When you buy the HT8 module to use it with the 9x radios you get 3 cables in the pack.

My module has an internal battery (V3) but I dont wanna to charge it every flight . If you want to use the cable included in the pack you must modify the 9x power connector…

SKU059200.-1

But….there’s a easy way to power the HT8 using only one cable….

HT8 custom cable1

You only need to make a cable like above using this schem….

On the 9x the white cable goes to the FIRST pin. As you can see there’s a cross (red-black)

Finished

HT8_9x 2 HT8_9x 1 HT8_9x 4 HT8_9x 3

Take care about the position, marking the connectors with labels would be a good idea.. and if your HT8 has an internal battery DONT SWITCH THE POWER ON THE HT8

IMPORTANT TIP:

REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE HT8, OTHERWISE YOU COULD EXPERIMENT GLITCHES AND LOOSE OF THE BIND .MY HELI BECOMES UNSTABLE AND LAZY (TOOOOOOOOO MUCH LAGGGGG)

I don’t know why but my HT8 doenst works properly with the battery on, even with the switch off…..

  1. Hi, nice blog as right on my current interest 🙂 V911 and turnigy 9x and looking for a 6 ch soon.. Quick questions for you : have you been able to use the Ht8 module with the stock firmware or is it mandatory to flash the controller ? are you happy with the fly performance of the FBL 80 ? For a first 6ch would you advise the V922 or the FBL80 ?

    neat post

    Thx 🙂

  2. Hi sorry for the delay….

    Thanks for your words 😉 !

    I’ve not tried it whitht the stock firmware but as far as i know it should work too, you only need to create a model following the same parameters you’ll find in Google. I’m gonna put them soon.

    I dont have a FBL80, I’ve a V922 and I’m really happy with the Heli !!! i suggest you to buy the V922 instead of the FBL80 since V922 have a lot of compatible parts and upgrades like the MCPx and FBL100.

    🙂

    Cheers

  4. Hi Guillaume,

    Here’s a link to my V922 setup print out.

    If you want you can try to enter the paremeters on your stock radio manually but i think modding the 9x with the Er9x it’s the easy way…Upon flashed your radio with the Er9x you can use companion9x to upload / download / modify models to/into your radio as well as firmware updating.

    If you need help with the radio flashing just let me know.

    Cheers.

  5. Hi, what firmware do you have in your TG9x? I`m looking for Open9X setup for HT8 + V922.
    Thanks.

    • Hi ddano007, currently I’m using the Er9x, I found it more easy when loading the posted programs from the forums whith this firmware but you can use Open9x too. If you’re planning to make your custom programs, i mean, start from 0, you can use both of them but if you want to try other programs go for the Er9x because it’s the most common.

      Good Luck 😉

      • Thanks solmer2, I found some setup for ER9x, but not working in my TX … Maybe two questions:
        1, what channel order do you use?
        2, do you use swashmix in TX or it is done by v922 control board?

      • Hi ddano007 !

        The channel order is AETR.
        The swashmix it’s done on the TX.

        Anyway I’ve uploaded 2 files (setups)

        HT8 (Common setup for the V922)
        Mellow (A setup for beginners, no negative pitch, just to fly like a 4Ch heli)

        Good luck 😉
