Would you consider doing a quick video on a Spektrum setup on this radio, something that covers the bind, switch with 3 flight modes and perhaps the panic switch found on standard horizon hobby models
The channel order seems to depend on the setup of your multiprotocol module. Mine is flashed with the AETR version, so I had to map it in that order to get it to operate properly. I also had to swap some channels in the output.
This video really is useful and makes Taranis more of an option and less a 1 shot deal....it is great to see some innovation in the radio side of the hobby and great to see a decrease in monopolistic tendencies especially given the fact that it was the openness that got Taranis started in the first place. Thanks, Lee:-)
there some HARDWARE CHANGES to the 3rd batch of radiomaster t16s (got mine just a few days ago hallsensor version) the protective film on the touch screen doesn't have a grid pattern on it that so many thought to be the touch screen pattern, there's a larger louder speaker installed in the back cover not in the back of the grid in front so two halves are now connected by two cables, probably important info for anybody opening the radio for the first time and the project box is replaced with a simple flat plastic cover and you get extra screen protector in the box.
@@graywoulf no grid pattern at all and no speaker is not in jr bay its somewhere in the back right side corner, there was always a designated place for a speaker there. I'm not sure but I think only the review samples and maybe the first batch of radios had a small speaker in the front
For the screen, imo (and I've got a tx16s) the touchscreen will be super nice. I'm already sorta finding myself pressing the screen to try do stuff like widgets lol. Also, if you go to system > hardware > analog you can test the screen and I can confirm that it's both accurate and sensitive enough.
Thanks for posting this...I didn't know that my screen was even active yet. I thought I still had to load a new software release (I've only had my TX for a week).
@@12beemer34 I think we’ve got to wait a month or two for opentx2.4 to support actually using the screen in the menus and stuff but yea it you can check you have the touchscreen in the menu.
@@gautamkrishna7421 I'm still learning this TX. I did find a bug, maybe you can see if yours does the same. In system/hardware/debug if I debug "switches" first I can see all switches work properly. But if I debug "analogs" (testing the screen) and THEN go back to "switches" I find that all switches work except SB. Once I select "down" on SB it freezes. All other switches continue to work but SB stays frozen in the down position. I have to do a power reset to get it to start working again. I looked on OpenTX for any open issues like this but I didn't see one.
Thanks for the informative video! I was wondering - can we use this radio to flash new firmware to receivers in the same way we can with a Taranis? Thanks!
Thanks for this video Lee! Question: What does it mean when the power LED is red? My friend has this radio and we have seen this once or twice. But the radio works great. Just trying to understand the color codes for the power LED. So far we have seen the power LED blue, green and red.
The problem is as follows We've been trying to bind our transmitter and receiver but have been unsuccessful so far. The module that has to be bound isn't visible. The specifications are as follows: Transmitter : Radiomaster TX16S (16 channel) Receiver : Radiomaster R88 (8 channel)
I don't think they will, but can you check and see if 26650 sized cells will fit in the battery compartment please? Or measure the depth of the battery compartment? Needs to be 26mm. Radiomaster website says it's only 25mm though.
Hello all, Does anybody know if it is possible to bind the tx16s to a walkera wd450 d03 (RX2703H-D)? I’m a newbie and can’find any confirmation nor negation anywhere...
One more question: When flying a model bound to the internal module, is the external module completely switched off/ no voltage? And vice versa? My plan is to use a Jeti TU2 module as external module. This has no own antenna. Plan is to connect to existing antenna, but only possible if only one module is switched on at a time.
Thanks for your video and Answers. I'm trying out telemetry right now. Up to now I have not been able to have the audio announce the volt value two places after the decimal point. E.g. the lowest cell value is 3.54 volts, the announcement is 3.5 volts. Or is that not possible at all?
Good day Lee. What LiPo Battery connection is used to connect the battery? or just the balance plug? Jeff. I searched and found it. it's the Balance port.
One thing puzzles me about the 5-in-1 supporting FrSky/FlySky etc. and R9 - there's only one antenna. Are they really pushing a 900mhz signal out of a 2.4ghz wavelength antenna for R9?
@WrongWay FPV I think you're right about it having module support not it having it already internally. I heard the 5-in-1 was 1 more than the 4-in-1 because it did R9, from someone who doesn't own one (yet) as they were reading specs.
