Building and binding mine tonight and your videos so helped me. I like the long-form videos! The camera crew does a great job too!

[@wades5thscaleforlife872]

Just bought the plane hope to get my kids involved

[@Kioegaming]

The nx7e looks sharp , will have to order one today 😊

Been using a DX8 G2 tx for years and its been 100% reliable. Was considering a NX8, but the DX8 G2 does most everything the NX8 does, the only difference is the color screen but never pulled the trigger.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You would be crazy to upgrade from a DX8 to an NX8... not nearly enough value there. If you're wanting to upgrade, I would highly recommend the NX10 or even the iX lineup. The extra channels are coming in helpful with the way AS3X is setup now.

Hey Brian I’m new to flying and just picked up a nx7e, trying to set up a sport cub s2 and cannot get panic to work and beginner mode sends elevator servo into a frenzy and have to back it down to 50% . I’m new to all this and stumped!

[@jeremyheaslip1335]

I got it figured out everything works as it should now.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

sorry I missed your question, but so glad you got it figured out - Happy flying!!!

[@barryhansell3721]

Hi Brian, the aileron and elevator servo's were jerky on my Apprentice, is it because they are digital?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I noticed that too, but haven't noticed an issue in flight. I believe it has to do with the way the flight controller works. If you are still in doubt, hook up a servo to an XBC battery checker and see if the sweep is smooth.

[@will_how]

Not going to lie, that radio's interface looks like a stone tablet, compared to my TX16s running EdgeTx.😅 They're the same price right?

[@old-rcplane-phart]

🤷‍♂️, I'll continue using my Radiomaster tx16s max 2.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Go for it!

[@drewlatta1979]

I am so confused… flaps? The plane looks to have only two control surfaces on the wing. To add flaps wouldn’t you need to install two more servos and cut the ailerons into a flap? Isn’t what you are trying to do is program flaperons? (But I admit I am not an expert.)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Flaps would be inboard and do not come on the Apprentice. They could be added, but it would require a pretty significant amount of modification. Flaperons are when the outboard aileron also acts as flaps. Sometimes flapperons are full length ailerons, it just depends on the airplane. Watching our videos will help to clear up some of your questions. Everybody has to start somewhere.

[@spookyduck9202]

​@@BrianPhillipsRCI have the NX7e+ (14 channels currently). How would I configure the flapperons? It sounds like it would make this plane fly super-slow.... Alternatively, could you not set up the flapperons using the F-MODE functionality somehow?

[@chrisfetner332]

Just go straight to ix10 or ix12.

[@BrGoBu]

So you don't believe in the GPS and say no need for it. You are doing a big disservice to those of us that could use that technology for the extra assurance should we get into trouble while flying. Yeah, yeah...I know, you say this plane is very stable and doesn't need it. NOPE,, some of us need it!
