*FOR THE UPDATED ESC: M2 V2 and Explore Use FLAT LINE THROTTLE CURVES* Normal: 0-60-60 Idle 1 : 65-65-65 Idle 2 : 85-85-85

I plan to order one of these soon from you. Excellent video, I wish more manufacturers / resellers would take the time to do this. Much easier than following a tiny chart in a manual.

Excellent tutorial! I picked up a Kensun Satellite Receiver with Binding Button DSM2 DSMX & Lemon RX Compatible (KEN-01015) from BuddyRC, watched this video, and my M2 Explore is now RTF.

been flying all blade products but im geeting this bad boy and now i know how to bind it to my dx9 thanks.

New subscriber, just picked up a gently used M2 V1 on RCCanada.. cant wait to try this little heli out.. its been over 10 years since I have flown . I have 10plus years experience flying RC helicopters , Goblin 500/700/770 , Align etc.. this is a great little heli to get back into the hobby .. Thanks for this great video. Cheers

Thanks for these vids man. Im ordering this heli in orange and this sat reciever tmrw!

a great video that others have not been able to make so understandable

Thanks so much. easy to follow and now I am ready to fly...

Just used this to setup my explore using the settings in the video, it works pretty well, but the heli is very tame

Great vid. Very helpful and straight forward. Keep up the good work bud. Now subbed :)

Best Damn helicopter radio setup I've ever seen. Taught me something new. I'm getting back into shell's from about a 10yr vacation. You video brought back some memories I had forgotten. Got three helicopters ordered and on the way. Thanks for such a great step by step setup video. I subscribed.

Thanks, was getting pretty frustrated, couldn't get this to work on my NX10 for some reason, but works perfect with my DX9.

I wish I could hit the like button more than once. I watched this video very carefully, and with the proper use of the pause button, was able to follow you step by step in setting up my brand new OMP M1-EVO with almost no issues! I found the expo around the center collective to be a bit much, seemed soft and slow to respond, so cut that down and it did great! Also has the slightest of tail wags, and again, cut down the expo there and it mellowed it out there a bit as well. (or maybe I added some?....I forgot now!) This heli's great, and your video taught me a lot about not only the heli, but how to work my radio too! (Newer Spektrum NX-8) Just what I needed as I was really getting spoiled with all the "BNF" model out there. Thanks for the thorough video man! YOU ROCK!!

Great video !! Thank you. It really helped me out

Seriously thank you for this. I just bought one of those satellites from buddy rc for my omp that is on the way. I'm really looking forward to flying this helicopter.

I just order mine omphobby m2 explore RTF version from bandgood can't wait. I'm only doing basic flying don't want to crash it. It's to nice looking helicopter m2. I'm excited

Great info.

The Kensun satellite is hard to find right now but I was able to get one. Easy to Bind. Problem I see is that it adds thickness to the side of the RX (I mounted exactly as you show) and now the canopy rubs the right Aileron servo arm. I think I am going to have to use a dremel to fix that as I do not any friction on that ball joint.

Love your delivery man. I’m waiting for my second M1 to be delivered and im trying to find settings. I have a Kensun satellite and will use my NX6. This was great help. Thanks and keep producing these vids.

great video . thank you .

Great video. I have the Explore that I will be flying with a Futaba 16SZ. I’m going to try and use your pitch and throttle curves with. I have a little drift but I might not have the smash level. I did have to adjust the center points of the servos. I’ve been trying to find out more on the self leveling and how to set it up. By the looks it’s on channel 5 but not sure how to set it up. If you’ve done anything with that could you share what you did? Thanks. After I get mine flying the way I like I might try and do a Futaba video. Thanks again.

@Buddy RC. Nice and clear video, and what a machine this is! I finally got my OMPHobby bound to my Spektrum DX6E transmitter. For some reason the OMP will only react to the tx with one specific profile. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Man as a Noob to this hobby, watching this video seems way overwhelming! I wanna get the m2 with the t6 controller so i won’t be too overwhelmed with all the controls!

Got the M1 working, thanks! Is there also a option to use the failsafe on a spectrum transmitter.? And how to setup?

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been dying to purchase a M2, but I’m terrified of the radio setup with my DX6 G3.

Great Video , I am very tempted to order and try one of these out.

Your videos are the best 🙂

This is awesome I just bought DX6E are these same for ME? Thanks🔥

Can you use the newest Spektrum sats on this flight controller ? The reason I ask is that some FBL systems like BeastX suggest swapping some pins around on the sat cable to avoid damage to the SAT ..

You need a bigger bench lol 😅😅. Love the video! Subed!

Great video!! How do I set up rescue mode with the Spektrum Tx? Thanks.

