Fly Sky FS-TH9X 9Ch
Overview
The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is an excellent radio for the price. If you are on a limited budget and looking to upgrade to 2.4 GHz then I highly recommend you take a look at it. At under $100 for a complete combo it doesn't really matter if you knock or drop it.Actions | |

The 2.4 GHz price wars are really heating up at the moment now that many Chinese manufacturers have entered the market. For the past few years there have been various 2.4 GHz modules coming out of China, with some decent offering from Corona and Assan, now it seems like the Chinese want to make a name for themselves by offering full systems. The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is the first offering that I decided to check out.
I am a diehard Futaba Fasst fan but I am tired of having to sell a kidney or take out a second mortgage every time I have to buy a new receiver for my fleet. The Fly Sky offerings drew my attention with their sub $20 receivers. The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is offered under various brand names but it is basically the same transmitter.
Specifications
The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is modular system, so specifications may vary depending on the module you select. The transmitter itself is loaded with features, some of which you will usually only find on some high end transmitters.
- Number of Channels: 8ch PPM/9ch PCM
- Display: 128*64 LCD
- Support Type: Heli/Acro/Glid
- User Models: 8
- Stick Modes: 4
- Encoder Type: PPM/PCM
- Sub Trim: Yes
- Simulator Interface: Yes
- Buzzer: Yes
- Low Voltage Display: Yes
The menus are clearly and easy to navigate using the 128×64 pixel LCD display. The only issue I had was that the +/- buttons are back to front with the positive on the left.
First Look
When the package arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the attention of detail that Fly Sky went to. Everything looked very professional, that was until I saw the manual. Let me start by saying that the manual is probably the worst Chinglish I have ever seen, luckily the transmitter is easy enough to program without it.
The actual layout of the transmitter is quite nice too; there is a vast array of switches for selecting rates, gear, trainer-mode, flight modes, etc. These are complimented by three knobs which serve for flaps, hover pitch, etc.
From online reports I know that the quality control for these transmitters can vary greatly. The first one I received simply wouldn’t allow me to access the menus. The second one has been with me for a few months now and is still going strong.
One major thing to note is that the amount of channels will vary depending on whether you use PPM or PCM. Switching to PPM reduces the number of available channels to only 8.
Setup
The package that I purchased included the transmitter and transmitter module but no receivers. Luckily I had planned ahead and ordered both the 6 channel and 8 channel receivers from Hobby King. One you have everything the setup is extremely easy. Simply bind the receiver to the transmitter by putting the bind plug in the receiver and powering on your transmitter while holding in the bind button. All the receivers I bought were bound without any problems.
Once you have bound the receiver to the radio, it’s time to program the radio to suit your model. Pay careful attention to servo reversing and also the transmitter’s mode selection.
Flight Testing
And now we will move on to the actual performance. I wasn’t expecting too much from this transmitter, so I was pleasantly surprised by its excellent performance. I could easily fly my helicopter to the very limits of my vision without any glitches. On a 450 size helicopter that means I could take it out about 300 metres on a 500 size helicopter I was able to go to nearly 400 metres before I started to get nervous, not because of the transmitters performance but rather because it became difficult to tell the orientation of the model. The first few flights I was actually expecting glitches, so I only used it on a few electric powered helicopters but now I feel comfortable enough to use it on my whole fleet.
Conclusion
The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is an excellent radio for the price. If you are on a limited budget and looking to upgrade to 2.4 GHz then I highly recommend you take a look at it. If you already have a Futaba/JR/Hitec radio then this will make an excellent backup or get up and go radio. At under $100 for a complete combo it doesn’t really matter if you knock or drop it.
One major problem is that when you are using PPM the 8 Channels means there is a lack of a failsafe option. This might prove a problem if you are flying very fast or dangerous models. But for smaller helicopters and aircraft I don’t see this being a big consideration.
Positives
- Affordable
- Easy to Program
- Module Flexibility
Negatives
- No Failsafe
- Only 8 Model Memories
- Quality Control Issues
As I said earlier, the Fly Sky FS-TH9X is available under various brands, Imax, Turnigy, Eurgle etc. Hobby King ‘s Turnigy 9X is now in its 3rd revision and at under $70 I highly recommend you check it out.

It is possiblem just get a usb adapter which will make it work plug and play
Is it possible to use a phoenix V4 sim.with this skyfly FS-TH9X ?
