@@RCVideoReviews can u charge the controller with the usb cable provided . or what charge cable do i need to charge through the controller . thanks buddy . love your vids
@@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632 You can charge the radio with the included USB-C. I've charged it from just about any USB charger I have laying around including Apple, Desktop, and a Laptop USB-C AC power supply. They all work.
I just bought one of these radio and am a total noob so I was thinking I maybe bit off more then I could chew but these videos have basically changed that. Thank you so much !!
Very awesome to hear that. I'm glad they're helping you rein the radio in. It can be a little much at first, but once the light starts to go on, you'll find out you can do just about anything. Thanks for watching and the nice comment. J

This entire series is fantastic! Clear, organized information and excellent video work. Videos are logically broken down for easier consumption. For me as an old Heathkit/Futaba/HiTec/Spektrum guy I got into drones and this radio is so perfect! Lots to learn but with these videos, I am learning fast - I will be putting all of my planes (and drones) on this platform thanks to the lessons learned here. Thank you for this great work!!
WOW just subscribed. Not new to RC but thought it was time to make upgrade. I’ve been using flysky Tx & Rx they worked great and very simple and easy to use. I like the radiomaster because I can use my existing Rx’s. I wanted a couple extra channels and features but this thing will do every thing except land the plane (unless that’s in another tutorial 😊). I’m waiting for delivery of the radio so I wanted to get jump on figuring it out. I will check out all your videos. Excellent presentatiov

I'm following along very intently trying to keep up even though I don't understand any of the numbers, settings, frequencies, charts, words, terms, or what any of the jargon means but I'm super excited to do this and you're making it accessible for me by even having this! Even though I'm still early and confused I have no idea how anyone would navigate this without a video like this. Since I am hesitantly investing the limited money I have into this hobby I very much appreciate you putting this up!
You're very welcome. I have a pretty large library of OpenTx material, so just take your time and have fun with it. Don't be afraid to play with different settings on the radio. You can't hurt anything until you actually start to fly.
@@RCVideoReviews Awesome, I just subscribed and liked! Been watching videos and messing with it since I got it. Right now I've been stuck trying to find out why when calibrating the elevator won't go down under center when I bring the right stick down and it snaps to the top when I push it up. The ele only moves invertedly when I move the left throttle stick up and down and it never goes down past the center when I pull the right stick down. When the throttle is down at idle and right stick at the center the channels read like this: 02 Ele 46% 03 -100% and if I pull the left stick down it stays at 46% and when the throttle is at 0% the elevator stays at 0% and never goes under, it only snaps up to 66-100% or is none of this even a problem and that is exactly how it's supposed to work?

Loved this video for future reference, but I'm stuck after working with Velocidrone and RadioMaster TX16S support staff trying to get them talking to each other and just have the transmitter act as a joystick controller for the Velocidrone SIM. We have failed after a week of trying this and that and the time it takes for them to respond to me and me to them is killing us as far as efficiency. Other words, we wasting a ton of time on a simple thing. I felt like someone else had to have experienced this same issue so I've found RUclips to be a valuable resource at times. I thought I nail it when I saw your video. But it never discussed using the transmitter as a joystick other than how to put it in Joystick Mode. We can of knew that one. I was wondering if you could make or direct me to a video you've already made on just the basics of how to unbox it, how to connect it to your Windows 10 or higher PC and including maybe one of the most popular simulators made by Velocidrone out there that most racing pilots are using to practice and get started with. I was told I may need 100 hours of SIM time before I should go buy a real drone. True or Not? Don't know. But I just can't seemed to get started. I feel like we all are missing something very simple and just have not figured out what yet.... Please help or send me to someone who can? And I am willing to pay for consultation.....up to a point... LOL

I have followed and subscribed to the channel, to learn how to use the Radiomaster TX16S and it is effectively the most enlightening that I found. Congratulations to the channel and keep it up. I bought a radio like this, although I haven't received it yet (Black friday), but one question I wanted to clarify is the following: On Radio Setup the Default channel order that is in AETR, if you change to any other such as TAER, everything will be fine or there will be a problem, as it says in the manual : "Because the channel input order of the built-in multi-protocol transmitting module of the RadioMaster TX16S remote control is AETR, in the Default channel order option, be sure to select the AETR order '" Therefore, I don't see the interest in having more options besides the ATER option if there may be any problems in the future Thank you and my best regards from Portugal.
