Basic Full House Glider setup 

Thanks Andrew for taking the time to do this... This clears up alot of things, can't wait to try on my Phoenix 2000!

Thanks Andrew once more. Setting up my Volantex 2000 for 'serious' gliding...

Thanks for posting this Andrew .. I've been flying for quite a while now but never fully understood some of the more advanced functions of the transmitter. This video is one for the reference library I think.

Love gliders, they will work great here on the farm, there is always wind and lots of hills for slope soaring. Thanks for the tips

Thanks Andrew - followed it slavishly to setup my new Phoenix 2400

This is a great video, and I have seen lots of them! I am working on a Phoenix 2000 setup and this is my first setup with a S8S and a "new to me" Taranis X9D+. Already updated OpenTx on the radio and the firmware for both the transmitter and receiver to ACCST 2.1.0. Lots of things to learn at one time, but I am really enjoying your stuff. Great job at explaining complex things in an interactive way. Thanks...

Andrew! I’ve always been intimidated to program my Taranis , I usually used it primarily for quads because I needed just one model. I set up my ASW28 last night using your video- thank you so much for this video, I can’t wait to fly it again. I did most the mods to this glider as well, ie: removing the wood tray and wheel. Thanks again- you made programming seem easy!

Love it Andrew. I learn loads from you. Thank you so much. I do struggle a bit with programming my Taranis. But what i do sort out with your help, is well worth having the Taranis. As you already know, I took your advise, and i have got this glider. Thanks again. Keith.

Great tutorial for glider set-up Andrew.I just have one suggestion for setting up the ailerons; try differential ailerons. This means letting the ailerons go up more than it goes down, this helps reducing the adverse yaw effect (needing less rudder) and makes for faster and more efficient rolling/turning action.Keep on putting out those videos, they are a great help to a lot of people.With king regards,MeijerKTM

Thank you Andrew, this video really helped! I recently bought an X-lite and your info really crystallised the Opentx programming approach for me. Where others videos offered 20mins of a 'programmer's' view point, yours gives a simple, no nonsense user's guide. The 3 mins in the middle gave me pretty much all I needed to grasp the concept, especially useful that it's all via the tx rather than through a PC. I want to be able to tweak stuff at the field without lugging around a laptop! Thanks again!

Been flying a Volantex ASW28 in a confined landing space with flaps and ailerons on Y lead...what a hellava difference this setup makes (crow) thankyou Andrew, you have done it again.

Thanks for walking (talking) us through this. Great way to learn how to do something. Brilliant as usual. Great thing to be doing when Melbourne's weather ruins any chance of flying anything other than a brick ;)

thanks for that. some handy tips there I didn't know about like the x

Very helpful for my Radiomaster TX16S / Volantex ASW28, thanks! Thanks also for sending some nice flying weather over from OZ to NZ lately :)

Wow, that was a phenomenal explanation. Thanks for sharing!

Cool, I didn’t know that rx had a built in vario- I’ll have to check that out and try your programming! Love the slider setup!

very useful video. powerful open tx, thanks for sharing

Thank you, very helpful and very good explained.

Thanks a lot for post this video. Helped me a lot.

This is still the best video out there - Thank you Andrew!

I'm glad you've done this setup.... Just finished my ASW28 and was hoping to maiden it today but was to windy and I need the flaps and crow for our small field as the approach from the east is a high and steep decent kind of approach over factories and bushes with an open area of runway of about 150m long... And then to do my Pheonix 2000 with the same setup....