I tried with mine and it doesn’t work..
Just got one of these Turnigy 9x transmitters after my Hitec Eclipse 7 packed in.I must say that I am over the moon with it.I’ts probably the best TX I’ve ever had,and I’ve had a few over the years.Futaba,Hitec etc.I fly helis and fixed wing and it caters for both superbly.No trouble at all programming it for all my models,and that’s without a manual,although I can see a newbie would be totally lost.The only bad things are,the beep when inputting data is too loud and drives you nuts after a bit,there isn’t a rechargeable battery pack supplied,and the display isn’t backlit,but hey,for 65 squids I can live with that.It’s a superb bit of kit.
check that you do not have the throttle cut knob on the left side set low as this will upset throttle control. Wind it up to full.
A few friends of mine decided against my advice to purchase the Turnigy 9x/Fs-th9x tx MODE 2 V2 from Hobbyking ( which took over two weeks and item was instock) and Hobbypartz ( great shipping time less than a week)…..a few days later as they were testing the transmitter on their Helis which they built -they informed me that WHEN the TX is set to MODE 2 . LEFT ( stick shows 3&4 throttle / Rudder) heli spools up as it should BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS the RIGHT (stick 1&2 ELEV/Aerol /pitch ) to apply and control throttle when you push forward throttle decreases and when you pull back the stick the throttle speed increases ( ON THE RIGHT STICK ???) which should only control elev,pitc, left/right …….AND YOU CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY with the left stick ( which should be the only THROTTLE STICK TO FUNCTION PROPERLY and shut down the heli….. after contacting several rc pilots each having over 10 years experience in the hobby take a look at this I also saw with my own eyes this TX is unreliable and pure crapp ,its crazy…..DO NOT BUY THIS S#*&&Y TRANSMITTER YOU WILL REGRETT IT save your $ and get a Spectrum, Futaba, Jr etc…..it may take you awhile but at LEAST you will have a RELIABLE TRANSMITTER that performs as advertised….to SOLENTLIFE read this…..I GUESS YOUR 99.99% PROBABILITY THAT THE USER HAS MADE THE ERROR AND THE 9X IS NOT AT FAULT IS BULLCRAPP TOO along with your condesending, arrogant attitude….THATS A REALLY GOOD ASSESSMENT FROM WHAT WE’VE WITNESSED… SO WHATS THE CHANCE OF FOUR GUYS GETTING THE EXACT SAME TRANSMITTER FS-TH9X. MODE 2, TURNIGY 9X MODE2 ETC… and they all HAVE THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTION /FAILURE TO OPERATE AS ADVERTISE….
now the guys have tried everything to get the problem resolved, advice from the online rc store they puchased them from they have’nt been ABLE TO CONTACT THEM SINCE, NO ONE WILL TAKE THIER CALLS, give the run a round anything but the right thing……NOW THEY KNOW TO NEVER BUY this BRAND TRANSMITTER AGAIN….WHAT A PIECE OF CRAPP. NOT EVEN WORTH THE SMALL AMOUNT THEY SELL IT FOR.,,,,DISMISSED F/E/S
After Months of trail and error, starting over reprogramming the Fs-Th9x – over and over gaining advice, suggestions from rc pilots w/ more than10 years experience …anyone who would shed information on this TX and that information be VALID and EFFECTIVE. I have FINALLY managed to get this Tx working Properly as It SHOULD AND IS ADVERTISED (However I continue to have reservations and AM NOT TOTALLY CONVINCED, or TRUST this Transmitter…as of yet ) I have over 3 years experience in RC Helis . I have a T-REX CLONE HK450 pro that I have BUILT solely for testing with this Tx good components Engine, Servos,Esc, li-po battery etc …average cost for build approximately $ 250.00 . as I test and re-test its performance w/ this Tx until I’m satisfied . I keep my Walkera 2801 Pro Tx w/ 2 extra rx and Spectrum DX7 w/2 extra rx reserved for use w/ my CopterX 450 se cf, CopterX 450 ae cf and a EXI 450 pro cf on standby in case of emergencies. I enjoy Scale Heli’s – i’m planning to transform my EXI 450 pro into a scale heli in the near future Uh-1n , Agusta A119 come to mind. I enjoy realistic flight as my personal preference. just because this Tx was $ 90.00 does’nt mean it should NOT Work as advertised anything less is a RIPOFF-most people would have used their $ 90.00 TOWARDS a BETTER Tx over time until they can buy a really good quality tx …i realize that we rc Heli pilots want to get flying time as much as possible we, Including myself JUMP at a BARGAIN ( especially in this economy ) but the LEAST they can do is produce a decent product that perform as advertised -Three months Later I’m just USING/ TESTING this Transmitter w/ some regrets it should not have taken this long just to get this transmitter BASIC SET-UP to work CORRECTLY.
