Is there an easy way to transfer models from my DX8 to my new DX9? When I manually put in the data from my Trex500 which I am still setting up, my settings for the servos are not the same such as reverse direction and motion control. Are there other fields in the DX9 that I need to look at or change? I also added a 9020 receiver instead of just using the 3GS unit to allow me to access true DSMX mode.

They have different info within the files. so unfortunately you can't just swap them over.
I'm still working on learning the DX9 and when I get done, I will be uploading videos on how to set all of this up. I know it doesn't help you now, and I would love to grab my helicopter and my DX9 annd help you out, but i have to get up at 0200 in the morning. Remind me fi you have not figured it out Friday or the weekend and I will make it a priority to dig into this and find you some answers.

I was talking with some friends at my local club and was told I need to re set up my DX9 with my trex as if it was the first time the trex and transmitter were setup. Thus its take off the head, orient the servo directions, fine tune the arms to 90 and redo the trims, etc with my 3GS in DIR mode and then redo the tail setup as well. Will work on this today.

I converted all of mine manually as I purchased it when they were first released, however now some conversion tools are available for DX7 & DX8 to DX9 & DX18
I have not needed to use them myself so can not guarantee how well they work.

Finally got the DX9 setup with my Trex 500pro. The new transmitter seems to work even better than the old DX8 with regards to finer tuning of the servos or it could be just my imagination. I had to change some hard linkage also for the swash and a better 0 degree linkage change for the blades at 50in 50 out pitch. But now both blades are at 0 and almost the same degrees in both directions. I love this new DX9.
I saw some place but can't remember where on how to add the 6th and 7th point % for the Throttle curve or Pitch curve. Does anyone know how to do this? Was thinking it would smooth out my curves better to create first smoother spool up and then better performance when flying in either 1 or 2. I don't plan to fly in normal but want control of getting the rpms up gradually while in normal.

Select Throttle Curve
Increase Throttle to where you want the new point, Add Point should appear at bottom of screen.
Select Add Point and press Roller
Then Adjust point in normal way.
To remove point is similar just increase/decreas throttle until you over the point you want to remove.

Thanks again Keith for posting this.
BBJ, the best option for a smooth spool up is to get a good ESC with a good soft start. Then, you can run a flat 100% curve in all modes (just used as an example) and kill it with Throttle Hold. It will spool up smooth every time. One of the cheap but better ones that people are using is the YEP ESC's. I didn't have luck with the one that I had, but I do plan on giving them another chance if/when I get another 450. ,