Haha! now I know how to set Expo!~ thank you very much! as for the crow braking and all the other features, ..I would forget what switch did what :-D great vid thanks for sharing

I'm shopping a new TX right now because I want to build a balsa, full house, 6-servo wing F5J model (Höllein Inside F5J). My DX6 isn't up to the task. I've been considering a DX9 or iX12. A lot of people seem to like the Taranis with OpenTX though. Even a lot of DLG guys. I haven't really been sold on it so far, but this tutorial makes it look pretty easy. I picked up on the logic of how the programming works after watching you set a couple mixes! I like how sort of direct and bare-bones it is. I don't have to go into a camber presets menu to set up flight modes then camber *system* menu to set my flap mixing, then my mixing menu to set rudder presets and compensation, etc. It just has the logic of what control does what and what it's actuated by under each channel. Very straightforward and very much like writing lines of code. The one downside I see is that you it appears that you can't label what each line of logic is for. It would be easier to keep straight if you could call a mix under a channel 'camber' or 'crow' etc. Keep it up! Watching your TopSky build video ages ago kind of got me more into sailplanes. At the time I thought, "wow, that's a lot of crazy work for an airplane!" but you seemed like a regular guy doing it with good common sense and attention so it was still very encouraging. Now I'm flying DLG and building balsa models! Cheers, Brendan

Mucho thanks for this super helpful video. It's been a few years since i've touched my equipment and this helped me get back into the groove and get several of my fleet ready for a nice week of flying in Hell's Canyon! Fair Skies - PSF

Thanks Andrew. Very neat, well arrange programming. Detailed explanation of the control surface as well. Good job.👍

Great full house description Andrew. I have to admit a liking of aerobatics in my Evo 2600, but even with the full wing aileron mix using flaps I can still set a decent crow and slow the model down for an accurate landing. Works great when sloping to be able to throw in a few tricks.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Hi Andrew, Nice train sound effects. :-)

mr newton, it would be great if you made a video of how to set exactly the same things on INAV using logical conditions. it would be a huge gift for me and I think for many many others. I always follow her, congratulations on her work

Thanks a lot; Very nice job. thks again for sharing

Thanks Andrew. Just got a 4.5m dg808. Looking to see what all the special mixes are im going to want for takoff, flight, landing. thinking i should make up a little dummy plane with cheap servos as a test bed.

Just removed Y harness replaced with two leads to Aileron servos on the RAD Pro (AR600 RMTX16S) so will be setting up same as yours thanks Andrew.

Great explanation, only wish you could explain the same setup on the flysky i6 . I would love to set the Phoenix Evo the same way. Just beginning so struggling along a little.

very helpful in-depth explanation of your setup for soaring thx drew this is perfect will be watching this vid a couple of times haha made a vid about how to make a depron wing with cardboard giving you a shoutout and linking to your vid hope to get your feedback on the vid :D

Thank you!

Andrew, great tutorial. I am pumped to try this set up on my glider too. One question, in the video you mentioned that you set up your glider to have three flight modes: full ailerons, crow braking and camber, but in the set up I only saw you mixing for crow and camber. Did I miss the mixing for full ailerons? Also, do you find camber to be more effective than just dropping down the flaps a little? Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

thank you sir!

Very informative. Today I've learnt something. lol

Great explanation. Thank you. I was wondering if you have the Open TX Companion file that I could get from you? Thanks again for your work, time and effort. Jay.

Thanks Andrew. Super helpful. I am setting up an ASW-28 and the ailerons are setup with a Y connector to a single channel. The crow sub modifier (adding flaps) in the Mixer page underneath Ailerons makes my ailerons twist in opposite directions when I throw my flaps. There has to be a simple fix. Any thoughts? (Taranis X9D and Open TX). I see that you used separate channels for each aileron.

Hi Andrew. Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you could tell me why you use a separate channel for each of the flaps. It strikes me that they’ll always both be doing the same thing unless full wing ailerons are needed. Cheers NOSS

Hi Andrew Hope your well, I’ve just watched your video, great help to me for setting up my Malibu dlg glider. Flight modes wer a bit tricky to do😂🙈 Can I ask what you would recommend for good servos for a 1 Mtr dlg? Cheers all the best.

