I feel like there is a hitch in the middle. It is not a smooth transition I’m guessing that tells you it’s center. But it’s a delay being new my brain stops right there it’s a hard stop out of the box. It is super strong and I have the upgraded aluminum gimbals not the normal ones. It’s just super noticeable like stepping in a hole when walking
Yep, that's how the gimbals work. You can make this less by decreasing the tension both vertically and horizontally, but that also has it's own downsides and upsides.
@@christopherconkright1317 Yeah, that does make sense. As far as I know we can't completely get rid of them. It's a bit of a shock for me too to be honest. I come from controllers (and hall-effect analog sticks etc) so I'm used to only having a bit of a 'notch' or 'hitch' in the dead-center of the sticks, not across the entire '+' shape like we have here. I'm new to the hobby so so far I've just slightly lessened the tension on my right gimbal in all directions (I fly Mode2) and slightly increased the throttle tightness and am just trying to learn to live with it at this moment.
I am planning to tighten the tension on my X9D. I will mark the screw with a marker an make a photo to have a reference point. In addition both sticks (and more important each axis) will be very consistent.
Radio master TX12 MKII has a slightly different mechanism and for loosening the tension, you go counter clockwise and for increasing the tension you go clockwise - if this helps someone
Pawel, have you made a video about setting up your radio with a self centering throttle (DJI Style you called it in the T18 teardown) and the adjustments needed in Inav to fly in that mode. I would prefer the quad I am building for photography flies the same as my Mavic Air if possible. I had no luck searching on RUclips for a video. Thanks for your excellent Inav video series, they are helping me a lot.
If you're satisfied with a certain tension, then perhaps buy a cheap dynanometer to measure it and then use that to quickly set your new radios to that measured tension.
I wish i could tune the GIGANTIC stick throw of the TX16S. Only thing thats keeping me from using it. Personal preference thing i know, but the Tango II is a little to small, and the Jumper stick throw is just right. (same on T16 and T18)
I like short throw, coming from xlite. I'm trying 5mm spacers to drop the pivot point of the gimbals a bit but I've seen a video of someone installing printed throw limiters I'd like to try.
Paweł Spychalski great video, since we’re talking spacers... saw a qx7 with raised gimbals, he said for pinch style, can that be done to the tx16s? Brings the pots up, changing pivot.
Adjusting the stick tension on the Radiomaster TX16S MK2 is done from the front of the case with adjusting the hex screws in the gimbals. (no need for removing the back)
I have just gotten a tx16s markii and have been flying around in liftoff for about 20 hours so far. I know I’m not good enough to care about these things but almost immediately I detentions the sticks so much that they center constantly but barely. I found almost immediately that I hate the bump when moving the stick. I may try to increase the tension some, my yaw axis needed to be increased a bit after going this. Still playing around with it though.
Great video ! Question.... I noticed my hall effect gimbals seem to be soft towards the most outside edge of travel 1/16" or so ? Is this normal ? Could they be adjusted mechanically ? Also.... How often do you recommend doing calibration feature on tx ?

Hi, have you managed to fix the bump on the center?

@@scatta2671 only if I make them super loose. I almost want to try and build a gimbal without it.
@@KindOldRaven I tried this. They became unusable almost. It can be lessened if I give up precision.

Thank you for this video! This is what I was looking for

It's all a personal preference. I, for example, like longer throw and even usually I extend sticks to have it even longer
I thought the same thing with my new Tango 2 but then I adjusted them out and it is very comfortable now.

@@c_labb9247 I have a qx7s as well as xlite. Gimbals in the tx16s are higher than the qx7. I doubt they could be raised any higher.

Only as long as you have the correct gimbals.
The tension of an unsprung throttle has to be adjusted from the rear of the gimbal assembly.
i actually find the stock tensions on the TX16S (for me) to be just about right

Thanks, Pawel!!! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Can I do this also in a tx12 transmitter?
If the throttle needed to be centred and spring loaded to the same tension as the right hand stick in mode 2, can you show how this is done?
Sir nice review how do we make out wether its a hall sencor gimbals. Both radios looks the same and not mentioned outside?
Why left gimbal is not self centred?
For throttle control
great video. What type of gimbals are those? Ive seen other videos on the radiomaster and the gimbals look different inside
What does ratcheting actually do?
It ratchets the throttle 😂
@@FPVUniversity but what is the effect of it? That’s what I don’t understand..
tghank you brother

This you can not really adjust without adding extra tension. For hall gimabls, calibration once a fear should be enough
Hi Paweł, just curiosity... the Horus X10/X10S gimbals fit on this radio?
Not tried but I would have to say no
Dzięki
Alternatively, you could do as I do, and fly Mode 1....Where Roll and Pitch are on separate sticks....There's a reason it's called Mode 1.....lol.
it's the opposite. you screw the screw to release the spring, relax
u tricked me i thort it was Joshua Bardwell
It's not my faut he look very much like me :)
You click baited this video. The title image had red gimbal sticks and was a boxer.
Does it matter which radiomismin the thumbnail? The process is similar