I have my pitch curve on futaba t14sg Set to 100 - 85- 0 - 85 - 100, at idle 1 throttle curve 70- 67,5 - 65 - 67,5 - 70. And idle 2 i think in the middle to 75 and so on and it flies really really great

Hi can you also mention the pitch in degrees for the 3 flight modes (pitch curves)

I have to wonder about your pitch curve set to 56 at mid stick. I set mine to 50. I’ve never seen a manual that suggests 56. Also, I don’t know how anyone can fly with that much expo, I got rid of it all. Preferences I guess. Finally, it would’ve been nice to have a third hand for the binding procedure.

Thanks bud , long time heli guy but im older now and i 3d a little but i just wana fly some , just got this same bird and i fly Spektrum so thanks ...

Hello nice video. Can you set up rescue on the M2 and the M1 with spektrum?

Is it possible to set up a separate switch for your in transmitter flight modes (Normal , iu1, iu2) and the omp controller flight modes? I'm already a experienced pilot so won't use stability. What exactly is the difference between normal and violent 3D. besides the throttle curve you assign yourself?

Wonderful set of instructions! With your heli knowledge you must start flying some 3D. Figure out the way to do it, step by step in your mind, then get on an elevated area like a hill so that you have more room for errors and can still see the heli well and do it!

You will have to get a new heli after that first invert.lol like I did ..slam! Into a rock . I'm alot better now and my m2 V2 comes today..thanks 😊

Hi TJ, I am looking to use my DX6e radio with the M2 EXP. I have an SPM9645 as my external satellite receiver. That should be fine. I know there is a one-off step where you have to bind to an external source, i.e. a different receiver. I have actually watched Freddy Cordova doing this and he uses an old 7020 receiver as his 'external source' to bind to, but I note there is a lead from the 7020 to the satellite receiver. The only receiver I have lying around is an AR610 which has no such functionality, just the 7 open ports on the top. Will that work and if yes, will it mean I just bind wirelessly as opposed to wired? Thank you.

Hi Are you able to do a vidoe on how to set rescue mode up using a dx18? Please

When you are setting up your dual rates at your idol up to high rate I think you set the dual or the I'm sorry the expo at 15 on everything except for aileron you set it at 40 am I correct is that correct?

Hello I have old dx6i skektrum would it work like this for me also thanks

Hi Buddy , my recently purchased M2 Explore is not changine into Mode 1 or 2 the only change I get is the RPM and no change in Agility . I am using a DX7 and the statilite receiver. Its flying great otherwise. Thanks

Do we need setup gyro seetings on the TX? I use a Spektrum DX8. Thx

Awesome video, could you please share with me omp m1 serup for Futaba transmiter?. Thanks

Do you have some video explaining about Futaba, I have the Futaba14SG radio and I liked this Helimodelo, but I didn't see anything about how to Bindar and configure in Futaba Protocol.

...ive flown various micro helis and then the blade 120, 330 and now the OMP M2 V2 and holly shit!!!....this helicopter is absolutely amazing to fly and is VERY well built and stable in flight...once you actually take it up from ground into a hover for the first time then you will be able to actually understand the absolute awsumness of the direct drive motor and its stability and response...and all of this is on level 1 or beginner...i am an experienced pilot but i dont or cant do 3d yet...basically my 3d is only loops and rolls which anybody can do and flipping it inverted and hovering but thats not shit either...i like to fly scale and very fast and this helicopter is so smooth and very powerful and lands so smooth and i get 8 mins of flight time

Nice. Any tutorial for Radiomaster TX16s?

Question, I want to comfirm, can the spektrum transmitter bind with M1 directly?

I have one question with my m2 explorer I just got. When I turn it on there are faint but sharp noises coming out of the on board system and I don't know if that's normal or not. It does it quite often and just want to make sure it's normal.

Congratulations! Great video, simple and detailed. Can I ask you a question? Why didn't you use the 120° swashplate instead of the normal one?

Great if they ever are available tried all over .

So what should i use to get it to work???

Question guys. So did my first flight and wow amazing heli. One issue I found is in Normal mode I find I need a ton of collective to keep hover. In stunt 1 and stunt 2 I’m well over half on the collective to hold the hover? Does the blades need re centring

How do you add the bail out feature?

Would the pitch curves shown starting at 13:36 be considered mid, for beginner or ??

of these two radios , radiomaster tx16s or spektrum nx 8 which is the easiest too setup.

hi buddy rc can you show how to make rescue mode on dx spektrum transmitter?

what's the set up for the gyro values ?

Can you show the setup on a trannis x9d so I can have rescue its much different than 16tx thank you been a while since flying helis resuce would be nice

Cam I do this setup to dx6i transmitter?