What kind of cable (3,5 mm jack stereo or mono) were you using to connect the radio's together in the master/slave test that you did? Just asking because some people noted it did not always work on a Jumper T16 as master, while connected to a X9D+ as slave. It seems also related to the cable used and the version of OpenTX, but not always.
I bought the t16 pro v2 a few weeks ago but fortunately because they are not in stock I was able to change the order for the t18, waiting another month. I'll look forward for a comparison between this tx16s and the t18. They seem practically the same except for the cheaper price and the uarts in this one. I hope the t18 has that metal roll button, it seems nice to the touch. Maybe the t18/t16 pro are more robust and made of better plastic...
Any idea how to pair with HiSky HCP100S heli? When putting TX16S into pairing mode, it is able to temporarily control the heli but pairing is not saved. May be issue in heli end, but could not find any useful info from it's user manual.
Can you please test if the silicone bits on the back of the radio (the ones that now have a ridge that helps holding the radio when pinching) fit the jumper t16? and thank you for the great review!
Hi , great video !! thanks for the info!, ... quick question.. I have a DSMX spektrum receiver, everything works fine, BUT , when I connect my battery on my quad, the transmitter does't read the telematry... It flight great everythung is goos, but ther's the notification "Telemetry lost" my RSSI bars dissapear from my widget bar , and when I go to my MDL page and look at the sensors, they are all working ... do you have any idea why this Telemetry lost and RSSI bars dissapeard from my widget top bar??.. thanks!
One thing I didn't like with my T16 was the roller, it seemed to have some... sloppiness, when switching directions, is the best way to put it. I put some tape around the metal part of the roller to give it some more thickness. Does the radiomaster have the same issue? I noticed it uses a very similar mechanism with its metal roller.
Hi lee...just got my tx16s today..😊 and 18650 batteries 2000mah. Iam bit confused regarding usb adapter..can i use my Samsung phn adapter ? To charge battery in Radio? Please advise thank you!
Just bought the Twin Timber and can't get the reverse thrust set up. I got the reverse set up on my Turbo Timber but can't remember how I did it. Can you help? Thanks, Al
There is usually another connection wire from the ESC in addition to the normal one you'd find. Plug that into a spare channel on the reciever and set that channel up with a switch... Best of luck
I’m glad it balances on your neck strap I however need to move models over from my xd9+ to the tx16s because my screen is damaged on my old radio and it won’t accept them no matter what I do Haw do I do this, or do I just need to go line by line and do it by triple and error
im sorry if i miss it, if it was mentioned, about the crossfire, it promises a good latency and really good, however, i am wondering if i can use if not for drone but for a plane with 5 channels only (trottle, 2 v tail, and 2 aileron).
Check out the Crossfire series on the channel - I cover all of that and more. You can use Crossfire on a model in the same way as any other radio system (and a few other cool ways too!)
Depends on what value it needs on what channel from the radio for the SAFE system. I've not used it here but the supplier should be able to help you. Best of luck with it..
When I work on the telemetry under widgets settings on the source, what does TRSS stand for? Is there a place I can go to find all the values for the abbreviations?
@@Painless360 I was hoping it had something to do with the transmission strength. I get a numeric display of 53 when I plug it in. I have no idea what the d8/d16 protocols do. I've been trying to get the read out of the battery in my plane but I use the dsm in my Valient and so far it appears I won't be able to get that displayed on my radio. ANy ideas would help, Thanks for your last reply
Brand new to drones and I've read a lot of advice telling me to get this controller and practice in a simulator until i feel comfortable enough to fly a drone irl. I just purchased this and realized that it may need special batteries (Which, it obviously does.) does this radio need to battery powered in order to use it on my PC?
yes good video and I have purchased the radio master but can't get it to bind to my fr sky x6r does the receiver need to be updated to the radiomaster protocol
Thank you for your video support for this radio (TX16S), I have searched the internet but cannot find any answers to my question which is: As a lot of modellers are buying E-Flight planes with safe select and using the Spektrum tx how do you bind the AR636 6 channel receiver to the TX16S tx, I can bind but cannot get the safe select to work. I hope you can answer this questions. Thanks
Might be easier to use a strap for pinchers, take that weight off your arms and make it more comfortable. I’d like one by I’m used to mode one, tried using a mode 2 radio for a while and just couldn’t get the feel for it, so I changed it to mode 1, it was a spektrum DX6e by the way.