I AGREE w/ Leslie the Fs-Th9x is a CRAPPY Transmitter as far as its FUNCTIONALLY GOES ,everything else about this Tx is great- upon further testing my opinion may change in time.
After a great deal of thought, trail and error I’ve managed to get this Transmitter working like it is supposed to – I have succeeded in switching from mode 1 to mode 2 with actual diagram Indicates on ( LEFT STICK Ch 3 & 4 ) as it should be – and diagram indicates on ( right STICK Ch 1&2 )….this was Very Difficult to accomplish. Now the Problem is that the Throttle Stick ( LEFT STICK Ch 3 & 4 ) Apparently It is reversed ,when It is at the 12 O CLOCK position it SHOULD BE FULL THROTTLE …guess what ! IT is the reverse of that—- As I move the throttle slowly Down it Increases in Power ……… ??? ….i Have TRIED REVERSE THROTTLE and IT does’nt work AT ALL …what else can go WRONG w/ this Transmitter.? If ANYONE ELSE has encountered this please advise me on a SOLUTION if Available it will be greatly Appreciated…….Please do not cut and paste any part of my paragraph as i have EXPLAINED IT by sending it back to me you would only be stating the Obvious, Hopefully Someone out there has a Solution, at LEAST I HOPE SO. Thank you
Keep trying to set rev on throttle, some times it takes several tries to get it to stick. Sometimes the prog is wrong and it will not work, in that case reprogram it yourself or get the seller to fix it. Turnigy reprograms their own tx, (they say) and sometimes it does not work, I reprogrammed my tx with a smartieparts board, (which can have connection problems that are fixed by cleaning the connections).Switches bounce, and this equiptment is only low cost stuff anyway.
I’ve been watching and reading these posts about failing to swap over the 9x … which in fact is a simple exercise and takes just a few minutes to do.
The usual problem that owners get is that for some reason, on some menu commands it needs a long press of the MENU button to accept a change or on some a quick press ..
With this reverse change – you look at the screen and there are the little bars and black segments. You reverse the ch and the segment swaps sides. Fine. Now you have to CONFIRM the change by pressing MENU button BEFORE exit. If you do not CONFIM – it reverts back to previous without you knowing …
I can only draw people to another forum as well that compliments this one and is an owners site to help each other get the best : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Flysky_RC_radio/

Hey.. i Bought a TH9X about a few month back.. But one day i pluged the battery wrongly “red to black and black to red”.. so the chip inside the remote are burning and some smoke come out from it.. and i cant be turn on after that.. And i open the 9x and looked at the chip.. yup it has some burned damage on it.. And i do some research and look for the chip name.. and i found it.. Just want to know whether it correct or not.. The chip Name is “22″

changing the stick set up……maybe I can help…hold down the MENU key…screen should show SYSTEM SETTING with transmitter highlighted….press MENU again…press down key to STICK SET is highlighted…press MENU again….press down key to MODE 2 is highlighted….(should show 1&2 on the right stick and 3&4 on the left stick….then just guick press the MENU key again to set you selection to MODE 2…..it worked for me…..Kris.
