I really like the paint job on that T-28 and I support tinkering with new stuff. That said so far for me the best thing about the reflex system is the spare servo extensions I get from it. I replace them with 630 or 631's. The Reflex V3 has some great new features but has the same problem as the V2 with the cabling.
Grazie per la spiegazione su come modificare la direzione dei servi. Io l'ho montata su un PhoenixS 1600 e la direzione dell'elevatore era invertita. Solo selezionando altro aereo sono riuscito a visualizzare il menù che ti consente di invertire la direzione dei servo. Grazie! 💪😉😊
Yes. Other Plane is a generic plane config that allows you to make changes to the direction. All the other planes are FMS Specific... Thanks for watching my video...
Yes, the Futaba should be fine. Take a look at the instructions for the V3. You'll connect the RX to the Reflex and servos plug into the reflex too. There is a MODE plug from the reflex that will go to a spare channel on your rx. Set a 3 pos switch for that channel.
Bob, First setup your throws and control surface direction in the tx as you normally do. Then activate the Reflex. I have mine on a 3 position switch and turn on Stability mode (Self Level). This will enable me to see the control surface movement and confirm they are going the correct direction. If they aren't, I can change how the GYRO controls direction with the app. (Positive or Negative)
Will - I appreciate your effort with this video. However, as I have NO experience with a gyro - some of it seemed like Greek to me. If I get in a gyro situation - I might want a little help at that time. Thanks.
We all learned in the days without a Gyro. I've used them on several planes and on some I've seen an improvement in performance.. That locked in feel. On others, I don't find an benefit. I yank them out, or swap out the RX and use it somewhere else... (Spektrum systems)
Do you have a link for the Lemmon Rx that you are using? I'm going to put one in a new build I'm doing and that sounds like what I'd like to add to the Reflex V3 I've got.
Hey, great video thankyou. Im just about to maiden a Xly Tasman with the Reflex V3 installed. At 1:40 you show the orientation of the reflex for 'other plane' configuration. My problem is that when I select 'other plane' in the mobile app an image of the reflex turned 180° is shown on screen. Im worried now which way to position it? Be great if you could have a look into this please. Thanks, Daniel - Ireland .
Daniel, I removed my Reflex V3 from that plane (its a test plane for various rx's and such....). I would place the reflex as the picture indicates. Don't fasten down untill you confirm things are moving correctly.. The good new is, you can reverse the movement of the control surfaces.. So get your plane setup with the Gyro in OFF. Make sure all control surfaces are working right. Then turn on stability mode, check surfaces and adjust with app as needed. Double check and go fly.. Good luck..
I had the same question, on the app in the video it appears that the orientation is rotated 180 degrees front to back - wire ports facing forward in the app and wire ports facing back in the actual video install. Is that correct? I can't find information anywhere else on this. I checked my setup and control surfaces are responding properly, I'm not a 100% sure if the front to back orientation affects the setup if the control surfaces are responding correctly. Mine is setup with wire ports facing forward as in the app, I haven't flown yet.
Well, after seeing your video I will stick to Hobbyeagle's A3S4. It's almost the same price but much more capable. The Reflex app looks horrible compared to the A3S4 app. Drawback (maybe) is that it needs a usb connection cable to a Windows PC or laptop.
I have a few of the Hobby Eagles and they very nice. I liked this option for a few reasons. One I fly a lot of FMS planes and this Reflex system has worked pretty well. The Second reason is I really like being able to change the setting from the phone. I'm hoping with more enhancements the App will improve. (Its a little rough right now...). Many of the FMS planes come with this Gyro, so using it on non FMS planes in the future after the plane is destroyed is another win for me... Thanks for you comments. Appreciate it..
I don't have an Android phone so I can't help much. But you are saying the Android FMS App link in the Reflex documentation isn't working? If so, I'd ask FMS support to offer assistance... Sorry I cant help..
I found the latest update took a while to connect and several times it would fail to connect. After a couple tries it started working. Try your app a few more times. Make sure the plane is powered and the red light is visible on the Reflex. Good luck.
Where should the reflex gyro be located? Should it be located on the cg mark? I tried putting it on my scratch build foam plane and it made it uncontrollable.
Larry, I try and get it as close to the CG as possible. The reflex shouldn't have made your plane uncontrollable unless the gyro corrected directions weren't correct. Meaning your TX controls were correct, but the Gyro controls weren't corrected in the right orientation. Did you confirm the Gyro Stabilization mode moved the control surfaces in the right direction? Let me know.. Will
@@SteffenRC I didn't realize how much the placement of the gyro mattered. I just assumed you could just glue it down anywhere on the plane. I've since moved it to a better position, and it flies much better now. Thanks
Why my app doesnt work?! Bluetooth is connected, but cant open plane from tap. Reads connected, but doesnt open. Can anyone help. I try 3 different phones. Always same
Make sure your reflex is connected to a planes rx and the plane is powered up. I just upgraded my FMS App and I was having lots of issues of not connecting. Then after many tries, it started to work again. But, having it connected to the plane worked best for me. Just connecting to an ESC didn't.. (Maybe it was just me and the timing.. doesn't make sense.....).
@@SteffenRC I solve problem. Aileron and throttle plugs was acros. Now its working, but connecting bluetooth is weak I said. Not so good thing now days. Hope it works anyway and i can thrust it. When i bought this, I think that reflex is high quality product, but sure anymore, will see. My plane is old Hobbyking grasshopper L4 1400mm and I chooce Fms piper 1400mm profile, because other plane choice get my aileron servos full turn. I dont know why. Thanks answering and try to help me. Good times with flying🙂
@@canonhd1000 wait. Be very careful using an FMS plane for a non FMS plane. Other plane allows you to reverse servos and reduce throws. Just test the gyro directions well. Good luck
My Reflex V3 died, and I returned it. It worked initially but got to where it wouldn't let me change models or edit the parameters using the FMS app on my iPhone. Also, I was disappointed in the app. I like the Hobby Eagle A3 Super 4 better. Here's one of my videos on editing the parameter file used by the Reflex software. I modify the settings for the FMS plane that's most like the non-FMS plane I'm putting the gyro in. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XqyffXgFh24.htmlsi=Qz7LT8k9_hKiPLmM
Yep. The Reflex have their place, but their are a few other options out there too. I watched your video on editing the files. That was awesome. You gotta be some type of IT System Engineer to go down that path.. I'm just an IT Sales guy, so I like the quick and easy methods..😎. Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it.
