Hi guys just got a mfd ap from flyingwings and just got back from the field from the maiden flight. All i can say is wow am happy. Tornado going on ebay . I really like the unit. stabalize mode was great from the off circle mode and atitude mode worked great too and rth worked like a treat well happy i got this unit. Need a little help with the osd navigation is there a setting to reverse the osd navigation? I am having to move my sticks the opposite way to scroll through the osd menus changing settings can be a pain. I cant reverse it in my tx as this will reverse my control surfaces. Any help would be mush appreciated thanks guys

I don't understand what you mean by reversed. You access the menu and the elevator control scrolls the menu up or down, on my Futaba up elevator moves the highlighted menu bar down on the menu and up is the reverse. I then use roll control to select the menu option. I have no idea if it's reversed or not it just seems logical to me. What radio do you have?

Thanks bigt. What i mean is i have to give up elevator (stick down)to scroll up and roll left to go right so its backwards when it comes to programming. I suppose i can live with it but it would be nice if i could make it go the right way

Using a taranis x9d plus

Strange, you are absolutely sure that you don't have the servos reversed in the tx and then corrected in the AP? When I set up a new model with any AP I put a Rx in the model first to check every surface works in the correct sense. Then I install the AP and if needed make changes in the menu.
I don't use or know Taranis, I have only used Futaba for 40 odd years, currently a 14SG

Yes i have reversed  some channels in tx to get the correct movement The manual states when doing setup to get correct stick movement from servos use reverse in tx and to get correct gyro compensation use reverse in the osd and thats how did it. Maybe i have done something wrong

Why not. Change the elevator in tx  and see what happens.  It has been noted that some radios need end points extending to get channels working correctly. You obviously did the set up flight correctly, all the calibrations etc. Cal joystick etc

Because that will reverse my elevator giving me incorrect control

Not to fly but to ground test. I'll check mine later

If you used the wrong combination of rudder and aileron input to get into your menu it will scroll and select in the menu the wrong way, so right stick will exit instead on enter etc.

I just tried mine out. Normally i don't use rudder to get into menu, I have always gone full up, full left roll to get into menu. Just did that and the menu scrolls the right way. So I. Tried full up full right and the menu still scrolls right way. Wtf. I fly mode 2 ( throttle rudder left stick). Btw used to fly mode 3, throttle and elev on right stick but full throttle was stick away, rudder and ail on left. Thinking back I have no idea how I changed over. My brain was much more spongy back then, or was it just we where used to tripping over our baggies
