Very nicely done, and very useful. I'm new to this, and many of these settings are still a bit unclear. I just purchased a T8J yesterday, and plan to make the conversion as soon as it arrives. I especially like the way you edited the instructions for fast comprehension (video overlays, speed ups, etc). Most other videos seem to be 'stream of consciousness' and you are always thinking 'get on with it' ... not yours. Thumbs up!
turn on youre radio and have it close (within 30cm) of the RX power up the RX while holding down the very small button that is on it (situated near the antenna cables) the led should turn green when its done. power it off and on to check the bind has worked.
sounds like either:.you have not bound your TX to the RX or if you are running naza version 3.12 the IMU is still warming up (this can take a few mins and is normal)
I watched all your vids on doing this mod, great job! Gave me the confidence to do this myself, so I have a t8j on the way. Have you really tested the fail safe in a real world flying experience using this? Also, if it goes into fail safe, or you flick it into fail safe, will unflinching it if it is flying back to you allow you to regain control? I am too scared to try fail safe on my stock transmitter by cutting it off. Thanks again, you have great videos
I think I have the answer. The one in the video is a helicopter version, changed to the airplane controls. I have the airplane version which has the upper 3 position switch on 'G' and not 'E'. More than likely I can simply change any reference on the transmitter from SWE to SWG and have verified it with the Assist software. I'm setting up for a F-450 but these setting should work for that platform too I believe.
This is a great tutorial, but at the end of part one, you kind of skipped over the bit about "Bind your TX to RX" - is it easy to do? how do you do it? regards HMD
Hi. I know I just emailed you a load of questions on part 3 of this tutorial (great video BTW) but I just saw this video and wanted to ask another: In setting up Switch D as your fail safe did you lose the use of the VR knob, OR does this not apply where the Phantom is concerned. Again I have F450 with a Naza M which, according to the manual can't use channel 8. Many thanks again mate
Hi, you refer to personal preference in settings, but what to do, if you wan the same settings/mixes as the stock radio, are there any recipe for that?
Hi HPI Guy, great vid. I have a Futaba T10J and in a process of building a quardcopter using Hoverfly pro and the GPS. I the set up on the TX on the T10J is simiarl to T8J? if not, could you do a video on Fuaba T10J on a hoverfly pro with hoverfly GPS? thank you
Hi I oiled really appreciate it if you could show me how to install the futaba t8j on the dji f550 with naza v2 also showing how to control the gimbal tilt. Thx and keep doing amazing vids!
Hi,I own a F550 with Zenmuse H3 3D. Can you help me to make the tilt (G switch) in a much slower motion, low very fast and I dont know how to do it smoother in my T8J. Thanks, you do greats vidéos.
Hi. Thanks for this video. I used it to set my Futaba 10J with some slight changes. I have a question. Why did you add the subtrim to AV1 (AUX7 on mine)? Thanks
HI, on part 2 of your phantom to t8j conversion,, you say to go down to position 6 on the pmixx, yet you adjust position 5 and 4. am i correct to say that 6 stays at inh and 5 and 4 pos are changed or have i got it wrong? thx, Ian.
Just bought an 8j however my upper left switch which you say is a 3 position switch is a 2 position called E. My two three position switches are C same as yours but the other is G on the upper right. So this setup won't work for me verbatim?
Hi, I have my F550 set up with my T8J using your excellent videos, thanks. is it possible to add a remote switch on switch A, B or F for remote switching of the lights? www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8833
Your tutorials are priceless.You provide more and accurate information than DJI or most manufacturers , thank you sir!
Thanks Wheels for making this so easy for an rc noob like me!!!!,Flawless works perfect and I have only been at this rc stuff a couple weeks now.

yes, make sure you are in GPS mode, put the throttle to 50% then toggle the HL/CL switch a few times, then you should have control.
thank you, part 3 is 50% uploaded.
turn on youre radio and have it close (within 30cm) of the RX power up the RX while holding down the very small button that is on it (situated near the antenna cables) the led should turn green when its done. power it off and on to check the bind has worked.
Thanks ! You explain the setup very well & make it easy for a new guy like myself. Also did the S Bus cable come with the Phathom?
Thanks a lot, this was doing my head in until I found this!
Thanks. I tried the 3.00 and I thought it was too sharp on takeoff. I've just installed 3.1 and re calibrated and will do a test fly tomorrow.
more range, I can RTH with a flick of a switch, I can do gimbal control etc etc
sounds like either:.you have not bound your TX to the RX or if you are running naza version 3.12 the IMU is still warming up (this can take a few mins and is normal)
Thanks for this. Great video. What do I need to do to have that middle dial control the tilt of the camera through the Zenmuse gimbal?

