Esky F150 V2 Micro RC Airwolf Update - Fixing a common problem.

[@JohnRSippy]

There's that Bernouli effect while flying near the ceiling! ;)

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Yep.

[@Graham_Shaw]

Being new to OpenTx radios, that I bought, at least in part to deal with the deadband on the OMP M1 and M2 helis, this has been a great help as I wasn't sure how to apply the DB curve to Aileron, Elevator and Rudder. Thanks for the Tip's John👍

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Hope it works for your setup as well.

[@michaeljulius5895]

Thanks John, nice video. I also got my Blade 70S to bind to my Radiomaster using the Esky 150 V2 protocol

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Yep, good point. The 70S is a rebadged 150 V2.

[@kirkhill9239]

Thanks John. You got me dust off my F150.

[@Rchelicopterfun]

👍🙂

[@TheRealOzWookiee]

Hey so this is a blast from the past as I bought that little F150 from your review video originally and now I find that I'm looking to get a RadioMaster TX16S and what do I find but your video linking the two! :D

[@emmettrowe5164]

Excellent demonstration and review..from new subscriber Emmett..👍👍👍👍👍

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Thanks for the sub!

[@RaynerGS]

Good Job! Thanks a lot! Salute from Brazil.

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Thank you too 🙂

[@jefflucas_life]

i’m sad, only owned for a week and was carried off in the wind, lost. the controller was stuck full throttle up.

[@SemteVruchte]

Nice use of the OpenTX software! I'm still amazed at how much OpenTX has to offer, while I'm already very familiar with this hobby and TX, and still find new ways to solve problems everyday. You mentioned in the video that you got a general heli model for your Radiomaster, would you mind sharing it? I'm very curious how you utilize OpenTX to fly heli's, as that is my main aircraft-type I fly.

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Actually OpenTX is not the only computerized radio OS system that allows output configurations like this - most of the higher end computerized radios allow it as well (Spektrum being the one example I can think of however that can't). Regardless, you are 100% correct in the configuration power of OpenTX; as I often say "if you can think it, OpenTX can likely do it." 🙂 As for my OpenTX base helicopter foundation, I use the one explained in OpenTX University's website in their helicopter section. OTXU is one of the most important websites around IMO if you are an OpenTX user - it's the only source I've ever used - clear, concise, logical, no BS. I do show my base heli setup in several videos, but this one goes into the most detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKvYaqur9Skhbc Again, that is based on OpenTX University's heli outline. And then of course setup each individual helicopter setup is based 100% on what I cover in my collective pitch setup eBook: www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-helicopter-tips.html

[@SemteVruchte]

​@@Rchelicopterfun I totally agree, I used a lot of different radiosystems in the last 10 years, but OpenTX is far superior in my opinion. Thanks for the link to your video, I missed that one in my subscriptions, I'm always curious how people use OpenTX, I will have a look and perhaps change some of my models ;)

[@ifly65]

Wow look at that radio. Just like my Cirrus '78 lol. I get my 16s Max in Gold this week and I blame you 100%. Im watching how you did your dead band. Can you tell me the numbers you used for the M2 dead band? Where did you get your cool voice package?

[@Rchelicopterfun]

I just played with the numbers until I liked the feel. About 12% is where I like it on the M2 because I do want some dead band. Amber voice pack from OpenTX university.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Also when i start the heli , i move the Throttle stick to the lower right.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Is your rate switch a 2 position and also i see you have dual rates. Does it need it

[@hfroehli]

Very informative! John, I have an older Eflite Blade MSR fixed pitch micro I am unable to get working correctly with the TX16S. You wouldn't by chance have one lying around you could help me get working correctly?

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Sorry, I don't have my msr anymore.

[@hfroehli]

@@Rchelicopterfun can you make any recommendations of where to get a start on this? Maybe the OpenTX University? (I haven't checked that out yet)

[@Rchelicopterfun]

I always recommend OpenTX U to everyone new to OpenTX. That site is what made it possible for me when I was totally lost after making the switch from JR to OpenTX.

[@snekmeseht]

I've been thinking about buying an RC RTF Heli to fly (sedately) around my living like you did in this video. I've been thinking about this for over a year. But, nobody seems to test and report on this type of heli. It's important to me to have at least 6 channel control, because working the radio controls is most of the fun. I don't want to mess with computerized radio. I don't want counter rotating blades. I don't care about acrobatic flying at all. Any recommendations?

[@Rchelicopterfun]

Why 6 channel (collective pitch) for flying around sedately indoors? By those two base requirements, sounds like you are more in the market for a tame little easy to fly fixed pitch heli like the ESky 150 V2 (the pod & boom version of this scale Bell 222), or the Blade 70S (a rebadged Esky 150 V2). If you want 6 channel (collective pitch), then you must mess with a computerized radio. You need a computerized radio if you want to correctly setup any modern day collective pitch RC helicopter to alter its performance to suite your skill level, flying style, and even flying environment. You are wasting your time & money otherwise. These two pages on my website cover all this in much more detail: Best RC Helicopter - www.rchelicopterfun.com/best-rc-helicopter.html Best RC Helicopter for beginners - www.rchelicopterfun.com/helicopter-for-kids.html

[@acworxtv4148]

Hi can you make video using jumper t16 open tx because I have that remote but I don't know on how to bind it for trex 500 helicopter

[@Rchelicopterfun]

The operation of OpenTX is identical for all OpenTX radios.

[@DefendYourGains]

Is there a way to import this in to the controller?

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

I can't get ch 5 to change rates

[@PuDigY]

What is the maximum range?

[@trungdzip6586]

Hi, can you help me? i want to bind esky 150 v2 with open tx T-lite, but i can't do it, can you show me, thanks

[@Rchelicopterfun]

I don't know a thing about the T-Lite so not even sure if it can be done. If the T-lite has the full function multi-protocol module, then it should be possible but you need to ensure you are running the most up to date version of Multi-Module firmware. Only the latest versions support Esky's unique F150 & 150 V2 protocol.

[@trungdzip6586]

@@Rchelicopterfun my t-lite has updated to the last version, supports esky v2 and 150v2, but i still can't bind, do you have facebook, can i ask you, thanks. I have 1 tx jumper t8sg plus v2, is there any way to bind it?
