Spektrum NX Setup: How to Setup RC Plane-Without Template (NX6/NX8/NX10) 

Thanks!

Thank you for the awesome feedback! If you decide to get a NX8 please use one of my links in description. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions when you get NX radio :)

@@BDTennessee Thank you. That is definitely one of the best pieces of work I’ve seen on RU-vid.

Thanks for the positive feedback and watching!

Appreciate it Jetman! I got affiliate links now,those help a little :)

Appreciate that Stone! Comment anytime need help!

Thanks Alfred!

Thanks for the positive feedback!

David,thanks for the compliment!

Thanks D! Welcome to the channel!

Good info added,Thanks!

Thanks Phil!

Thanks Duke!

Good feature to learn for sure! I been there starting each model from scratch too at one point :D

Thanks for watching and glad video helped! Follow me for future content too :)

Using the monitor i have a method to match different rates and expo to get the same end value/result.Check out my dual rate and expo tutorial... Thanks for sharing your info too :)

@@BDTennessee Yeah, I watched most of that one, but stopped for some reason when you started showing how to move the stick to 20% and set the expo for the same output in each of the three rates. I've now watched the rest of it. You set the expo for the 100% rate to 35% which is just barely more than my 1/3 setting of 33%. I'm not sure what you used at 85%, but I think it was 20%. That's 1/4.25 which is really close to my 1/4th setting. And you used 15% for the 70% rate which is 1/4.67. I understand that you're wanting the same throw at 1/5 of the stick's movement. That's not very far on either side of neutral. I think if I were to use that method, I would match the throws at 25 or 33 percent of the stick travel. However, I'm not sure I could feel a 5% difference in expo at a rate of 70% or a difference of 10% expo at a rate of 100%. I generally want at least 15% expo and no more than 35%. Every plane I have is different, especially for the rates. There is no one-size-fits-all. Expo is a very subjective thing and everybody is different. I just divide the rate by 3 or 4 and enter the value. Sometimes I tweak it based on the way it feels, but most times I never change it.

@@txkflier thats for sure,we use what works :)

Thanks Tom for joining the channel! NX6 setup is same as NX8 and NX10.

Airbrakes have there own channel?

Thanks Chris! I will look at using with AccuRC...

I have another video on channel showing how to setup as3x and i use a template.

100% or -100% (Pos 0 flaps up)depending on the receiver is 0 degrees of flaps. Numbers are percentages not degrees. Airplane owners manual will give rates of percentages or mm of deflection and you adjust accordingly. If the book doesnt have recommended starting points then i use 15* half and 30* full or 20* half and 40* full. Side note:values i was using for video purposes were generic numbers however i have seen some use those percentages.

Yes I'm a private pilot myself and I set up all my switches as the would be in a full scale aircraft flaps, gear etc.

What is the warning its telling you? Throttle high?

Bonjour avez vous résolu votre problème ?

I have used Spektrum and Lemon (both dsmx protocol). AR620 in video is new and has built in antenna. Lemon RX i use the 6 channel diversity (16 bucks shipped)

@@BDTennessee Thanks BD

Correct,thats standard labeling for Spektrum switches. Template sets radio like book setup by clicking on the model. So i made this video to start without a base setup.

I edited out on accident when making video haha. Go to Function List > Servo Setup > Click on Travel and scroll to reverse > Click enter on the switch icon above elevator. I show how to do this in the "Function List tutorial" on the channel as well for visual reference.

@@BDTennessee ok thank you!

@@voyhager3 thanks for watching.Follow the page for future content :)

Omfg thank you. I spent hours just trying to reverse my elevator servo. Was extremely close to throwing this Rektum crap in the dumpster and going back to my futaba (which isn’t user friendly either, but at least they know servo reversing is a common setting we need to use). In a hundred more hours I would not have figured out that the word “travel” at the top of the screen was selectable and could be changed, when the other menus aren’t like that. Got it working now, thank you!

