Taranis X9D plus was created by Brian
I want to be able to control three brushless motors from the Aileron/Elevator stick on the Taranis
The transmitter is Mode 2, and the LH stick will be disabled for safety.
The controls I want to create for the RH stick are:-
1).. Stick forward, left and right motors run with throttle control
2). Stick right, left motor only with throttle control
3) Stick left, right motor only with throttle control
4). Stick back, third motor only with throttle control
First question. Is it possible?
Second question, if it is, how do I program the Taranis?
I tried to make sense of the "mixing" section in the manual, but so far I've been unable to figure it out.
Any helpful suggestions would be welcome, apart from those telling me to get a Futaba transmitter.

Phil - That was also my question "Why" - maybe Brian will eventually tell us what cunning machine he's working on.

Maybe a "bot" Colin, although it does not seem to have the requirement of reverse. :lol: Although I think it would be easier using an Arduino

The video shows it all, Unfortunately I couldn't take in the programming sequence as the Taranis doesn't seem to have the facility to customise "curves" for the stick inputs. But perhaps I missed something?

Ah! Andy Newton from Down Under. Now I get it. But he does say this was way back in 2016 and does not have the radio or the config file anymore. Also he says "I dont have the boat setup or radio any more sorry. But I would do it differently now. Forward motors on Ch 1 and 2 controlled by Throttle stick, with differential thrust via the rudder stick, and reverse motor on ch 3 controlled with the elevator stick (just the down movement)"

The latter is what maybe I would've done.;)