Thanks again; why I messed my controller up shorted the main board when charging some how and ordered and replaced it. Then I went to set everything up and the sdcard was corrupted. Ok now all is good so I just started swallowed my pride and started over again including backing up all my data on this TX16s. Always leaning something. Thanks again.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial it really helps. Clear an concise explanations I look forward to watching the videos in the series. Seasons greetings from Yorkshire England.
I just brought the radiomaster tx16s I have a cinewhoop coming in tomorrow trying to learn how to set it up for the first time with the radiomaster t16 s
You're welcome. All of the OpenTx videos I have using the TX16s as the demo unit will also apply to the Jumper T18. From a software standpoint, these two radios are identical.
And again i loved it .bit outdated now but still kinda works great .now i feel like i have a new radio again .Thank you! oh i know you dont do drones .you might but i never seen you with one. any chance you could do a full setup for a fpv drone or a friend to do one or send me to a url/youtrube site so i can watch, as im always messin things up im ok building just the radio in depth . as i have short term memory and rely on these videos a lot ,if not its ok i will work it out somehow :) thanx i have the tx16s with happymodel ES24TX pro adapter on the back :) and hdzero goggles with analog and um walksnail adapter so im kinda good with anytrhing not DJI.. i realy appreceate your work and anyones that helps you as i would not be doing this without you and a few others (your definatly my radio Man) finally got rid of then scripts i never used woohoo
Strange that GregE and TxFlyer both reported, in their posts below, the same issue as I experienced with SB when carrying out the Switch Test . A reboot cured the problem.
The touch screen? Hmmm ive had to use mine on the nirvana and what a pain in the arse! Thank god we will have the choice off touch and buttons with radio master, the nirvana really needed that.
I discuss it in this video briefly: ruclips.net/video/QaEbn9R6QGc/видео.html As far as I know, there is only one way to do it: 1) Get the source code for the multi protocol module. 2) Edit the source code and key in your own global unique identifier. 3) Compile that source code and flash both radios with it.
Nice job! I'm a 107 certified Drone pilot and just received my new Eachine's version of the TX16S. Wow, it's very confusing to me coming from a Jumper T8SG. The problem I'm having is transferring the models from the old Jumper T8SG as it's not indicated on the open TX companion 2.3....
That play delay feature is a basic SW debounce on an input. It's very common to implement on any input of a processor, especially mechanical switches as these litterally bounce a couple of times upon switching. To us humans it's indetectible, but these electronics pick them up very easily, as they can scan them a couple of hundred thousand times a second, or even millions of times a second.
So nice walkthrough, but I am brand new to flying… have had old school rc cars of every type! How did you get crossfire configure on there? Ordered the Cinnabot 3.0 with crossfire and have the radio master crossfire module in route… trying to get things dialed in so I can be ready to fly, but I’m unsure where to start
I have a sail plane with spoilers. I am able to operate the spoilers by a 3-position switch. My rudder and elevators are operated on my right hand stick. I'd like to operate the spoilers for yaw control on my left hand stick. My RX is set up with rudder in ch 1, Elev. in ch 2, ESC in ch 3, left spoiler in ch 5, and right spoiler in ch 6. Thank you
You can use inputs to map any physical control you have to a label. From there, the label can be attached to any channel in the mixer. You should check out some of the videos I've done on Inputs and Mixes.
This old brain is trying to get my quad "Inductrux" into the 16s without any luck. I found a printout of the quad Horizon Hobby BLH8516 FPV pro manual. Every time a set it up something does not work. Each time is something else.... How do you see it being done? Thanks for any help. Continued success.I have it bound, armed, 1 flight mode. It still way far from where it should when properly setup in the radio. It flys, some control, no hover or change in flight modes. Looking forward to hearing from you and your instruction.
Oh man you did a great job or made best detail video . I bought this radio , and a lot from this video. Need you guide line . In my radio , edge tx version installed , Pls tell me edge tx version is good or open tx version is good ?? Hope u give better way .
