that!, like I mean I have it in the Sparkfun cart now!!! Crazy timing of your comment! Yes, it adds a lot, I can't wait to get it going. Thanks. Tom
I set an email notification about 6 weeks ago. Got an order in about 2 weeks ago, and my radio is currently in transit, and I should have it before the end of this week.
Great radio for the price. My first 9x-mode2 had an intermittant problem with the ELEVON stick. I was going to send it back but figured it would be cheaper & less hassle to just buy another one. Latest one is going fine, 2 models.. x-quad & h-quad. I replaced the 8xAA battery pack with a Rhino 2650mAH 3S Lipo.. fits fine though I cut a hole in the cover so I could dangle the charger leads out, rather than squishing them all in with the pack.
I really liked the last point that you made. I am just now getting into FPV using multi-ro's and I am going to be lifting some very heavy SLR cam equip / gimble etc. eventually. This endeavor is killing me with the expense and thats why I am researching cheaper radios but I would NEVER trust this radio for what I am trying to do due to the safety factor alone.I hacked my (r) arm up pretty bad about 4 years ago with rotors. 6 or more sharp/screaming props is a whole new game! UR Right B-Safe!
I really love value and I love this $50 radio even more now that I've flashed it with gruvin9x firmware. I built the 50 cal for about $500 in materials and a whole lot of hours of machine work. It hurts to buy ammo for it, but the hurt goes away when you pull the trigger :)
I am buying one of these with a uhf system Sun. I like the warning at end as I saw a 50pound gasser plane smash into a moving car back as a kid in 80's The best radios then glitched more I bet than the 9x. LOL!
I'm not sure what you mean. You can program some of the channels to mix with a knob that can be turned on by a switch. There's also a gear switch. Hope this helps.
Here are some notes on how to get the trainer to work on a Turnigy V2: Training Setup: Instructor TX (radio bound to airplane). Trainer menu all channels on. Power switch on. Timer off. Rubber band pulling trainer switch on. Student TX. Trainer menu set off. Power switch off. Module out and taped to the back. Mixes and rates match instructor TX. Cable plugged into instructor TX.
Re: trainer switch I just re-soldered the outside wire to the opposite post and when you turn on transmitter it will beep "switch" error then pull trainer switch once and now your back into normal functions. Must do this on every power ups. Also the slave Tx will not work unless you remove the module which sucks but it's a $60 radio.
You could install alternate firmware, but that's pretty involved. If you change the wiring on the switch you will get a switch error every time you turn the TX on. You'll also lose the timer function which is also controlled by that switch.
@MrMaxymoo22 It's a scratch built 50 BMG sniper rifle I built from plans by Bill Holmes. Just got back from a friends 400 acre ranch, shot a < 1 foot group - 1250 yards with British surplus ammo! I've got $500 in materials and many hours of work in it. Good times!
I read somewhere that using rechargeable AA batteries is a no go. Makes sense - normal AA are 1.5V x 8 = 12V and rechargeable batteries - 1.2V x 8 = 9.6V Near the bottom of the input range...
The receiver antenna needs to be a specific length. If it's broke at the board you may be able to solder it back on. If it's not the same length your range will suffer. The fat part of the antenna is a loading coil which is also important for range. I would replace the receiver. If you live in the US you could buy one from HobbyPartz, the FlySky 6 (R6B) and 8 channel receivers are compatible.
@0n3m1s1s0 the Turnigy IS Freq hopping but only across 16 channels. The FrSky hops across 80 channels. Also the FrSky has full Fail-Safe on the Rx. PLUS the option of telemetry. TH9X with FrSky module is the way to go with this one I reckon.
That happen to a friend of mine so we split the cost of another new radio and share the broken one for parts. I recently had a dead spot in my elevator stick, I used component cleaner spray from RS and fixed it.
@wingnutzster The battery tray fits better with the tray flipped so the batteries are showing. The lid will fit better and the tray won't distort, which could lead to an intermittent problem. This will be obvious when you get your radio.
We have several guys in our club flying the Turnigy 9X in Radian motor gliders without any problems with range. We use either the 9X8Cv28 receiver that comes with the radio or a 6 channel Fly Sky FS-R6B, both have a long single antenna. Sometimes these 2 meter gliders are nearly out of sight and are nursed back without losing radio contact. You might have a bad TX module or receiver. Also, cupping the receiver in your hand will shield RF more than the body of a model plane, so that might not be a good test. I wish I had better news for you. Hope this helps.
I think the transmitter needs to be bound to the receiver. Plug the bind plug into the bind port of the receiver, then power the receiver, a light will be blinking fast on the receiver, next push and hold the button on the back of the 9X and while holding the button power on the 9X. After a few seconds the blinking light on the receiver will go solid on, the Rx should be bound. Power everything off and unplug the bind plug. Power up everything normally and it should work.
The battery tray does short i have lost 2 planes because of this and had to remove the rear pannel to get it to stop. Was putting pressure on the battery tray. Other than that been a great raido. Now doing a FrSky conversion.
@HeadShot360IN I agree, I don't think it's a big deal, however if it's in wrong it distorts the battery pack and this has led to crashes! There are no instructions in the box, I wonder how many people that had problems just chalked it up to a bad radio?
@SuperPianowizard Yes buddy/trainer function works but the trainer unit has to remove the module or else the PPM signal gets messed up. There's a mod they use for simulators which is adding a 1k resistor to the PPM line but I don't know how that affects signal strength for flying. Yet ... ;)
Thanks for very sincere review. I trust your take on this $53 dollar radio. Too bad they inverted the switch though. Can you recommend a good place to buy this transmitter, preferably in the US. Other there store you'd recommend other then Hobby King who seems to be backlogged, out of stock, or expensive shipping for small part. Thanks for any help to newbies!
Thanks. I proved my point a few weeks ago, the radio went blank and I watched a $75 Slow Stick crash, it just missed the hood of a vehicle. Later I investigated why the lights went out, the connector on my Lipo TX battery wasn't seating well enough, I've replaced it an all is well. Imagine having >$500 wrapped up in a multirotor with a expensive camera mounted to it! Tears!! I think JR or Futaba might be the way to go for something dangerous and or expensive.
A DX5E is a good radio, I had one, but is really limited. I had mine for a couple of months. If you stay in the hobby you'll be selling it to get a more advanced radio.
A very professional video and well done indeed. I'm looking for a replacement of my old Futaba Digimax 5 and this model seemed ideal and very inexpensive considering what it has in it. but....do I really need a computer screen to fly a model plane, my old Futaba, just switched on and I set controls by altering the servo arms/control wires/control horns, these modern sets just seem to be over computerised. The Screen would have been nicer in blue. It would also be nice like my Futaba with DEAC rechargeable battery to have a Li-po battery in the TX. Still looking not made my mind up yet what to buy.
thanks tom..but i heard to someone that turnigy 9x cannot be use in nitro or gas rc because it will loose its signal and it has a weak signal so im still searching infos about these because im planning to get 1 and plan to put it on my nitro planes and heli
It's been awhile since I've setup for training, here is a note I wrote to myself, let me know if this helps. Training Setup Instructor TX (radio bound to airplane) Trainer menu all channels on Power switch on Timer off Rubber band pulling trainer switch on Student TX Trainer menu set off Power switch off Module out and taped to the back Mixes and rates match instructor TX Cable pugged into instructor TX
Thank you sir great review.. wish you had talked a little more into programming and mixing... do you know if it has programability for flapperon mixing?
It would seem to me the trainer switch should be an easy fix. They are just momentary switches. If it is a momentary normally open, change it out to a momentary normally closed. Any good electric supply company should stock them in various styles and lengths.
Hi Tom! Great video! I just "invested" in the 9x myself, a long time Airtronics fan. No problem binding, but I cannot get ANY servo to respond to any channel. Have a solid 6.0 VDC from a NiMH battery and all servos tested are brand new Hitec's, test fine in Airtronics receivers. Any suggestions? Have gone through the menus to see if there is any INH whihc may affect, as well as attempted to operate the servos on other MODE(L) selections. So much for trying the 9x tomorrow... Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for the review, very helpful. I'm waiting for mine to arrive and I was wondering, what kind of cable does it need to work with a PC Simulator? I mean, the connector is Futaba like...? Is it 3.5mm jack...? What do I need to buy? Thanks.
Good videos. Just bought my first 9x and have a question. How do I install the receiver? Does the antenna stay inside the aircraft or does it get glued to the outside of the fuss or what. Any assistance would be appreciated.
i know someone with a spectrum tx and he lost three planes due to it malfunctioning it only takes 1 component to break down and whatever your flying is coming down regardless of price weight how many engines nothing is 100% ive had no problems with my turnigy 9x
@brandon9271 Thanks. I'm using a GoPro HD camera. It weighs about 6 oz. and shoots 1080p. The kit comes with all the mounts you'd ever need and is in a ruggedized case. Just google GoPro for more info. Tom

