Hi Peter, I am well thanks. I have asked Bigaole this question before, but due to it being their proprietary information they are not able to publish the spec on the GPS, so I can't tell you of a compatible replacement.

@@madrc6667 Ok Michael, thanks for your time. Regards, Pete

G'day Stephen, Theoretically you could use a 2 posisitons to output the signal to the receiver for off and RTH modes. I have done similat things on a old Hobby King transmitter that didn't have a 3 pos. Your transmitter will need to be programmable to ensure the switch output is in the rage of the modes that you want. Cheers Michael

@@madrc6667 Thank you, I'll dive into it!

G'day Philip, yes mate. Compatible with the Spektrum radios. It is advisable to check the receiver you choose is capable of programming the failsafe setting though. I believe some Spektrum receivers only limited option on failsafe, and won't allow you to ensure the RTH channel is engaged if you loose radio signal

Sorry it took so long to reply. Unique Models, the manufacturer of the plane that I was selling, does not seem to exist any longer. The planes could be sold under the Hookll brand through Banggood, but they don't seem to sell spares. I hope this helps a little.

G'day Terry. Switching to RTH on a failsafe is a function of the receiver. I'd you are using an FrSky just make sure to put the switch to RTH mode when you set failsafe. Cheers Michael

MAD RC thank you very much Michael. That makes a lot of sense. 👍

The FSi6x does have a three position switch. When it arrives I would suggest you check out some vids on how to program that transmitter. There are plenty on UA-cam. It is quite a popular transmitter. Good luck.

@@madrc6667 thanks. Yeah I've owned 3 of them but couldn't remember if it had a 3 pos switch lol. Thanks btw. Quick question regarding fail safe. Do I have to set up fail through the radio? Or just set RTH on the switch? (along with off and stability of course)

@@Shinobi117 fail-safe is the function of the receiver. So however you'd set fail-safe normally, make sure you include the fail-safe to switch the BGL to RTH mode.

@@madrc6667 excellent I totally understand now. Thank you so much. Stay safe!!!

Hi John, Sorry mate, I don't really know the Spektrum gear very well, but I helped a fellow pilot a while back to set his gear up. One of his planes had the full set, Ailerons, Flaps, Gear and all of it was setup on a DX8 G2 with no conflicts. I did a few videos for him, but they are not listed. I think if you use this link - ua-cam.com/video/bzzRdmjNsaQ/v-deo.html you should see the physical setup of the receiver and connections to the flight controller and servos mocked up. If you use this link - ua-cam.com/video/bzzRdmjNsaQ/v-deo.html you should see a detailed explanation of the radio setup. The videos are in context of setting up someones gear and explaining what I have done, so you might have to go through some details not pertinent to the flaps, but the details are all in there somewhere. I hope it helps. Cheers Michael

G'day John The set button is used during the setup, but primarily is used to set the home position. It is important to do that the first time you fly and again every time you fly at a new location. Cheers Michael

Hi John, the stabilisation is in effect Auto Level. It will limit roll and pitch as well as return the plane to level flight when you take your hands off the stick. There is an adjustment on the unit that increases or decreases the sensitivity of the auto level. When you are looking at stabilisation from something like your AR636, they will allow you to fly unlimited but reduce the affect from the wind. They will work together, but I'd suggest programming your radio to have all the modes seperate. Off - Stabilisation - Auto Level - Return to Home. Cheers Michael

G'day Wiktor, this unit can not connect to the vtx to display any flight information. You will need a separate OSD like a Remzibi or minimOSD. Cheers Michael

Same here! Very useful video. I would caution to be careful adjusting the little gain knobs. They are very delicate.

G'day William, I only have the complete units. You may be able to make one from a regular servo extension, just modify one end to split out to the other connections needed. Cheers Michael

G'day Murat, this unit does not include an OSD. However, I am hopeful that Bigaole will release a new updated unit that will. If they do, I will include on my eBay store and make some new videos too. Cheers Michael

That is correct. When you fly at a new location simply press and hold the SET button until the red LED goes solid, you have set a new home point.

Hi Shaheed, like I said over in the RCGroups thread - You need to connect the actual servos from the receiver to the BGL-6G. There is no SBUS. Cheers Michael

Okay, thank you!

I figured it out! Had to redo the stabilization initialization and adjust the AIL and ELE dials. Watched your vid again for the 5th time! HaHa. Thanks again!

@@rossagge Great news!

