For those asking about how to bind this model, check out the instructions in the manual. Page 20... this video is NOT a replacement for reading the manual. goo-sky.com/DownLoad/127302.html Happy flying

[@yakacm]

Instead of Goosky making a manual on how to setup for each radio, you'd have thunk they'd just saved a preset. Saying that each time I download something from their site, my browser does it's nut, saying the website is insecure. Don't know what they have to be insecure about, they make great products 🤔

[@ApappieK]

Thanks. This helps a lot for a beginner. The paper manual is much less useful.

[@rambo_flight__ken9791]

Thanks for your straightforward approach. A few minor notes: 1:23 - reverse channels A&R (you said A&E, slide is correct) 3:40 - Flight Modes (I recommend turning all trims off on FM0, since we shouldn’t be using them with the flybarless setup).

[@Painless360]

Great comments, please make content and share your know-how. The more of us do it, the easier it is for the next pilot.. Happy flying!

[@MrDLRu]

This will be my first heli once it gets here...Why no trims with flybarless setup?

[@Painless360]

Same reason as when using any other flight controller. The FC will see 1500 as no input and if start messing with trims then you get into trouble. Happy flying

[@zmanphx]

@@MrDLRu A helicopter must be mechanically setup to be neutral at hands off hover, flybarless or flybar. Like taking your hands of car steering wheel while driving, the car should steer straight. I never used trim.

[@kajuta240]

Why reverse the A/R channels? I tried this in the simulator and it doesn't feel like a natural way to pitch at all. I can get over reversed Rudder by focusing on the tail instead of the nose, but Aileron as well? Please explain.

[@ChrissiRC]

Hi, is it a fcc or a lbt version of the radiomaster? Thanks

[@Painless360]

Shouldn't make a difference... Happy flying

[@Nico--]

Is your S1 biased towards positive pitch? I set up my TX16s with 2-point pitch curves from -100 to 100 and when I have the stick on my TX16S in the middle, the pitch on the heli is already positive. Overall I have more positive pitch than negative. Is it the same with yours? I saw only one other person mention this in a discord channel. The only way to have neutral pitch in the middle of the stick is to change the pitch settings in the Goosky App drastically. I need to set the middle pitch to the lowest optiont in the app. But this means that my highest possible pitch on the heli has to be lower than it is now. Thanks in advance!

[@Painless360]

From what I recall, I did look at the blades for zero pitch on the radio and it was neutral. Most setups allow you to tweak the pitch curve on the radio to tweak it to be how you want.. Best of luck!

[@soy_leche]

Great timing but any chance you'd do this with the Boxer or the non touch edgeTX? I'm finding some of these thing but others are hidden or I'm missing them.

[@Painless360]

Which bits are you missing?

[@bennn1976ify]

Thanks for this, just bought an edge tx radio and S1 recently. I'm coming from years of Spektrum and this helped wrap my head around the Edge Tx somewhat. Question though, I'd like to have a "landing" pitch curve on a separate switch from the idle up 3 position switch I use for headspeeds. I'd like to set up the linear pitch curve -100 to 100 to my flight modes but have a switch that overrides the linear and goes to my landing pitch curve like you have your curve set in normal mode. How could I do that? Specifically, on the tx16s I want all 3 positions of SE to have the same pitch curve and have SG up to switch to my landing pitch curve. Thanks

[@Painless360]

You can assign any switches you want to the different curves. You can setup more than the few shown and use the same method to switch between them. Best of luck!

[@waynehuntingford108]

Hello all Heli freaks ... I'm a total beginner and have a omphobby m1 and m1 evo ... I recently bought a Radiomaster tx16s mark ii ... Can I use or program it to fly my omphobby's without extra receivers?

If it's a multiprotocol version of the radio, or you plug in a multiprotocol module into the back. All setup covered in the video

Thanks a bunch for the tutorial, Lee! 😃 Looks pretty complicated indeed! 😬 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

[@stran92129]

for those asking on binding, press bind on radio and press the bind button on the s1 located on the right hand side three times. i was also stuck as this step was passed over.

[@Painless360]

All covered on page 5 of the manual... www.goo-sky.com/DownLoad/95449.html?a=download

[@johncgibson4720]

Thumbs up. More people should care about small helicopters for their natural high endurance of flight time. I modified my 230s to become a FPV helicopter at 249 grams and HD onboard video recording that flips/dives/snaps with 35 minutes of flight time per charge. No quads under 250 grams can ever beat that, not even professionally designed DJI. They either have to change a battery and going over 250 grams, or they have to turn off HD video and turn off FPV and navigation and make the drone fly in a circle at constant speed to get that advertised 35 minutes per charge, and even then, they can't flip/dive/snap.

[@Painless360]

Indeed, more blades = more losses. Happy flying!

[@IRBry]

braaahhh i’ve been trying to find information on that!! i have bigger helicopters as well as yours, any advice? any place i can search and learn more? or just look up fpv drone stuff and strap to helicopter?!

