Customisations 

This section describes various simple customisations you can make. Apply after the basic setup is complete 
and backed up. Customisations will not affect mixer adjustments, so you customise at any time without 
breaking the setup.  

10.1

 

Changing the assignments of Spoiler and Flap 

Spoiler and flap functions may be assigned to any suitable control. Recommended options for the Taranis 
X9D are as follows: 

Function   Assign to 

Default   Menu point 

Spoiler 

Thr

LS

, or 

RS

 

Thr 

Mixers

CH17  

Flap 

Thr

LS

RS

, or 3p switch 

RS 

Mixers

CH20 

 

10.2

 

Changing the flight mode switch 

By default, the flight mode switch for Power, Cruise and Thermal modes is 

SA

. You can specify another 

switch instead, as follows: 
1.

 

Choose any spare 3-position switch (for X9D these are 

SA

SB

SC

SD

SE

 or 

SG

). We’ll refer to the 

chosen switch as ‘

Sw’

.  

2.

 

In the 

FLIGHT MODES

 menu, set the switches as follows: 

 

FM2 (Power): 

Sw↑

 

 

FM4 (Cruise): 

Sw―

 

Note 1: 

Sw↓

 will select  Thermal mode (you don’t set this explicitly). 

Note 2

: all three flight modes should use the same switch 

10.3

 

Reversing the spoiler stick 

By default, zero spoiler corresponds to throttle stick fully-forward. To reverse the behaviour: 
1.

 

Open the Mixers menu 

2.

 

Skip down to CH17 (RawSpl)

Spoilr  

3.

 

Open the mixer editor 

4.

 

Change the curve from ‘CV4’ to ‘!CV4’ (note leading exclamation mark).
