Andrew I wanted to thank you for this channel and it's content. You really come across as a genuine enthusiast and it shows in your videos. You never ask for or mention $ and there are no ads, ego, drama, or BS. Keep up the great work !
Chris, I agree too. A great builder, flyer and teacher.
Thanks so much for noticing Chris, that means a lot to me.
Well stated Chris.
I have to agree that Andrew’s videos are a great asset to the RC community.
Very clear teaching Andrew. I hope FrSky, Jumper, Flysky, Detrum, and RadioMaster appreciates you like we do!
Thanks, yes I do get some good feedback from them
Nice tutorial on the Model Setup. One thing I like about powerful software is there are several ways to do things. See you in the Air!
As always wonderful video. Regards from canada
Brilliant video ! Thanks for explaining some of the Open TX basics to us fixed-wing pilots 😉
No problem 👍
Thanks Andrew! To add, models can be saved on the computer for safe keeping, and/or loading older models that may no longer be on the radio. When I make running changes to any of my models I always create a new file to be kept on the computer with a file name relating to a change in model settings.
Good point!
Andrew, amazing videos¡¡¡ By the way, being a flyer who comes from Futaba into Open Tx and Radio Master TX16S, what would be your brand and model recommendation to buy new receivers and flight controllers (best cost-benefit), to be used in planes and helis? Regards
Loved the multiple overwritten corrections, Andrew! Too early in the morning? Or like me getting to the stage where, 2 minutes after walking out the surgery door, you can't remember when the girl said your next appointment was to save your life?! :D
Brain not connect to mouth
great tks
Thank you, new to the open TX / multi world, new learning curve for sure for me! Subscribed to you're channel , going to check out you're other video's. Just one ? , are you setting this in Mode 1 or mode 2 or it doesn't make a difference?
Mode 2 for me but it doesn't matter because you can assign any input to do anything.
@@AndrewNewton Thank you!
Hi Andrew. Have been watching this tutorial a few times. I like the 1st way best. The one thing that I feel is the most important and what I like to do first in setting up a radio or model is the throttle safety switch much like you had in the FlySky i6 video. Is there any chance that you could explain this procedure? I had to swap from mode 2 to mode 1 in the tx and found it not hard at all. Just adjusting about 4 or 5 screws.
Of course I have, is it not showing in your search?
thank u best review do u advice me to buy this one or something else
Depends on your needs and skills ruclips.net/video/G9Z7AcLNRgo/видео.html
First!! Mr Newton you are awesome!!!
Hi Andrew,
I am a fan of your RUclips channel. Already seen several videos about the rc transmitter Radiomaster TX16s.
But now I have a question about the binding of a small drone of which I do not know the 2.4 protocol. How can I find out or how can the bond be established?
Kind regards, Casper van Beek
Google search for "your quad name" and protocol. Or check the list www.multi-module.org/basics/supported-protocols.
That was interesting to see the raw stick method...I'll have to play with that now..lol
How are you liking the Radio Master now you have lived with it for a while, say compared to the trusty X9D?
It's growing on me, could easily swap to the TX16S if someone stole my Q X7 and X9D+
@@AndrewNewton Yes, for the money it looks great value...The colour screen is very nice, however it's not something I tend to use once I'm out flying TBH..I'd like the roller wheel though, button pressing on the Taranis can be a bit tiresome at times.
Hi Andrew, Love the little wing you showed in you most recent video "Shaka fun" awesome. Question Mac book and companion, When I eject the 2 drives (SD card) and then wait a bit and then disconnect the TX16S cable I often get an error on the MacBook about ejecting the drive before disconnecting it. I came from PC to Mac and love it but little things like this cause me concerns that I am doing something incorrectly. Also when I get this error I usually can not get the radio to connect the next time I plug it in to the Mac. Any suggestion as I believe you've been on Mac for some time? Thanks in advance. Jeff
I see similar issues occasionally. The radios seem to reconnect even after ejecting. I have started disconnecting as soon as the drives are ejected and before they show up again.
@@AndrewNewton Thanks for the response Andrew. A 3D printer question for you if I may, have you used Octoprint on your MacBook ?
Hi Andrew. I do like and appreciate your videos. I have a new RadioMaster that I purchased to run FlySky iA6B r/x but that protocol does not appear in list of protocol's in t/x. This protocol is listed as being available in all literature that I have read. How can I get get up. Only FlySky standard appears. Any ideas please.
