I am having trouble setting the Blade 270 CFX with my Devo 8S with deviation v4.0.1 while it works without fail with a DX6i.
I used as template a model that works OK with the Blade 230S.
I can bind to the AR7210BX and it initialises.
I am having two problems:
First: Throttle isn't working. All the other channels are working but nothing happens with the throttle.
Second: I can't activate the trainer mode which is supposed to activate when I change the Gear Switch to 1. It may be related to the first problem because with the DX6i it can't be activated until the throttle has been up at least one time. The FMOD switch is working as expected.
Could you please take a look at my ini file to see if you can find the reason why throttle is not working?
Thanks.

You can also try to increase the Scale+- values to say 125%.

I increased the scale as suggested and the throttle is working now.
The second problem remains though.
How can I make this to toggle between normal mode and trainer mode?

GYRO
RATE SW_GYRO
0 65%
1 28%
But I don't think deviation has a variable gyro rate.

Other obvious difference is the values, but I don't know if that would matter.
I guess the DX6 values (28% and 65%) are on a 0..100% scale, so they would equal to -44% and +30%, which you can configure most easily using the DR&Expo template with the fixed function...

thanks again you've been very helpful.
I tried changing values and curves but no difference. So at the end I had to read the f. manual and you were right:
Specifications
Type: DSM® receiver and BEASTX® flybarless technology
Channels: 6–9 (8 channels are available, however, Channel 5 is only used as an
internal gain channel for the tail gyro/operating SAFE®).
Modulation: DSM2, DSMX
Main Receiver Dimensions: 36mm x 28mm x 13 mm/1.42 in x 1.1 in x .51 in
(Length x Width x Height)
Main Receiver Weight: 0.66 oz (18.6 g)
Voltage Range: 3.5 to 8.5V
Resolution: 2048
Frame Rate: 11ms
Compatibility: All DSM2 and DSMX aircraft transmitters and module systems
So I moved the operation of Gear1 to channel 5 and it is working now . Only remains to test it in the field but I can see that trainer mode is active.
The only thing that I am not sure if does anything at all is the code for channel 5 that I moved to channel 7

Although I still have to test it I attach the latest model should anyone need it.

Try to set the source of the Ch7 to None, and it will disappear, or simply delete that section from the file if it bothers you...

The test on the field revealed a problem with the rudder gain. The tail was doing continuous sudden movements both ways. I applied a three point curve with the values FDR calculated and it corrected,
Now it works great!
