12 years ago, I made this suggestion to Futaba...a video on "How to set up the transmitter". Futaba said "No". This is why I switched to Spektrum because it is more user friendly. Not trying to start a Ford vs Chevy argument...just saying what happened back then.

20+ years ago i was do or die futaba. Did NOT want spektrum! Started flying again with a dx6e. (Then nx6, nx8 & now nx10). Only reason i went spektrum cause HH planes included rx's. Now, 2ish yrs later, nx10 & AR620 rx's. I dont like ANY reciever that limits what im doing. (Point being, yesterday i removed the safe rx from my extra 300. It was impossible to hover. After putting my ar620 in, retrimming, on that same battery i was hovering 4" off the runway. Ill keep my dumb (spektrum! 👍) recievers!

I have one flap that wants to go one way and one flap that wants to go the other I've tried everything that I know to reverse one Servo certainly don't know what I'm doing wrong I just started using the nx8 and it is driving me bonkers. Love the channel by the way have learned a lot

I think you mentioned it, but F Mode Trim should really only be used with ailerons to compensate for any unevenness with the flaps. Any elevator adjustment I would make in the Flap system settings. That allows the flaps and elevator to move to the new position in sync, especially if the flaps are slowed down. If you do set it for all surfaces, just remember that they are separate. Easy to put in a little rudder trim in one mode expecting it to be there in all modes. You gave me the idea for using R Knob in a mix R Knob > ELE for adjusting the elevator to find best position for different flap configurations. I have expanded on that and have started using it on planes without flaps. Allows me to dial in up elevator. I can reduce throttle and increase up elevator to find a nice slow speed while holding altitude. I can slowly reduce throttle from there and can get the smoothest landings. On the NX10, other than obvious things, color screen, wifi updates, etc., have you found anything that really makes it worth upgrading? Currently with DX8G2. Sliders might be nice instead of using the knob for doing some of these mixes. How easy are they to control with any precision? I have the InterLink controller with RealFlight. They are pretty difficult to control effectively.

I always wanted the nx10, even when it had bad reviews on horizon. This past Christmas, i got it as MY Christmas gift to ME! I came from the nx8. Aside from the usual, full bearing gimbals, (smooooooothness & accuracy is unbelievable compared to my old nx8 & everything ive had before 🤯👍). I honestly wanted mine. Id jump all over a new iX12, but! HH has a new NX10se. Save that extra $250 & get yourself another plane 🤷. Only difference is orange bling u can buy on Amazon for $30 + grips, another $30 & a foam case ($50.00 at HH). DONT SCRIMP on tx case!!! Get something metal to protect your $500+ investment! Im the 1 everybody at the field gets to setup THEIR tx's to their new planes, maiden them, & somehow im the only one who was unofficially 'elected' to train new pilots that's never had a plane tx in their hands🤷🤯! My best buddy got my nx8 after i got my 10. He loves it. He loves mine a lot more. Just the feel of it & accuracy of everything.

Yes i mentioned only really trim needs to be done is roll for uneven flaps. Also talk about the instant change in flight mode compared to flap/elevator mix. Video i made awhile back talking about using L/R trim (NX8 and NX10) in flight and then transferring to flap system, is same thing and i prefer that as well. Oh yeah that works implemented the knob.I think we talked about that and good stuff too :) NX is the way to go over DX if funds allowed. Sometimes when im helping others it makes me think about how much i like using NX all around. Sliders have notches so can be controlled fairly well but not as smooth or linear as the dial. Using NX on RF is a plus as well.You get same feel/muscle memory from Sim to Flying Field.

I set my spoken flight modes so that it displays what the voice says, e.g., "Flaps Up", "Takeoff Flaps", and "Landing Flaps". If you want to clear the displayed phrase, leave the cursor on the first letter and press the Clear button. Now you need to do a video showing how to create a custom category named "BD Tennessee" and put the phrases in it that you use the most often. Then you wouldn't have to scroll all over the place looking for what you want it to say.

Hi BD .As usual you have great How To videos !!! Question.....would you recommend using this method over the "Elevator / Flap Mix on the Fly" video ? which one gives you the best results> thanks!

@BDTennessee

Hey Aiden, i prefer the "Elevator / Flap Mix on the Fly" method. Allows for a smooth elevator transition with the flaps. Both adjust at the same speed. Flight modes cause a instant change. Also keeps all flap related values in the flap system menu...

hey bro, love ur vids they have helped me so much in my rc journey. was wandering if you can shed light on aquestion i have. why does when selecting flight modes do you have to select switches in a particular order, the other day i was setting up my corsair and i had switch a,d and h for flight modes, if i put it in a,d,h i could only access i think it was 7 modes but then if i did d first it would allow 10 modes, just thought it was weird as there all the same switches, also the next screen only had the limioted boxes on the first configoration, just thought it was weird. any light would be appreciated bd. thanks for your information

Just seen your other video on flight modes, and you're a genius . I think it has sunk in. What you've done on this video, will it work in conjunction with the flap systems ? In other words my flaps are on switch F. Can I still put flight modes on switch F as well? Would love to set the trim in flight rather than static in flap systems

Have yet to find anyone on KZread to clearly say in 1 sentence what a flight mode is. On my DX6e I have assigned switches to do clever mixes. I have used the flap system to give a tad of down with the flaps - but I still haven't used a flight mode. What am I missing? Is a flight mode a combination of instructions like, throw a switch and bomb doors open as flaps deployed with a hand full of up trim? If just 1 instruction, stick with a switch? Help

Flight mode for model (radio flight modes)allows separate trims tied to a switch.

Hi BD. I know you are very busy answering questions and everything else. I have a question if you could answer at your conveinece. I am using the NX8 TX and I set it up as you described. D/R 100%, 85%, 70% etc, etc. I set up my own airplanes with your settings. Aeroscout and a P51 in my TX. I'm using the RF 9.5s simulator. So if i select a 300 or Thunderbolt and I would have to use my P51 model to select on the NX8, what parameters am I using? The plane from the RF simulator or the P51 NX8 . They do handle differently.the 300 rolls way faster than the P51. Just want to know how the 300 is going to react out at the airfield. Hope I got that through. Confusses me looking at it. LOL Thanks for looking and no hurry, Others may be interested in this question also. Merry Chistmas and Happy New Year. Jack Currier

If your airplane rolls or yaws when you extend the flaps you have bigger problems than trim.

When the flap servos are on a Y-harness, there’s no way to adjust out any differences in their movement. And it’s not that it rolls; it just doesn’t fly perfectly straight. There’s nothing wrong with using a bit of aileron trim to compensate for a slight difference in the flaps. I’ve never had to use it for yaw. I like using f-mode trim for the elevator because I can adjust it in the air, unlike the mix in the flap system menu where you have to use trial and error. Also, I adjust my linkages so that my trims are as close to center as possible. If your trims aren’t centered, neither are your servos.