Great explanation. I am a subscriber! I am a Newby to Rc model flying (and building) in New Zealand. I have bought a Microaces DH.2 model in the building phase. I have the Radiomaster TX16s and had the Spectrum micro-receiver package supplied. When I try to bind, the seperate servos work, but nothing I do will got the motor to work. Another identical micro-receiver gives the same result. I know the motor works, because I have attached it to another Spectrum micro-receiver (a larger version with servos integrated). I have contacted Microaces models for help. Other than sending me a new receiver, they were unable to provide an explanation. They have no experience with the Radiomaster TX16s. I'm unable to complete the model until I get this problem solved. I do have Spectrum based models already bound to this transmitter. The Champ, UMX Turbo Timber are two examples. I would be grateful to you or any viewer that has encountered this issue and solved it, or just knows from experience, what I'm doing wrong. As a Newby, any explanation of corrective action, would necessarily need to be step by step basic. Hope you can help. I'm very keen to get my little indoor model flying.
Ok, if you have two different receivers that are bound and you know they're bound because the servos operate but neither of them operate the motor, your problem must like in your model setup somewhere. I would suggest learning to use your channel monitor. From the model screen press the MODEL button, then press it again. From there, operate your throttle. You should see both MIX and OUTPUT lines move. If they both move then you need to make sure your ESC is connected to the channel that is moving. It's highly unlikely you have a problem with the radio or the receiver.
@@RCVideoReviews So sorry about the very late reply. For some reason my email replies have been sent to an old email gmail address. I couldn't work out how I was emailing people using my standard email address and not getting replies. I had a second address as one of my 'security settings,' fail-safe, whatever and recently I have found replies to mail sent from my main address seem to be routed to my 'other' email address. Go figure! Thanks for the reply. The issue was fixed by another Club member.
Finally got subscribed, sorry it took so long. I think I have viewed most of your videos and they have helped tremendously. I am trying to get my neighbors radio to show the throttle icon on the input page but it will not do it, it only shows 3 dashes in place of the icon. Cant figure it out, tried to find that in you videos but no go. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work.
I have created 3 models I believe and it is always like that. Not sure what he did when he got the radio to cause this. I even updated the firmware and SD card but no luck. I have sent a question to Radiomaster to see what they say but not sure how responsive they are. I do appreciate your quick response, Thanks
Its all about the firmware. If you can afford Spektrum , then you should buy Spektrum, if not buy the Radiomaster. If you want the multi - modulation thing then go for Radiomaster as well. If a single well executed RF modulation is what you want then Spektrum is hard to beat.
That's ridiculous. I can afford Spektrum and if you GAVE me one I would put it in a blender and stick with my Radiomaster. EdgeTX on this hardware is an easy call over Spektrum.
Can someone help me I have a extra 300 bnf with spectrum ar631 When I bind to safe mode the asx3 and safe works when I bind without safe mode the as3x does not function even after I move throttle 25% Also I am having problem with throttle I recreated the same model not working When throttle stick all way down position the throttle is at full blast and when I move stick all way up no change I tried the inverted that did not do anything Not sure what causing this Thanks
what is enalbe max throw under internal rf mean? if i switch it on, throttle runs even though kill switch enabled? also is the RF protocol x2f? how do you exit range test?
Nice video, newbie old timer to rc, i find it overwhelming when it comes to open TX but hopefully it will sink in the brain bucket!! After watching you're other video's came across this one, I am a RTF guy but i want to learn on open TX and get a radio master radio so i can start getting better rc planes, not many choices for RTF planes! Do you have a video showing how to program and bind a plane from start to finish? Thank you very much, Semper Fi!
The Radiomaster TX16s comes with a multi-protocol module which lets you bind with all kinds of different receivers. I do not have a video showing how to bind with every receiver out there, but I have done a number of videos showing how to bind with some compatible receivers. ruclips.net/video/pT_19PVHTsU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Jfxmw--1Brg/видео.html
Thanks for your great content! I am revisiting RC after many years as technology seems to have reached another level! One thing I wonder about is: Why to people tear out their batteries from the plane and check the voltage from their smart planes when this info is already available in the telemetry?
Not all planes have flight pack telemetry--most don't. Don't confuse flight pack voltage with voltage fed to the Rx which is usually available via A2 or A1. That is a reduced value--usually 5v from the BEC, but it is not an indicator of flight pack voltage.
@@RCVideoReviews Aha, well I just managed to get the smart telemetry from my Horizon Timber plane (by using DSMX instead of the DSM protocol) into my EdgeTX radio and see the individual cell voltages are there.
Perfect. You can do a lot when you know flight pack voltage. You should check this out: ruclips.net/video/Q5s7zB0NDCQ/видео.html I uses this whenever my setup gives me flight pack voltage.
