If you want I will email you a already built Heli model from my TX16. It will help your learning curve not be so steep, also it will provide less margin for errors in your initial test flight.

Hi Simon, I just wanted to send you a little thank you note. I have been learning about OT, then getting to understand that EDGE was the way to go.
I have been watching videos for a few months now and finally decided to take the plunge. That was a month ago. I have been struggling until I - somehow - found your video. I had various problems that somehow seem to get intermingled and that made it very difficult to get to the bottom of those issues.
Well, after spending about 1 hour on your setup everything is working and that includes the setup using the Spektrum WS1000 dongle as the interface with my Real Flight software (RF8) and even that worked - OUT OF THE BOX- ie with no changes.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G
I am a fan.
Excellent!!! So glad to have helped!! I struggled with no videos when I first got my radio and now am happy to pass those trials and errors on to others, so you don't have to make the mistakes I did. Cheers!!
I am a spektrum user bought a tx16s been struggling with it this definitely helped thanks
Coming from Spektrum, it took me 11 hours to fully understand this radio and the updates, etc, programming and more, but I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. Radiomaster for life
@@Xplanker Hell ya man.
im getting back to helicopters coming from the old Futaba days. this helped me a ton, i appreciate the solid walkthrough on every little point. Great video!
Awesome. Setting up my first heli and your video is clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Welcome!!
I am thinking about this radio and this really helped me understand. This looks easier than the open tx. Thank you
Your welcome Sir!!
Thanks for posting this, really helpful, I was wondering how to add sounds to the different curves/modes
I just went through this setup and then tested it on my Fusion 360 and it worked great (Needs fine tuning, but it got it up/down). THANK YOU!! A bit more info as to how to get the gyro to work with this profile would be great, as I set it to a 3 position and when toggled it didn't do anything.
The only gyro's I support are "spirit flybarless" and I do have videos on setting them up if search my channel. But im assuming you have the stock spektrum fbl that came with the fusion 360.
@@NomisRC Yes, that is correct. Do you know how to get this to work with Spektrum. I'm not looking for "Support" just a nudge in the right direction as in "Look into X" or "Look into Y". Because, I'm not even sure how to refer to that. But, being able to adjust the gyro like you have shown for a spektrum heli would be great! Thanks.
@diggler1288 You absolutely can adjust spektrum gyro gains the same way, ive done it on airplanes that have spectrum as3x stabilization modes. What is you flight controller? Is it the 6250HX?
I do know that you will need a spma3065 USB programmer cable. Like the one I use in this video. ruclips.net/video/g_l8CSznASo/видео.html
@@NomisRC Yes, SPMFC6250HX flight controller and I have the SPMA3065 USB programmer cable. Just no idea what to do with them.
@@miriamdiggler1288 The best I can offer is my setup on an airplane that i linked above sadly. I do not use or recommend spektrum devices for this specific reason. They do not integrate well with anything other then spektrum. And they built it that was on purpose. Sorry man I even looked for a video of 6250hx and tx16 and couldnt find a single video.
Thanks, great explaination!
Welcome
Thank-you Simon, your work is greatly appreciated. I sent an email requesting the template please.
Email with file attached sent sir. Glad the video helped!!
Thanks! That's a very clear basic setup using the inputs etc, efficiently. For non FBL-systems, the 3 (120degree) and 4 (both + and x) -points swash-setups I still have to figure out the mixes. Makes me think about what's actually going on, nice thing to do. Still learning! Thanks again for the setup.🥸
Glad it helped you Sir.
This was great, will this set up work with Fly bar model as well?
thank you so much ı make settings for my goosky s2 helicopter
Awesome and you are very welcome!
Hi Simon, happy new year, love your vids, I just picked up an M2 and a TX16s that I've swapped it to mode 1, what settings should I look out for when setting it up given that its now mode 1?
Cheers Simon

Hey, I loved your video. Thank you for the tutorial. I'm a little confused why anything needs to be programmed under Inputs>Throttle. When I download custom TX16S radio files from other people or use the stock templates for my OMP M2 EVO, no one ever enters anything under Inputs. I was under the impression Throttle Hold would work without programming it there? I see people program Throttle Cut under Curves.
What's the reason for that? Is it personal preference?
