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.

Thanks for taking the time to write and share your experience. I'm very happy to know this material has helped you get your arms around this amazing platform. J

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)

Hopefully my video will help you with the big bits so you can get your models up and running.

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.
@RCVideoReviews3 жыл бұрын
I don't have access to an FMS gyro, but what I've found on the web says to connect the channel controlled by a 3pos switch to the port labeled SBUS/PPM. So you should only have to put a 3 position switch on any mixer line--i.e. Mix Line 5. Set the source to a 3 position switch. Label it mode, then connect channel 5 from your receiver to the SBUS/PPM port on the FMS gyro. I'm always happy to receive donations, but it's never a requirement to get help. If you're moved to do it, the easiest one-time method is via the Paypal link at the bottom of this page: rcvideoreviews.com/

@RCVideoReviews2 жыл бұрын
You can check any settings on any model using any method to create it. Using a wizard does not stop you from viewing inputs or any other aspect of the model setup. Also, my advice would be to stop using the wizard. It's a useless crutch IMHO. You're far far far better off just learning to setup your models by hitting "Create Model", letting the radio populate the first four channels and going from there.

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.

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?
@RCVideoReviews Жыл бұрын
The 4-in-1 uses a module that enables binding with many existing RF technologies like D16, DSM, AFHDS2A etc. ELRS uses LORA modulation and will only bind with ELRS receivers; however, that list of receivers is impressive and since it is opensource, the development cycle is continuous. ELRS has also proven to be rock solid control. There are use cases for both, it kind of depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

3.27 seconds with splash screen and bootup sounds off. If you want a radio that's just a radio and not a computer with an operating system then you won't be using anything with model memory, mixing, curves, variables, audio prompts, telemetry, logging, or multi-protocol support. Those capabilities require processing and file i/o...i.e. a computer. I haven't used a radio like that for about 19 years.

@RCVideoReviews Жыл бұрын
Search the channel for videos about the mixer. Bottom line, each line in the mixer represents an output channel. So if you don't want your ailerons (or flaps) on a "Y", you have to connect them individually to a pin on the RX. That pin must have a corresponding mixer entry usually defined by an aileron input on EdgeTX. Keep watching my videos, I've covered this type of question dozens of times. Look for videos that talk about inputs, mixes, and outputs.

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!
@RCVideoReviews4 жыл бұрын
If your flaps are connected via a Y-Cable and only take one channel on your receiver, then it's just one channel. Most planes should only have one channel for flaps. It would take a pretty special use case to use two channels for flaps I think (maybe glider flyers). Default Channel order is whatever you want it to be. In OpenTx land we don't really care that much about things like channel order. I think that is used so when you create a new model the software knows your preference for what surface to put on what channel. i.e. If you have AETR and create a new model, the software will do this: A=Ch1 E=Ch2 T=Ch3 R=Ch4 If you have RTEA and create a new model, the software will do this: R=Ch1 T=Ch2 E=Ch3 A=Ch4 I've always used AETR but it really doesn't matter.