I have followed you OK up until calibration, my left stick can only be centred when the sticks at its lowest point ie 6 o'clock when I push the stick to centre it shows 12 on the screen the only movement on the stick is from 9 to 3 & above. I have no lower movement below 9 to 3
Hello, thanks the video i setup my radio as i watched the video. I am new to edgetx and just got a new RMTx16x Mkii with 2.7.1. I need to update the firmware so I will have options for R9M but i'm not sure where/how to do that. I opened Edgetx 2.7companion and setup my radio profiles and then in settings i 'checked' flexr9m and lua. then went to file>download but the download was greyed out (not active). Could you point me in the correct direction?
I have just bought this tx and I love it although it will take me time to learn all these terms. It is assumed that I know what Haptic, ttl , rssi and so on means! I feel quite stupid as I just dont know. I got 80% of what you said and it was a very informative video and a biv thanks. Question...is there a website or link you can give me that explains all these terms please?
Horrible experience with my TX16s, between flights I the transmitter seem a little different but just switched it off. Hour or so later I turned it on and it on and the screen flickered. It was not on the model i was flying and giving high throttle alarm! long story short. It had reset and SWITCHED FROM THROTTLE ON THE LEFT TO THROTTLE ON THE RIGHT! All Special functions are gone I had S1 for volume and S2 for screen brightness both deleted and when I try to reprogram them S1and S2 are not avaliable on the system! I been in the hobby since 1968 still have my first transmitter and everyone since,I sold my Kraft Signature Series a few years ago ! This is the only transmitter I like as much as the Kraft Signature! But I think Im going to throw it in the trash! I have never had a failure with any till now and cant tell you how bad I felt when it sunk in what had happen! I left a note to the support folks! but not much they can say to make me feel better about it! Just wondering if anyone heard of anything like this!
At the 7 minute mark on this video there is a comment about a "Volume Knob". How do I set up my TX16S so that S1 is a "Volume Knob"? I seem to recall that S2 can be set up as a "Screen Brightness" knob. It would be great to learn how this can be done!
What's the problem? It should work in FrSky D16 or FrSkyX D16 depending on your firmware in the Rx. FRSKYX - 15 Models: FrSky v1.xxx receivers X4R, X6R and X8R. Protocol also known as D16 v1 FCC/LBT. FRSKYX2 - 64 Same as FrskyX but for D16 v2.1.0 FCC/LBT.
Hello, thanks for the detailed review. Do you thing dji controller (V1) is safer in term of flyaway as connection not pids. For example, if the throttle not 0% does the quad start? As a general question, is Crossfire safe as dji fpv RC? Thanks man
Thanks for your excellent video. I have a problem in that failsafe mode is missing from the set up screen on my Radiomaster tx16s. I would be most grateful for your advice. Best Regards Bob
@@RCVideoReviews Thanks for your quick reply. I have only used assan & radiomasterR86C receivers. The R86C is being used with aZOHD controller. I wiil be using Hitec optima receivers in the future. Best regards Bob
Hi i just got this radio, and when callibrating and sliding the right slider all the way to the top on screen i only see it going a bit above half of the center, the left slider reaches the top. Do u know a fix and if its software or hardware? When sliding it smoothly goes from the bottom till lets say 54% without a dead zone so i think its a bug or setting, anyone got a clue? Tnx
Just left Spectrum for a TX16s Max and your videos have been very helpful. Is it possible to have the radio call out the model altitude value periodically during flight (this is not plane, not quad). Thanks!!
If you can get the telemetry data into the radio, you can generally have the radio call it out. You'll need a sensor capable of giving you altitude via telemetry though.
@@RCVideoReviews my receiver (AR637T) has it built in. I have a widget on one of the pages showing altitude. Just not sure how to get the Tx16s to do the call out.

I was told I may need 100 hours of SIM time before I should go buy a real drone. True or Not? Don't know. But I just can't seemed to get started. I feel like we all are missing something very simple and just have not figured out what yet.... Please help or send me to someone who can? And I am willing to pay for consultation.....up to a point... LOL
Thank you for the comprehensive manual
You're welcome.
Thanks for a nice clear walkthrough 👍
No problem 👍

Have fun with your TX16s, it's a really good radio.
Great tutorials, thank you. subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Such a good controller
Agreed.
BLOOPERS!!!! The world loves bloopers... HAHAHA!! Thanks for sharing, great teaching video, Thanks a ton!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have followed and subscribed to the channel, to learn how to use the Radiomaster TX16S and it is effectively the most
enlightening that I found.