Please explain what you were talking about re the batteries?? I don't have a clue what you were trying to explain, My 9x is on it's way and I want to know if there is a possible problem with the battery.
HI Wayne D Is your plug orientation correct. With my friends Jr servo plugged in looking straight at the pins the signal wire was far left than positive and than negative. I think the orientation is marked on the front of the Turnigy receiver.
One more time, this time I'll use commas... ---Training Setup---, ***Instructor TX (radio bound to airplane)***, Trainer menu all channels on, Power switch on, Timer off, Rubber band pulling trainer switch on, ***Student TX***, Trainer menu set off, Power switch off, Module out and taped to the back, Mixes and rates match instructor TX, Cable pugged into instructor TX.
If the trainer switch logic is inverted when the TX is switched on the TX complains. Are you saying there's a momentary switch that has an 'on' - 'off' then momentary 'on' position? If so, it would be a great solution! Thanks.
hey there, i bought one of these and was wondering if you could help me. did you figure it out how to make the 9 channels work in ppm mode, or it's only possible in pcm? thanks a lot!
can u use this model for blimp: I have it i want to use this but i dont know how to mix channels in order to steer the blimp to left and right by varying the speed of the left and right motors. please help me. thanks
Got my Turnigy 9x. Got excited so plugged my battery into it that was recommended for the controller, accidentally plugged the negative and positive in reverse. Smoke came out and I think it is fried. Sucks because ordering things to Canada costs as much as the item does. Any way to salvage it?
+Aubatron Hi there! I'm desperately looking for a dead 9X for parts. Do you still have yours? In particular, I really need the RF9X-v2 transmitter module off the back. Would you be interested to flog yours for scrap?
The module in the back clicks in and out, but there's an antenna wire that comes out of the module and goes into the radio. You can't remove the module. It's a really stupid setup, but hey it's a $55 radio!
I have a f 16 with 360 trust vector and i was wounding if U could help me. I'm try to get the vector to work with the rudder, eleron, and elevator. if I could I would like to have it on a swith to turn it on or off . any help would be much appreciated.
ive been looking everywhere for info on this and since i am short on cash i thought this would be a good radio but ive heard people say it locks out alot, has this happend to you?
I'm looking to get one of these for my model boat and I've noticed that while the transmitter has 9 channels, the receiver only lists 8. How do the 9 channels translate to the 8 channels on the receiver as I would like to have 2 channels to operate on/off functions and the rest to operate the throttle and servos? Any help would be gratefully received.
Tnx for the vid. i guess i wouldnt controll a jet turbine model w/ this one either...!!! But can anyone tell me if Butterfly is programable w/ the turnigy 9x...???
Rc and guns. My favorite things to do!! Well and hang with my kids. Thanks for the vid
Yes, I'm still flying with it and recently flashed it with the Gruvin9X firmware. I've had good luck with mine.
Thank you, for the information on the training cable.

