The NX6 I have is a good radio but I really love my TX16S and it was about half the price of the NX.

@@shanesdiy that’s just crazy to me. In screen quality alone you get far more bang for your buck.

Working on this now, should online later today!

@@shanesdiy thank you

Absolutely. I have a Zorro and have it setup the same way. With the B&W radios, you just don't have access to all the cool display Widgets.

@@zsdr Hi! I've done a couple videos on it. They are done with a Wdget called "SwitchPRO". Here's a link to a video I did just after this one showing how I setup that screen. Check the description of that video for a link to the original video I did on several Widgets including SwitchPRO. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aaijlMhizLm4e5c.htmlsi=HEO7lVi2raCBRVzP

I also have the Timber X. It lets you assign the safe channel and it does not have a panic channel setup at all. Just configure your SE switch to channel 7 (instead of 5 like I did in this video). Then to set that as your flight modes switch, have the RX and TX bound and working. Be sure rates are set to 100% as well as the other tips I talked about in this video. Then you hold the two sticks down and in and flip the SE switch 5 times. OFF->ON->OFF = 1 switch flip. This should assign channel 7/SE switch to be your flight modes switch. When you bind be sure you followed the bind procedure to enable safe select or the safe mode won't be available.

The documents more break down the basics of various functions, where to find things, etc. Through KZfaq channels like mine you'll find help with specific applications. Best advice is learn your way around EdgeTX, watch videos like mine and get creative. There are many ways to accomplish just about anything in EdgeTX. Some methods are better than others, or more "efficient" really, but if it gets the job done and functions as expected it's probably not wrong. If you can dream it up, you can probably make it work with EdgeTX on a Radiomaster radio.

@@shanesdiy Good advice. I have watched many of your vids and will continue. You have the best insight while keeping it simple and understandable. I am finding some info in researching receiver and transmitter docs, which helps. Would rather use the open solution of Edge and Radiomaster. Spektrum is alluring with its simplicity....at a cost of course. Many thanks for your time and effort to bring us great vids. All the best!

@@john9663 I have several Spektrum radios as well. It's funny, folks talk about how much simpler Spektrum is vs EdgeTX but I find it the opposite. Once you wrap your head around how to navigate EdgeTX, I find it much easier to set things up in EdgeTX than on my NX radio.

Any particular plane? If I do one I'll try to use one that is similar to what you are using.

What airplane? Some models have preset channels, like the Aeroscout used in this video, that you cannot change without doing a factory reset on the receiver. Some models do need the channel set and the typical method is holding the sticks down and in and flipping the switch assigned to the channel 5 times (OFF-ON-OFF = 1). For this to work you must have a few things set correctly. I mentioned a few common issues at the end of this video that can effect this. High rates must be set, do not "Enable max throw", must have channel range set to 1-12, must be using DSMX1F or DSMX2F. Let me know more detail of your setup if these things don't help and we can check a few more things.

That wasn't the point of this video. Here's a link to one of my videos performing the bind with the TX16S and a Spektrum AR637, which has the same process as the AR631 in the AeroScout. Only difference is you don't have to enable safe mode during bind on the AeroScout and most other trainer type E-Flite and Hobbyzone planes, it is always enabled. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9BjeJClmN-ud5c.htmlsi=2ffqIwBDab365YEv

The Apprentice S2 is setup the same as the AeroScout featured in this video where you have SAFE/auto level, Intermediate, and Advanced. Both intermediate and advanced still have AS3X. Based on your question I assume you are already aware of this. You can change the flight modes via Forward Programming (make sure your TX16S has the latest Forward Programming scripts) but only after unlocking the receiver. Two options for unlocking. First, if the firmware is older, you'll need the SPMA3065 USB adapter and using the Spektrum Programmer software update to the latest firmware. After the update, you should have additional menu options for performing a "Factory Reset" which will clear all gyro setup. At this time the gyro will be completely disabled. You can then go through the "First time setup" and configure the flight modes however you like. I have many other videos on this process with the TX16S. Option 2 to unlock, if the receiver has more recent firmware, on the first Forward Programming screen there will be an option to "Show Advanced Menus". Once you enable that, you should see the "Factory Reset" option which then would follow the same process as above. I have a short video explaining how it works if you have this newer firmware already on the receiver. Title says something about "No USB required".