Congratulations to the channel and keep it up.
I bought a radio like this, although I haven't received it yet (Black friday), but one question I wanted to clarify is the following:
On Radio Setup the Default channel order that is in AETR, if you change to any other such as TAER, everything will be fine
or there will be a problem, as it says in the manual : "Because the channel input order of the built-in multi-protocol transmitting
module of the RadioMaster TX16S remote control is AETR, in the Default channel
order option, be sure to select the AETR order '"
Therefore, I don't see the interest in having more options besides the ATER option if there may be any problems in the future
Thank you and my best regards from Portugal.
Glad to have you. Thanks for joining.
Definitely love the stuffups at the end, very funny.
It's comical sometimes how the mind knows what to say but the mouth disagrees. Glad you enjoy them.
Brilliant ! Glad I found your channel - Subscribed 🇨🇦👍
I'm glad you found it too! Welcome to the channel.
Love you bro you are still making vids, one day you will become a successful youtuber
Thanks again; why I messed my controller up shorted the main board when charging some how and ordered and replaced it. Then I went to set everything up and the sdcard was corrupted. Ok now all is good so I just started swallowed my pride and started over again including backing up all my data on this TX16s. Always leaning something. Thanks again.
Glad to help. Hopefully your issues are in the rearview mirror now.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial it really helps. Clear an concise explanations I look forward to watching the videos in the series.

Thank you so much for this video. Great help and well done.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I just brought the radiomaster tx16s I have a cinewhoop coming in tomorrow trying to learn how to set it up for the first time with the radiomaster t16 s
You should check into our discord: discord.gg/jSFTASU Plenty of people there who can help if you need it.
Thank you
thank you so much for demonstrating and explaining. At least I'm able to configure my Jumper T18 which is very similar.
You're welcome. All of the OpenTx videos I have using the TX16s as the demo unit will also apply to the Jumper T18. From a software standpoint, these two radios are identical.
Thanks learned a few things myself. Good job👍👍👊👊
Glad to hear it! Thanks for commenting and watching.
OK, very helpful, Super, Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great tutorial, very helpful, Thanks!
You're welcome!
And again i loved it .bit outdated now but still kinda works great .now i feel like i have a new radio again .Thank you! oh i know you dont do drones .you might but i never seen you with one. any chance you could do a full setup for a fpv drone or a friend to do one or send me to a url/youtrube site so i can watch, as im always messin things up im ok building just the radio in depth . as i have short term memory and rely on these videos a lot ,if not its ok i will work it out somehow :) thanx i have the tx16s with happymodel ES24TX pro adapter on the back :) and hdzero goggles with analog and um walksnail adapter so im kinda good with anytrhing not DJI.. i realy appreceate your work and anyones that helps you as i would not be doing this without you and a few others (your definatly my radio Man) finally got rid of then scripts i never used woohoo
it's 2am, I think it's time I stop watching tutorials on how to use OpenTX 😂
I've been using these radios for about 7 years now and I still learn new things on a regular basis. Enjoy the journey.
Hi! Very good Information on the radio. This is Robert Wioch. I will give you always a Thumps up. you are the best out there. AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++ :))
Wow, thanks
Nice work mate. Watched the lot! Great help. 👊🍻👍🌟🏅
Well...now you know all [almost] my secrets.
Glad they helped.

Thanks! I got mine today and this is just helpful
Very glad to help.
Very good video!
Thank you very much!
Nice video, thank you for the training!
Any time!
More super-helpful content from RC Video Reviews!
Glad you think so!
Dude , you're good at teaching! Thank you so much!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Strange that GregE and TxFlyer both reported, in their posts below, the same issue as I experienced with SB when carrying out the Switch Test . A reboot cured the problem.
The touch screen? Hmmm ive had to use mine on the nirvana and what a pain in the arse! Thank god we will have the choice off touch and buttons with radio master, the nirvana really needed that.
The Edge team is aware of the NV14 issues and they're working on making it better, but I did agree. I tried touch on the NV14 and it was a challenge.
Great tutorial, love your calmness and voice. Radiomaster ordered and you got a new subscriber.
Welcome to the channel Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your new radio.
Thanks!
You're welcome and thank you for hitting the tip jar! Appreciate it.
