Wow, you’re the OpenTX champion of the world, Andrew! 😲 👍

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

I wish!

@raven_fpv 3 года назад

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!

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Thanks mate. To be honest I need to watch Lee's explanations before I do mine sometimes.

@coreyperez13 3 года назад

I don't have a need, but is pretty cool to see different methods of "manipulating" OpenTX for cool features!

@RobB_VK6ES 3 года назад

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

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Yes good point Rob.

@WinstonSmith1984 3 года назад

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.

@m_jackson 3 года назад

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.

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Yes, same here, slider down for brakes. This was Marc's setup and he wanted it his way.

@marc_frank 3 года назад

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

@archivist17 3 года назад

Handy tip! Thanks Andrew.

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...🤔🤔🤔🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Yes, specially slopers and gliders

@RadioMasterRC 3 года назад

Great video :)

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Great radio, thanks

@koalatails6391 3 года назад

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).

@koalatails6391 3 года назад

@@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.

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

This was Marc's setup and he fitted a motor to his DLG. I am happy to have flaps / brakes on the slider.

@comsterfpv9668 3 года назад

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?

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

I guess a switch would be OK, maybe with some "slow" for smooth throttle increase. I have only ever used the throttle stick myself.

@comsterfpv9668 3 года назад

Thank you

@jcnorth 3 года назад

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.

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

I have heard that but never bothered to test it. A task for today

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

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.

@SomeGuyInSandy 3 года назад

Wow, that's pretty cool. How did you get your name printed on your radio? Is that an option if I buy one?

@rusack7174 3 года назад

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.

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Clever ploy by Radiomaster to ensure reviewers have a positive feeling about the TX16S

@SomeGuyInSandy 3 года назад

@@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!

@nickhull83 3 года назад

@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!

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

I have lots of video on flap setup.

@jakkalsleroux1727 3 года назад

Hi Andrew, may I ask what receiver you use with your TX16S ?

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

D4R for this demo, but mostly RX6R or X6R

@knutneumann7311 2 года назад

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.

@AndrewNewton 2 года назад

Thanks Knut. Yes OpenTX is the same across all radios. The screens may look a little different but it's only cosmetic.
