Are you using the stock receiver? Did you have any issue with feedback from your speaker?

In mode two you need to put the lead from the channel two pins coming off the ibu into channel 1 and channel 1 comming off the ibu into two in the receiver, 3 into 3 and 4 into 4. Make sure nothing's reversed on the tx and let me know what happens

Ok. Just wondering. Mine makes a loud beeping noise. I unplugged the servos to see if they was the cause but it still happens even without them. I should probably try to post a video.

ok drum role please..............

THE FIX

went into the sd card
went to channel 1 inverse
and changed it to TRUE
went to transmitter
reversed the forward/reverse on it
now same speed both directions.

now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this backwards?

And i still cant get this stupid beeping out of my speaker.

Beeping is a bad sign. sounds like the IBU's audio Amp is busy dying. Or worse, the logical unit /cpu. The wonky controls and the impossibility to fix it without jumping through hoops is bad news.

If I were You, I'd get the thing back to the supplier asap.

Are you using servo recoil/elevation/traverse?

I've found this sort of noise is usually caused by an unhappy/stalled servo. I suspect the issue with the controls are a combination of radio/plugs/card settings and is something that could be solved easily in person but difficult to do via PC.

Ah. I thought the servos was the culprit also. So I unplugged them and did the movements without them installed and the noise is still present.