Apprentice (Normal or Mini) Cessna 182 (FMS or Blitz RC) and Aero Scout. Several other options but thats 1 of 3 different styles.

System Setup > Aircraft Type > Next Screen > Choose Plane Pic

You can assign them to same switch as flight modes.So it will control both.

System settings > Scroll down to model utilities > delete models.

Eddie, im using the stock template in this video. If you have dark scheme,its Legacy Template. Recent update cause the letter to have issues showing up with Legacy Pallette. Change to a different pallette and issues will be solved.

You have a minimum start voltage.If battery is below that when plugging into ESC it will alarm on radio. When unplugging thats a glitch that happens. Its cause it sees voltage lost.

@BD Tennessee really appreciate you getting back to me. I'm a newbie to rc at 67 and looking to get the kids and grandkids into this hobby. One of them at 2, now 3, has always been fascinated with aircraft. I'm a Ham radio operator and have them listing to aircraft and the international space station. I understand now about the battery being removed and the warning of low voltage. Confused on the Warning coming in after plugging in the battery where it shows 8.1V. I started with a charged battery or at least almost charged battery so what is the minimum start voltage and is there a way to lower it on the NX8 so the warning doesnt come on from say 8.0 volts on up? Thanks again, Fred we4fm

@@we4fm175 go into telemetry screen, click on smart battery. You will see minimal and starting voltage. Confirm settings and change them if need too.

@BD Tennessee I will do that later today when I get home. Actually looking forward to it. Thanks again, your help is much appreciated!

@@we4fm175 sounds good,Give me a shout anytime my friend!

Id probably mess up alot writing :D

This video i use a Spektrum receiver and complete walk through.Only thing not shown is putting into the actual plane. What part do you need help with?

When you put a spectrum receiver into a plug-in play plane I’ve seen the process where you have to set up safe and expert mode a different way and also put the aircraft on it snows click a button put it level click a button and so forth. I’m not certain of all the steps when or what to do.

Meant to say on its nose

@@derrickward8031 oh gotcha. @SpektrumRC has a complete series setting up. Only difference from this video is setting up safe and as3x flight modes. When you go into forward programming it tells you each step on the transmitter.

@@BDTennessee Thank you

Change the model to Acro instead of sailplane

@@BDTennessee Thank you for getting back to me. A friend came by yesterday, and he said the same thing. BTW I hooked up my WACO to the NX and now the motor won't run. I've tried different things but nothing is working. Any ideas?

@@robertwren2289 pm me on FB,might have to diagnose that directly.

Battery is low...

@@BDTennessee really? Wow, it was at 3.9 v

@@foostar777 check the low battery alarm and see what its set on

@@BDTennessee it's set on 3.5v by default

@@foostar777 in the manual it says thats when it flashes. So maybe something else

Settings > Timer > Last Screen > Timer Start INH Timer Stop INH I show this in one of the latest videos (Top 5 requested changes) and Timers Explained if you need video reference.

@@BDTennessee got it, but on screen flight timer is now gone. Been watching your videos. Good job. Have another problem - cannot with flap speed setting. Selected 2 SEC but it does not work.

@@richardranaudo3991 you INH the timer not the last screen. When you go to the last screen you have 3 options. Timer Start,Timer Stop and Timer Clear In the Flap system do you see a word bottom right,that says "Link" or "Indep"?

@@BDTennessee I did recover the timer. Thanks. My problem now is how to slow the flaps. My Timber X with NX 6 requires I put three flap positions on the D switch. The flaps are connected to the GER channel via Y harness. I set up the desired mix ELE>GER mix (ELE should be slave) but only the elevator slows. The flaps move at normal rate.

@@richardranaudo3991 plug the Y Harness that goes to the flaps into channel 6. Then go into System Setup > Aircraft Type > 1 Ail 1 Flap. Then setup Flap System to setup percentages and speed.

Low Camera quality.It was a GoPro from 2014

Thanks Michael!