Just bought a timber turbo evolution and am having a hard time getting the safe on/off attached to a switch. I thought safe was on channel 5 on Spektrum. The book call for anything up to channel 9 so maybe I need to try to set it up on 1 of those channels instead of channel 5. Any thoughts? Thanks, Al
The capabilities of the Multiprotocol module are changing all the time so check the the project wiki for the latest... www.multi-module.org/basics/supported-protocols
Another tricky and challanging question, is it possible to use both the internal transmitter and the module bay transmitter?, so that you would kinda have a backup if something would fail?
Thank you. One question I have is can this bind and properly operate planes with Spektrum dsm2 and dsmx? I'm looking to replace my Spektrum radio but have several planes with Spektrum rx, etc
I like to tell you that your videos are quite informative and interesting. I would like to know what would you use (kind of switch) to choose from the 8 FM available in Open TX (Radiomaster TX16S). Six is easy and quite visible, but eight...
@@Painless360 Just for the sake of it. I added momentary switches T5 and T6 to the 6P in the upper part of the transmitter and they are working together now, for 8 flight modes. Regards
Hey...Just a quick question..I got the Radiomaster Tx16s and I'm wondering if it will bind with my old Turnigy receiver's? I tried flysky but no joy. .
hi I purchased a radio tx 16s 4 in 1 protcol my question is how can I tell if I have this 4 in 1 protcol as I have a hobby m1 which came with shfss.Regards Andy
Great T16S videos! Thanks very much for the info! I have questions about this radios compatibility with a Wireless Training Mode called MASTER/SBUS I'm into this Wireless Training using the OTx Trainer Mode: MASTER/SBUS which passes the trainee's stick data thru the radio board to the model in flight. But: What I can't get Banggood or Radiomaster Tech support to answer are these question: if I insert a DIY 4:1MPM into the JR slot will it Bind with the Trainee's radio wireless link and work in this MASTER/SBUS mode in the normal FrSky D16 protocol or any other? Also, If ia T16S can support SBUS via D16 on the trainer link, can I use the T16S's "Internal MPM that comes standard in this radio with an ASSAN or a DSM2 mode Rx bound to the model's INTERNAL MPM radio link at the same time? Will this SBUS mode also work with the XM+ FrSky Receiver that's in a Linker II module? I have had the radio on Order since 23 March but it's delayed and not due to ship till 29May. This is important to me since currently I can't use wireless training with anything BUT models with FrSky Receivers in them and I have lots of other receiver types in park flyer models i do not needed to use telemetry with, but I'd still like to let my grandson's train on them too.
Probably a daft question but can't find any info and don't wnat to make a mistake if I order one. On the mid range version (TX16s) can I plug in an existing TBS micro TX and use it or is it only the top of the range version that supports the TBS Micro Tx?
Thanks realy informative video, i was wondering about the durability tho, also on the inside. Do you think like it is durable all over and will hold quite a long time? Also will there be replacement parts available for all of the stuff if a switch were to break, or other stuff? Thanks i hope my question gets picked up =D
Look at it from a different angle. It's a $130 radio with more features than the name brand at 3 times the price. So if it lasts 2 years you are still money ahead. Go price a Futaba.
Hi good day to you sir, i am planing to buy a radiomaster tx16s but thier one that is holding me back. And that is the range, how far will it be for examlpe thr x8r receiver and the L9R. Could you please make a video of that
@Painless360 - Thank you for this great video. However i still have a few questions. I am a Spektrum user and find this radio interesting. 1) Is the 2,4 Ghz DSMX range the same compared to a DX9 transmitter (the one i have now)? 2) Is Spektrum telemetry supported and able to be shown on the TX16S display? I cant find anything on the net about this. 3) I have heard that some would not use this TX for big expensive planes/helis - why not? I it not as good and other brands when it comes to range and stuff like that? It seems to that TX16S is at least as good as my Spektrum DX9 when it comes to build quality and materials. My DX9 is plastic all the way and has an extra antenna (diversity) in the handle - the TX16S has not. I hope you or someone else can comment on this - and especially signal quality and range is important to me if i should switch to a Radiomaster TX16S. THANKS !
1) Check out the video in the playlists the DSM power is 100mW. Depends on what power your existing radio is.. 2) Last time I tried it, it worked. See the Wiki for latest details... 3) The radio is still very new so for many pilots they need some time to develop the level of trust in the radio and technology to trust it to an expensive model. It'll be worth a watch of my videos in the playlist for this radio, best of luck!
