Taranis OrangeRX and Sport Cub S

In order to get an OrangeRX module to work with a new Sport Cub S that I got for Christmas I had to do a few things.

1) Turn Switch 3 ON and leave Switch 4 OFF. This should put it into DSM2 mode.

2) Follow the instructions here:

It is about setting limits and directions and channel 5/6 for the mode/panic switch. It seems that the Ch5/6 stuff should not be set to 80% as noted in these instructions. I was not getting activation of the different modes when I had it set down to 80 but YMMV.

3) Bind normally

After that, it seems to work. Just make sure that the transmitter is on before plugging the battery in. I have to re-bind it sometimes to make it work.

Binding is just plugging in the plane with the transmitter off and then holding down the bind button when turning it on.
