Wow, you’re the OpenTX champion of the world, Andrew! 😲 👍
I wish!
Very informative Andrew! Between you and Lee from Painless360, we will never be left in the dark when it comes to fixed wings , RC stuff, TX settings and whatnot. Thanks again!
Thanks mate. To be honest I need to watch Lee's explanations before I do mine sometimes.
I don't have a need, but is pretty cool to see different methods of "manipulating" OpenTX for cool features!
Imagine the button pushing editing this on a Taranis..?..It's one reason I bought a Radiomaster Transmitter, so much easier with that scroll roller.... Great tutorial Andrew, as usual...🤔🤔🤔🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Very true. Thanks and stay safe till next year!
Nice Tutorial Andrew. I can't emphasise enough the need for robust Throttle arming and control. It may not immediately occur to novices but the throttle stick arming logic needs to be duplicated for throttles with any other input to prevent inadvertent motor spin up. Radio software specifically implements such caution with lock out and audio/visual warnings at turn on of the TX. Unfortunately the built in arming logic can not be allocated to another input. Respectfully may I suggest your single "safety/arming" switch is not foolproof while using a single latching switch. At a minimum I would suggest a two switch approach with one of the switches being a normally off momentary type. I am sure you will follow my point and a robust arming procedure would make a good follow up to this video. Cheers Rob
Yes good point Rob.
Handy tip! Thanks Andrew.
In real gliders, pulling back on a handle lowers flaps or extends airbrakes. Much like pulling back on a throttle stick to slow down. It's more intuitive and better for muscle memory to use the throttle stick that way IMHO.
I agree. I use that setup on some of my RC slope gliders - throttle stick full forward for normal flight, and pull it back for spoilerons (or flaperons if you so wish). That way there's no confusion when I fly powered RC planes - it's always pull back to slow down.
Yes, same here, slider down for brakes. This was Marc's setup and he wanted it his way.
i thought moving the stick up increases the effect it is meant to have
so stick up = more more throttle, or more flap, or more spoiler
and throttle and slider switched to have the function i want to have more control over on the input method that enables that
excellent details....
Nice one🔥👌👍
I love my TX16s
Very helpful Andrew, can this work for any sort of light weight slopers and bigger motor gliders?
Yes, specially slopers and gliders
Thanks Andrew :)
very informative
Glad it was helpful!
A BIG thumbs up!
Nice
Love it.
Andrew when you use the negative wieght to change the direction of the servo I found that the trim still acted in the same direction as before ie opposite to what you would normally found. I thought the only way to stop this was to reverse the servo direction in the outputs page ? Please correct me if this is not the way to reverse direction. Cheers and many thanks for your great videos.
I have heard that but never bothered to test it. A task for today
Just tested it and trim always seems to work correctly whether I reverse the weight or the channel. It also scales to the ratio of reduced weights.
Frist of all excellent video , too good for new dlg flyer ,
I have one question ❓
I just want to use , throttle for air break, as my flapron
When landing , also want to use rudder .
So should I use only SF down ?
When throttle full up ? Flapron need to be neutral,
When throttle full down , need flapron down full , as air break .
I will follow your video , just need little bit change , as explained above ,
So what should I do with curve?? You use 2 point , and what should I do I. Curve , to make air break when throttle full down. ,
And about rudder , so I will create channel no 4 rudder , any advice need to mix in rudder any thing ????
Here's a video on how to physically set up the flaperons ua-cam.com/video/NOyHjL99rC4/v-deo.html and search for DLG on my channel for more tips
@AndrewNewton thanks 👍
This is really neat. Very cool to see OpenTx can do that. I have a Drift with iNav in it and would really like it to land with a steeper, slower approach and maybe be easily catchable. Should I go for spoilerons then or flaperons? I understand I would do it in iNav, not the Tx. Is it essential to control the strength on a slider, or is toggle on/off good enough?
I guess a switch would be OK, maybe with some "slow" for smooth throttle increase. I have only ever used the throttle stick myself.
Thank you
That it is possible to program the TX this way is fantastic. The question is why? What is the benefit of this setup, over having the flaps & spoilers on the roller with the switch to initiate? This Mode 2.2 with the throttle out of place would be confusing. Are the ailerons controlled by the stick? That would mean the pilot needs to manipulate both sticks plus the roller for normal flight operations.
P.S. Mode 2.1 = mode 2 with the elevator function reversed. (I’ve been told that someone has their TX this way).
@@allenmoore9848 thank you. I missed any mention of DLG, it makes more sense on a pure glider. It was mentioned to put the throttle on the roller, which was my primary concern. You have convinced me that it makes sense if the motor is only used in short bursts.
This was Marc's setup and he fitted a motor to his DLG. I am happy to have flaps / brakes on the slider.
Hi Andrew, may I ask what receiver you use with your TX16S ?
D4R for this demo, but mostly RX6R or X6R
@andrew Newton. I am struggling with having my flaps move with the whole range of motion with the throttle stick. Right now it is only the hop half of the throttle position that has any movement. Any recommendations on getting flap movement with the full throttle range of motion? Thanks!
I have lots of video on flap setup.
Great video :)
Great radio, thanks
Wow, that's pretty cool. How did you get your name printed on your radio? Is that an option if I buy one?
If I remember correctly it was something of a promo when it was sent to him. Go back in his videos, he has a brief intro to the radio and how it arrived.
Clever ploy by Radiomaster to ensure reviewers have a positive feeling about the TX16S
@@AndrewNewton I think I'm going to get one. They have the TBS package deal which looks like all the radio I'll ever need for planes, quads, and boats. Thanks Andrew!
Hi Andrew, would this programming be the same on the RadioMaster TX12 Compact,
I personally don't have that radio. I fly with Graupner radio which is already configured to have the brakes on the throttle for gliders.
I am asking for a 10 year old who is just getting into the sport. And I am not sure if he can afford a more expensive radio. Would be nice to hear from you.
BTW your videos are al very informative.
Thanks Knut. Yes OpenTX is the same across all radios. The screens may look a little different but it's only cosmetic.
@@AndrewNewton Great thanks
You lost me right after you said “Greetings Folks”. Nice info tho.