Sounds like the surfaces are reversed. On the ground. Roll the left wing down left surface should go down. And vice versa. It is easy to get confused. If it is the case, and you reverse the flight controller to correct the situation, make sure to swap the direction of the transmitter to compensate for the change in the controller. Cheers Michael

@@madrc6667 Thanks Michael, I need to slap myself. The AP control throws were indeed, reversed. From now on, I'm going to stand BEHIND the model and watch which way the surfaces move.

@@spthompson6501 Easy mistake and one I have done myself. Glad it is sorted! Cheers Michael

@@madrc6667 Thanks Michael, all sorted! The stab and RTH now works perfectly! I notice that I have very little control in stab-mode. The model just flies straight-&-level no worries, but it takes almost full stick movements to make the model respond. It's a bit disconcerting. Do I have the gains set too high, or too low? Cheers! Paul.

@@spthompson6501 some gain adjustment will give you more movement on the surfaces, but if you add too much then there is a the unit will over correct plane and send it into a spiral dive. So, if you're going to make adjustments to add more movement, do a little at a time and then test at a good height to give you enough time to switch off and recover. I would suggest less movement is good in auto level mode. If you need more responsiveness from the plane, fly with the unit off. Cheers Michael

I have a Taranis qx7 if that helps

@@holaperrito2554 Hi Shaheed, The throttle is really a personal preference. Some people do not want to have any throttle on fail safe because it might go off on the ground. But if you do want to set it , you need to know how much throttle is needed for the plane you are flying. Once you know how much, take off the prop, turn on the transmitter and set the switches and throttle stick the required position and press the failsafe button on the receiver to record the outputs. There should be a lot of videos for you on UA-cam for setting failsafe. Always take off the prop when doing this. Cheers Michael

Hi, this is not correct. There is no need for the transmitter or receiver to 'have support for GPS'. The only thing that you may wish to consider is that your receiver has the ability to program the failsafe option, so you can ensure the RTH is engaged if you fly our of radio range. This sort of feature is available on most radios. Some radios only failsafe to the last input if the plane flies too far away. Cheers Michael

@@madrc6667 Thanks excuse. my ignorance on the matter new to GPS I'm guessing that the reason this will not work for me is because the flying fx-I6 receiver does not support rth and that is a question thanks

@@TheIsenberg Each mode of the flight controller will work fine on the FX-i6 when you program a three position switch. The thing that you might need to research is if you can program/set a specific failsafe on the receiver for the FX-i6. The flight controller does not have any dependency on the receiver for the RTH.

G'day Kiwi, No problem, just add the rudder channel to the AIL channel of the Auto Pilot. And the elevator to the elevator too, of course. Good luck, Cheers Michael

Thanks mate! I appreciate that you have taken the time to let me know too.

G'day Bruce, from the description it sounds like you've done it all correctly. But, I would suggest that you may be best served if you start a fresh model in your Taranis (no mixes) and maybe run through the set up again - ua-cam.com/video/FykE6QWcaMg/v-deo.html The only thing that I can think of that might be affecting the output of the Bigaole is if there is any of the old mix in the radio. If all else fails, go back to the (fresh) start and try again. I hope that helps, let us know how you go. Cheers Michael

No, simply attach ailerons servo and elevator servo plus the switch control. Cheers

Dam lol I don't t have any servo plug type rx's

@@psychio1234 it is designed for fixed wing (planes) so servo type is the most common.

Yeah I'm just getting into wings now own 3 I should but a full size r9 rx but it's so nice to have the small mm or slim versions wings are slowly incorporating sbus

G'day Roger, I think you're asking of this RTH/Autopilot has an On Screen Display (OSD)? Simple answer is no, no information is sent to your video standard. I have had some people that have bought it have modified the GPS to also feed a separate OSD unit for that purpose. I have used a Remzibi, but keep it separate from the RTH. I hope that answers your questions. Cheers Michael

Hi Franklin, I am not sure I completely understand your question, but this unit does have a Return To Home (RTH) feature. It does have a GPS and a flight controller. Bigaole do also manufacture a different product for stabilisation only. It looks similar, but does not have a GPS and no RTH feature. Does that help? Cheers Michael

@@madrc6667 OK. that's right. what I have is only the stabilizer, there is no connection for GPS. Thanks. very simple equipment and seems to comply with what it proposes

Yes, that is right I have the BGL-6G on my ebay store. Cheers and thanks for your comment!

Very happy to be of assistance. Thanks for commenting, it is good to know the vid is still helping!