Hello all I saw a video from this lovely chap about telemetry displayed on the rc controller. Do we know if the controller will be able to display the telemetry on the display at the screen via (lua and luac script) thanks for the responses in advance
Hi, what about the support for the new FrSky ACCESS protocol? To my knowledge, neither the Jumper T16, T18 nor the Radiomaster TX16S support this new protocol ?! So if you choose a Jumper T16, T18 or Radiomaster TX16S, this means in the same breath, a future without FrSky, since FrSky will only release receivers with the new ACCESS protocol in the future and not with the ACCST protocol. Do I understand this correctly? From this point of view, I would very much like to know your opinion. FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 or would you prefer Jumper T16, T18 or Radiomaster TX16S?
@@Painless360 Thanks for the fast respond. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an advocate of FrSky or any other manufacturer. I'm a model sport returner and I'm currently in the process of building a new setup. I'm just unsure which manufacturer to rely on. For this reason my request for advice. I have no desire to invest approx. 270 euros in a FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 transmitter in order to be on the wrong way. As I understand you now, the Radiomaster TX16S would definitely be a good choice and any future ACCESS support is very likely. However, the Jumper T18 will soon be on the market and the specifications don't sound bad - if not very good. Does the 5-in-1 module make any sense in Germany - can I even use it? Say - should I better wait for the Jumper T18? My planned model setup would have been a 2 meter glider with a FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 and the FrSky Archer GR8, which has already integrated the Vario. In addition, I would have connected a liposensor. If I should now choose the Radiomaster TX16S or optionally the Jumper T18, which receiver and which telemetry components could I use instead? The Archer GR8 would then no longer be an option due to the ACCESS protocol? I sincerely hope that you can give me a supportive answer and thank you in advance for your efforts. Best regards
That answer is a much longer one and potentially subject to a lot of personal bias by all who answer it. FrSky started out creating the products we all wanted - a cheap, powerful radio that we could rely on for a lot less than vendors like Futaba, Spektrum, Aurora and others. Sadly as they have grown that spirit of innovation and risk taking has gone and they now appear more focussed on changes to limit the ability of 3rd parties to work with their kit. Other vendors like Jumper, Radiomaster and others are now driving the innovation and set becoming what FrSky was 5 years ago. If you're starting out then both are good choices, for pilots like me with lots of investment in FrSky kit that seem hell bent on no longer supporting vendors like RadioMaster feel more like they embody the spirit of the hobby I love.. Hope that helps.
@@Painless360 I like your passion for the hobby! I understand your opinion / position and can understand it very well. Companies like these should "support" each other, spur each other on to achieve their best, or at least, in terms of innovation, not slow each other down due to their own current lack of innovation. The original basic idea, the spirit, should finally stay alive! Because everything else brings nothing to the end of the day! But I also think that FrSky should have learned this lesson and hopefully will now appreciate how much their customers have supported and believed in them over the years. Also, they shouldn't forget that customers are always the backbone of every company! FrSky has brought many great innovations to the market in the past and has supported us with this, in our beloved hobby, and given us many hours of joy. Therefore, I also believe that we, as customers, should not completely ignore this in the current situation. I don't want to pretend that Frsky has really messed up and that their current "business practices" are definitely very questionable. But everyone makes mistakes, and FrSky also has potential, we all know from the past. So let's work together again on "SPIRIT" and the products we all want. At this point I would like to thank you again for your support. I will think again now and then hopefully make a wise decision. All the best!
Some radio systems have redundant antennas, some redundant receivers, some transmitters have two antennas. What can we do to a RadioMaster transmitter to add a second antenna? How about some video coverage on adding redundant receivers to the RadioMaster system? Thank you, Bill Gargan
Speaking of trainer mode: now that you have a multi protocol module, could you do a run-down on the wireless trainer using the multi module as the source? Have seen it’s possible, but have not seen anyone actually do it.
For a model I usually want it to warn me around 3.7 -3.8 volts per cell so I can land and have the pack still well above the 3.5v per cell minimum.. Happy flying!
Funny is I've got no fewer then 8 planes bound on my jumper tx16 but for the life of me can not get throttle to work on any plane I've tried to bind on radiomaster. What could it be?

Can you walk us through so me Orange and DSM cheap receiver binds.. I've been unsuccessful so far.
What settings have you tried?
@@Painless360 I figured out what I was doing wrong..
I forgot to take the bind plug out after binding.
I'm using Multi DSM 2 22ms..
Seems to work..
