Great video!

Man... I recently made the jump from a Spektrum DX8 to this TX16S. I have been flying long enough now to know how limited I was with Spektrum, but was TOTALLY overwhelmed with this radio and OpenTX when I first turned it on. Was actually beginning to regret my purchase... THANK YOU SO MUCH for the great series of videos on this topic. They are clear and in-depth, while still moving at a good pace. I am happy to say that I have almost all of my models moved over and am really enjoying OpenTX. The TX16S is also an amazing piece of hardware.

FINALLY a video setting up this radio for planes, not quads, racing quads, fpv and all that crap. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Just broke my QX7, so took the plunge and purchased this radio in the masterfire version. Was looking for some good tutorials and yours has answered every question I had so far. The best review I have seen mate. Perfect, 🇬🇧

Still the best channel for all things RadioMaster OpenTX, clear and concise with great video quality

I'm just like to say thank you very much for all of your videos/playlists, particularly the ones regarding open tx on the radiomaster TX16S. I have recently bought a TX16S, and although open tx is relatively straight forward to work with once you understand how it works, it is nevertheless quite daunting to someone in the beginning. The only experience i had with a transmitter previously was a Flysky i6, as I'm sure you are aware the jump between the two is incredible. Your videos have helped to comfortably understand open tx in a revy short space of time, of course im still by no means an expert, but i am now feeling reasonably competent. Not to mention also enjoying the experience so so much! Your videos are very straightforward, informative and the information is fed to the viewer in a brilliantly understandable fashion. I can't thank you enough, please keep doing what you are doing. There are so many people out there I'm sure that have been able to have a lot fun within the hobby thanks to you efforts. Very kind regards, Arron. (From England)

I'm a RC helicopter pilot who has switched from Spektrum to OpenTX on a Horus and an RM TX16S. With the dearth of tutorials on setting up helis, even yours are helpful for learning more about how to use OTX, so good job.

Thanks again, my TX16S was delivered today, it is pretty daunting, for a noob.

This guy is amazing , having no problem to understand

Awesome!!! Thank you for doing what you do, new subscriber and i am enjoying you're video's very much! It's hard to find someone to show you how to operate or program these radio's, no rc clubs or shops any where near me! Just a old timer in the mountains wanting to learn how to program these open TX radio's and get a plane up in the air! I do find it a bit over whelming at times and that's what is great with you're video's i can watch it over and over till it sinks in the brain bucket! I personally think you are the best on youtube for us newbie's to open TX / Multi radio's, you sir are a gem to the rc community, you're video's are straight to the point, very clear speech, and a nice zoomed in shot of the radio's screen as you explain it with you're pointer 110% Awesome!!! Semper Fi...

Thank you! I learned how to set up the first screen by using "TELE" button. The setting of the battery voltage is: value-> Batt !

Thanks for the good tutorial. You are the only person so far that knows what the six red buttons are for! Even the user manual does not tell us. I am interested to learn more about flight modes as I have learnt that they are specifically designed for gliders what with wind strengths, thermals and so on. I look forward to you doing a tutorial on this aspect but again, any thanks for this tutorial. Peter

This is a great video on both the Tx16S and OpenTX, and referred to planes too! Keep up the good -and improving- work!

So I'm completely new to flying and I just got my turbo timber evolution in today. Put it together no problem. Changed the connection to IC5 from 3 and got my first transmitter, the TX16S carbon. It's crazy how much stuff I don't understand already lol. Your video was awesome and you know your stuff. I'm subbed for sure. Send me to your best videos for getting me going and getting a profile for this new timber. It's the 1.5m version. I'm going to follow your update video now and get it up to date. Current software is from 2022.

This video was truly helpful. I have a Jumper T12 Pro. Most of this info applied to my TX. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us newbies.

Great Video...first time I got lost was at 24:41 I didn't see the hard press on TELE button. Took me a few replays but I got it in the end. I'm a newby which doesn't help. Now I'm off to look at all your other videos. Thank you.

Hi John been a while enjoying catching up with your videos. just had major surgery to remove my cancer which was successful recovery will be a long affair so keep the videos coming.i currently run spectrum but this looks to be a really nice radio.great information as usual and looking forward to getting well enough to have a little fly.thanks for all your hard work 👍 all the best from England take care and stay safe 🛩👍😁🛩️🔥👍👍

Really great video series about Radiomaster TX 16 S. You are really the best on you tube. Your video will be very helpful with my next radio transmitter Radiomaster TX 16 S.