Should be no 28 Flysky AFHDS 2A www.multi-module.org/basics/supported-protocols
Great vid mate, My MDL button doesn't take me to model set up for some reason it takes me to "main view menu" have you ever heard of this ? thanks
No, mine goes to Model setup
I just got a LX F-22 Raptor EDF 2x70 MM I wonder if I can use the Radiomaster TX16S carbon red on this F-22 but I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ which receiver to Buy , on the box it’s written 12 channels
Don't know any 12 channel receivers. You would need a flight control board to access all 12.
When creating a new model, is there an option for setting up a helicopter as I see at 0:34 just two choices, Glider or plane?
Yes in the standard OpenTX firmware, but I am using the "No Heli" firmware version.
Hello thank you for this tutorial,,, BUT I Have a question I have a Wl toys drone V383 do you think this Radio can bind with this Drone??
It is likely but can't confirm
Okay okay thank you appreciate it 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video....how do you delete models you no longer have please !?
In the model list, scroll to the model you want to delete, hold down the scroll wheel, choose delete.
I fly only wings with 2 alerions but I'm thinking about giving the zoid gt rebel a try, I'm confused on the vtail is this considered a rudder? My radiomaster tx16s is setup AET due to no rudder. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for all your videos
V-Tail is a mix of elevator and rudder, but the rudder is not very effective. Just ignore rudder if you want. Otherwise the mix is there same as your wing elevon mix but replace aileron with rudder. Look ay my V-Tail mix video
Thanks alot
Just set up the plane like he shows and when it asks you the "tail config" you scrol to "V TAIL" and it does it for you!
Your done, happy flying to you and your v tail
Old thread but, if I copy or duplicate model, change name and pic, can I bind to another model if it uses same protocol, just change reciever number. And all of my expo and rates will be on new model?
Yes expo and rates will copy to the new model. But not all receiver types use ID numbers.
Hi Andrew, I am a bit confused with which DSM to set up for my planes. They all have Spektrum 636 receivers in the planes except my new F16 which has a 637. I’m hoping you can give me a little direction as I am just switching to a TX16S version 2.3.11. Jim
Sorry Jim, I know nothing about DSM or Spek
Thanks Andrew, definitely got a lot out of your video. Great job! Hopefully someone will do a video walks through Spektrum receivers. Or maybe I should switch to a different type?
Radiomaster or FrSKY ACCST receivers are what I recommend
Thank you again. I will look into these.
Pls guide which open tx version is new one and how to install and remove edge version in my radio ?
How to load plane images in SD card
Latest OpenTX is V2.3.15. There are hundreds of videos on installing or just follow the instructions on the OpenTX page.
Hello Andrew - thank you for this information. Can you please advise how to change the model photo? I have downloaded my own jpg photo into the Images folder and it shows on the SD tab on the Transmitter under the System button - but is not visible when trying to change the photo on any specific model ? Is this something you have seen? This could be helpful for quite a few people! Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Problem solved! Appears you need to keep the file name to max of 6 - 10 characters (depending on who you ask!) and a resolution of 192 x 108 (or perhaps 640 x 480 again depending on who you ask - it may be that shape is more important than size?) This topic does not appear to get much coverage - perhaps you have done so Andrew and I have missed? If so can you place a link to your video? Once again - many thanks for all your helpful and informative videos.
Painless360 covered this in a video just a few days ago
@@AndrewNewton Thanks Andrew but I must have blinked - can't see anything relevant?
Sorry, his video is 12 month old. It popped up on my feed 3 days ago
Personally I use Image Magic (open source, multi platform, free, command line image manipulation tool) to change the photo to the 192x114 sized PNG using the following command: convert input-file.JPG -resize 192x114 Ranger.png (use your own file names). You then copy this file from your PC to the Images folder on your SD card in your radio. Then after you disconnect the radio from the computer and bring up the model you browse to this new image and select it. I know I am just hitting the highlights here but it seems you have some other resources. Image Magic was the key for me in that it allows a very easy conversion to the required format and that was the key for me to get images to work correctly.
At airfield sunny day screen is " blind" I mean absolutely no readable , even hard to check timer. Is any recommendation to setup right screen colour or fonts?
Change the background to light grey
@@AndrewNewton Thank you !!
Hi Andrew, not really relevant to this topic but i recently upgraded my Ranger 1600's motor to a Sunnysky 1250kv instead of the stock 1400kv, (keeping the same 8x4 prop) i have noticed that the new motor appears to have much less thrust, it also only draws a max of 13 amps on 3s instead of the previous 18 amps. I have calibrated my esc but it still seems like i am lacking power. Is this normal or do i have an issue with my esc, which is also upgraded to a Turnigy 40A plush. Throttle also only starts at just over a quarter of full throttle.