Just bought the Twin Timber and can't get the reverse thrust set up. I got the reverse set up on my Turbo Timber but can't remember how I did it. Can you help? Thanks, Al
There is usually another connection wire from the ESC in addition to the normal one you'd find. Plug that into a spare channel on the reciever and set that channel up with a switch... Best of luck
Does anyone know if this with work on Macs via USB for simulators? I've been searching for hours and can't find the answer.
Does it do Hitec Red receivers so it could be used to fly the Ares micro planes?
very helpful, nice questions and great answers cheers
thanks for the video mate, what is the size of the gimbal screws M3 or M4? thank you
I’m glad it balances on your neck strap
I however need to move models over from my xd9+ to the tx16s because my screen is damaged on my old radio and it won’t accept them no matter what I do
Haw do I do this, or do I just need to go line by line and do it by triple and error
See my OpenTX setup video for this radio and the cloning feature video - both in the playlist... Best of luck!
if you use frsky recievers. how do you update those? can you use that uart ports?
im sorry if i miss it, if it was mentioned, about the crossfire, it promises a good latency and really good, however, i am wondering if i can use if not for drone but for a plane with 5 channels only (trottle, 2 v tail, and 2 aileron).
Check out the Crossfire series on the channel - I cover all of that and more. You can use Crossfire on a model in the same way as any other radio system (and a few other cool ways too!)
I like the radio...and review as well.. thank you Lee..👍
Hi what does the six buttons do above the logo(that light up red)I noticed you had one lit up?is it for the switches? BTW I have this on backorder.thx
It's a six position switch.. See the T16 videos..
Hi Lee, can I use Futaba Fasst receiver with this radio? I have Frsky - Fasst receiver that unable to bind with this radio.
Check out the FAQ video in the series where I show how to check.. Best of luck
Really useful info, thanks!
I'm have a problem with a Aeroscout with a AR630 receiver it's binding ok but it's not letting me disengage the safe mode
Depends on what value it needs on what channel from the radio for the SAFE system. I've not used it here but the supplier should be able to help you. Best of luck with it..
When I work on the telemetry under widgets settings on the source, what does TRSS stand for? Is there a place I can go to find all the values for the abbreviations?
Trss is the signal strength of the d8/d16 protocols telemetry on the multiprotocol module.. I'm not finding a simple place to look it up.. yet
@@Painless360 I was hoping it had something to do with the transmission strength. I get a numeric display of 53 when I plug it in. I have no idea what the d8/d16 protocols do. I've been trying to get the read out of the battery in my plane but I use the dsm in my Valient and so far it appears I won't be able to get that displayed on my radio. ANy ideas would help, Thanks for your last reply
RSSI is the strength of the received signal. Remember to tune the radio for the best RSSI - see my video on multiprotocol tips and tricks..
What is the transmission power? How is the range of this radio with a normal receiver?
Brand new to drones and I've read a lot of advice telling me to get this controller and practice in a simulator until i feel comfortable enough to fly a drone irl. I just purchased this and realized that it may need special batteries (Which, it obviously does.) does this radio need to battery powered in order to use it on my PC?
Thanks Lee ,always a help.
yes good video and I have purchased the radio master but can't get it to bind to my fr sky x6r does the receiver need to be updated to the radiomaster protocol
No. Make sure you are using the correct protocol. See my Mulriprorocol tips video...
Can't seem to get mine to bind to my spektrum receiver. It says I have edgetx an multi on my 4in1 version
Check out ua-cam.com/video/6dpkkkezQsk/v-deo.html
Best of luck
I mostly plan to use xm + receivers. Considering this situation, would you recommend frsky X9d + 2019 or radiomaster t16?
Either are great choices. Depends if you want to stick with just Frsky... Happy flying
Thank you for your video support for this radio (TX16S), I have searched the internet but cannot find any answers to my question which is: As a lot of modellers are buying E-Flight planes with safe select and using the Spektrum tx how do you bind the AR636 6 channel receiver to the TX16S tx, I can bind but cannot get the safe select to work. I hope you can answer this questions. Thanks
If I had one here to test, I would. There are a number of Spektrum compatible protocols so I'd try all of them..
I am holding my Breath. Ha. I am sure you will be asked this question again. Thanks
Might be easier to use a strap for pinchers, take that weight off your arms and make it more comfortable. I’d like one by I’m used to mode one, tried using a mode 2 radio for a while and just couldn’t get the feel for it, so I changed it to mode 1, it was a spektrum DX6e by the way.
