been trying for two months to get the vortex pro. Got my blade variant a week ago. binded to my dx6. Borrowed a mates quantum goggles/screen.Wizard is literally childs play. Four line of sight flights in. Loving this little quad. Bit pricey but honestly that easy to setup
Discover RC do you have a video showing how to install the PPM cable for the spektrum receiver on the 250 vortex ? I am using a DX7 Spektrum transmitter. If you don't have a video do you know of any that demonstrates the procedure? Thank you!
Are the 2 peeps still up to date? I tried to iniiate a new setup wizard and there were many peeks and after many trial & error I somehow initiate this, but I believe that I changed bands several times.
Want to note that the wizard steps have changed since this video. It threw me off because I tried to run the wizard blind without the OSD (have removed analog VTX and installed digital HD VTX) and the steps in this video simply wouldn't work. Wouldn't get past first two beeps. Used to be the following all neutral - roll left - neutral - yaw left - neutral - throttle min - neutral - pitch down - neutral - left stick at bottom left - neutral - right stick down (to calibrate level) (Note: down = stick down, up = stick up) Now they've added steps to record other end of range, so total sequence is. all neutral - roll left - roll right - neutral - yaw left - yaw right - neutral - throttle min - throttle max - neutral - pitch down - pitch up - neutral - left stick in bottom left - neutral - right stick down (to calibrate level)
I dont have a monitor fpv or the goggles yet, still wainting on it from ebay, so im also configuring it blind but the lights stay red after the star wars beep, it wont throttle, I go to cleanflight and motors work fine and the controller throttle also works fine. Dont know what else to do know.
It was charged completely. I talked to Horizon Hobby and they told me I had to use a satellite receiver to get it to bind again. Just a FYI for others in the same boat.
+59poppN Taranis is popular for the range and signal strength when flying in trees and through objects-it's a great way to go. I haven't tested this spektrum rx in those kinds of conditions.
Hey, I hate to look like a noob. but I bought a vortex pro came with a Spektrum 2048 racing reciver. also bought a Spektrum DX6I to fly with. But I can't seem to bind it the two. according to the screen its saying no RX . Yet when I turn off the controller the led on the receiver goes out. Turn the controller back on and the led comes back on.. but yet still no RX displayed in my screen. Any ideas?
I think the Blade Version (green) comes with a receiver. this model is made by immersion and sold to Horizon for resale. The Immersion Vortex (red) does not come with a receiver.
Sadly the DX6i even tho it says dsmx and dsm2 on it wont bind to the Dsmx receiver. I took the radio and drone into the hobby shop and they tryed.. thinking maybe it was a faulty receiver but then we tryed an off the shelf dx6 and it binded up no problem. The Dx6i is an older model and running an older version of firmware. so unless there is away to update for the new protocols then you might want to consider upgrading your radio.
Hi DiscoverRC. Could you please check in Cleanflight if the Board Alignment - YAW Adjustment is set to 90 degrees and let me know ? On mine it is set to 90 degrees but that sound strange...i was expecting 0 degrees !!! TIA
+IceCreams62 I haven't taken off the top plate to see how the fc board is mounted on the quad. If it is mounted arrow to the right the yaw adjustment should be + 90-that may be what is going on. If straight ahead then yes it would be 0, but first check the board direction. Have you flown it?
+Discover RC Not yet. The arrow on the board points to the front so i expected 0 degrees, but after the OSD setup 90 degrees are 'pushed' on clmeanflight...this is what sounds strange for me!!!! The quad avatar on cleanflight in any case moves right so all seems to be good. This is the reason i'm asking you to check your cleanflight setup. And sorry for my bad English !!!
+IceCreams62 Your English is good :). That does sound a little odd. I will check it in cleanflight. The quad is flying normally though so it seems good.
+cartman4241 yes - you will need to reverse the aileron and rudder channels and adjust the end points. Also to get all the flight modes you need to assign the 5th channel to a 3 position switch. I'll go over that next.
+59poppN it's the spektrum receiver that comes with it - so far it's been solid. www.horizonhobby.com/radios/aircraft-receivers/spektrum-dsmx-quad-race-receiver-with-diversity-p-spm4648

+Matthew Stubbs nice - I agree it's simple and easy which keeps it fun.
Thanks for the video mate, I've been scratching my head till midnight, run this and sorted in 5 minutes. Nice transmitter too!
glad it was helpful!
My quad will not go into wizard setup. Every time I hit the button on the back all it does is change the led color. Any suggestions?
Nice Transmitter dude, it looks sick!
+Skittles Fpv thanks man! :)
i can't get osd to come back, i had it at first but now its gone, also my transmitter shows im connected buy motors won't spin, i did all updates
My vortex 250 bnf will not bind. The orange light does not come on. Can you plz help?
I am in the wizard, but at the part to move left stick back and left ... nothing happens. Any thoughts?

is it possible to set up this quad without the wizard? I don't have goggles or a screen...

+rcfaneallthetime cool - HH support is good
thanks for the info@discover rc... the range pretty good? I'm thinking bout jumping ship to the taranis setup

i hear you bro its all good thanks again

bugger cause i want to buy this quad and have a dx6i

+Discover RC Thanks a lot....i'll wait your check.
Why does it say blade on the side?Does HH own Immersion RC or are they in partnership?
The blade version is sold to Horizon. I think the only difference is that it comes with a receiver and it is green.
Thank you
Hi is everything don on your DX18 or did u have to use a PC
all done on the dx18 through the wizard.
all you need is a battery,reciever and transmitter?
You need a battery, transmitter and goggles. Rx is included.
If you have spektrum.
how do you reverse controls
Is that the 25mw version for europe?
+Thomas Bruyninckx this is the us version.
Hello, why you reverse the servo ?
it was going in the wrong direction.
Would the Dx 6 work the same way?
+cartman4241 yes - you will need to reverse the aileron and rudder channels and adjust the end points. Also to get all the flight modes you need to assign the 5th channel to a 3 position switch. I'll go over that next.
How do you assign the 5th channel? I have a dx8 and cannot find anything in it for "5th" channel. I tried aux 1 and aux 2 but nothing responded.
My wizard won't come on. Any ideas??
+mark novotny Hard to know just on that. DId it bind ok? Are you on the right video channel? Do you have an image just no wizard?
whats the name and model of the receiver?
+59poppN it's the spektrum receiver that comes with it - so far it's been solid. www.horizonhobby.com/radios/aircraft-receivers/spektrum-dsmx-quad-race-receiver-with-diversity-p-spm4648
thanks
Mine won't bind with my dx8 :(
What receiver is that?
www.horizonhobby.com/airplanes/aircraft-receivers/spektrum-dsmx-quad-race-receiver-with-diversity-p-spm4648
Oh ok. I thought the red one was for the us. Thanks
+Thomas Bruyninckx the green is the Blade version.
Thanks