Hi, can you share your spm file for your radio setup? Thanks

So do these settings enable 3D mode? Or do you have to activate something else?

I've read that the ESC for the V2 has a governor. If so, should we use throttle flat-line curves such as 75-75-75-75-75 for IU1 and IU2?

Can you pls explain me the values for the ch5? i set it on a 3 way switch and now i have to enter values for the stability mode and 3d mode. can you tell me your values? i have at idl up1 a bit of tail wagging?? is it normal? thank you!

Great video, I've just purchased a explore. if you didn't want to use beginner mode and soft 3D mode in flight modes how would you do this if possible? I only want full 3D mode in all flight modes.

Thanks for this great Video ! Which Spektrum Satellite is this with Bind Button ??? I use my M2 at the Moment with a SPM 4648 Receiver .. Thanks Dirk

You can bind a satellite into any spektrum reciever hooked up to a battery ,bind the receiver in the normal way ,then unplug the satellite and plug it into heli receiver, job done

Just followed the vid to setup my dx6 and im not getting off the ground untill about 75% throttle these settings are not like the t6 transmitter that i use with my other m2

Thanks so much for the tips on setting this up with a binding Satellite receiver. The OMP Hobby manual for the M2 and their web site provide no information about this. I guess they want me to buy their $60 receiver or what?? I have a Spektrum DX7 which I use for my 3 Blade Helicopters and my 2 Align Helicopters and my flight simulator. I need another Transmitter like I need another hole in my head.

Hi so I'm getting a flashing red light after binding the blue is solid using dmx RC on 22ms and ix12 everything works ok though 🤔 TIA

Hi! Your vidéo is helpful but you don't explain how to set a switch on spektrum for self leveling mode. Is normal mode is the same switch for leveling ? Franck from France

I never did figure out how to set up rescue ,on a spectrum radio..other than just flipping it back to normal mode

Can someone help me on what is the most likely problem with my M2? i setup my M2 with spektrum satellite, i binded it no problem. I set up the transmitter. I did not adjust any gains on the board. I flew it only 2 times, and it flew very smoothly there was no problem. But then on my second flight after a minute of flying, all of a sudden my tail motor blew out and did not respond. I was able to quickly save it from mid air by throttle holding, and it glide down, with a hard landing. Upon inspection, everything seemed to be fine except the tail motor. For some reason, the tail motor would respond only with twitches when i throttled up. occasionally, it would spool back to normal and respond to gyro input/rudder stick input , but most of the time it just twitches while the main motor spools up normally. At this, point the helicopter could not fly anymore, because the tailmotor would not function correctly. I dont know if it is a tailmotor defective or esc or mainboard problem. I literally only flew it and then it broke by itself. Although, could it be because i was doing pretty agressive pitch pumps that time?

How do you enable SELF LEVEL mode?

Did I miss something? Gyro, Governor settings?

Will this setup make the nx8 function just like the omp transmitter? Will it fly the same? Will it feel the same?

Dose it come with the DSMX SATELLITE ? Or I need to buy 1 ?

bonjour il faut pré dire quoi comme recpteur pour un nx8 ?

What is the device attached to the front of the transmitter? Is it something to do with FPV?

can this setup be used for the older M2?

Is this same setting friend for M1?

Question, same setup for NX series?

Can I set this model up with my Gen1 DX8? Man I hope so as I already ordered one!

Hello, excuse me where is gyro setup? Many thanks.

I put my Radio behind me, or do a 180 and it bind without taking a walk!! food for though!

Anyone else use these settings and have huge dead band? Love this Heli and the M1 but would really like to get it locked in.. On either DX8 or Vbar

Much Needed Sat RX with Bind Button ....... OUT OF STOCK ......Da*n

Please consider doing a video for the SFHSS Receiver OSHM2055? THANK YOU!

Is IT better AS a Blade 150S ?

What end point for m2 v2? 100 or 125?

Hey on buddy rc Iam try to find the receiver your talking about for my omp helicopter. Do you have a number that i can search for it on buddy rc.. I can't find it on buddy rc

Can you please send me a link to we’re I can purchase the satellite receiver? Thank you.

When are they going to be back in stock, been awhile

WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE EXPLORER BACK IN STOCK ???????

That tedious method to get into binding mode is ricockulous!

Are these the settings provide by OMP Hobby or your own personal preferences settings? I look in the manual and it shows nothing for the settings. I ordered a OMP HOBBY M2 V2 and have a DX6.

I really wanted to buy the M2 Explorer but I only fly with Spektrum :(

Really finding the collective way out of wack can’t seem to figure it out. Set up exactly like the video.
