That's really cool. I really didn't want to change where I had my arm and mode switches but this all makes sense and since I only have one model and a new radio on the way I'm going to go this route....at least to start with. Having never used OpenTX I didn't really get the reciever numbering thing but I will sort it all out. Thanks a lot Darrin, you are a great teacher, slow, methodical and you seem to anticipate the questions that will trip us up. TG
Great 👍 job Darren! I was looking to upgrade my layouts on my Q7. This will work nicely 👌. Appreciate your hard work and thoughtful 🧐 explanation. Marco
Just what I needed, Darren - many thanks! I'm new to FPV (from LOS FW and helis) and as I build my first model (ZOHD Dart XL(E)) with Matek FC and new Radiomaster TX16S I'm on a steep learning curve. Thanks to you and others, I'm soaking-up as much info as possible and for a good while I was trying to work out the best switch layout for me. I was going for the 'Pro' setup but have taken your excellent advice to go 'Standard' at first - I can already picture a very nervous 'Maiden flight' so the less complication the better! I'm a bit concerned about flicking-off the arm switch in flight (could do it in either direction) but with time should get used to it. Again, many thanks for your brilliant tutorials and keep up the good work with Inav Fixed Wing Group! Cheers, Andy Oxford
Thanks Andy, and good luck with the maiden. Honestly, if you’re flying LOS FW, you’ll be fine. FPV is easier than LOS. If you haven’t make sure to enable the brake on the ESC. It’ll save you props or motor mounts on landing 👍🏻
Has anyone reported any problems with auto launch? I'm using a radio master , a maTech F405 wing And the standard model V 2. I have auto launch permanently enabled but for some reason no matter how hard I throw it sometimes doesn't progress to launch throttle . I posted a video on the group And pretty much come to the answer that it was a badd flight controller so I installed a new one and everything was fine for a while but now it's doing the same thing. Anyone else having problems?
Trying to add pan on left slider to the model and the servo (I need pan only) centers but won't move with the slider. Everything seems to be working in the receiver and output tabs. I'm using a tx16s with the inav fixed wing group opentx standard model v2. Running a fullsize crossfire and micro v2 RX. board is matek f405 wing. chanel 9 in the radio and servo 8 on the board. What am I missing?
Channel 9 on the transmitter should be fine. I suggest using it for autolaunch in the guide, so I know there’s nothing on it in the standard model. It the pan is working on the transmitter (you can see the output changing with the slider). You should just need to add a line to the mixer using RC Channel 9, and it will assign that to a servo. After that, it should work. One thing I’d recommend, if you haven’t done it; is to add a switch with the pan. That way you can switch it off and have it centre. It means you can’t accidentally knock the pan position too. Which no doubt would happen at completely the wrong moment.
You’d set the failsafe up the same as usual. Choose the correct failsafe method for your receiver (No Pulses for FrSky or Cut for Crossfire) Then setup failsafe in iNav. If its a fixed wing with GPS, RTH would make the most sense. But make sure that the model is setup correctly and flying correctly in Angle before you use it.
I re-played what you said regarding the CRSF bug but cannot understand what you mean. As I am running CRSF I would like to know what I need to watch out for or do in this case please?
I think you mean the FrSky bug. I didn’t mention a CRSF bug? It relates to failsafes. I have a video on it. But TL;DR if you experience a failsafe, sometimes half of the channels will be low when reporting to the flight controller that failsafe has ended. This was most noticeable when it was your arm switch and you arm in the high position, as the glitch post failsafe would cause a disarm in flight.
Sorry, someone else mentioned it. There is a bug with the telemetry in OpenTX 2.3.10. It doesn’t send the flight modes over correctly. It will be fixed in 2.3.11. I didn’t realise I’d mentioned that in the video. Sorry, just been really busy the last could of weeks getting everything ready and this video and the Lite model video have blurred in to one 😄
@@MrD Thank you Mr D for your reply. As I am a complete newbie to Opentx do you recommend I just roll back to 2.3.9 as I would hate to make a balls up?
@@petebuttons210 it depends on if you plan to use things like the iNav LUA script. If not, then you will be fine. I don’t think 2.3.11 will be much longer, which will fix the bug.
I fixed that by myself - and as always, no one of the INAV group will say that....thats what i hate....im a german flyer, so my TX is set at german - so i have to copy the files in "de", not in "en"...
I’m glad you got it working. I didn’t see a post in the iNav group otherwise I would have helped. You have to remember that due to timezones, some of us are still at work 😉 I will add something in the installation guide to make this clearer.
Nice, but people flight airplanes and quads, they do not have an hour to flight switches, just 4 minutes to flight. The more complicated you do the useless it gets.
Quads tend to have maybe 2 or 3 switches, and fly for about 2-3 minutes. But planes with a flight controller have much more. The more in to planes you get, the more switches and features you end up using. I mean this layout doesn’t even cover specialist things like pan & tilt, flaps, crow, or rates. You also have longer flights with planes. Its rare that I’m only up for 4 minutes. Even my Mini AR Wing can do double that. Fair enough, this switch layout isn’t for everyone. And I openly encourage people to learn OpenTX, and come up with their own layouts. But we’ve had plenty of feedback on our other OpenTX models to know that it is the type of thing that fixed wing pilots want. If it helps people get flying quicker, it’s achieved its goals.