What about a video on the Bluetooth board update for the radio
Dose it support access protocol for frsky along with all the new frsky receivers
See link in description for where to find that.. Best of luck!
Just bought a timber turbo evolution and am having a hard time getting the safe on/off attached to a switch. I thought safe was on channel 5 on Spektrum. The book call for anything up to channel 9 so maybe I need to try to set it up on 1 of those channels instead of channel 5. Any thoughts? Thanks, Al
No idea. If you figure it out, please post the answer. I'd try it on every channel, one by one..
@@Painless360 worked on channel 7!
Nice video. The Radiomaster TX 16S works with Hitec receivers, is it compatible with the Hitec HTS-SS Blue Telemetry system?
The capabilities of the Multiprotocol module are changing all the time so check the the project wiki for the latest... www.multi-module.org/basics/supported-protocols
Another tricky and challanging question, is it possible to use both the internal transmitter and the module bay transmitter?, so that you would kinda have a backup if something would fail?
Stay tuned, I have a video showing some of that...
@@Painless360 uhhhh thats cool i for sure will stay tuned =)
Thank you. One question I have is can this bind and properly operate planes with Spektrum dsm2 and dsmx? I'm looking to replace my Spektrum radio but have several planes with Spektrum rx, etc
See my videos that cover this. The supported protocols are listed in the wiki. They do include Spektrum.. best of luck
@@Painless360 Thank you friend. I'll try to find your video that covers this. I enjoy your vids immensely - John
Is there a charging status indicator, so you can see when your battery's are full, when charging?
Yes there is. Power LED lights and there is a icon on the screen too..
Can you use a switch to active the binding of a model, instead of editing and pushing the bind button?
Binding for many recievers is a one time thing but for those who that it isn't you can't use it a switch. Happy flying
I like to tell you that your videos are quite informative and interesting. I would like to know what would you use (kind of switch) to choose from the 8 FM available in Open TX (Radiomaster TX16S). Six is easy and quite visible, but eight...
I've never needed to do that here. Why do you need 8 fight modes? I'm interested...
@@Painless360 Just for the sake of it. I added momentary switches T5 and T6 to the 6P in the upper part of the transmitter and they are working together now, for 8 flight modes. Regards
Hey...Just a quick question..I got the Radiomaster Tx16s and I'm wondering if it will bind with my old Turnigy receiver's? I tried flysky but no joy. .
There are a few Flysky options... hobbyking did lots of recievers that were compatible with different protocols.... Best of luck
@@Painless360 Yeah...I eventually got it..Flysky was the one...Thanks for the great videos...Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the info, looking forward to it being available here, one question on the matter of protocol, does it do JR Dmss
Boomshanka👍
hi I purchased a radio tx 16s 4 in 1 protcol my question is how can I tell if I have this 4 in 1 protcol as I have a hobby m1 which came with shfss.Regards Andy
ua-cam.com/video/DfKyx0yTbXU/v-deo.html covers how to check
.. Best of luck
They finally updated the faulty ribbon connections with good old wire connectors?
If by 'they' you mean Jumper. No, they didn't. Happy flying
What telemetry recievers will you be using with the tX16? Can we use the new frsky access receivers and flash back to ACCST?
If the Rx will support v1.x or v2.1 of ACCST then yes.. I'm using lots of X series here and also like the Jumper RX too..
Great T16S videos! Thanks very much for the info! I have questions about this radios compatibility with a Wireless Training Mode called MASTER/SBUS
I'm into this Wireless Training using the OTx Trainer Mode: MASTER/SBUS which passes the trainee's stick data thru the radio board to the model in flight.
But: What I can't get Banggood or Radiomaster Tech support to answer are these question: if I insert a DIY 4:1MPM into the JR slot will it Bind with the Trainee's radio wireless link and work in this MASTER/SBUS mode in the normal FrSky D16 protocol or any other?
Also, If ia T16S can support SBUS via D16 on the trainer link, can I use the T16S's "Internal MPM that comes standard in this radio with an ASSAN or a DSM2 mode Rx bound to the model's INTERNAL MPM radio link at the same time?
Will this SBUS mode also work with the XM+ FrSky Receiver that's in a Linker II module?
I have had the radio on Order since 23 March but it's delayed and not due to ship till 29May. This is important to me since currently I can't use wireless training with anything BUT models with FrSky Receivers in them and I have lots of other receiver types in park flyer models i do not needed to use telemetry with, but I'd still like to let my grandson's train on them too.
