I went with a different vendor. Makes it super easy to clean, work on, or pop them off to fit through a doorway when storing.

You're Welcome

@@benpennington8941 setup my DX6e with the DXS to get my brother and nephew into flying

Yes, it takes a little figuring on the right position but I wear a 3XL helmet and I can fit it in the saddlebag. If I knew before, I would have gotten the bags without the shock cutout because the quick release brackets make it clear the shocks anyway

Viking Bags sells them on their website with the Saddle bags .. you just have to type it in their search bar on their website.

Glad I could help. Thank you for the comment.

I'm glad I could help

Not sure what you're referring to.

@@benpennington8941 sorry, it's just that your voice sounds very much like this youtuber who has a gun related channel.

Gotcha, no worries man. I haven't gotten that far yet lol. Maybe someday, but I think it's pretty saturated already.

You're welcome, I'm really glad this video has been able to help some people.

Yeah that's basically it. The advantage of programmable master is that the student would have filo control of switches and everything, so if someone had a scale model and wanted all the controls but also wanted a backup pilot just in case, then you would use programmable master. If you just want to give a new pilot stick control only, then pilot is the way to go, and much better for 99% of the times I've needed it.

Happy to help, glad to see it's useful

The reason to use pilot link versus programmable master is to only use the stick inputs and nothing else. I don't believe that any of the settings were changed in the DXS. I am fairly certain that once you rebind the DXS to the aeroscout it should have retained all of its original programming. You will absolutely need to perform a ground check to ensure all the controls are correct before trying to fly again. If I'm wrong and it did affect the settings, you can rebind to your radio and fly as you have been until you can get the cable. Hope that helps.

@@benpennington8941 thanx again for your input 😊👍

@@MelinsRCTech no problem, let me know how it goes for you

I bought the quick disconnect system from great bike gear. They are awesome to work with, helped me with the assorted hardware I needed to make it work. I have installed them on both my bikes. www.greatbikegear.com/#/

@@benpennington8941 Thanks! Very helpful vid. I'll give great bike gear a call, looks like they are "Easy Brackets" brand.

Yes, you will need to bind your radio to the plane and do a complete setup. Then bind the dxs to your dx6 as the slave radio, {dx6 being the master} and use pilot link so none of the dxs programming will matter, only the stick positions. You should not have to change anything in dxs. Do this and then verify all the control directions, throws, travel etc on the ground before attempting flight. The master over ride is turned on so that instead of flipping the switch to assume control, all you have to do is move the sticks on the master radio in order to take control. This is much faster and easier than remembering to flip the switch and then fly when a crash is about to happen. Again, test this on the ground. Flip it to slave and have your son move all the controls around and while he's doing that just move your sticks and ensure that it responds accordingly.

@@benpennington8941 thank you very much for the answer 😁👍

Do you need to rebind the slave radio to the master each time you turn them of or do they reconnect to each other automaticly? Mvh Pierre

@@MelinsRCTechYou will have to create a model in your Dx6 for the airplane. Once you bind to it to the airplane it will reconnect each time that model is selected. The DXS can only be bound to one model I believe, so once you bind it to the Dx6, it will stay connected to that selected model. If the DXS is bound to anything else including this airplane, it will have to be rebound to the Dx6 before you can use the trainer function again.

I go over the master override in second half of the video if you want a better explanation of what it does.

First I'm working on the assumption that you dx6 is the new style black dx6 with the wireless trainer options. An Der dx6i or original dx6 cannot be used as the master radio in the wireless buddy boxing. Being a rtf model just means that it was bound to the plane before it was packaged for sale. There's still a bind process and it should be in the owners manual in case of a loss of bind. I just looked up the dxe because I've not held one, and it doesn't have any wireless trainer options but it can be bound to your dx6 as the slave radio as shown in the video. You will have to bind your dx6 to the plane in question. I would do this: Create a model in your dx6 for this plane in particular. Bind to the plane, complete all the setup to fly it with the dx6 and make sure that you set the throws and rates, expo etc to your liking and make sure you are comfortable flying and taking over in that setup. Then bind the dxe to your dx6 in the pilot link mode per the video. This will no change any of the settings in the dxe because it only uses the stick inputs and all the settings will be in your dx6. This will allow you to have full control of the plane with dx6 and use the dxe for training. Then when the other pilot is ready, you only have to rebind the dxe to the plane and all the settings will still be the same. Do a thorough pre check off all the controls after each rebind and you should be good to go. Feel free to contact me again if you need clarification or further assistance. Good luck and have fun, and also thanks for helping another pilot learn.

If it's a newer dx6, use it as the master and you can bind the dx6i to it as described in the video, I believe. I haven't put my hands on the dx6. If you want to use the dx6i as the master then you are stuck with using the trainer cord, which is basically like a headphone cable. Look through the dx6 menus and see if the trainer option has the options in the video. Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes, if the 8e has the same type of setup you can bind any spektrum radio to it. You are limited to the channels that the bound radio has. For helicopters you need 5 channels for pitch but on fixed wing you can use 4, possibly even a 3 but I haven't tried it. I have used a little spektrum bnf game controller looking radio. It works in pilot link mode because you are only transmitting gimbal positions so the computerized portion doesn't matter. It's brilliant on spektrums part. Let me know if that answers your questions.

Ben Pennington you’re the man bro! Just bound the dxe to my dx8e so the xe is the slave. I have a question a bit off topic, but since you seem extremely knowledgeable, I thought I’d ask: do you ever lose signal intermittently with your Spektrum TX’s? I’ve been having some serious issues with signal cutting in and out. I have a video on my channel flying a timber on water and I lost signal twice but still brought her in, and I just got a brand new Valiant that I took off, tracked straight as an arrow, but then lose signal putting my plane in a tree. At first I thought it was the receiver, but the Valiant was never flown with a brand new Spektrum rx. I’ll post the video from yesterday on my channel. Check it out and tell me if you have any suggestions

Sounds like an issue with your radio bud. I've only ever had issues losing signal with a 9 channel hobbyking orange rx receiver. That happened multiple times. With other orange rx receivers, spektrum receivers, never had issues. I fly my big helicopters with just satellites into the flybarless unit. No issues. I have had wires get ripped out and lost power causing crashes but that's not the fault of the equipment. I suggest doing a good range check before you fly anything again. Check your transmitter voltage too. If you let it get too low you will have issues. A new model should be set up correctly but you never. I don't make a habit of doing range checks regularly but if I have an issue that's the first thing I do.

If you have more questions look me up on Facebook messenger, it's way faster.

Let me add, if you think it's a radio problem, call horizon hobby customer support. They are the best in the industry. Use the call back option instead of sitting there on hold, and they will get you fixed up. I have had them fix things and not even charge me, my friend sent in a radio and they updated it and fixed things that weren't even showing problems yet.
