On the 9x it's the flap switch and Aux2 on the RX, mine is set to Auto and then you have the 3 position options there.

there are a couple of ways of setting up the gyro on the 9x2

plug the gyro sense into aux2.

go to the gyro sense screen it will probably be inhibbited at the moment.

if you set it to rudder D/R switch and set 2 values

or you can set it to "auto" which gives you the option of setting a different gain for each flight mode.

personally, what i do is use auto mode and set all flight modes to use position 0, set one value and its done, no switch to get in the wrong place and keeps the rudd DR switch free for rudder dual rate or throttle hold. i dont like where they put throttle hold switch as standard.

you might want to use rudd DR mode for ease of getting into setup and doing CSMs quick trim.

remember that 50% is centre so on a CSM 50% gain in hh and normal would be 25 and 75 on the 9x screen. Cant remember which way round that is.