Excellent tutorial for the initial setup of this radio. Never used OpenTX, so will stay tuned for more, especially using the global function. Unaware of using the global function vs model copy function when adding new models. I’m particularly interested in assigning voice alerts to certain switches to standardize my radio without going through a new setup and having to reprogram, and likely forgetting to address something. I learned something new today....Thanks!

John is the best in the business 👍

Fantastic video, and very timely, as I now have the radiomaster tx16s arrive finally today, which took about 1&3/4 months from Banggood. I think I might have to subscribe to get more information about how to set up my new radio. Very helpful video, thanks very much.

Great video. I am completely new to the RC world and trying to learn OpenTX is a big learning curve. The Greater the capability the steeper the learning curve to an application. Thank you!

Man.....This video helped me SO MUCH! Thank you!!! I'd be lost on my RM Tx16s without your videos. Great job!

Thank you for making this video series..... so I wouldn't have to! Seriously, as a fellow maker of "educational" RC content on KZfaq, I wanted to say that you are doing a fantastic job with this series. 😎

thank you. someone did a radiomaster video without implying drone use only. me and a friend did a few reliability tests with this radio. we have 3 planes. a timber x, fms suprez trainer and an escapade 60 size. the fms has a flysky rx in it. the timber has an X8R so does the escapade. we flew all day with the flysky rx and got great range. we did 2 batteries on the timber x and on the second flight there was a total radio out for 2 seconds only 200 feet out. the escapade flew on a different radio with xjt module and also had a radio out. we also tested 2 sfhss futaba receivers and they performed nicely so far. idk what it is with our field and FRSKY but that is not god to be having these glitches. form what im gathering you should ditch the jumper and go for radio master all day

I am really liking these video on this Tx! I see myself having one in the next year!

I just purchased the TX16S and I really appreciate your tutorials ! Very clear and concise, well done !

I think that open systems may offer advantages to model boat hobbyists who may want many more operating features than model planes, etc. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Thanks again for more valuable information. So, all I need to figure out is how to set up a wing with elevons.

This is tremendously useful in helping me to determine whether I will abandon my 10+ year old Spektrum transmitter to move to a modern radio. I was afraid of OpenTX, and now, I'm not, thanks to you.

Great tutorials. Been looking forward to following your tutorials. It was a relief to finally receive my tx16s after waiting so long for it to arrive from banggood, but it’s faulty! Its now got to be returned to radiomaster for repair. Great start.

Really useful you're right up there with Andrew Newton and Painless 360. I've been holding off getting to grips with my TX16S due to work, there's so much it can do you really need to set aside some time and be in the right frame of mind to absorb it.

Hi great video got my tx16s two days ago still getting used to open tx had a taranis years ago but at 76 you tend to forget, did a bind in a AR6600 and looks good, shame the range test doesnt work at low power will do a long range test at our field when next i go. Thanks again

Thank you, so much, excellent work...stay safe.

Thanks man... Pylon racers will run 1 aileron setups sometimes, lol.

Wow absolutely great video instruction. Thank you .

New to open tx, help me a lot thanks! Hope to see more on the other functions you where talking about, thanks for taking the time to show use!

Without you I had put my x10s on the trash. THANKS SO MUCH!

That’s a cool rc video reviews opening thing on your transmitter

Great videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

What a great tutorial !!! well done !! you did a great job here, thanks a lot

Thanks for this!!

Just bought this radio , and your video has been so helpful . Is it possible to tell me what order to look at the videos in ? What the next video to watch after this so that I an not getting ahead of my self .

For us old farts of the lower intellectual orders these videos are a godsend. Even little things like how to reverse the servos can stump even our Junior Brains Trust. Only 1 suggestion I could make is, if you are adding text info to the videos, could you add it to the top rather than the bottom of the screen. At the bottom it gets partially obscured by the task bar when we have to pause to catch up. :)

FYI throttle reversing is typically used in futaba whereas the signal is reversed through the receiver remember this is a multi-protocol

Hi John! Thanks again, learned this from u today...✌🏾😎 Liked, Subbed, Shared, Notified, Fly safe!🛩️

Excellent !