Hello Kris …..I appreciate your assistance on this matter even though It did’nt solve the issue : >( Again I followed your suggestion and videos online , youtube videos to be exact step by step for the 100 + time and the stick set diagram shows mode 2 (highlighted) w/ the 3 & 4 ( Throttle & rudder ) showing on the left stick diagram and the 1 & 2 ( Ail,ele.pitch) on the right diagram ….still no joy.after connecting Batt w this setting right diagram stick shows mode 2 yet IT CONTROLS swash movement up,dwn and servo left & right ??? right stick should control ( Ail,ele.pitch) and servos ) for MODE 2 —— left stick should control Swash up dwn throttle and rudder……WHEN I switch it to Mode 1 (highlighted) the diagram shows 4&2 on the LEFT STICK yet the swash moves up ,dwn and RUDDER moves Left and Right as it SHOULD …. RIGHT STICK DIAGRAM SHOWS 1 and 3 YET it CONTROLS servos ( Ail,ele.pitch) servos LEFT, RIGHT swash up,dwn …….motor will Not start even w/ throttle swith Off….this is very frustrating….what a waste…..I’m In California with perfect Flying weather and I can’t even get to test Gyro, rate mode, HH or simple Hover because of this fs-th9x CRAP —– I’m going to try a few more times and If I can’t get this solved set up correctly I’ll get rid of this TX and just like others who have wasted time and $$$ on fs-th9x Never Again buy their Crap…..I Feel just as ” tjohnson123 says ” a new tx a USELESS PAPERWEIGHT……I’LL Stay w, CopterX 450 sE, CopterX 450 aE w RELIABLE Walkera 2801 Pro TX,,Rx….NO glitches, great range great Price High Quality Check It Out!!! …..WOWHOBBIES.COM and doesn’t take over two weeks to get what You pay for especially if you’re in the US..I guess thats what Iget for wanting to try something New.I’ll only deal with Helidirect, Wowhby and a few others for now…
Thanks alot Kris —best regards, Randall
check out my new posts….they might help with your problem.
Kris
Thanks for your help …I’m aware of Mikeysrc.com, I used his youtube video Lessons on how to set up fs-TH9x 450 and 500 size helis i used all of his video from start #1 to video # 14 , and 15 which covers final settings and Gyro rate + Heading hold ….everything else has worked out -I built a EXI 450 PRO carbon fiber from ARF ( xheli) since the build after following his set up procedure binding tx, no problem , loctite (first thing), servos, esc, motor, blade tracking, set Pitch, wiring etc….my bird looks better than most RTF kits from the factory thats how much pride, time and attention to detail I used- I also used videos from Rchelicopterfun.com + Hobbypartz.com …so you can imagine my frustration when I try to finish my build I encounter this ONE issue that I’m faced with ****Mode Change from 1 to 2 ***** …lol, I’ll take a break a few days will do. get some flying in on my CopterX 450 se :>)..If things don’t get better pretty soon I’ll get a Walkera 2801 rx $38.00 for my WK 2801 pro Transmitter( 8 MODEL memory ) I use w/ my CptrX 450se cf – as a last resort…maybe I’ll sell this fs-Th9x ??? after all Its Brand New—Thanks again Kris.

Sorry to say this – but 99.999% of troubles like this are actually operator error not the 9x.
There are two distinct operations to swap Mode 1 to Mode 2 .. that’s physical parts and then via the Menu to tell it DIGITALLY it’s swapped over. BUT that ch change has to be CONFIRMED by pressing menu button BEFORE exiting the program reverse screen.
Many people fail to do this and then wonder why the sticks are still as previous.
The golden rule is CONFIRM each action at the time you do it – NOT as a total of all changes at exit.

Hello solentlife, I just read your comment and it sort of bothered me…operator error? How many times have I too had to also CONFIRM the swap from Mode 1 to Mode 2 which INDEED change BUT I get elevator movements as I would get with throttle, the swashplate going up and down level. I tried leaving this like this and reversing my pitch and aileron servos but what I get is small pitch movements, I dont know it is not working properly, I will seek an exchange as I know this is not working right. Even when I go to throttle curve as I move the throttle up the Indicator bar should move all the way to H (High) and it just moves to the middle of 2 and 3. This radio is king of crappy!

When you use the Encoder type PCM with 9 channels receiver its give a craze respond, all the parts will start moving without control even the electric motor start running automatically no control , but if you changed to PPM (FM) its work fine , but the maximum range will be only around 100 meter, are there any other way to use PCM?
I am having the same problem with trying to get the system to work in the PCM mode, the receiver binds, the ESC gives out the correct beeps but all the servos extend to max and gitter until I unplug the bat. Will this system even work on the PCM mode?? works great in the PPM mode but I would rather be in the PCM mode that’s why I got this system. I am using the receiver that came with the tx, I bought an extra receiver and it works just like the one that came with the tx…need some help!!!
It would be best not to use PCM mode. especially without the proper receiver. Switch to FrSky for failsafe, need new rx and tx module,but you can add telemetering.