Need help on flysky i10 -fsi10 radio control, can you help me how to setup my frist time
You're right, subscribed :D
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the clear Tutorial. Is it possible to give another tutorial on how to setup two Radiomater TX16s to bin with one Receiver? Thank you again
I discuss it in this video briefly: ruclips.net/video/QaEbn9R6QGc/видео.html
As far as I know, there is only one way to do it:
1) Get the source code for the multi protocol module.
2) Edit the source code and key in your own global unique identifier.
3) Compile that source code and flash both radios with it.
Is there a button to do safe select on the bnf planes?
Excellent tutorial. SUBBED.
Welcome!
Nice job! I'm a 107 certified Drone pilot and just received my new Eachine's version of the TX16S. Wow, it's very confusing to me coming from a Jumper T8SG. The problem I'm having is transferring the models from the old Jumper T8SG as it's not indicated on the open TX companion 2.3....
I'm not familiar with that radio. Does it use OpenTx? Have you tried just flashing EdgeTX? Make sure you back up your data first.
Great video! Very informative.
Thank you!
That play delay feature is a basic SW debounce on an input. It's very common to implement on any input of a processor, especially mechanical switches as these litterally bounce a couple of times upon switching. To us humans it's indetectible, but these electronics pick them up very easily, as they can scan them a couple of hundred thousand times a second, or even millions of times a second.
So nice walkthrough, but I am brand new to flying… have had old school rc cars of every type! How did you get crossfire configure on there? Ordered the Cinnabot 3.0 with crossfire and have the radio master crossfire module in route… trying to get things dialed in so I can be ready to fly, but I’m unsure where to start
FREAKIN EXCELLENT !
Thank you.
I have a sail plane with spoilers. I am able to operate the spoilers by a 3-position switch. My rudder and elevators are operated
on my right hand stick. I'd like to operate the spoilers for yaw control on my left hand stick. My RX is set up with rudder in ch 1,
Elev. in ch 2, ESC in ch 3, left spoiler in ch 5, and right spoiler in ch 6. Thank you
You can use inputs to map any physical control you have to a label. From there, the label can be attached to any channel in the mixer. You should check out some of the videos I've done on Inputs and Mixes.
This old brain is trying to get my quad "Inductrux" into the 16s without any luck. I found a printout of the quad Horizon Hobby BLH8516 FPV pro manual. Every time a set it up something does not work. Each time is something else.... How do you see it being done? Thanks for any help. Continued success.I have it bound, armed, 1 flight mode. It still way far from where it should when properly setup in the radio. It flys, some control, no hover or change in flight modes. Looking forward to hearing from you and your instruction.
Oh man you did a great job or made best detail video .
I bought this radio , and a lot from this video.
Need you guide line .
In my radio , edge tx version installed ,
Pls tell me edge tx version is good or open tx version is good ??
Hope u give better way .
Thanks for watching. I've switched all of my radios to EdgeTX. Here is a playlist of EdgeTX videos: ruclips.net/p/PLy3TC1ILJYTi_r8rRrgLmpJ17WGEZ4lYo
@@RCVideoReviews thanks for guide line .
How to set Delta wing setting in this radio ?
How to find all store model list ?
Pls inform
Also which latest version of edge tx you are using ?
And what sort of trouble shooting I can face ,? Mean some basic problems
Great explanation. I am a subscriber! I am a Newby to Rc model flying (and building) in New Zealand. I have bought a Microaces DH.2 model in the building phase. I have the Radiomaster TX16s and had the Spectrum micro-receiver package supplied. When I try to bind, the seperate servos work, but nothing I do will got the motor to work. Another identical micro-receiver gives the same result. I know the motor works, because I have attached it to another Spectrum micro-receiver (a larger version with servos integrated). I have contacted Microaces models for help. Other than sending me a new receiver, they were unable to provide an explanation. They have no experience with the Radiomaster TX16s. I'm unable to complete the model until I get this problem solved. I do have Spectrum based models already bound to this transmitter. The Champ, UMX Turbo Timber are two examples.
I would be grateful to you or any viewer that has encountered this issue and solved it, or just knows from experience, what I'm doing wrong. As a Newby, any explanation of corrective action, would necessarily need to be step by step basic. Hope you can help. I'm very keen to get my little indoor model flying.