If anyone else has answers please let me know
Thanks.
Yes it will be underpowered on 3S. You now have a perfect 4S power setup, same as mine. Either use 4S or change to an 8x6 prop. Probably need to re-calibrate the ESC after resetting to defaults. Might have something like a Soft Start activated.
Andrew Newton do you think that I could get away with flying it on 3s for the time being?
Yes, no problem.
I can't believe I had to pull up a video on how to setup a New Model... when pressing the Model button or holding down the roller wheel... brought up nothing with Create Model as an option.... WTF... holding the roller wheel button brings up:
Model Select
Monitors
Reset
Statistics
About
There was no create new model wizard. I finally said to h3ll with trying to figure this out, and connected OpenTX companion to create a new model. Thank goodness I didn't have to try to do this out in the field in the bright sunlight, and was just at home trying to create a new dummy model for Liftoff so I wouldn't have to listen to all my autostart timers and alarms.
So if you're having problems finding a Create Model option, use OpenTX.
Somehow I finally figured out to get to the Create model screen by accident. Here's how you do it.
Hold the Scroll wheel in. That will bring up a menu, and then chose "Model Select".
Next... hold the scroll wheel in again while on the Model Select page, and that will bring up yet another buried dialog, with "create Model" at the top.
Then do like Q*bert does, and go !@#$%^
This version of OpenTX is a bit of a mess. That's why I like the monochrome small screen version better
Very nice video. One question: my TX16s does not "chirp" anymore while binding a new receiver. Ideas as to what setting/cause it might be? Thanks a lot
I'll have to check mine, did it ever chirp?
@@AndrewNewton wouldn't bring them to court on just my memory ;) but yes I think it did chirp. Someone hinted that is responsibility of the MULTI module and investigate there ... Thank you.
That's exactly what he does in the video...
I thought it was important I pass this information on about Opentx “input” screen verses “Mixes” screen when setting up dual / triple rates. Try the following model setup: it proves there is a problem with the “Mixes” screen.
I setup a new Basic model in companion 2.3.7 and setup triple rates for the Elevator in the “Inputs” screen using switch SA and triple rates for the Ailerons in the “Mixes” screen using switch SB, Then in the simulator I moved the respective elevator and aileron trims to maximum, now when I operate the rate switches something strange happens the Aileron channel itself changes value but the Elevator channel dose not this is even worse if you use extended trims. This could potentially cause a model to crash, give it go and let me know if I’ve buggered up the programming or its right.
Forget rate switches, it's a hard, complicated way to do everything TBH. Plus you have to know which of the three rates you are in!!
It's why Exponential was invented...use it!!!
I'll check it out but you have bigger problems if you're trimming right to the end, not a real situation
Just tried it on the radio and I got normal behaviour on ail and ele. Might depend on how you have the trims setup
@@AndrewNewton Your quite right that's why its just an example in companion not how I set up my models:)
@@AndrewNewton Just tried it on my Taranis with an X4R rx and couple of servos and the Aileron servo did move when I switch rates, so further investigation required may even have a go at doing a video will not be up to your excellent standard ill be using my Iphone but might be fun.
The TX16s has picture taking capabilities? 😳
No
who need this for wings? everyone using this radio for FPV Quads 😋
Overkill for quads
AND You called Me a Nerd!!??
Nerd on duude
Useful videl, but What a mess, I recently got one of these opentx radios, they are the absolute opposite to an user friendly product, you end up spending a lot of time for the most basic tasks… I end up using my flysky most of the time, plug and play thats it
OpenTX doesn't suit everyone. But I cant use anything else.
When OpenTX came out I switched from the big F, learned OpenTX then moved on, I just purchased my first FPV drone after flying DJI drones for work so I needed to get another radio. The new EdgeTX has support for a color touch screen and NO user manual, the Radio I purchased is missing function keys like Page Up. EdgeTX is a needed update to OpenTX after FrSky sabotaged OpenTX, EdgeTX allows you to use the touch screen but they haven't finished it yet and there is no manual, existing Wizards don't work and a lot of the OpenTX guides are obsolete. Getting a drone to connect and fly has been a time consuming task, I did come across a radio that doesn't use OpenTX or EdgeTX and works with the ExpressLRS receivers, $60, turn it on and fly. I under stand your pain, for some reason everyone think a youtube video is the new user manual methodology, I think its a means for people to ramble on and on and on.
