Hi from Michigan • Flying Pilgrims RC Club - have this radio, second summer flying the Cessna 150T - Every step in this video worked as described - It solved the ballooning issue with the flaps and they also go down slow, like a real airplane. 👍 Thanks ✈

Super job. Make more soon. Just finalizing Hangar 9 P-51 build with full Spektrum. Avian 100a, Power 52, AR637T, HV Digital standard servos, flaps, Smart battery, and wireless remote receiver, Xoar e-14-6 and 13-8. The Spektrum videos have been an indispensable complement. A total package. Thank you a ton.

Thanks. Very helpful. Please advise how I configure my flaps to work synchronously down together. Presently they are operating like ailerons when I operate switch D.

The flap>elevator mix isn’t to prevent ballooning. Your plane balloons because you were going too fast when you lowered the flaps. The flap>elevator mix should be used to set the glide speed/descent rate at idle so that your plane will glide without stalling or descending too steeply.

@@SpektrumRCvideos When I purchased my DX6e a few years ago I also bought several receivers - they are 610s but they have different numbers - is there a difference and are they all compatible ? I sure wish there was a concise KZfaq video on setting up a plane step by step - Im not real anxious to learn I didnt something wrong with a $400 airplane.

Being a total beginner with DX6 I’d like a detailed video on the “F” mode you briefly hit on, is there a more beginner based tutorial on the “F” mode setups? Thanks.

@SpektrumRCvideos 4 жыл бұрын

There are many videos that we have produced and others that mention using the Flight mode menu but we have not done a dedicated flight mode video. Is a great idea but really the function is very broad and can be used for a large number of different functions and effects. So it might be a pretty long video ;)

I was setting my flaps up and just wondered why that when you set position 0 to -100 it says -102% on the monitor display and the same with 100 showing 102% on the monitor display when 0 shows 0 . Many thanks 👍🏻

@philbrennan6719 4 жыл бұрын

shouldn't the elevator trim have been negative?(down elevator when the flaps are engaged)

@SpektrumRCvideos 4 жыл бұрын

It is positive when giving down elevator. When the stick is pushed forward that is technically positive pitch movement. Now this number will be different on the monitor screen depending on the reverse direction of the servo. Great question :)

I am adding flaps to my Carbon Cub S 2 and couldn’t find the pre-done program on your website, I tried using the S+ and had to add flaps into the program for it and used Switch D and my elevator compensation kicks in but the flap servo does not move. I tried using the Carbon Z Cub program since it already has flaps installed and that doesn’t work either, I don’t know what to do or how to do it at this point.

@aaronstrom16 2 жыл бұрын

These tutorials are awesome thank you. I'm having an issue whenever I choose a different model on my NX10 lately the flap settings are backwards..not reversed in servo reversing they are backwards to the switch position..if I do reverse the switch that overdrives the servo badly, I have to redo the entire 1 and 3 position settings. The middle settings are correct. I dont' know what is causing this to happen but it really causes alot of frustration going out to the field and having to retrim my flap settings. Could this possibly happen after accidently changing stick modes? sometimes apon changing brightness I accidently hit the mode menu and end up switching off the TX and recalibrating after that. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

@SpektrumRCvideos 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Aaron, Changing the mode should not have done that, the only thing that comes to mind is that if you changed the servo to a different servo it could do this.

Normally that is caused by the Flap channel being mixed to another channel to mirror the flap outputs. How are your flaps setup? What is the wing type set to?

Why does my DX6e monitor screen look different than yours (update 2.08)? Yours shows 6 channels and mine shows what appears to be 7 channels THR AIL ELE RUD FLP GER AX2 (I'm confused).

@SpektrumRCvideos 2 жыл бұрын

There is an error in the current 6-channel transmitters that the radio shows a 7th channel on the display. This will be fixed in v2.09, which should be out in the next few weeks. You still have a 6-channel transmitter. To configure channels 1-3, use the top row. Channels 4-6 are on the bottom row. Position the cursor by counting and you will be fine.
