EdgeTX Alternative “Safe” Throttle for RC Planes & Cars

[@neiloxley7904]

Bill thank you for your efforts i have finally found the frsky v on the tx 12 and i have successfully done the binding . I am using this in a three channel glider so i will be disconnecting the aeloron lead from the receiver and replacing it with the rudder lead i am using mode1 so rudder and throttle right hand elevator left see how i go thanks again

You are very welcome and good luck Neil.

Hi my model is not the EU model. You did a video on the original TX12 fine tuning fr sky receivers. In that video you were using fr sky V8 receivers I have three of these V8 receivers I was hoping to use. I hope I can find a way of using these. But it seems it only lists D8 under fr sky in mk2

Hi Bill on this video on special functions do you have to tick each box on the last line you didn't tick the box ? I have been having a problem with motor running flat out when I disarm. When I switch to arm the throttle works as it should.

[@tonkokx3737]

You have to warm to check the box by special settings of you forget that the switch wil do strange things

Thanks for that.

Hi Bill I have frisky V8 receivers but it seems the radio master tx12 mk2 doesn't list them it lists d16 and others. The V8 receivers were listed on the original tx12. I also have E-fly 6 channel receiver I don't know whether I can use that either?

Hi Neil, I have just checked my external Multi Protocol Module attached to my Boxer and it has FrSky D subtype D8. You may have the EU firmware which D8 as far as I understand is not available.

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Neil, check all the FrSky protocols and the sub types it should be there. Have you done any firmware updates?

I'm just a slow Old Fart as you know Bill - but, at 3.50, do you not need to check the box at the right end of the line to activate that line?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@theoztreecrasher2647 no it works either way. You’re not slow just looking at all the possibilities. 😃

I am trying to set up tx12 mk2 edge tx mpm. I have been watching you old video on setting mk1 version setting up for normal plane use. There are differences eg wizard etc. Do i have to set up safety switches everytime i introduce another model plane or would they simply swap over. Have you done a video on setting up the tx12 mk2. Edge tx?

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Neil, if you set up a model with a safe throttle, which is advisable, you can just copy that model to another model number and modify it if necessary for your new model. Check my EdgeTX playlist. If you need further help let me know.

@@the-happy-RC-flyer thanks for your reply I am 74 yrs old and not very computer minded. So setting things up for me is a battle. Your videos are very helpful that's why I was hoping you had done a video on the tx12 mk2 edge tx. I have watched the set ups on boxer and tx16 are they the same ?. I am also trying to set it up for a powered glider without the aelorons so it's only three channel but not sure what to do I tried to use wizard I click on plane but doesn't have provision for no aeloron. I am a bit lost I think I will have to delete what I have done and start again. Oh well it only took me four hrs hopefully this time I will be quicker I will use the method for safety switch shown in this video thanks again

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

Hi Neil, you are never too old to learn new things I should know 😊With your three channel glider set up a standard model. Assuming your radios channel mapping is AETR plug your rudder servo into channel 1 as this is your primary steering channel. Do not plug the rudder into channel 4. EdgeTX is the same on all radios but different in terms of switch layouts and colour screens etc so can look different when programming. This is why I produce videos for the different radios. Any further help let me know.

[@neiloxley7904]

I am a new member of a flying club undergoing training. Using mode 1 right hand throttle and aeloron and left hand rudder and elevator. What you are suggesting for three channel glider would make throttle and rudder on right and only elevator on left hand side. I can see how this would work in my case. Thank you for your help much appreciated

[@the-happy-RC-flyer]

@@neiloxley7904 Hi Neil, if you are flying mode 1 as I do right gimbal throttle and aileron, left gimbal elevator and rudder but because you will be steering your glider with rudder only you use the aileron gimbal. You instructor should advise you to do this.
