Taranis & OpenTX 2.1 Quick Tip: Setting up and using automatic timers 

I think this is very useful for overal flying time. To be safe when flying 15 minutes because it can, but not always on the throttle.

I've been using throttle percent. In the absence of voltage or current sensors it is a way to prevent running the battery too low. If it is windy then I use higher throttle which uses the battery more quickly so faster count down and shorter flight is safer.

A neat trick is to set your disarm switch (flipping your arm switch back to the disarm state) as a flight reset in the Special Functions menu. No more having to manually reset your flight timers every single flight!

You can set a 2 way momentary switch to reset both timers. It's quick and easy. I've set it on the SH switch. A quick flick and both timers reset.

Mine counts up and not down. And it blinks all the time. Would have been useful how you did it.

how did you get the word "Self Level" on top of your model? is it part of the graphic orbit changes when you change models?

I have been trying to go to your GPS video and it says its private.

Great tips!

Does anyone know if you can mix ESC's I blew a 20A Simonk and now having trouble getting another off eBay. I got refunded for the first now the next lot are late. I have just took a week off to go flying. Now it looks like a waste. I could cancel my hols but I found an RC shop 15 miles away that sell little bee 20amp. If I bought one of these would it be OK. Or do they all have to be the same.

I use one of the special functions bound to the trainer switch as a quick reset for all the timers. It's a bit less fiddly than holding down and resetting each one. Th% is also interesting as it counts down faster the more throttle you use, so if you spend more time at high throttle you'll reach zero quicker than pootling around on half throttle.

Hi there, my timer is not activated by the THs, it starts as soon as I switch the unit on. Can any bodyhelp me on this. Thank you.

When using telemetry, how do I setup my taranis to show Fuel that is not in % but in mAH. That is used mAH.

cool

Useless for a drone thr is always at '0' (50%).

I did not know the long pressure and reset the timers, thank you. Finally a free switch to control anything :-D

how do I get my radio to read out rssi values and warnings with voice? And as well as a voice countdown instead of beebs and haptics. my taranis x9d plus is running on version 2.1.8

When I set mine to ths the timer just runs. I found that its reading the pitch stick for the timer... How can I change this?
