I am completely new in the whole multi-rotor world and am having a real struggle with putting together my first Tricopter. I had purchased an HJ-Y3 kit from eBay and have been running into troubles with setting up my transmitter. I am using a Turnigy 9x Transmitter with the stock firmware and a Turnigy 9X8C v2 Receiver. I found a video on Youtube (link below) and was able to follow it dead on up until I hit the receiver wizard. I have been able to verify that the transmitter and the receiver are indeed paired, the receiver is showing a solid red light as stated in the IOM.

I created a fresh new profile on the transmitter using the transmitters "TYPE" setting Acro. The "MODULAT" setting on this transmitter is set to PPM, and the "STICK SET" setting on the transmitter is mode 2 and not inverted.

As for the wiring I followed the Youtube video linked below to the letter. The motors spun up fine in the set up wizard, but when I go into the transmitter wizard it tells me to move the throttle up and down and it seems no matter what settings I tinker with I cannot get the RC Input to give me any indication that I am moving the throttle up and down.

Here is the link I was using to put the kit together:


Here is a link to the eBay listing:

Does anyone have any suggestions or would be able to help me out here?

It would have helped if you had posted how the receiver is connected to the cc3d.  Expecting someone to watch a 20 minute video to see how you connected it is unreasonable.

I did skim the video but can't see how you could follow it for receiver wiring and setup since he's using a PPM receiver and you're using a PWM receiver.  Did you find instructions somewhere to put a 9X8C v2 receiver into PPM mode?  If not then at least four of the output channels need to be wired up, preferably all of them.  And you need to select PWM as the receiver type in the wizards.

One thing that trips up beginners is that the RC receiver must have power when doing the transmitter wizard in the GCS.  You can't just plug USB into the FC because the FC does not give USB power to the receiver.  You must also plug the flight battery in for your RC receiver to be powered.