I'm playing with the wireless telemetry options at the moment and once I've figured it out, I'll make a video.. Stay tuned!
@@Painless360 Terrific! Thanks
Nice informative video! Up for more :) . Thank you!
Probably a daft question but can't find any info and don't wnat to make a mistake if I order one. On the mid range version (TX16s) can I plug in an existing TBS micro TX and use it or is it only the top of the range version that supports the TBS Micro Tx?
They all should support it... confirm with the vendor...
Does it support ACCST v2.X.X??? I see Radiomaster just came out with receivers that are flashable with ACCST v1 or v2 (EU and FCC also)
Yes. See my video on it.. Best of luck
Hi. Will you be doing a review on the new Jumper T18 was wondering what receivers will work with it in 868Mhz mode
I hope to - stay tuned!
Thanks realy informative video, i was wondering about the durability tho, also on the inside. Do you think like it is durable all over and will hold quite a long time? Also will there be replacement parts available for all of the stuff if a switch were to break, or other stuff?
Thanks i hope my question gets picked up =D
According to their website you'll be able to buy most parts as replacement
Look at it from a different angle. It's a $130 radio with more features than the name brand at 3 times the price. So if it lasts 2 years you are still money ahead. Go price a Futaba.
Hi good day to you sir, i am planing to buy a radiomaster tx16s but thier one that is holding me back. And that is the range, how far will it be for examlpe thr x8r receiver and the L9R. Could you please make a video of that
See my video on it in the playlist. I hope that helps.. Happy flying
@Painless360 - Thank you for this great video. However i still have a few questions. I am a Spektrum user and find this radio interesting.
1) Is the 2,4 Ghz DSMX range the same compared to a DX9 transmitter (the one i have now)?
2) Is Spektrum telemetry supported and able to be shown on the TX16S display? I cant find anything on the net about this.
3) I have heard that some would not use this TX for big expensive planes/helis - why not? I it not as good and other brands when it comes to range and stuff like that? It seems to that TX16S is at least as good as my Spektrum DX9 when it comes to build quality and materials. My DX9 is plastic all the way and has an extra antenna (diversity) in the handle - the TX16S has not.
I hope you or someone else can comment on this - and especially signal quality and range is important to me if i should switch to a Radiomaster TX16S. THANKS !
1) Check out the video in the playlists the DSM power is 100mW. Depends on what power your existing radio is..
2) Last time I tried it, it worked. See the Wiki for latest details...
3) The radio is still very new so for many pilots they need some time to develop the level of trust in the radio and technology to trust it to an expensive model.
It'll be worth a watch of my videos in the playlist for this radio, best of luck!
@@Painless360 Thank you very much for replying. I'll keep an eye on your videos. I did not get a notification when you replied... weird - i used to.
How do i know the remote is charging and when it’s done charging?
Hello all I saw a video from this lovely chap about telemetry displayed on the rc controller. Do we know if the controller will be able to display the telemetry on the display at the screen via (lua and luac script) thanks for the responses in advance
Yes, use the X10/T16 versions..
@@Painless360 thank you. I'm still learning alots and your content has been a amazing and is helping me with my first scratch build's electronics.
How do I get inav script to work with the tx16s please?
There isn't anything special. I'd update to the latest OpenTX and use the version of script created for the X10/X12/T16/T18 and TX16s. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 I had to add a telemetry folder to get the script to work. Using 2.3.9 open tx does not have a telemetry folder.
Hi, what about the support for the new FrSky ACCESS protocol? To my knowledge, neither the Jumper T16, T18 nor the Radiomaster TX16S support this new protocol ?! So if you choose a Jumper T16, T18 or Radiomaster TX16S, this means in the same breath, a future without FrSky, since FrSky will only release receivers with the new ACCESS protocol in the future and not with the ACCST protocol. Do I understand this correctly? From this point of view, I would very much like to know your opinion. FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 or would you prefer Jumper T16, T18 or Radiomaster TX16S?
I'm sure that support will come in time. If you want FrSky, buy FrSky..
