Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2
The first thing you need to do is charge the battery and become familiar with the owners manual. 2nd thing is to load ianwoods v4 profile as he discribes in the very first post of this thread. THEN bind to the P2's receiver. Then run the assistant software app and calibrate the transmitter.

You haven't flown your P2 at all yet? (with the stock controller)

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2
from ianwoods first post in this thread. You might want to go back and re-read it... carefully.
"Calibration and Confirmation
Your transmitter should now be configured to operate the Phantom 2. Turn on the transmitter and then your Phantom 2 (without the props for now!). You should have a solid green light on the Futaba receiver. If it's not green, or the Phantom is blinking fast yellow indicating it doesn't have a link, you may need to bind the transmitter with the receiver. If all is good, the next step is to connect the Phantom to the assistant software and check that each control is calibrated and working properly (important). Once this is done and working properly, you can button up your Phantom and go take it flying!"

Well... your other option is to not read and possibly crash your expensive P2.

Did you format the card in the transmitter first?

Doesn't anybody know where I could have switch labels made for this radio with ianwoods set-up. Would be nice to have.

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2
I used a Brother Label Maker but decided that wasn't good enough so I put shrink tubing in colors on the switches. Red was the IOC and GPS/ATTI/Failsafe, yellow for others and blue for others (choose your poison). Shrank it with a heat gun VERY carefully aimed while moving so it wasn't aiming towards the radio. Works very well. Be careful to avoid direct heat on the radio. The radio plastic seemed very sturdy but I wasn't taking any chances.

Click on the next available non-greyed out slot and then hit import.
Try that. Are you getting a list of numbers with no data on the fields?

Yes, as I remember the first 4 lines are grayed out. Use the 5th line (I think).
