f450 & DX6i new model require rebind?

[linter]

i bought a used f450 w naza and gps, with a DX6i TX already set up to work with it. being a know-nothing about any of this, i can't tell how the previous owner set up the TX, so I thought I'd make a new model and program it according to this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOjGL2ASkQA. did that, but the tx now won't work the 450 -- no spool up and no love from the naza assistant. the original model worked fine, i can see it in the assistant and move the controls around. so what does that mean? do i have to bind the tx and rx again for the new model? if so, that's going to be a problem, because i don't have the binding plug that i think you need.

thanks much for any help you can offer!

To spool up have you tried moving your throttle and cyclic sticks to bottom left and bottom right respectively? That's the only way the motors will arm. You then have 3 secs to initiate throttle. Have a look in the manual Page 16, download from http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/naza/en/NAZA_User_Manual_v2.0_en.pdf

In my experience anytime you create a new model binding is required. I am not positive, but the bind plug appears to just jump the top and bottom pin. Never have tested making a homemade jumper.

Try this for your jumper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05-xo3qWOW0

"Hi, I'm Nina!" Loved her so much, I watched the whole thing. I'm a jumper-loving fool now. Thanks!

Meanwhile, new question ...

the used f450 came with the DX6i TX and the R6210 RX. But I also have a Flysky/Turnigy 9x with its stock RX. Given that the Turnigy has more channels, should I switch over to it? I gather neither rx has failsafe on board, so that's not a deciding factor. So, what would I gain? (And I don't plan to do any mods on the 9x.)

thanks!

IMO you gain channels you may not use. "I" would wait and see if you decide you want to add things. I am using an AR8000 and have open channels. I do have LEDs turned on by the RX though.

thanks -- that makes sense to me.

meanwhile, could someone have a look at the link in my first post, about one guy's way to set up naza and failsafe using heli mode instead of acro, which i gather is how most people do it. does his way look okay?
