My favorite setup item is this: Function -> Custom Voice Setup -> Custom Voice Events -> Add New Sound Event -> Switch Change Report -> Change Switch: Inhibit to the Bind I button -> On Pos 0: - click the roller button and do a short scroll to Time Remaining. You are done. Now any time you are flying you can push the "I" button and she will tell you how many minutes and seconds you have left. You can put time remaining on either switch position but you only want it on one position or you will get the time remaining announcement twice. Having Time Remaining on this switch will not interfere with the bind process.

I just stumbled across your site and I am so happy. I got an nx6 a year ago and have been unable to figure it out. I think I might be able to start getting somewhere now. Question. Is the nx6 setup much different from the nx10?

@BDTennessee

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Tom for joining the channel! NX6 setup is same as NX8 and NX10.

I always set the expo to a value that's 1/4 to 1/3 of whatever the rate is. If the rate is 100%, I set the expo to 25% or 33% depending on the size of the control surface. If the low rate is 60%, I'll set the expo to 15% or 20%. After some test flights to get the control surface throws adjusted, I then go back and tweak the expos for the feel I want around neutral.

@txkflier

@@BDTennessee Yeah, I watched most of that one, but stopped for some reason when you started showing how to move the stick to 20% and set the expo for the same output in each of the three rates. I've now watched the rest of it. You set the expo for the 100% rate to 35% which is just barely more than my 1/3 setting of 33%. I'm not sure what you used at 85%, but I think it was 20%. That's 1/4.25 which is really close to my 1/4th setting. And you used 15% for the 70% rate which is 1/4.67. I understand that you're wanting the same throw at 1/5 of the stick's movement. That's not very far on either side of neutral. I think if I were to use that method, I would match the throws at 25 or 33 percent of the stick travel. However, I'm not sure I could feel a 5% difference in expo at a rate of 70% or a difference of 10% expo at a rate of 100%. I generally want at least 15% expo and no more than 35%. Every plane I have is different, especially for the rates. There is no one-size-fits-all. Expo is a very subjective thing and everybody is different. I just divide the rate by 3 or 4 and enter the value. Sometimes I tweak it based on the way it feels, but most times I never change it.

Hi How come your NX 10 has a different program to my nx8 for up loading planes/Heli ,on mine there are boxes with each letter/number and I find it quite hard to wright any thing in, unlike yours were you can delete numbers and letters easy. Try putting the name of a plane on a NX8 or NX6 it is not like your NX10 Eddie

Eddie, im using the stock template in this video. If you have dark scheme,its Legacy Template. Recent update cause the letter to have issues showing up with Legacy Pallette. Change to a different pallette and issues will be solved.

Hi BD, I like your style of explaining things about the NX10, Ive just bought mine, do you have a video on setting up Airbrakes (spoilers) on a motor glider? I'm trying to do this, and Ive spent 2 days trying to get it ... My plane is the AVA PRO, which has no ailerons. It has RES system for Rudd and Ele, and motor on the front. No ailerons, just airbrakes, one for each wing, I need to know how to set the airbrakes up. Thank you anyway. Paul.

@BDTennessee

Жыл бұрын

Airbrakes have there own channel?

If you do the BNF everything is put on one switch which is switch C. The correct way would be C switch is elevator, switch F is aileron, and switch G is rudder. But you could still do the BNF and then put the set up on different switches. I don't understand the Template, I could not find anything about a Template in the manual.

@BDTennessee

Жыл бұрын

Correct,thats standard labeling for Spektrum switches. Template sets radio like book setup by clicking on the model. So i made this video to start without a base setup.

Great tutorial, I have to disagree about the flap switch setup, I'm a full scale pilot and have flown many different type of aircraft and in all these aircraft the flap switch whether it be manual or electric always starts with o degree of flaps in the up position and progresses downward to 45 degrees unless your in a Bush plane, those guys go nuts with their settings. In the end I guess it's what ever you feel comfortable with....

@BDTennessee

3 жыл бұрын

100% or -100% (Pos 0 flaps up)depending on the receiver is 0 degrees of flaps. Numbers are percentages not degrees. Airplane owners manual will give rates of percentages or mm of deflection and you adjust accordingly. If the book doesnt have recommended starting points then i use 15* half and 30* full or 20* half and 40* full. Side note:values i was using for video purposes were generic numbers however i have seen some use those percentages.

The message reads - ESC: 8.1V 0.0 A 32.OF Also, when I disconnect the plane battery another Warning shows - ESC: 655.4V 655.5A -----F I can use the clear button on the NX8 which gets rid of the messages and takes me to the main window.

One of them at 2, now 3, has always been fascinated with aircraft. I'm a Ham radio operator and have them listing to aircraft and the international space station. I understand now about the battery being removed and the warning of low voltage. Confused on the Warning coming in after plugging in the battery where it shows 8.1V. I started with a charged battery or at least almost charged battery so what is the minimum start voltage and is there a way to lower it on the NX8 so the warning doesnt come on from say 8.0 volts on up?