@@Painless360 Thanks for the fast respond. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an advocate of FrSky or any other manufacturer. I'm a model sport returner and I'm currently in the process of building a new setup. I'm just unsure which manufacturer to rely on. For this reason my request for advice. I have no desire to invest approx. 270 euros in a FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 transmitter in order to be on the wrong way. As I understand you now, the Radiomaster TX16S would definitely be a good choice and any future ACCESS support is very likely. However, the Jumper T18 will soon be on the market and the specifications don't sound bad - if not very good. Does the 5-in-1 module make any sense in Germany - can I even use it? Say - should I better wait for the Jumper T18? My planned model setup would have been a 2 meter glider with a FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 and the FrSky Archer GR8, which has already integrated the Vario. In addition, I would have connected a liposensor. If I should now choose the Radiomaster TX16S or optionally the Jumper T18, which receiver and which telemetry components could I use instead? The Archer GR8 would then no longer be an option due to the ACCESS protocol? I sincerely hope that you can give me a supportive answer and thank you in advance for your efforts. Best regards
That answer is a much longer one and potentially subject to a lot of personal bias by all who answer it. FrSky started out creating the products we all wanted - a cheap, powerful radio that we could rely on for a lot less than vendors like Futaba, Spektrum, Aurora and others. Sadly as they have grown that spirit of innovation and risk taking has gone and they now appear more focussed on changes to limit the ability of 3rd parties to work with their kit. Other vendors like Jumper, Radiomaster and others are now driving the innovation and set becoming what FrSky was 5 years ago. If you're starting out then both are good choices, for pilots like me with lots of investment in FrSky kit that seem hell bent on no longer supporting vendors like RadioMaster feel more like they embody the spirit of the hobby I love.. Hope that helps.
@@Painless360 I like your passion for the hobby! I understand your opinion / position and can understand it very well. Companies like these should "support" each other, spur each other on to achieve their best, or at least, in terms of innovation, not slow each other down due to their own current lack of innovation. The original basic idea, the spirit, should finally stay alive! Because everything else brings nothing to the end of the day! But I also think that FrSky should have learned this lesson and hopefully will now appreciate how much their customers have supported and believed in them over the years. Also, they shouldn't forget that customers are always the backbone of every company! FrSky has brought many great innovations to the market in the past and has supported us with this, in our beloved hobby, and given us many hours of joy. Therefore, I also believe that we, as customers, should not completely ignore this in the current situation. I don't want to pretend that Frsky has really messed up and that their current "business practices" are definitely very questionable. But everyone makes mistakes, and FrSky also has potential, we all know from the past. So let's work together again on "SPIRIT" and the products we all want. At this point I would like to thank you again for your support. I will think again now and then hopefully make a wise decision. All the best!
Great video. Can this TX16S bind with Lemon RX7 plus reciever with stabilisation feature? TIA
See github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module for full list of supported protocols.. best of luck
How do you rate this radio after having it for a while is it the best?
Some radio systems have redundant antennas, some redundant receivers, some transmitters have two antennas. What can we do to a RadioMaster transmitter to add a second antenna? How about some video coverage on adding redundant receivers to the RadioMaster system? Thank you, Bill Gargan
Speaking of trainer mode: now that you have a multi protocol module, could you do a run-down on the wireless trainer using the multi module as the source? Have seen it’s possible, but have not seen anyone actually do it.
I am planning to show this, stay tuned!
Thanks for the great content. Are we able to install a 6-position Pot switch similar to how we did on the Taranis X9D Plus?
I've not tried, the 6 position buttons that come pre-installed fro that for you..
@@Painless360 wait a moment. The radio already has 6 position buttons installed?
You've not watched my unboxing and overview video have you?
Painless360 I did, but I didn’t see the 6 position pointed out. To me they appear as normal rollers.
What should I set the low voltage alarm to? Thanks a million.
For a model I usually want it to warn me around 3.7 -3.8 volts per cell so I can land and have the pack still well above the 3.5v per cell minimum.. Happy flying!
Funny is I've got no fewer then 8 planes bound on my jumper tx16 but for the life of me can not get throttle to work on any plane I've tried to bind on radiomaster. What could it be?
I've not seen that so I am guessing you have missed it something basic. Throttle cut switch maybe? What troubleshooting have you already done?
hi so out off the box,wat rx can you bind to,and is it mode selectable as i fly mode 1.thx mark.
See github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md for the protocols and modes are easy to change.
i have mine coming soon but i cant find anything on how to transfer my spectrum models over to the t16s if u know or can direct me to another vid that shows how it would be helpful thanks
Not sure how to copy models form a Spektrum radio. If you figure out a way to automate it, please let me know. Best of luck