My OpenTX Heli/Drone/Plane programming is all self taught and it probably shows lol, learned Opentx when there was no videos. So I may do things different then others. It's just how it worked in my head and then it worked in the real world as well so I stuck with it. :)
@@NomisRC Hey, thank you for the quick response! I'm using EdgeTX. It's very similar to OpenTX I was told. Thank you for the insight.
@@marksampson7652 This video here is EdgeTX, but for me they both program the same and kinda why I put edgetx or opentx for the title. You may see some visual difference if you have an old opentx radio, but all the menu's and items are label with the same names. I Do also have older OpenTX videos, but you wont need those if your already on Edge and honestly ill never go back to open.
There's is a dozen different ways to do the same thong
Hi Simon, thanks for your videos all are the best and easy for apply for me. You use these configuration for Spirit?
Yes
@@NomisRC i just State with Micro Sporting and blade 230 and later Strategy with tb40. Thanks a lot for your answer
yes i do it!! thanks again
Hello.
Thank you for making this video but unfortunately is doesn't seem to work for me. I am using a QX7/OpenTX. I followed your process and checked everything but all i'm getting is swash movement. The motor refuses to go into whichever mode and seems to be stuck on being disarmed. This is my first heli setup so i cant say that i have the most knowledge in the subject.
My setup is: Taranis QX7, Goosky S1 with an RXSR receiver (set to cppm).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please calibrate your ESC, this is the most often issue for a motor being armed. Look up the exact calibration for you make/model esc.
Hello. I've managed to arm,disarm, and even program idle up 1 and 2. The problem that im facing at the moment is that the helicopter seems to be completely uncalibrated and veers off forward and to the right. The gyro doesn't turn off, thus pulling the heli to that direction (assuming that the gyro is uncalibrated from the factory). Unfortunately, i can't seem to find a way to turn off the gyro from either the FC or the transmitter (I've tried assigning it to CH5 and 7 with no avail. Banggood has not replied and completely ditched the case, leaving me with a heli that doesn't fly. Thank you for trying to help me out. I really appreciate it.
@@Hiko_shi If you aren't not using auto-leveling, and you lift off the ground flat, when you let off the sticks it veers off then its a mechanical setup issue. Level your swash again and adjust your blade tracking again. This should clear it up. I have good videos on how to do both.
Alright. I'll do more research and refer to your videos as well to try and fix the issue. Hope i can figure this out. Thanks again for the help.
If you use throttle hold to reset the timer how do you account for an auto mid flight or auto practices?
The only time I auto is upon landing so this setting works great for me, but my settings def are not for everyone, feel free to modify it however you like.
How do I find your video on binding to TX16s. I have a Goosky S2
Sorry I don't have one specifically for binding to that. I had an OMP m2 but I did not make a video about binding it.
Send me a link to the video you have for any binding and I will review that for mine.
Thanks
Dont know why but my throttle is inverted, and if I invert it in outputs that invert my throttle in flight modes instead. 🥴
Id hook your flight controller usb to your computer and have a look there.
Man. I flashed my T16 with OpenTX to start over on my Blade 180 CFX. Now I can't remember most of the settings. Could you send me a OpenTX for heli? Im thinking of switching to Edge eventually. Just want to get back up running. How do I contact besides comments?
Just shoot me an email, kuskye25@gmail.com, I dont check it often so reply here when you have emailed me. Then I will email you a opentx model otx file.
create new model all that comes up is select a template folder. This then gives me Blank Model and no model templates found in this folder. Did I miss something when I upgraded to Edgetx 2.7.1? So I don't know how to setup for Helicopters on it. Pleas help me
Sorry I did not see this comment till just now. Yes that would mean something went wrong during the upgrade. It should boot up normally after the upgrade.
@@NomisRC Later edgeTX does not have any inbuilt templates or wizard .... what edgeTX people did was to program a basic 4ch model only ... so its a real pain now to set up anything different from a basic 4ch plane.
I need to create a new model for a flybar heli. Is there a wizard on opentx to do that? WITH a flybar
You got this working right? Need to enable the "heli" page and set a CCPM mixing. Usually a 3-servo 120° setup. I don't think there is a wizard for this and it's more a manual procedure on EdgeTX than other radios.
@@beyondfossil Yes. Got it working a year ago.
sadly ... your edgeTX is old version as later 2.8.x does not have any wizard or templates ...... bad decision IMHO on part og edgeTX programmers.
Ahh man that sucks :(
hi...how can i write you to help me? where i foud your email?