Outstanding tutorial. Does seem though that you'd have to do a couple before getting comfortable with the interface.

Awesome video, thanks. Can’t wait for my radio to arrive

Another great video, sir. Thank you so much. Could you please tell me how to turn On voice notification for switches? My TX16s is silent when I toggle switches

Hi! Very good Information on the radio. This is Robert Wioch. I will give you always a Thumps up. you are the best out there. AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++ :))

Supper informative video. Thanks for taking time to produce and share!

Any idea why my Volantex mini warbirds bind ok but have to be rebound every time i restart the tx16s? I disconnect the plane first and power it on last. If i leave the tx16s on and disconnect the plane, then reconnect, it, its still bound. But when the tx16s is turned off, I have to re bind. Any clues. Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks.

Thankyou for this video, very helpful and well communicated!

Great video. Some feedback in case you don’t notice is that there’s a lot of static or hissing sound throughout the video. Just wanted to let you know in case something simple like a fan running or anything that wouldn’t require an upgrade of equipment.

Great video! So much to learn, but really exciting! Thanks!

Great video and its very informative. However, I am having a problem getting the throttle to work.

Hi i have the futura 64mm edf jet its states wing type should be 1 aileron 1flap how can i do this on a tx16s ? Thanks

I just purchased the TX16S and I really appreciate your videos, the information save me a lot of time, but isn't there all way a but!! I program my first plane and a couple of the control surfaces were reversed. I ran the video a couple of time and nothing was talk about how to reverse the servos. In the user manual in the INPUT page under WEIGHT it said put in a negative value and the servo will reverse, but not on the input page do it on the output page where you have to reverse a small arrow to reverse a servo. a learning curve I do like the transmitter. I also would like to active the sound like your radio have not found that yet.

Just bought the Twin Timber. Got it hooked up the the tx16s and everything works. Just got the reverse to work yesterday. Where do I find what the acronyms stand for when I get into telemetry?

I need some help please . I have a radio master TX16, I am trying to bind it to a spectrum AR631 . The AR631 is from a crashed areoscout I had . I bought a xfly glaster and I want to use it in that plane . I am getting them bind up, but the motor does not run and all the channels are all mixed up even after setting it up AETR set up . What am I doing incorrect. Really need some help here

8 min after I enter model name and no image I see the timer set but I cannot enter anything on the line Timer 1 I have to start with Name I have no idea what to do tks

How can I put in reverse thrust on my radio master tx16

I just purchased one of this and found your tutorial very very useful. it's good that some people like you put time and effort which helps a big community! thank you for sharing your valuable knowledges. I have a little issue when setting up a 3 posituons switch in order to control 3 modes on an FMS Gyro. Would you mind giving me some help ? As this is a special request I can donate a few €€ if you want. Thanks in advance.

Towards the end of this video you talk about resetting the flight timer.... How do you do that?

Great review! However I'm having problems choosing picture for new created model. I can see the picture in the folder from the SYS menu - SD CARD, but it's not on the list when I edit the model. Can you help please?

You are the best 👍 🔝 👌

I'm looking for instructions on how to use EdgeTX(2.9.2) with touchscreen on RM TX16S

Yet another great video. I have a power high speed glider (HK Excalibur). I used the wizard and when I came to tail, I chose V-tail. My receiver is TAER. When I bind the plane, nothing works right. No idea why.

Having unintentionally reset a persistent timer, is there a way by which I can re-write the old total (in this case total airframe hours) and continue UPWARDS from there?

Excellent.

And thanks for a great instructional video

Hi John, Your videos are a huge amount of help in my attempts to master OpenTX. Is there any way, having used the Wizard to set up a model,earlier

I have no plane setup in the wizard, only glider. I have the script on the SD-card and when I manually go into the lua script in TC16X I can start it from there, but not from the actual wizard. Why's that? I tried with deleting all the files on the SD-card and reinstalling the latest OpenTX but no difference than I also got an quad but still no plane.

What are the differences between flaps and ailerons

Glad I found your site......many questions....hoping your videos will answer in a language that I can understand...giving technical along with a simpler example.......one question today...using a simple 4 channel plane model build , when picking airplane choice , does it automatically add inputs/ outputs or do you have to do that ?...I have always used spektrum radios ,everything is almost done for you...so this is quite a challenge....