Ho Mitch, sorry I don't have a FlySky i6, but there are quite a few good vids on how to set-up the failsafe. ua-cam.com/video/LXTEXqR_ghI/v-deo.html I would say that basically, make sure you set the channel you have your mode on set to engage the RTH mode. The throttle is an option depending on your plane type and safety preferences. I have a couple of my planes set with 40%-50% throttle, but one of my gliders is set with no throttle. I hope that helps. Cheers Michael

James R. Hellmsly yes with a couple of extra inches on the prop it certainly takes the tops off. With the standard 10" it's all good though.

G'day. I have heard of some people splicing an OSD into the supplied GPS. But I don't recommend modifying the manufacturers product. There are no ports that you can use for the OSD, so you have to cut into the cable. In hope that helps. Cheers Michael

all4-adventure's I have never tested it with any other RC vehicle, but I suppose in theory the aileron channel may work to direct the boat if connected to the rudder.

ok thank you so much for answer!i am trying many days to found ready autopilot gps for rc boat and i can't found!again thank you!

P arjacpar , no problems at all. I have sold hundreds and not had any issues that were not caused by incorrect setup. I have this unit in three different planea and they all work very well. Cheers Michael

G'day Wayne, sounds like the gains are too high and it is going into a feedback loop. You usually only notice this in autonomous flight of the RTH. Try to dial the aileron gain back a little and try again. Cheers Michael

Thanks I'll give it a try tomorrow!! Appreciate the guidance

HI Michael Tried your suggestion of lowering the gain but unfortunately got the same results. In trying the different gains every flight the plane banked sharply to the right and headed down. I have to switch out of the RTH position to save the plane. Any other suggestions? Really appreciate your helpl.

G'day Wayne, Well, that is weird for sure. The auto level and RTH are essentially using the same control in the unit. It is unusual that it will work fine in the auto level mode, but not in the RTH. I would suggest re-running the set-up making sure you didn't miss a step. What sort of plane? are you using the same amount of throttle? How low (close to the centre) did you get the gain?

Hi Michael I'm using the unit in a Bixler 3 and I did exactly as you recommended ie started from the beginning to be super careful not to miss any steps including resetting the home location at our field this morning. The stabilizer itself works fine other than restricting the bank angle but I understand that is normal but again when I place the plane in the RTH position it banks hard to the right and heads down. I even tried it at a very high altitude to see if it would pull out and level off but nope it continued to head to the ground. FYI I am using a taranis X9D Plus and I have set it up exactly according to your you tube video. The GPS does go from solid blue to flashing blue, do you think I could have a bad GPS. It's now become a challenge to solve the issue! Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

G'day Frank. I sell them. Please feel free to send me an email (address in at the start of the video) and I can send you a PayPal invoice if you would like to buy some. Otherwise I also have a listing on eBay. Cheers Michael

MAD RC what is the price?

Hi Frank, on my eBay listing they are AU$94.00 + Shipping (www.ebay.com.au/itm/Flight-Controller-w-GPS-Return-to-Home-RTH-for-Fixed-Wing-Bigaole-BGL-6G-AP/252999860797?hash=item3ae7f7823d:g:xbQAAOSwALtaVXuu). But if you'd like to order directly with me I can send you a PayPal invoice for AU$87.00 ea. plus Shipping. Where are you?

MAD RC i am in usa

Shipping would be AU$23.72 to the USA and includes a tracking number to keep an eye on your parcel as it travels to you. Cheers Michael

Ken McNaughton I think that you may have to rotate the elevator gain potentiometer. If you do, you will also need to reverse the input of the elevator input in your radio.

Thanks Mike, Reversed the elevator on Tx, ok now

Hi Jason. The altitude that the plane is at when the RTH is engaged is maintained (as best as possible given the airspeed). I have my ASW28 set-up with no throttle on the fail safe too. There is a tonne of good information on my RC Groups thread too - www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2417656-Bigaole-BGL-6G-AP-Auto-Pilot-System-With-GPS-and-Return-To-Home Cheers Michael

Thanks much Micheal. Great information Greetings from Florida USA Cheers.

G'day, yes the two stabilisers would interfere with each other. But if you have enough switches could set it up to have one on is certain modes and the other on when needed in different modes. So to get the rth function you would need to program the radio to switch off the other stabiliser when you select the rth mode. And make sure to switch off in failsafe too. Cheers Michael

My mistake I was using a Transmitter that only had 2 position switches , switched over to my taranis x9dplus followed your video to set it up set failsafe to half throttle using rth mode and works great . Could not have done it without your videos . Thanks

G'day Jeff. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. But looks like you got it all sorted. Good stuff! Cheers Michael
