Naza setup using Turnigy 9X w/ER9x firmware via PPM witha a DragonLink system
I wanted to use a DragonLink UHF Receiver with a Naza setup via PPM. Since Naza supports the PPM channel ordering of Futaba and not DragonLink, neither my trusty old JR XP7202 or XP8103 could remap/reconfig the PPM channels. Which stinks because I love that XP7202. So, I had to go with a Turnigy TGY9x transmitter reflashed with the ER9x firmware. Which by the way ended up being incredibly versatile and robust. And, since the setup proved to be somewhat tricky I decided to post it up here...
a) In case someone else was trying to do the same thing.
b) For the selfish reason that I can find it if my black hole of a brain loses it.
1. Setup a new model and call it whatever you want. For this example we'll call it "Penguin". Why, because penguins kick a**.
2. Go into the model setup for the model you just created.
3. Right Scroll to "Templates" page (10/10).
4. Scroll down to "Channel Order" and change it to "AETR".
5. Scroll up to "01 Simple 4-CH" and press the menu button to accept it.
6. Left scroll to "Setup 01" page (2/10).
7. Change Proto PPM to "12CH 300uSec".
8. Change PPM FrLen to 22.5mSec (If it is not already set).
9. Go to the "Mixer" Page (5/10).
10. Channel 1-4 Should be 100% and respectively AIL,ELE,THR,RUD.
11. Scroll down to CH6 and create a new mix. Modify as follows.
- Source = FULL
- Weight = -100 (That is negative one hundred).
- Switch = ELE
12. Exit the mix...Continue Reading

Multi-purpose Hexa Recipe (Incl. Parts/FPV/Etc)
I get asked the same question so often, so I figured it would be better to create a thread with the info so that folks can find it instead of having to wait for my PM's. 
So here goes. This is my recipe for an affordable Hexa with options if people want to go up or down in quality/price. It includes options for FPV and AP as well as tips/tricks/suggestions.
==============================================
HansAuf Suggested Affordable HEXA FPV/AP Setup
==============================================
FRAME:
DJI F550 or the Clone Frame below. This provides the most bang for the buck Hexa setup. Frame is easy to work on and power distribution board is integrated into the frame.
Multicopter SM550 V2 Frame Black/Red $39.99
http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo...9&productname=
Multicopter White Arm For SM450/550 (Need 2 of these) - $4.99 each
http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo...7&productname=
(I suggest these extra arms because the frame above has 3 red and 3 black arms. Swapping one of each color allows for better orientation)
MOTORS:
(Need 6 pieces)
Note: These are motor "Choices". If you don't want to carry a large gimbal and are just going to be carrying a GoPro, you don't likely need the Avroto motors and a huge battery. You would literally be amazed at how much the $15 Turnigy motors listed will carry without a problem.
Turnigy NTM Prop Drive 28-26 1000KV / 315W -$15.99