I am having very good results with this tx using FRsky modules and rx. Telemetering and failsafe work well and I have changed out the cpu for atmega128 and installed a hobbyking backlight as well. I have been flying for a year with this equiptment (kit) and have no trouble that is not pilot error.
my battery voltage reads nearly a full volt lower than actual and consequently starts beeping when i still have 10.5 volts. is there a way to adjust the setting?
I am very satisfied with my purchase, but I search the cable training, and also the cable to go with the command 8 jostick suposer go but with no cable so it can quelqun m, help
Resources like the one anyone mentioned the following will be beneficial to me! I will post a web link to this page about my own blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very helpful.
yes you can use this with realflight sim , ” error means” you dont have all switch’s up or back
yes you can use this with realflight sim , ” error means” you dot have all switch up or back
When my transmitter provides a short beep and gives the display label switch error, what should I do
I get the same thing, ask company for RMA? (send back).
unit working w/all switches up
can we practice real flight G5 game using FS-TH9X by connecting USB to the computer. If any one knows please tell me…..
I want to express my disappointment with Hobby Partz. I purchased a Fly Sky 9 channel from them. Yes it was available elsewhere for less but with shipping about the same. This is my 3rd purchase with them. I have been flying for over 25 years. I had to wait three weeks after arrival of the radio for an ESC. After receiving the speed control I tried to use the system. The receiver was NOT bound to the transmitter nor would it. I ordered another receiver thinking I had installed the power plug incorrectly and caused it to fail. I paid 23 dollars extra for 2 day UPS delivery. The new one did not work either. I placed a trouble ticket with them and waited a day and no response. I called the next day and was on hold for 20 minutes. Finally someone took my call and we went through the motions with BOTH receivers and they would not bind. I was promised an RMA number within hours. After waiting a day I called back. I was told my purchase was now 2 DAYS over their return policy.
Now I have a brand new radio and two useless receivers. Never again.
Sorry to here you had such a bad experience with them. Maybe they will read this and reach out to right things. If it were my company and I read this I would. People learn who to trust and who not to from such stories.
Hello tjohnson ,
I had a hard time with binding the receivers also, until I did it with the bind plug in the port marked ” battery ” not in the bind port . Try to bind them again ,this time plug the battery in port 1,2 or 3 and the “bind plug” in the second port from the top marked battery . This was the only way I could bind any of the receivers I have with this system .
Step # 1 plug in the bind plug ,to “battery port” of receiver .
# 2 push and hold the” bind button “on the back of transmitter ,with the button held in turn on the transmitter
# 3 plug in your battery to receiver , in any port from # 1 to # 3
You should see a flashing light on the receiver that stop flashing when it is bound .
Hope this helps ?
Regards len
The markings are supposed to be for the second port marked bat, which has the bind connection. This has been changed on later receivers to have both connected so either will work.Just check with an ohmmeter and you can see this.
Can you give us a little more info , is it new ,is the battery charged ,did you drop it ,did you move or change the battery plug, checked to see if the battery is plugged in, did the switch seem like it worked , last but not least , did you turn it on , will it light up ?
Sorry I had to ask ! you did not give up much info !
my FS-TH9X dont turn on help me
Ive been trying to set this tx up with my erazor450 inhavent been able to program it properly pitch is all twisted up only getting updraft no down damn thing wont lift off the ground for nothing…please i need some expert advise someone who really understands 6ch cp helis. And the proper setup for an erazor450 encluding swash set up. HELP! I have never been able to fly this beautiful bird..(9mth ownership)
Hi Jeremiah,
Here is some diagrams explaining Pitch curve:
http://forum.heliguy.com/pitch-curves-the-basics-t3082.html
You might want to try post a specific question to one of the forums (rcgroups for instance).
There is a group dedicated to this radio … to help all … there is actually a 450 Heli CP set-up on there ….. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Flysky_RC_radio/
this is a good radio fs th9x lots of features i bought a exceed w 2602 radio i cant use it coz the rx is cos more fs th9x i flu my 36 in. slow fly wing i cant almost see it, idont have any problem no glicht at all i bought 6 rx r6b, it bind no problem. i also mod the batt.work ok ,
I bought this from China and it’s OK to have in the USA.
I seen alot of people have them.
mine works fine.
hi im bob i think its bad
Hi
This transmitter is compatible with Fs-R6B receiver?
Thanks
Regards
Yes,, I think so, but only if you have TM002 Tx module …
Hi
( lets hope)
Thanks for your attetion Mr Adam , i bought it from Leaderhobby , i think TM002 Tx module is included
Now what battery would you sugest?