Just what I needed as my new TX16s and crsf module turned up on Saturday. Thankyou
You’re welcome Ed 👍🏻

Thanks Tracy. It will definitely ease the learning curve. OpenTX is well worth learning, bit this will get you flying sooner on your new transmitter.
Great 👍 job Darren! I was looking to upgrade my layouts on my Q7. This will work nicely 👌. Appreciate your hard work and thoughtful 🧐 explanation. Marco
Thank Marco. I hope you enjoy the layout.

Hello Darren. Was looking at this great video and wanted to know if this model template will work with EdgeTx?
To be honest, I don’t know. I would think it should, and EdgeTX is a branch of OpenTX.
What is the Crossfire bug in 2.3.10 exactly you mentioned at the beginning? Is that relating to RXNUM & binding?
There is a bug with the telemetry in 2.3.10. It doesn’t send the flight modes over correctly. It will be fixed in 2.3.11.
Has anyone reported any problems with auto launch? I'm using a radio master , a maTech F405 wing And the standard model V 2. I have auto launch permanently enabled but for some reason no matter how hard I throw it sometimes doesn't progress to launch throttle .

Anyone else having problems?
Is there a INAV Fixed Wing Group EDGE TX v2.7 Model?
The OpenTX model should work. I have imported them in to EdgeTX companion with no problems.
Trying to add pan on left slider to the model and the servo (I need pan only) centers but won't move with
the slider. Everything seems to be working in the receiver and output
tabs. I'm using a tx16s with the inav fixed wing group opentx standard model v2.
Running a fullsize crossfire and micro v2 RX. board is matek f405 wing. chanel 9 in the radio and servo 8 on the board. What am I missing?
Did you add the mix line in the iNav mixer for the pan?
@@MrD yes, should it be set to an rc chanel or passthrough?
something to do with the standard model v2?
Channel 9 on the transmitter should be fine. I suggest using it for autolaunch in the guide, so I know there’s nothing on it in the standard model.
It the pan is working on the transmitter (you can see the output changing with the slider). You should just need to add a line to the mixer using RC Channel 9, and it will assign that to a servo. After that, it should work.

Noob here. How do I set up Failsafe with this set up and with a F765? Thanks in advance.
You’d set the failsafe up the same as usual.

Then setup failsafe in iNav. If its a fixed wing with GPS, RTH would make the most sense. But make sure that the model is setup correctly and flying correctly in Angle before you use it.

Whatever i do - my TX16S will not play any sound, if i use that model. Did that, like in this video....whats the problem?

Agree.

No problem Pete. This was the main idea behind the model. To help people get flying quicker.