It is a real computer radio with a heli mode. You can set knobs to work on a channel which I think would work to control gain. Hope this helps.
You can get the radio from Hobbypartz online. They sell it as the Flysky FS-TH9X.
@npawn I think DSM2 receivers are for Spektrum radios, they won't bind to the Turnigy, however the Turnigy receivers are only $8.99 each.
You could install alternate firmware, but that's pretty involved. If you change the wiring on the switch you will get a switch error every time you turn the TX on. You'll also lose the timer function which is also controlled by that switch.
Smartieparts board and er9x. It adds so much functionality for such a small price.

I did the same thing. I flashed the eprom with gruvin9x firmware and calibrated the voltmeter.
Yes, I do and it's working great.
@wingnutzster It's only an eight channel when using the 2.4 module. If you look at the receiver you'll see that only 8 channels are available.

I have just recieved my turnigy 9x in the mail but I can't seem to get it program. Can you Jill me in on some info please.
What kind of message is on the screen? Make sure all of the switches are in the up or away position.
They are. Its the programing part I don't understand, am new to all of this.
When I connect it to the ESC it keeps beeping fast and nothing works neither the motor or the servos
I think the transmitter needs to be bound to the receiver.

@inagerli On the main screen "model" is confusingly truncated to read "mode", so what it actually means is that you've selected model 3.
Thanks for very sincere review. I trust your take on this $53 dollar radio. Too bad they inverted the switch though. Can you recommend a good place to buy this transmitter, preferably in the US.

Lots of functions lots of upgrades also on it.
You can keep the antenna inside, but I would tape it down, in a crash it could tear out of the RX.
@somezade It uses a 3.5mm plug like on the Spektrum. I've haven't used it for a simulator.

