It’s odd that if I set max volts to 25.2 and min to 22.2, the esc thinks it’s a 7s pack and not a 6s pack. Annoying.

Great! Now I know how to program altitude or better vario for my first Glider. I think vario lets you know if your plane is sinking or gaining altitude. I will also program Voltage voice messages. It was annoying to look on the screen on the planes were I have Esc-telemetry… THANKS!

☠BLACK BARON☠1:28 I knocked it down to 4.1V still and still getting Warnings during flights ... 2:05 ... 7S Lipo ... I never understood that setting ...

@@wholenineyards7663 ☠BLACK BARON☠ This setting is meant to be the "Startup Voltage" when you put your fully charged RC Scale Helicopter on the ground for first takeoff and even before the motor is spooling up. Resetting my Spektrum Avian ESC controller helped to solve the many ESC warnings I had on my iX Airware screen during many test flights. Resetting the Spektrum Avian ESC to factory defaults and re-programming via Programmer Box V2 solved my issue. That's my opinion.

I do have a 11x7 prop available. Would that work also work? I found the flap servo connection was awfully short making it difficult to connect to the Y connect from the receiver so I added 6" extensions to them. Much easier then tied them off. There is not much room in there. I found the 4S 2200 a really tight fit so I will try a 4S 1800. I normally fly a 60-70% throttle leaving full throttle for low passes and verticals only. Have flown it on safe and all seemed well, then the winds picked up so I decided not to go back up.

Nice post Niner.. Year and half into the hobby here, with just 2 E-flite birds so far. Very "SAFE" type pilot that flies high inverted, barrel rolls, ect. Wanting to move up in the hobby now and get off Safe. Want to set EXP and such to help. I am gracefully AGING, and can't hear high pitch sounds well anymore. I use a voltage alarm in my T-28 but I can't hear the beeping!! The sound warnings on this DX8 seem very tough to understand. I haven't heard anything about the "vibrate" option of alarms on this model?? It would probably be my way to go.. I could set the desired low voltage warning and the DX8 could vibrate to tell me when it is reached?? I want the 8 channel option so I can grow in the hobby.. Main concern now and forever is the condition of my battery,, and when I should land the plane without draining my battery and damaging it.. or not having enough battery power remaining to make another landing pass if needed.. Thx in advance Nine.. ;)

I haven't been able to find any good reference information from Spektrum regarding the telemetry. I was using ESC voltage to ballpark my battery. Then I discovered Flight Pack. Then I remembered seeing something about Smart Battery (and again here) so I need to check for that. I had set a voltage alarm with the ESC but somehow lost it when I set other alarms. I tried to set it again with Flight Pack but I think other callouts might be overriding it. But it would be nice to know what is available on an aircraft. The Horizon site will often say that the telemetry does x and y and other telemetry data.
