DLG Radio Setup on the Spektrum iX20

[@ArmSoar]

What radio are you guys using to fly DLGs?

[@王逸飞-c6b]

jeti ds12pro

[@ArmSoar]

@@王逸飞-c6b sweet radio!!

[@王逸飞-c6b]

@@ArmSoar I bought two BAMF2 and received them immediately. So I hope you can do a setup video for Jeti

[@doversailplanes]

I use a RadioMaster TX16s running OpenTX.

[@factoryrollracing3847]

I'm also using a TX16S, I use the AD5.1 DLG program as a template which has most of these features built in.

[@Scott_Hudson]

Perfect timing! Received my Deviant a couple days ago, and will be using an iX20. Thanks for taking the time to put together this tutorial!

[@ArmSoar]

Good luck with the setup and maiden!! You’ll like the Deviant :D

[@michaelsell6928]

Clear as mud. Any videos for a total newbie? Like step by step, throws, etc.?

[@ArmSoar]

Throws and settings will depend on the model. This video is to show how the iX20 DLG template works and provide the template for download.

[@ianhu7981]

Nice video about DLG in KZbin. Hope more will coming up

[@ArmSoar]

More to come! Have a few more in the works already :)

[@84westy55]

If you could borrow a DX8 G2 and make the same video, I *promise* my first brand new DLG purchase will be from ArmSoar! It just does not translate backwards because the interface is so different.

[@bryankrause4090]

Thanks for the vid and your setup. I’ll try it on my ix12 and see how I go with my training dlg. I’m just starting out with dlg flying so all the help is really appreciated.

[@ArmSoar]

Welcome to the DLG family!!

[@scott9054]

will the ix20 file download and work on an ix12? Thanks

[@bryankrause4090]

It does, I have down loaded the file and checked onscreen and you can see everything working. I will now put a receiver into a plane and check it out.

[@scott9054]

@@bryankrause4090 thank you

[@bryankrause4090]

@@scott9054 it seams like the rudder is also working? Did you have that operational as I thought you said you had a non rudder dlg.

[@paulgross4789]

Excellent

[@ArmSoar]

Thank you Paul! Hope to see you in the air with the Deviant soon :D

🐨🌏 i was flying old style tx.from 1970. moved to dx9. now ix20. was a bit perplexed. but play with it . soon became fun..Keith Australia

[@ArmSoar]

Such a great radio... I love my iX20!

[@Dennis_le_Berger]

Thx for the tips

[@keithdouglass3618]

🐨🌏 well explained. happy with my ix20. Keith Australia

[@banko444]

Thomas, what are the 5 percentages you have set on your 5 point curve for your flap to elevator mixing? I’d like to match. Thanks!

[@ArmSoar]

You can use it as a starting point but it'll likely be slightly different than what you'll end up needed since each model is set up differently: 0.0% 18.0% 30.5% 40.0% 43.0%

[@banko444]

@@ArmSoar excellent Thomas thank you. I’ll start there and tweak it of course.

[@davidrubin22]

Thank you for the information...and thank you for the .ispm file. However, I cant figure out how you assigned flight mode switch 1, to speed B? Would you be willing to explain how you did that?? Thank you again in advance.

[@tariqyounus3880]

Hi dear do u have , same settings with radio master t16 ??? Any video which help for those who have radio master t16.

[@ArmSoar]

No, sorry

[@samgibson9153]

Hey Thomas. Getting into dlg and have spektrum DX8 gen2 . But can't seem to download your file. Is it still available? Finding your videos brilliant to help me along thank you

[@84westy55]

Previous generation transmitters can't use NX config files.

[@scott9054]

I have my brakes set on the throttle stick. The stick is all the way up but when I pull it back they dont start moving until I hit half throttle . Not sure where to fix that.I am using an ix12

[@ArmSoar]

In Camber Systems you'll need to set values Ail values for both the Up and Down boxes. I'm guessing you only have a value set for the Down box?

[@scott9054]

@@ArmSoar in camber systems I have -100 down. And 0 up. I tried playing with those numbers this morning and couldn't get it right. Ill try again later.

[@kniahaxel]

Alternative is to Set the offset in camber System to 100 or -100 when only using down Stick travel

[@MilesofBeard]

Would you ever do a x9d dlg set up from beginning to end. I have not found one person to demo it and i think the video would be very popular. I’m someone my self who has been completely stuck with a 1M that i have not been successful loading a model preset and be able to adjust it to work for my dlg. If i could afford a spectrum i would have and just followed this video because you have the best videos!

[@xtraflyer]

Is the template still available? the link doesn't work anymore.

[@scott9054]

will the ix20 file work if i download it to my ix12? Thanks

[@ArmSoar]

I haven’t tried that, but yes, it should work.

[@scott9054]

It worked. just a few tweaks here and there and im all set. Thanks again

[@IvanMacKenzie]

Basically impossible to "read along" on the radio screen. A lot of work I know, but an zoomed in inset would be helpful. 🤔

[@ArmSoar]

Thank you for the feedback! We’ll see how we can make the next ones easier to read along :)

[@mori-patte]

@@ArmSoar Totally agree with Ivan. Technically it's should be possible to mount lightweight camera (GoPro for example) on to transmitter using strap mount on transmitter and some kind of mount or lay transmitter straight and zoom in screen and button part of video.

[@ChrisForceFoodShow]

which battery pack is that?

[@ArmSoar]

Hi, that's a Turnigy Nanotech 650 mAh 1S pack. Unfortunately, it's discontinued.

[@pedrogodoycruz]

How can you set aileron travel limits? If you limit travel to have reasonable limits to the ailerons (+15mm, -10mm) it also limits the flap deflection. To have proper brakes, aileron down deflection during normal flying is way too much. I cannot find independent limits for aileron and flaps. NX10 and DX9. Both are the same.

[@ArmSoar]

You can use differential to adjust the aileron movement.

[@pedrogodoycruz]

@@ArmSoar thanks! Way simpler than my mixes flap-to-aileron that only sort of work. 30 years flying rc airplanes and still learning 😁

[@billcarney993]

Have the DX9, how do I get your ispm file loaded into the DX9

[@ArmSoar]

I think the DX9 needs spm files (no ispm support), although I could be wrong...

[@Abqman]

Thomas, I need help... I'm trying to set up my snipe with a new spectrum ix14. I'm pulling my hair out currently😂.

[@Danburdick-lm5xt]

you need to keep in mind not everyone uses spektrum

[@hoah]

Can someone please show us an optimum setup on a normal person radio? This is a 1400 dollar transmitter.

[@ArmSoar]

Sets up just the same as a $300 NX6, same menus just slightly different layout.

[@IllFlyIt]

@@ArmSoar my NX8 doesn’t have ele or flaps (ailerons) in the sequencer menu. Only have AUX1, AUX2, and GEAR. Still unable to get an answer from anywhere about how to get my sequencer to work to program a launch mode. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ArmSoar]

@@IllFlyIt Have you tried RC Groups -> Radios subforum? Andy from Spektrum spends a lot of time there answering questions.

[@84westy55]

Man, HH has jacked up the price by $300 in a year. It's now a $1,699 transmitter.

[@droneschillan1738]

The iX20 screen view is very poor