@Aabish72 v2 turnigy IS frequency hopping (same as futaba) so no need for frysky as far as range is concerned bruv not sure about telemetry though
It would seem to me the trainer switch should be an easy fix. They are just momentary switches. If it is a momentary normally open, change it out to a momentary normally closed. Any good electric supply company should stock them in various styles and lengths.
he only needs to turn the switch round and its what he is looking for anyway..
Great Info, Thanks!
Hi Tom! Great video! I just "invested" in the 9x myself, a long time Airtronics fan. No problem binding, but I cannot get ANY servo to respond to any channel.

nice aerial videos! What are you using for a camera? Im thinking of strapping my cell phone to my heli.. well, after I become a better pilot! lol

Yes, I also use it for a quadcopter.
Good videos. Just bought my first 9x and have a question. How do I install the receiver? Does the antenna stay inside the aircraft or does it get glued to the outside of the fuss or what. Any assistance would be appreciated.
@SuperPianowizard Yes, but there's a few strange things to make it work. I explain how in my other video.

er...has anyone else noticed this guy is a sniper?
the spring thingy is nice but cant i do something with solder and stuff to make it work normally? I have the same problem
@mhshah7 It was a GoPro HD camera.
what would you recommend as a first radio(apart from this)? what is the range of this and can it be increased? i m a newbie.

Thanks.
I convert all my radios to 2 or 3s lipo...a 3s 800mah lasts a very long time between charges...They are only about $6 and last for years
Most of the antenna on my receiver ripped off due to a crash. Do you know what I should do to replace the antenna? Thank you and I enjoy your videos
hey there, i bought one of these and was wondering if you could help me. did you figure it out how to make the 9 channels work in ppm mode, or it's only possible in pcm? thanks a lot!
Can you program the 9x so that the digital trims are operated by switch? I would like to use this Tx for my Tamiya tanks. Thanks.
That's that a good idea.
Should I get this? Is it relyable, or should I get the dx5e? I am a beginner and all those features aren´t probably necesary to me, at least yet.
I´m trying to do some buddyboxing with a friend of mine but I can´t really get it to work. How do you set it up so it works? Cheers
@pietzeekoe You could, except you'll get a switch error each time you turn the TX on.
can u use this model for blimp: I have it i want to use this but i dont know how to mix channels in order to steer the blimp to left and right by varying the speed of the left and right motors. please help me. thanks
Where did you find your training cable? I am looking for one for the 9x.
Got my Turnigy 9x. Got excited so plugged my battery into it that was recommended for the controller, accidentally plugged the negative and positive in reverse. Smoke came out and I think it is fried. Sucks because ordering things to Canada costs as much as the item does. Any way to salvage it?

The module in the back clicks in and out, but there's an antenna wire that comes out of the module and goes into the radio. You can't remove the module. It's a really stupid setup, but hey it's a $55 radio!
I have a f 16 with 360 trust vector and i was wounding if U could help me. I'm try to get the vector to work with the rudder, eleron, and elevator.
if I could I would like to have it on a swith to turn it on or off .
any help would be much appreciated.
Is there a 9 channel reciever for this radio that is compatible. Please reply it would realy help
does Turnigy 9x is compatible with delta wing mixes.. need your answer please
I want to know more about that gun behind you. Homemade?
Can i use this transmitter for quadcopter or tricopter ???
how do i get my 9X to stop beeping during normal operations ?
At 6:25 diplay shows Mode 3 but the gas ist left...dont understand...
Hi does this radio have 3 position switches at all?
Whats the weapon behind you, with the scope and bipod?
Is it real?
You could, but you'd get a "switch error" every time you switched on the TX.
Sorry. I meant the fuselage not the fuss
hi thomaslombardi, do you still have this radio today? is it still working good?
thank you
=]
@usarmyfl1 Thanks! It's fun to shoot.
ive been looking everywhere for info on this and since i am short on cash i thought this would be a good radio but ive heard people say it locks out alot, has this happend to you?
Cant you resolder the trainer switch?
I'm looking to get one of these for my model boat and I've noticed that while the transmitter has 9 channels, the receiver only lists 8.
How do the 9 channels translate to the 8 channels on the receiver as I would like to have 2 channels to operate on/off functions and the rest to operate the throttle and servos?
Any help would be gratefully received.
+Atreius Lux the receiver is 8 channel and u need a differrent receiver if u want to use all 9
What is the buzzer? what alarm does??
Tnx for the vid. i guess i wouldnt controll a jet turbine model w/ this one either...!!!
But can anyone tell me if Butterfly is programable w/ the turnigy 9x...???
