Have I been sent the wrong transmitter

[mattbrailsford]

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit new to RC, so one of the first things I've purchased is a transmitter, a FS-TH9X. This can be bought in 2 model versions, Mode 1 or Mode 2. After asking around, it seemed Mode 2 was the way to go, so that's what I ordered. However, the transmitter I received, when I turn it on, says mode 1. What confuses me though, is when I go into the menus, and go into stick set option, it says it's mode 2. Can anyone tell me if I've been sent the wrong transmitter? (if it helps, the stick on the right seems to always return to centre, where the stick on the left does not).

Any help appreciated.

Matt

If the stick on the right is sprung to centre and the stick on the left is free to move up and down but sprung left-right you have mode 2.

Cool, thanks Darwil. It sounds like I have a Mode 2 then, so all good. Thanks for helping me identify it correctly.

No problem mate!
Good luck with the hobby; don't be afraid of asking anything on here no matter how trivial you might think it is - you will always get help from someone!

I have the same TX using it on a Trex 500. You can change modes fairly easily apparently but I have never done it. Also heaps of other mods you can do. I brought mine for use with a sim in the beginning but quickly got addicted and got a heli. Investing in a sim is a very good start.

Good luck with your start in the hobby ... can be a bit of an information overload at times but it soon gets clearer

Never be afraid to ask ... there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

Thanks guys. If the friendliness of the forum is anything to go by, I think I've chosen a great hobby =)

It sounds like a Mode 1Transmitter that was swapped over for you so all good . They probably never had a mode 2 in stock mate . Rob

Does the display show the model currently selected, and if so, could it be displaying model 1, but as Mode 1 (no L on the word model) maybe??
Cheers,

Aaah, robgt, you are spot on. Changing the selected model changes the number. So it looks like its telling you the selected model not the mode. Thanks for the suggestion.

Upgrade the firmware to er9x and make it a much better TX. See 9xForums.com for lots of info