Andrew, I really love your content ( including the diving clips) and have watched ALL of them for years.. I can't get the Ail to CROW movement correct (with flaps going down the Rt Ail for example always deflects down with it at > 50% (not UP a bit as it should instead) Instead they typically both travel down together.. Yet with NO FLAPS applied, the ailerons both deflect properly. I think its possibly because to get proper Ail deflection I had to Invert both Rt and Left Ail in the OUTPUTS stage initially .. but now that I did that . regardless POS of NEGATIVE value set around 70 under the Curves Function and regardless of if I set the Curve Function to "V < 0" or "X > 0" and even with the Subtrim tweaked from +100 thru -100 or more.. i cant get the Ailerons to deflect in the correct direction UP. At the 50% FLAPS point at time 7:45 is where it' fails. While the the Flaps are travelling down properly, at the 50% point the Ail starts to go Down then not UP.. I'm using the S1 Pot since I have a Q-7XS with no LS Slider. I'm doing this setup on a RC-Motion Shrike.. but will try again on my Phoenix V2 2400 tomorrow..any tips on how to resolve this issue I'm having at Frame 7 minutes and 45seconds into the video would be most appreciated.. Your tips and tricks have always worked VERY well till now.. Thanks in advance..

Andrew - I have not yet went thru all of ur vids, but have you recorded one when you teach how to thermal glide? You have shown slope snoring but not thermals I believe - would you consider doing that including some thory?

hi Andrew what have u covered this wing with ,great watching your tips keep it up bud ,all the best from denbigh north wales uk (iawnski)

Thenks

are these foam wings? what did you put on them?, looks like a lacquer/foil.. is this for protection or just for looks? I spray-painted my foamie orange for visibility but it's steadily peeling off, any recommendations? thx!, oh and great explanation!

Good tutorial, but I can't believe you aren't using companion TX on PC! It makes setup sooo much easier. (Plus, you could then share the eepe file with us.)

The evolution's flaps are set up like the Bix3's, right? They don't send you a reversed servo, do they? All of the wing servo pockets are facing the same direction, except for 1 of the aileron pockets?

Trying to squeeze a full house glider into 6 channels, it seems like a y-harness on the flaps would work. I think they always move together in all modes, other than full ailerons which I'm not interested in. Have I jumped the track? Great videos. Wish I had the beautiful coastal hills to soar that you do. Cheers!

Hi Andrew, your videos are GREAT! Please tell us why you apply film to your wings, it it for stiffness?

thanks you very much andrew for your tutorial very well explained,.you decide me to buy this beautiful asw28.is it possible to obtain Taranis OpenTX eepe file for the ASW 28.thanks again

How is the vario incorporated in the settings. Nice overview. Thanks.

Good

Hi Sir Andrew I houpe you are ok. Using the vario on the glider can you explain the relative altitud setting? Happy New Year! Vítor Lalanda

Andrew I'm a big fan of using Wireless Training with my friends and grandsons.. If I set that up ( normally I do it thru the INPUTs page under SH toggle and some switching logic..) and use the TR Inputs at 100% can the student fly the plane normally without flaps or crow at 100% via the Training Mode : MASTER:SBUS option without any crow or Elev compensation.. and if that works can I replicate this Full House setup in the Student Radio and expect it will behave the same with Crow and flaps in the same way the Master is now? I have identical Q-7XS RAdios I'm going to try this.

Putting in minus 100 or whatever for rates may cause problems with reversed trim as i found out in the air! better to reverse servos in output.

Hi, It appears you have film on the leading edges and some controls surfaces, what's the background to this and do you have a video about it? Thanks.

2:49 Where could I find reinforced tape like this?

Please will this work if Flaps are on a y connector as have only 6chn rx ? thanks Ail are separate chn

Andrew can you help point me in right direction please? I am looking to buy a Introduction 6servo wing glider. I am trying to spec ESC and am struggling to understand how to balance right ESC for both motor and number of servos. I can get a higher amperage ESC Sbec servo eg sunrise 45A but am still unsure if this will a) effect motor performance and b) be enough amperage for 8 total servos (spec is 6A bec max). Can you advise or help please? Thanks Pete. PS I am using Taranis 2019+ and expect to use sbus connections. Thanks in advance.

Andrey what film thickness did you laminate the plane?

Hi Andrew, just a quick word. I think the Phoenix looks like its been laminated, if that's correct is there any structural benefits from doing this please

Have you had much experience programming a RadioLink AT10ii?

Now I know how Space X lands the used rockets!
