I know my radiomaster beter and beter thanks to Bill!!
Great video
Hi Bill, thanks for this super presentation and valuable info. Will stay tuned for more! Have a great day.
All done...again, thanks for all your help in my set up and beginning to learn how to use this fantastic radio.
You are very welcome.
Thanks again bill!.worked great!.I did have to go to zero on my offset to get the flaps to return flush to the wing. It all worked great on my 1300mm arrows bigfoot.I got tired of my old dx6i.I absolutely love this radiomaster!.After a few days and alot of videos i am very happy with it..Thank you for also doing the radio settings,not just the companion..
You are very welcome.
as a note..I did use 2 servo for flaps.They are on a y cable to an auxill ch on reciever.that may be y i had to adjust my offset.Either way it works and very happy with it.
Great tutorial , helped me a lot. Thank you very much :-) Happy flying :-)
Excellent and instructive video. Thanks a lot
Thank you for you videos, very helpful. Would this be the same procedure to be used for 2 servo elevator on 2 different channels?
Yes it would.
I really enjoyed this and all your video's. My Timber has flaps on a Y harness. Do you have a video for that?
Hi Jerry, you need to orient the servos in your wings the correct way basically the servo arms facing the same way. Then you need a Mix for the flaps which will consist of 3 lines:
All Source = SC or whichever switch you choose.
First Mix, flaps neutral:
Weight -100
Offset -100
Switch SC (forward)
Second Mix, flaps half
Weight -100
Offset -50
SC (center)
Mix Three, flaps full
Weight -100
Offset 0
SC (back)
Will look at producing a video in the near future.

@@the-happy-RC-flyer Thanks Bill.
Hi Bill thank you for your video. But i would like to Know how to setup two élévator servos or how can i change my initial plane setup i make a mistake at the first setup of my plane??Best regards.Lucien.
Hi Lucien,
You need to set up a MIX on the next available channel let’s say 6 if you are using channel 5 for the second aileron servo. The source should be the elevator INPUT. Then change the Weight from Plus or Minus depending on the orientation of the servos in your model.
This is soohh useful Bill as I have a Tx16S and am about to modify my Gentle Lady Glider to have flaps as I fly in a small field and need to get the landings spot on.
Ie...no second chances to go round again ( trees)
I have watched several of your vids and am understanding companion more and more.
Question please?
Say we have set up a bare bones model in companion and upon flying it , changes have to be made on the field to the actual tx.....how then do we get that edited/ changed criteria back to Companion so that both the Tx and Companion are reading the same page so to speak?...
I will take an educated quess for my homework.
Turn on the Tx.
Insert the usb lead to Tx and Pc.
Select Storage on the Tx itself.
Then " read tx to companion"?
Peter
Yes that’s correct open OpenTX Companion attach your radio to your computer then read models and settings. Once the models window opens click save and name your backup normally I use the date.

@@the-happy-RC-flyer thanks Bill.
For some reason edge tx will not let me run 2 servos for flaps one servo will work fine and the other will barley move
Hi Dan, what receiver are you using Express LRS? If so is your second servo on channel 5?
hi, thanks for the good tutorial, however, i tried it on my Dynam Primo but the flap only 1 step. anything i did wrong?
Rory please check your settings and that you have 3 lines for flaps in the INPUTS and 2 channel MIXES. Also check you have allocated a switch position for each flap position.
@@the-happy-RC-flyer yes i follow exactly what you did on that video.. ill check again soon.. thanks again
Bill thanks again. I'm having an issue. I like to use three positions. Parked of course, half flaps for takeoff and slowing for landing, and full flaps for landing, Parked and half work great. I cannot seem to get the numbers for full flaps. Can you help?
Jerry, this video should help you set up neutral, half and full flaps. If you are having problems please back up your radio and model settings and email the file to me to take a look. triplemadventures@gmail.com
@@the-happy-RC-flyer Will do thanks
Bill, thanks for going way over the top of any other RUclipsr. I didn't email you because I discovered what I did wrong. Thanks anyway.
@@jerryzito6840 you are very welcome.
Good day sir, I moved from Spektrum and my spektrum receiver allows me to set a transition time (I usually use one second) between the flap positions. How do I set that in the TX16S
Hi, this video should help you. You will notice there is a delay option as well as the Slow option.
ruclips.net/video/csDYQxdJA1k/видео.html
Thanks for your video selection.
There is a current version of Firmware 2.3.11. I followed your video on backups, etc. I followed the write procedure and rebooted radio after flashing. When it booted up, I got the following message:
SD Card version
Expected version: 2.3V0035
When I go into system, I see the following:
FW: opentx-tx16s
VERS: 2.3.11-otx (4328055e)
Date: 2021-01-08
Time: 16:04:05
EEPR: 219
OPTS: crossfire3, ghost, afhds3, internalmulti, multimodule, lua, luac
Any thoughts as to why the SD Card version warning?
Randall, you need to download the 2.3v0035 release of your SDCard contents and put them on your SDCard in your radio and you should be ok.
You need to download the latest version of the SDCard contents for your radio.
www.open-tx.org/
Go to News and click the release you have, I suggest you updating your OpenTX to the latest version.
Scroll to the bottom to Downloads Links and click SDCard
Select your radio and download the zip file
If you DO NOT have any custom pictures, sounds or Lua scripts just unzip the downloaded file and copy them to your SDcard.
If you do have custom files please check out my video My Procedure For Updating SD Card Contents
ruclips.net/video/7YXfGNqSiMM/видео.html
If this is your first time updating the SDCard I would suggest you copy the original card contents to a folder on your computer before updating.
Is there a way to do this directly on the transmitter?
Yes if you set up flaperons with one servo for aileron.
What?? is the MAX setting refer to?
Hi Bill, MAX is = to +100
Bill Clark - can you provide or describe how to restore modified model on OpenTX Companion back to my RadioMaster TX16s? Thanks
Randall once you have changed the model settings save the new Model & Radio settings to your computer by clicking File then Save you will now have a backup on your computer. Then with your radio connected to your computer click Read/Write and click Write Models and Settings To Radio your adjustments will now be sent to your radio. Just as a foot note you cannot send one model to the radio it has to be all the models and the radio settings.
@@the-happy-RC-flyer Great. That worked great. Do you have any other videos using Radiomaster TX16s? I was viewing your Setting Up Flaps this morning. Just got my radio yesterday. I have set up initial settings and created one simple airplane model and used your video on adding the flaps option.
Thanks
Randall
@@randallwatts9840 Here is the link to my RadioMaster TX16S Playlist which should help you. If you need any further help let me know.

@@the-happy-RC-flyer When I got all set up and went live with radio, I noticed that the flaps went in the wrong direction. You mentioned in one video that this could happen. How do I logically set up this reverse on Companion and/or radio? Thanks
@@randallwatts9840 go to MIXES and change the weight from 100 to -100 or the opposite way round so you control surface works the correct way. Do not change it in the INPUTS.
I dont understand, why put in that Offset? Does the weight not change the throw of the flap?
You only want the flap to move in the middle position and stay there with the switch in the back position. If you remove the offset the mix will not work.
