Thanks Darren! this video helped me indirectly because I have a STOL plane with quite massive flaps that are set with a delay up and down to minimize the jump when deployed. I had the mix already programed but the flap to ele mix did no allow me to set the same delay on the elevator until I saw you using a free mix on it

thanks for the video, a bit more complicated then OpenTX/EdgeTX, video is well done but shows why they really need to bring out the edit ability on a companion app; this is fine for a couple of models but it's too much to program on the transmitter itself when you are converting from the previously mentioned EdgeTX

@MrD Жыл бұрын
This is not possible with flight modes at the moment. Flight modes can have their own trims. But you can’t choose how. For flaps, it would be ideal to base the elevator trim in a flap flight mode, on the elevator trim in the standard flight mode. Then any changes to regular trim would also be reflected in the flaps.

Hey Darren, thanks for your videos, well done, very helpful. Could you possibly make a video where you program a simple powered glider with rudder and elevator on the right stick, spoiler on the left stick and motor on the left side slider. Most videos I see are for power planes with ailerons and full house gliders which I also fly. I see you can change the mode of the sticks, but it changes them for all models not just the one you are programing. Thanks.

Wow. Ethos is way easier to use than edgetx. There is less to think about with the mixing. I use radiomaster and it's great but there is a lot of unnecessary work. Maybe they will do something about that in the future

Tutto molto bello e spiegato con precisione. Ma ho notato che il timone di profondità sale quando abbassi i flaps. La giusta posizione dovrebbe essere: flaps giù e profondità giù. Come bisogna fare per invertire il profondità? Grazie mille (scusami ma non so l'inglese)

You just need to reverse the weight of the elevator compensation.
@paulhemming5934 Жыл бұрын
Hi Darren. Shouldn't you have down elevator compensation.
@MrD Жыл бұрын
In all honesty, I've seen both. This is why I suggest starting without any compensation and gradually increasing it. With standard flaps, you should need up elevator. The flap control surfaces are behind the centre of rotation, so will push the nose down. However, if people are coming in too fast and drop the flaps, it can cause ballooning, which would require down elevator. Seeing what happens when the flaps are deployed at typical landing speeds, on a particular model is the best way to see what, if any, elevator compensation is needed.
@adrianmilanesi91438 ай бұрын
Hi there, I'm a little confuse I have a bush plane and when you activate the flaps the plane has the balloon effect so I need to give it elevator down compensation, but in your video you say it needs elevator up why? But anyway great video. Cheers
@jeffjackson6358 Жыл бұрын
Why not use flight modes to trim the elevator during flap deployment?
@MrD Жыл бұрын
Because current flight modes in ETHOS are an area that still needs work. Currently you can only have different trims per flight mode. You can’t specify if they are based on another flight mode’s trim. For example with the elevator compensation, the default flight mode will adjust the trim of the elevator. Then switch to the flap flight mode. If the trims are independent, it will be back to 0 trim and you need to adjust it for flaps down. But where they’re totally independent, if in the default flight mode you adjust the elevator again, it won’t be reflected in the flaps mode. In OpenTX, you could do this. The flaps mode could make the elevator trim in addition to the elevator trim of the default mode. Which makes everything so much better. Hopefully ETHOS will improve the flexibility and functionality of the flight modes soon.

It’s just regular encapsulating laminate, ironed on. The coloured parts are self adhesive, cut vinyl. This is the laminate I used. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303038800488 I used 75 micron thick, 457mm wide. The 75 micron thickness is the important part. The width is just how much you ca fit on with less length used. These rolls last for years though.

Hey Darren...How can I set up a beep or haptic in Ethos to activate when the throttle passes through 25 and 50% up or down? I trim all my planes at 50% and use 25% for landing approach on my EDF's. This is easily done on Spektrum but I can't figure it out on Ethos.....Thanks ( Rains are finally returning this weekend to the Pacific Nortwest so I will have a wet Fall and Winter to learn Ethos)

Too complicated. You can set the FLAP - ELEV mix using as input the FLAP channel. Doing that if the flap is slow, the elev mixing is slow. You can leave always on, or assign a switch with the voice "THS ON" that means Trimmable Horizontal stabilizer ON. As you prefer

Great video though I don't believe you want your elevator going up as you deploy your flaps in most instances as the majority of planes and gliders will pitch up ( see at 4 mins kzbin.info/www/bejne/roPKZoBvoLydiKs ) when flaps are deployed not down - might be worth putting a few bullet points on this at the relevant point so people check what happens to their actual aircraft when they deploy flaps or at least start from the norm

There is a note in the video description. I find that it depends on the plane and approach speed. Down elevator is needed if the plane balloons. But that doesn’t always happen.
