Long story English. I dicked about with the x9d for a few days so thought I'd factory reset. To cut that story short I thought I'd tweak the default model. Strange problems persisted in as much that no matter what I changed channels 3 and 4 were rudd and ele and the on screen GUI was showing both sticks full right, despite having calibrated. Anyway it's sorted now. I set up a new model on the tx and all is well. Strange that even setting up a model on the companion using wizard still caused the same problems.

Make sure your expo makes it 'soft' in the middle, not 'sharp' in the middle..

Let me understand this. If you mean that control input should start slow and build toward the outsides. Yes it does.

Thanks

Go steady.
Don't be afraid of altitude.
Get your bearings in the goggles so you know which way is 'home'. Look at the shape of the fields below and make a map in your head.
Don't over react to little wobbles - let the plane fly in the (moving) air - don't try to correct everything.
Fly around gently, and see where that strange person on the ground is, and keep his position in mind.
Then land toward him , into the wind.
You will love it when u get it.