Cheers for the video! Is there any way I can set one of the switches to go into FPV mode then back to gimbal?
the S-bus cable is already inside the phantom. its covered in part1 of these video's.

Thanks for the video..How far u can go with this mod?
well i have futaba 14SG and my question is :
how to set your trims after you installing the RX?
i assuming wrong trims will case crash !
Hi, you refer to personal preference in settings, but what to do, if you wan the same settings/mixes as the stock radio, are there any recipe for that?
Did you have to install the receiver. I thought the v2 were futaba compatible.
Thanks again Richard
Sorry haven't been on RUclips lately. Let me see what my settings are and I will get back to you.
Great videos! Can i use the same settup for my DJI F550? Got one on its way with the the T8J:) Trygve,Norway
No Problem Don! :)
Hi! your the best:D Thx a million för this:D But i would love to adjust gain on the turning nob do you know how to set that up?
On the rx the is a little switch (sw) turn your radio on and press the sw switch for 2 sec the led will turn green
Hi HPI Guy, great vid. I have a Futaba T10J and in a process of building a quardcopter using Hoverfly pro and the GPS. I the set up on the TX on the T10J is simiarl to T8J? if not, could you do a video on Fuaba T10J on a hoverfly pro with hoverfly GPS? thank you
Hi I oiled really appreciate it if you could show me how to install the futaba t8j on the dji f550 with naza v2 also showing how to control the gimbal tilt.
Thx and keep doing amazing vids!
I must have missed your test video for failsafe, sorry about that. Good vid. But if you click failsafe off, can you still gain control?
do these settings apply to the phantom 2 H3-2D?
I will update mine today and check
Hi m8 where did you get your t8j from many thanks
Hi,I own a F550 with Zenmuse H3 3D. Can you help me to make the tilt (G switch) in a much slower motion, low very fast and I dont know how to do it smoother in my T8J. Thanks, you do greats vidéos.
Now that DJI have updated the firmware for the Phantom, are the settings safe and OK?
hi i hear there is 2 versions of the futaba t8j, which one is it you have? thanks
Hi. Thanks for this video. I used it to set my Futaba 10J with some slight changes. I have a question. Why did you add the subtrim to AV1 (AUX7 on mine)?
Thanks
How do you do this on the 10J? No keeping secrets :)
I've sorted it now. After trying every combination possible. My curves were different though.
What is the main reason one would change the TX and RX to this one
?
Hi! I got a « mode 1 » Futaba T8J radio....is it the same set up?
Please, do you have a 'print' copy of the parameters for the T8J and DJI phantom - it is a bit difficult to see exactly what's happening in the video.
Do you know if I can do this with my Jeti Tx/Rx? Thanks.
Where can you get the RS2008SB in UK and how much does it cost?
HI, on part 2 of your phantom to t8j conversion,, you say to go down to position 6 on the pmixx, yet you adjust position 5 and 4. am i correct to say that 6 stays at inh and 5 and 4 pos are changed or have i got it wrong? thx, Ian.
hey, could u use a futaba 6ex? if you didn't want the xtra channels for a gimble..
it's strange because when i tried the motors for the rotation setup every things works good! anyway, how should i have to bound my tx with rx?
what parameter you introduce in subtrim menu?
How u bind?
Hello ThatHPI GUY is posible to install a Futaba T8J to a walkera 250 Advance
Just bought an 8j however my upper left switch which you say is a 3 position switch is a 2 position called E. My two three position switches are C same as yours but the other is G on the upper right. So this setup won't work for me verbatim?
whats the diffrence between the futaba t8j and the futaba 8j?
yes you can
hi m8 how come you got a t8j over a dx8 ?
I know this is an old video, but did every thing ,and can't get the motors to start.
Phantom 1.
yes
Not sure aboutt the type. Just a t8j mode 2
Thumbs up.
pretty far, Ive done 1.4km so far
ebay mate :)
Still confusing lol
Hi, I have my F550 set up with my T8J using your excellent videos, thanks. is it possible to add a remote switch on switch A, B or F for remote switching of the lights? www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8833
