ETHOS: A quick tour and look at how it works..

[@kirbywilson5737]

i just bought the x18 I am loving it so far.i have had a few problems.thank for your vido on ethos

[@UncleFesterUK]

Great vid as usual :) throttle cut is there and simple to add, go to mixer tab, click and hold throttle tab, click edit, scroll to throttle cut tab and press it, choose active condition, normally i click SF switch once and move it back, then click return, until out of the menu and that's it set .

[@Painless360]

My point is that they should be in the wizards. Videos showing setups of these ,missing pieces coming soon...

[@MrGirwin1123]

I got the xjt lite for my tandem x18. I was able to bind to my jumper receivers and ver1 frsky receivers. Yahoooooo

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty interesting system indeed, Lee! Great video! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@philiplewis957]

Now (as of mid August) the latest Ethos is .3.0 which did address a number of the points raised in this video (such as a pre programmed throttle cut), it was released last month so hopefully even more on the way shortly.

[@Painless360]

Indeed, see notes in video and video description. I'm feeding back all of my findings and, so far, they appear to be listening...

[@Brian-om2hh]

This looks like a good package. I may well look into one of these if a change radio brand next year. I'm not too far from T9 Hobbysport in Bradford, so I may go and take a look.....

[@Petriefied0246]

I'd like to see one of these come with a "surface mode" because I also drive my RC cars with my x-lite.

[@baggszilla]

Looks good so far. Thanks

[@joshmellon390]

Could you do a video about how to set up ELRS on this thing? I'm having a hard time figuring it out myself.

[@gerryherman7420]

Thanks!

[@trcjr4030]

Can u show how to setup voice call outs when changing a switch like low med and high rates

[@joethestack3894]

Looks nice. Does FrSky provide a user manual? Or do you have to learn it by watching youtube videos?

[@Painless360]

No manual as such... Happy flying

[@malte9999]

The Ethos way of setting up models should be added to EdgeTX, as an option, when creating a model. Like a simple mode, that is similar to the Ethos workflow and an advanced mode where you get more or less what you have now. Then new users would have a much easier learning curve.

[@Painless360]

That is what EdgeTX is looking at. See my video on it... happy flying!

[@KramesTV]

hello, I just bought an x20s and on throttle I don’t have the weight / rate function… and I can’t setup the servo for my glow rc plane… what I am doing wrong???

[@Painless360]

Probably nothing. ETHOS is still an evolving operating system. What is it that you need specifically? Using trims or curves may be the annswer...

[@alwaysflying6540]

Do prefer this radio or the Radiomaster tx16s

[@Painless360]

For me, I prefer the openness of the RadioMaster. But, ETHOS is very good at complex fixed wing setups.. Happy flying

[@winstonsmith7801]

How visible is the screen in sunlight ?

[@Painless360]

Pretty good...

[@winstonsmith7801]

@@Painless360 Nice to know , Thanks.

[@VladTepes44]

Arming / motor disable switch should be standard on any RC build, Multi or Fixed wing. 🤔

[@Painless360]

Agreed, so should questions for expo and some other stuff too. I hope they improve soon...

[@johnfaustus1]

What would you say is the main benefit for ETHOS vs EdgeTX?

[@Painless360]

Simplicity.

[@jeffatkins8103]

Being a new operating system, would this support INAV?

[@Painless360]

Yes. Nothing special about an INAV radio setup.

[@blackbarett6632]

Seems like a capable OS indeed! Sure hardcore OpenTX users won’t be impressed, but there are others as well..

[@Painless360]

As most pilots that I know only use about 5-10% of OpenTX and EdgeTX (with quad pilots using a lot less) then most of the stuff the majority of pilots use is already here. For those who use more (LUA scripts, advanced setups, glider fixed wing mixes and nore) they are not here yet..

[@blackbarett6632]

@@Painless360 agreed! I only used OpenTX because it’s „the way to go“… Only thing I would miss is my INav LUA script 😅

[@sarahdaviscc]

Almost like early iOS vs early Android.

[@MrMartinRome]

Hi Lee, so this radio does not support FrSky's old protocols?

[@Painless360]

No ACCST v1 support Internally. You can add an XJT module in the back. I struggle to understand why 3rd parties like the multiprotocol modules can offer this ability but Frsky themselves will not...

[@MrMartinRome]

@@Painless360 If this radio had CRSF and ACCST compatibility I would consider it. No interest in its current configuration. Something you can feedback to FrSky. I do like their hardware, but not like this.

[@Painless360]

Both are coming... I'll cover how soon. Stay tuned!

[@enriquekramer4590]

Is there an easy way to set rates?

[@Painless360]

That is a great idea for a quick video!

[@4.094]

If these model can display the flight will be perfect cause I don't like to where goggle.

[@Painless360]

Can you explain a little more? It is not clear what you are asking...

[@4.094]

@@Painless360 i mean if it can be like dji smart controller with display

Time will tell as at the moment it cant run the INAV LUA Script or show a live FPV feed.

[@jwtfpv8957]

I know it's heresy to say but EdgeTX/OpenTX is not for everyone.

[@Painless360]

I have lots of pilot's (including a few Patreons) who couldn't get to grips with OpenTX or EdgeTX. No good if you cant use you new powerful radio. EdgeTX is working on making the interface easier to use but some just want to fly, not spend hours trying to setup a radio model. Happy flying!

[@robertrouleau1000]

@@Painless360 Amen!!!

[@nandakoryaaa]

Making such screen is a total waste without having FPV monitor on it. I'm still waiting for something like TBS Tango to show up.

[@Painless360]

Stay tuned... ;)

[@philiplewis957]

Then you need to look at the X20S HD which has what you want.

[@nandakoryaaa]

@@philiplewis957 is it HD only?