@@shanesdiy Thanks for the help

Aeroscout doesn't really need high/low rates but I do set 30% expo. When I do setup high/low rates with Spektrum on EdgeTX, I also use the SE switch, along with the safe modes. I'll set safe mode to 100% rates 0% expo (safe lowers rates), low rates in "intermediate mode" of 70% +30% expo. High rates in Expert mode with 100% rates + 30% expo. I do it on the same switch as the safe modes so you can't accidentally select low rates and safe/auto level mode at the same time. That would give you about 60% of whatever your low rates were if you set both at the same time. With the method I use you can't set low rates and safe at same time. If interested in my dual rates + safe modes setup I can do another video on that.

​@@shanesdiyPlease explain to me how to do it. could you share your json model to review it??

Might make a short video some day of how I do it but for now, here is what I do. Make sure you spell the web site correctly, apparently there is another site with close spelling that is "malicious" in nature... The correct web site is www.skyraccoon.com/ (note 2 c's and 2 o's). What I do is open the site, search for the plane I want and open it's page. In the upper right corner there is always a photo "floating" around. I right click on that and click "Save As" and it saves as a PNG image so there is no background. They are slightly higher resolution so might slow down the radio while switching models. Just put that .png image into your radios /IMAGES folder. You can only have a max of 9 characters plus the file extension. If the name is too long you won't be able to see it on the radio. There is a folder on the site for each plane full of jpg images but I prefer the png image as it has no background, looks much better on the radio like you see here on this video.

I decided to do a video on this and it just posted! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htGVYJOhqZ_VYI0.html

What plane/model? Some models only have 2 modes, no "intermediate".

Thanks. It’s the e flite eratix

@@tpdmotor13 Yes, the Eratix only has two modes and also no panic setup to my knowledge. The dedicated channels 5 and 6 used in this video don't apply. You can use any channel between 5-9 for your safe mode switch. In this plane you aren't likely to add things that you'd want to plug into channels 5 and 6 but by using channel 7 for example, you can leave your two servo channels available for servos. You probably already know this from the manual, but you can either set your f-modes channel via Forward Programming or by holding the sticks down and in and flipping the desired switch (mapped to channel 7 for example) 5 times. Be sure 100% rates are set for that procedure.

@@shanesdiy Thanks...first for taking the time to answer and second for all you do to help us ! I followed your instructions in this video exactly and it works on SE but just the two positions work like I said..which is fine. Now if you can help me figure out why the radiomaster constantly says "zero" all the time I would be golden lol

@@tpdmotor13 I just keeps saying a verbal "zero"? Is it random or at set intervals? Could be one of your timers is configured to call out the time and it is currently at "0:00"? I would also check your radios global functions or model special functions for any that say "Play Value" or something similar that might be set for this.

Are you losing control or just getting the telemetry alarm. If you are getting "telemtry lost" that is just Spektrums short range "fly-by telemetry". Go to the telemetry screen and check the "disable telemetry alarms" checkbox to ignore that. It doesn't have anything to do with control signal strength.

@@shanesdiy really? Ill try it. Thanks!

Yes sir. Now of you are actually losing control of the plane that is another story but if it is just the verbal message this will fix it.

@@shanesdiy i haven't flown it yet but i eas getting the critical signal warning a lot. At just one Meter away from the plane.

At only 1 meter away is strange. Be sure to do a proper range test before you fly it. Turn on range test mode and walk about 30 meters away. Have someone watch the plane while you are away so they can see if the controls are responding.

Sorry to hear of your struggles! I'll do my best to help. Can you first detail what hardware and software you are working with? Assume TX16S but Mk1 or Mk2? What version of EdgeTX are you on? What version of the DSM scripts have you put in the radio? What airplane and receiver model? If you know how to zip the contents of your SD card, do that and email me the file. I can review them for issues. Could upload the file to Google Drive and send me the link if the file is too big to email. Don't give up hope!

@@shanesdiy Thanks Shane, mail sent, hope my drop box link works, been a awhile since I’ve used it.
