I Need your help Jeti + Spirit 3 please

Hi all,
I just can't get it to work. I don't understand the channel assignments.
Jeti DC16 II,
Spirit 3
Programmed a new helicopter with Jeti ExBus.
The channel assignments aren't right

I can't find the mistake, and I'm starting to lose faith in the whole thing…
In the overview, the pitch and tail channels are swapped, even though I assigned them correctly. The rescue channel isn't right either.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Best regards,
Frank

Thanks a lot Gernot.
It helps to ask the pros...
I understand that I need to change the channels in the Jeti. For some reason, I thought I wasn't supposed to do that.
I'm also trying to assign the nose gyro sensitivity (the tail gyro is set, of course) to a switch so I can fly to that setting—will that work?
greets
Frank

Hi,
please do not change channel assignment, because out of stock it will work correctly.
So at both sides, channels will remain default and it will simply work with no other change.
In your radio create new model with Spirit enabled - see this page:

Hi, thanks for the feedback, but now I'm unfortunately confused
I set it up exactly like this.
so the channels on the Jeti DC-16 II are:
1: Throttle
2: Aileron
3: Elevator
4: Pitch
5: Rudder
6: Gyro
But in the Spirit software, Tail and Pitch are swapped.
BTW, I’ve also checked the servo cable connections

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Channel numbering at both sides can differ, important is where each function is mapped internally.
So as I said, it is best to completely remove any changes from channel layout, because if you proceed according guide, it will even not allow to change base channels in JETI and everything will work correctly.

Okay, great.
The default assignment is set, and I can't change it in jeti either. I've assigned the channels accordingly in Spirit.
That should work now.
I´ll give it a try.
Thanks for the help

Hm, may be I am to stupid...
I did a complete new setup with jeti + spirit. Here is the result
Rudder and pitch swapped, okay no problem, it´s working
Gyro not working and rescue channel 7 not working.
Can anyone help me? The servos are plugged in correctly
Thx
Frank
