Having watched a good number of videos of the NX transmitter, I have repeatedly formed an impression that many videos gravitate to impress, rather than inform the observer. This is not the case of your videos. Format and speed are very important to convey the subject which in many cases is new and at times confusing. Thank you again for such effective contribution to this hobby. Looking forward to many more videos from you!!
Thanks! Solved my issue I was having and showed me a few other useful tools I wasn't aware of! Just wish the overall model timer was more realistic, meaning it was slaved to the throttle, not just the radio being on and the model selected.
Adding to the previous comment from me - BD is a talented pilot. He has practical experience with these radios and planes as a system. What he presents is based on his experience as a pilot.
In addition, I recently also decided to use the throttle cut switch to start stop timer number two as a stopwatch. I'm also playing around with using the middle position of switch F as the reset for timer 2.
Never mind my dumb a$$ figured it out. Lol I'm just getting back into the hobby after 16 years away from it. Man things have changed haha. Thanks again for great videos. It's been a big HELP learning the NX6.
You have to enable the second timer. If you have and want to remove. Settings > Timer > Scroll to highlight timer 1 > Push enter with scroll wheel > Scroll right to Timer 2 > Enter on Mode > Change to Inhibit
Hi BD, the timmer I'm talking about is the small display in the centre of the screen, just above the line of the rudder and aileron trim bars. giving the total time you have either worked or flowm the plane. I personally find it so off putting. I've watched your video a couple of times now amd just can't pick up how to remove it. Thank you for your help.
I need a 'how to:' I need to know HOW to have safe on ch5, & STILL be able to run a servo off of channel 5 also. Some ppl on youtube say it's easy to do. But I can't seem to find out how! Thanks! 👍🏻
Channel Assign > Gear and Aux 2 on same switch. It will turn safe on and off however it will be tied to the landing gear. Safe On - Landing Gear down or Safe off Landing gear up. You can reverse it was well...
Thanks for this video, as well as the whole NX-setup series. Following your instructions I have activated a second timer as stopwatch to be used as a total-flight timer. The first timer starts and stops using the throttle stick. The second timer starts when throttle is above a certain percentage. How do I stop the second timer? I would want to activate a switch or key press to stop the total flight-time as soon as plane has landed. Currently it just keeps running until cleared.
@@BDTennessee I had considered that, but when gliding or doing thermals the throttle would be 0%. Another thing I considered was controlling the total flight timer via a flight mode switch having 3 modes:Taxi - TakeOff/Land - Cruise. Timer 2 (as stopwatch) would start with switch values 1 and 2, and stop with value 0 (Taxi). During the 20 years I have been flying I have never user, nor needed flight modes. Not sure I will be able to pick up the habit of using the flight mode switch only for the timer. We'll see. I posted the question on rcgroups, A first suggestion was to use the throttle-cut to start/stop the timer. But taxiing from/to the pits would then still be logged as part of the "total flight time".
Hello BD,nice informed Video,but I have a Question:Can I set that the Timer is on correct Time(Motortimer) after Turn off the NX8 ??? sorry for my bad english Best regards from Germany Ralph
You have 2 timers built in. Model which is total time on that model and integrated which is total time of radio. You could change "One Time Active" option. Bump the throttle and then back down when starting nitro/gas motor and it will run until radio is turned off
question I have a NX10 and I'm trying figure out if it's capable to verbal batery information so I can fly having the radio tell me how many mah the baterry has rather than using a timer? Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Love you NX TX channel, just need direction.
You can have the voltage called out through status report or on a switch. Status report is set to a value and auto called out (Choose how many seconds its auto called out). Also can be put on a switch. Mah consumed you need a add on sensor. (Part# SPMA9605)
I need to change Flight Modes about 15-20 seconds after the throttle is advanced past 25% when taking off. Is there a way to set a voice command, that I can set 15 seconds after the throttle goes past 25%? At that point, I need a reminder to switch my Flight Mode from "Take-off mode" to "Cruise Mode".
Hi Having bought this beautifull radio, I have one niggle, I wish to remove the total flight timer from my display, I find it a total distraction and a peice of data, I couldn't care a less about. I have just updated to version 10.4 the data I refer to is situated just above the time. I've spent hours trying to remove it but with no luck. Can you help please.
Greetings, I have problems with my nx8. I don’t want to hear the voice commands that are pre-installed, I don’t know if you have already had any problems with that and if there is any way to correct it and put it to work, I hope you can help me with that and thank you.
@@BDTennessee No, the radio already has some sounds that you can assign to each button on the radio for when you want me to say for example; (randoms on) but it assigned them and it doesn't want to work for me, has it already happened to you before?
I'm not sure BD. I'm still slowly figuring it out because all I had was a dxs from a rtf carbon cub. I love the radio a lot I will have to see if I can find the settings for what you mentioned. I appreciate your time. Your videos have helped me so much
I am having problems with setting up timer on nx6 transmitter. When setting it up for my aeroscout it worked but when setting it up for f15 it won’t. I have both set up the same but when I go 1/4 throttle when flying f15 she will nonstop saying timer start timer start but timer never starts. She will never shut up until I get below 1/4 throttle. Anyone know what is wrong?
@@BDTennessee I did that but timer on main screen isn’t counting down like it does with my aeroscout model. The f15 model is the second model I set up.
@@BDTennessee I got it working. I know what was wrong. When I click on timer and hit the next button and it takes me to the timer clear screen. I had that set wrong. Shoot. Lol. Thank ya for your help. I have to get used to this technology.

Well said my friend!
Great video.
I prefer setting timer 2 to stopwatch, and letting it count up for total flight time. I inhibit all of the call outs for timer 2.
I setup all my planes exactly same :) Thanks for adding that.

Well Done, BD. Your videos are very useful and informative. If not for you I'd be lost
Thanks Michael,appreciate it!
So how do I cancel the second timer ? Clear it from the screen?
Your channel has been a big help thanks

What is the "model memory timer" on the main screen of the NX series radio? Can it be reset, or should it be?
Its a continuous timer for when your on the model. It can be reset,but you dont have too.
@@BDTennessee Mine starts as soon as I turn my transmitter on, even if the plane doesn't have a battery in it....