Ok, if you have two different receivers that are bound and you know they're bound because the servos operate but neither of them operate the motor, your problem must like in your model setup somewhere. I would suggest learning to use your channel monitor. From the model screen press the MODEL button, then press it again. From there, operate your throttle. You should see both MIX and OUTPUT lines move. If they both move then you need to make sure your ESC is connected to the channel that is moving. It's highly unlikely you have a problem with the radio or the receiver.
@@RCVideoReviews So sorry about the very late reply. For some reason my email replies have been sent to an old email gmail address. I couldn't work out how I was emailing people using my standard email address and not getting replies. I had a second address as one of my 'security settings,' fail-safe, whatever and recently I have found replies to mail sent from my main address seem to be routed to my 'other' email address. Go figure! Thanks for the reply. The issue was fixed by another Club member.
Finally got subscribed, sorry it took so long. I think I have viewed most of your videos and they have helped tremendously. I am trying to get my neighbors radio to show the throttle icon on the input page but it will not do it, it only shows 3 dashes in place of the icon. Cant figure it out, tried to find that in you videos but no go. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work.
What happens if you create a new model and exit out of the wizard? Do you still see an issue?
I have created 3 models I believe and it is always like that. Not sure what he did when he got the radio to cause this. I even updated the firmware and SD card but no luck. I have sent a question to Radiomaster to see what they say but not sure how responsive they are. I do appreciate your quick response, Thanks
Its all about the firmware. If you can afford Spektrum , then you should buy Spektrum, if not buy the Radiomaster. If you want the multi - modulation thing then go for Radiomaster as well. If a single well executed RF modulation is what you want then Spektrum is hard to beat.
That's ridiculous. I can afford Spektrum and if you GAVE me one I would put it in a blender and stick with my Radiomaster. EdgeTX on this hardware is an easy call over Spektrum.
After I bind a receiver, the radio does not chirp. Do you know how to fix this?
"I'll Never Fly Gas..." LOLZ
yes very clear thanks.is there a video to set up aux switches in betaflight?
How about set up on a 3 channel fixed wing. To ensure we get rudder on right stick in mode 2 using wizard.
Simply assign the aileron input to the rudder servo channel in the mixer. Done.
Can someone help me
I have a extra 300 bnf with spectrum ar631
When I bind to safe mode the asx3 and safe works when I bind without safe mode the as3x does not function even after I move throttle 25%
Also I am having problem with throttle I recreated the same model not working
When throttle stick all way down position the throttle is at full blast and when I move stick all way up no change
I tried the inverted that did not do anything
Not sure what causing this
Thanks
what is enalbe max throw under internal rf mean? if i switch it on, throttle runs even though kill switch enabled? also is the RF protocol x2f? how do you exit range test?
Nice video, newbie old timer to rc, i find it overwhelming when it comes to open TX but hopefully it will sink in the brain bucket!! After watching you're other video's came across this one, I am a RTF guy but i want to learn on open TX and get a radio master radio so i can start getting better rc planes, not many choices for RTF planes! Do you have a video showing how to program and bind a plane from start to finish? Thank you very much, Semper Fi!
The Radiomaster TX16s comes with a multi-protocol module which lets you bind with all kinds of different receivers. I do not have a video showing how to bind with every receiver out there, but I have done a number of videos showing how to bind with some compatible receivers.

@@RCVideoReviews Awesome, thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Semper Fi
Thanks for help 👍👌🙏
Happy to help. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for your great content! I am revisiting RC after many years as technology seems to have reached another level! One thing I wonder about is: Why to people tear out their batteries from the plane and check the voltage from their smart planes when this info is already available in the telemetry?
Not all planes have flight pack telemetry--most don't. Don't confuse flight pack voltage with voltage fed to the Rx which is usually available via A2 or A1. That is a reduced value--usually 5v from the BEC, but it is not an indicator of flight pack voltage.
@@RCVideoReviews Aha, well I just managed to get the smart telemetry from my Horizon Timber plane (by using DSMX instead of the DSM protocol) into my EdgeTX radio and see the individual cell voltages are there.
Perfect. You can do a lot when you know flight pack voltage. You should check this out: ruclips.net/video/Q5s7zB0NDCQ/видео.html
I uses this whenever my setup gives me flight pack voltage.
I have followed you OK up until calibration, my left stick can only be centred when the sticks at its lowest point ie 6 o'clock when I push the stick to centre it shows 12 on the screen the only movement on the stick is from 9 to 3 & above. I have no lower movement below 9 to 3
Center it physically. Don’t worry about the image until after the calibration. If it doesn’t show centered after the calibration do it again.