Thanks in addvance
Battery for the Fs-R6B Fs-R6B receiver? I couldn’t recommend one, I don’t know much about that receiver.
I mean for the radio , a 3s 2200mha?
tnx a lot frend
could you expand on the •Simulator Interface: Yes please
Switch is broken…thats y n work
Are you sure ? Switch Error is a common problem where one or more switches when you turn on is not at default position.
Front switches should be fully UP … top switches should be fully BACK ….
The funny thing is … even if switch is disabled in menu – it still does this.
It’s not only the FS that has this Switch Error …. my other 2.4Ghz gear also does the same … my Heli EH radio shows MIX in the screen if I have a switch wrong – usually the throttle hold – where I use it to disable motor when connecting / disconnecting battery pack.
When i turn on the unit…it only reads switch error….whats wrong?………
When i turn on the unit…it only reads switch error….whats wrong?
How does this compare to the Futaba models
Lets be honest – if you can afford a Futaba – why are you looking at this ?
But I would say this … with the FS 9X – you will have far more functions, mixes, possibilities than with any of the budget, low to mid range Futaba / Jr / Sanwa / Hitec etc. gear. The question really is – can you live with the FS 9X and it’s possible lower quality control ?
I would buy a Futaba or JR if I want quality and had the money … but I don’t have and I therefore buy the FS 9X and very happy with it.
I do have to admit that I swapped out the FS module and fitted FrSky module / Rx … for 2 reasons … my Old 1980′s JR can use the FrSky module and also I had some strange glitches when using the FS module / Rx … I do not say the FS module / Rx was at fault. I just swapped out as much as possible to eliminate all possibilities.
Hi Nigel,what kind of Frsky module did you fit. I have a
Frsky DF Combo will it fit the Fly DKY FS-TH9X radio I dont have the radio yet.Regards Allan.
I have a JR 8103. Can I use the module FS-TM002 with this radio? If it does work, will I be able to bind it with micro heli’s Great Wall Xieda 9958 / HobbyKing HK-190? The Turnigy 9x TX is able to bind with these.
Your quick response would be highly appreciated.
Sameer
The manual is not very good and hard to figure out. Does anyone know how to program fixing of the servos? I have an airplane that flys by mixing and can not figure it out. thanks.
push all switch’s up and or back .should work.
Hi..help me pls. I have the problem with the “SWITCH ERROR” I try many time to push all of the switch to the front and turn on the switch but it can’t solve the problem what should i do..thanks for the answer..
this happen while i’m firstly ‘on’ the rc at home..
i wants ask why when i open the switch,the display shown “switch error”??can anybody help me to solve this problem??
If you go back through the posts here – you will find this ame question repeated many times … the answer is that you have one or more switches NOT in default position.
All switches on front should be UP, all switches on top should be BACK … once that – then Tx will boot up without error.
I recently purchased flysky 9x with receiver. I am new to this. What funtion on the transmitter controls which channel on the receiver? I am unable to gert a response from several channels. any help?
The first 4 ch’s are assigned at factory … that’s usually :
Ch1 = aileron
Ch2 = elevator
Ch3 = throttle / ESC
Ch4 = rudder
Ch5 and up are assigned by you via the AUX item in menu. You wqould usually have landing gear on Ch5 …
Reason for this is to allow you to assign / mix / program specifically for your model. Note that each model memory can have different aux ch assignments so it is for EACh memory that this applies.
try to re-bind the receiver, if that don’t work ,make sure the channel you pick for the flaps is activated .
also watch the light on the reciever , see if it blink’s, when you flip the switch or at all ?
blinking is in binding mode.
it should stay on steady when ready to fly .
hope this helps ? or better yet you have allready fixed it

When i connect the flap to channel 5 or 6, and operate the gear/flap switch all servo starts to work out of control and the motor running by itself. It stop if I raised back the flap-switch. Any idea why this happens? Thaks for your suggestion.
Sounds like an errant servo … have you tried a different servo in the Ch. 5 / 6 position ?
Main thing that many people forget is that the Tx comes as only first 4 ch’s activated … all AUX ch’s have to be activated by user in the menu. This is because each user will choose different configs to another. For example – I have my Flaps infinitely adjustable via the front left rotary knob. I don’t like stepped deployment.