I dont see plane wizard at transmitter although have SCIPTS/WIZARD/plane folder

When I click on the wheel to select models, I don't get the different models on the left side like Balsa, jets and so on. I only see models and category. Did I delete these somehow and how do I get them back there? Thanks for any help.

I have not watched all your videos, but they are so good I will try them all. I'm somewhat baffled. I currently have 4 airplanes setup and ready to fly on my TX16s. I have been trying to add another plane, but it will not bind. I tried 3 different DSM receivers, and they will not bind. What am I doing wrong?

hi when I turn on the multi function its saying "Module update recommended". How do I solve this issue?

Great video, been watching this a few times. Now to do Throttle cut off.. but quick question... Not finding info on what does "Insert Before" or "Insert After" in the mix tab. Really confused on that one. I'm a long time (12yrs) with Spektrum, and have a Jumper TX16, and now just upgraded to Edge with the new Radio Master XT16S, so basically it's the same premise, but what does that actually mean??

do you have a video on how to set up safe mode on a Conscendo glider? Binding is ok but setting up safe mode won't work. Thanks, Al

Hello, I am interested in the Radiomaster TX16s and I wonder what the difference is between the ELRS and the 4in1 version what makes different?

dear i have TURNIGY 9x8c v2 , 8 ch full range receiver and also hobbyking , HK- TR 6A V2 , 6 CH , digital receiver system , pls can i use them with radio master t 16 ? and how i can use them , which protcol ? and if these work , so can i also need to fine tune FERQUENCY . pls guide , because i have more then 14 receiver of these kind , ALSO I AM USING EDGE VERSION ? pls guide to me i am new , EDGE VERSION IS GOOD OR OPEN TX ?

Hi John, On my TX16s using the Wizard to Create a new model, I can only select Glider as the Plane logo never come black square highlighted. My jog wheel work perfectly however. Any idea? Thanks

have you done setup heli, flybar and flybarless

Hello from Brazil! Congrats for the videos! A Question: My TX16S doesn't show the letters relative to the channel. The Open TX versiona is: 2.3.11. Its been a couple of day that i am whith the radio.

That’s a lot to take in.

Hi there, I have question I have tx16s can I bind Futaba receiver? Thanks

Some pylon racers had only 1 aileron since all turns were in the same direction.

Hello I am very new to RC planes and i followed this video but cant seem to find my Receiver in the list. I have a Spektrum AR400 receiver. any help would be appreciated

I have to bind my mini mustang every time I turn the TX on. There are other videos 0n youtube showing all eachine planes auto binding. it has suggested by others that i assign bind to a switch on the TX. I can not find these options anywhere and there is no auto bind option in any menu

Hi thanks for this. Very new and a little overwhelming. I'm wondering I have no H switch listed in model setup. The switch also returns to the downward position. I bought the unit second hand. Is it likely damaged ? Any suggestions welcome thank you.

How log does it take the radio to turn on and be ready to use? Ireally dislike radios that that take long bootup times, I want a radio that is just a radio, not a computer with an operating system.

your videos have been very helpful but I do have a question. I am setting up a plane that has dual servos for elevator with no "y" connection as well as no "y" for ailerons. is there a video to help me with that? thanks in advance bud!

AKA - Michael...Great info! I have the E-Flite Maule M7 that has flaps and I'm not sure what to select. I know to select flaps, but do not know how many channels, one or two. On the SYS button, and when you scroll down to the bottom, where is say; Default channel order and mode, what should it be set at, RTEA, AETR etc. Thank you so much in advance!

Sir, are you still working with opentx? I have some questions about its its functionality for a project, because it's been depreciated, but seems functional for what im doing. Thanks

Great videos. They have really helped me find my way in OpenTx. BTW - I am confused regarding your Special Function example. You mention switch SH, but on my radio SH is a momentary switch. Is your switch different?

Just purchased the TX16S, and noticed my model setup screen doesn't show (balsa, jets, sports etc.) and noticed down below the Models logo , the sd card symbol shows 0.00 GB. Nor does it show letters in the circles for (flaps, rudder etc.). And then when I move between questions the text I've entered disappears. The firmware says to be version 2.3.11-otx. Any answers as to why?