Hello, thanks the video i setup my radio as i watched the video. I am new to edgetx and just got a new RMTx16x Mkii with 2.7.1. I need to update the firmware so I will have options for R9M but i'm not sure where/how to do that. I opened Edgetx 2.7companion and setup my radio profiles and then in settings i 'checked' flexr9m and lua. then went to file>download but the download was greyed out (not active). Could you point me in the correct direction?
Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome.
I have just bought this tx and I love it although it will take me time to learn all these terms.
It is assumed that I know what Haptic, ttl , rssi and so on means!
I feel quite stupid as I just dont know.
I got 80% of what you said and it was a very informative video and a biv thanks.
Question...is there a website or link you can give me that explains all these terms please?
Horrible experience with my TX16s, between flights I the transmitter seem a little different but just switched it off. Hour or so later I turned it on and it on and the screen flickered. It was not on the model i was flying and giving high throttle alarm! long story short. It had reset and SWITCHED FROM THROTTLE ON THE LEFT TO THROTTLE ON THE RIGHT! All Special functions are gone I had S1 for volume and S2 for screen brightness both deleted and when I try to reprogram them S1and S2 are not avaliable on the system! I been in the hobby since 1968 still have my first transmitter and everyone since,I sold my Kraft Signature Series a few years ago ! This is the only transmitter I like as much as the Kraft Signature! But I think Im going to throw it in the trash! I have never had a failure with any till now and cant tell you how bad I felt when it sunk in what had happen! I left a note to the support folks! but not much they can say to make me feel better about it! Just wondering if anyone heard of anything like this!
At the 7 minute mark on this video there is a comment about a "Volume Knob". How do I set up my TX16S so that S1 is a "Volume Knob"? I seem to recall that S2 can be set up as a "Screen Brightness" knob. It would be great to learn how this can be done!
Found it in the "OPENTX SNIPPETS". What a treasure trove this collection of videos is proving to be.
Make yourself at home. There's a lot of OpenTx material here.
Hi, great videos !, can you please help/refer me how to bind the tx16s to frsky rx8r pro reciver ?
What's the problem? It should work in FrSky D16 or FrSkyX D16 depending on your firmware in the Rx.
FRSKYX - 15
Models: FrSky v1.xxx receivers X4R, X6R and X8R. Protocol also known as D16 v1 FCC/LBT.
FRSKYX2 - 64
Same as FrskyX but for D16 v2.1.0 FCC/LBT.
Hello, thanks for the detailed review.
Do you thing dji controller (V1) is safer in term of flyaway as connection not pids.
For example, if the throttle not 0% does the quad start?
As a general question, is Crossfire safe as dji fpv RC? Thanks man
What battery are you using ? What should i take for the battery range if i use 2 battery 3,7v ?
Thanks
Thanks for your excellent video. I have a problem in that failsafe mode is missing from the set up screen on my Radiomaster tx16s. I would be most grateful for your advice. Best Regards Bob
What receiver are you using?
@@RCVideoReviews Thanks for your quick reply. I have only used assan & radiomasterR86C receivers. The R86C is being used with aZOHD controller. I wiil be using Hitec optima receivers in the future. Best regards Bob
Hi i just got this radio, and when callibrating and sliding the right slider all the way to the top on screen i only see it going a bit above half of the center, the left slider reaches the top. Do u know a fix and if its software or hardware? When sliding it smoothly goes from the bottom till lets say 54% without a dead zone so i think its a bug or setting, anyone got a clue? Tnx
Just left Spectrum for a TX16s Max and your videos have been very helpful. Is it possible to have the radio call out the model altitude value periodically during flight (this is not plane, not quad). Thanks!!
If you can get the telemetry data into the radio, you can generally have the radio call it out. You'll need a sensor capable of giving you altitude via telemetry though.
@@RCVideoReviews my receiver (AR637T) has it built in. I have a widget on one of the pages showing altitude. Just not sure how to get the Tx16s to do the call out.
Why does this system not assign a sequential reciever numbers to models as you bind them to the transmitter.
Because the other 50% of people will want to assign their own receiver numbers. You probably should check with the developers on this one too.
I wish you had the newest model 2024, to do this with. Im lost. im about to send this radio back. its too complicated for me.
I do have the newest model. Check my channel for EdgeTX videos. Lots of material on the latest firmware and latest hardware.