[@DimsimFPV]

Hey mate I am new and probs missing somthing I have got it flying but I don’t seem to have negative thr I can fly just not inverted it’s not safe mode or anything like that I was wondering if you have any idea or help ☺️

[@Painless360]

There isn't negative throttle, only negative pitch. You'll usually a mode with a flat throttle 'curve' and as much negative pitch as positive... best of luck

[@MLeditsofficial]

Can I just bind the heli and fly instead of doing any curves and configuration

[@Painless360]

Always check the manual if you are not sure... Happy flying

[@remotecontrolledmedia]

can I use both versions of the tx16s? 4in1 or elrs

[@Painless360]

You need a 4IN1 if you Wang to bind to non ExpressLRS receivers... Happy flying!

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

I used spektrum radio on my s1 with a $20 satellite receiver, all I had to do was load a bnf helicopter template, bind the heli, then change the throttle curve % numbers. Wanted to see the process with radio master aswell tho

[@nickarganbright7218]

I plan on using this for my goosky s1 and s2, just got it in fact and am waiting for the battery to charge. I am completely new to programming them and was just curious if these settings would work for the s2 also? I can't seem to find any videos on programming the s2.

[@matikrk7185]

Can you solve the problem with sbus? I have a boxer elrs with goosky s1 with elrs lite. I did the configuration as you showed in your video. additionally, I changed the packet rate to 333Hz, Switch Mode to 8ch and other things in lua script also correctly according to the guides, In the receiver options I chose protocol and choose SBUS. finally, when I arm it, the throttle does not work (or it is armed, but it is configured correctly)

[@Painless360]

Watch out for CH5, depending on the mode it only acts as a binary channel and that doesn't work when the stabiliser wants CH5 to 'do' something..

[@AlexBongRCFunLand]

Thx for the video! I'm using Radiokig TX18S. EdgeTX. on the MIxed ch6 my setting does not have the '!' infront SE for Pi2, is that correct or any issue?

[@Painless360]

Yes, you need that exclamation mark. It'll be in the list of options, scroll the other direction in the list of switch positions... Best of luck

[@arthurdelatorre8751]

Lee, I set up my curves the same as yours but what I can't figure out is when I add it to my throttle the mix its inverted, on channel 3 with the throttle at the lowest position, the output starts out at 20% and goes to -100 % moving the stick upwards istead of the way I set up the curve to go from -100% to 20% like yours, in fact all the curves are opposit, any idea why this is happening? my radio is a tx16s 2 with edgetx v1.3.3.20 aetr, mode 2 hope you can help! Art

[@Painless360]

Make sure you've not selected the curves with an exclamation mark in fronI. Best of luck

[@johnoseman572]

Another excellent video, Lee, resulting in me spending more money!🤨 I have been setting up my new heli and am curious as to how you chose your throttle curve settings. Did you convert the values given in the Goosky manual in some way, or are your numbers the result of flight testing? I don't see how you get from 0,55,55,55 in the manual to -100,20,20,20 for example

[@Painless360]

I'd use the manual settings if you are new to it. I like normal mode to be less aggressive for testing and landing... Happy flying

[@redogg2749]

I have the ELRS version. Can you add a EP2 receiver to the S1.? Or will i need to buy a multiprotocol addon for my trans. Thanks

[@Painless360]

Most flybarless units have a SBUS input so you can use an ELRS receiver that can be configured for SBUS with it. Watch for CH5 output though with things like SBUS as (at the moment) that is fixed in the SBUS output as a binary channel (high or low only).

[@miriamdiggler1288]

Where do you change the channel mappings? I only find this option in the radio itself, which is a global setting and would then effect every model. Or is my understanding on how that operates incorrect? I would think that you could change the channel mappings per model, but I can't find that location.

[@Painless360]

You can move the channels in the mixer in EdgeTX for this model... Best of luck

[@realmotoX]

Thanks for the explanation on this video on the radio setup. The one part I was hoping to know is the binding process for the SFHSS. I never used a Futaba radio so I am not familiar with the process. Could you make a part 2 on the binding for the S1? Thanks

[@Painless360]

I cover that in the videos. Best of luck

[@NoLogic69]

Great tutorial, very helpful, thank you. How do I set up self level / 3d mode in channel 5. Cheers. 👍

I manage to set it up on my TX18S EdgeTX. But I have some issue on setting up it's pitch with the Goosky App as the BT connection kept disconnected after seconds of connected. I hope you can make a complete video on the complete pitch setup on the App?

I'm struggling with the app too. See my comment on that in the video... Happy flying

[@AlexBongRCFunLand]

@@Painless360 I managed to set it up using the BT after multiple trying. Found that we need to remove the old recorded BT connection (Everytime!) and do a reconnection for it to successfully connection so that we can proceed with the setting. Now play around with setting to find the best suitable setting for my flying as I found it's very sensitive to the change of RPM or pitch made it easily dropped high during hovering.

Just to add, do the frequency tune, if your flying with sfhss futaba protocol, with a TX16s. Mine was dropping out of the sky & very jittery on the sticks. I even had it replaced & it was doing the the same thing. Doing the frequency tune it now flies like dream.

I was thinking, has the manual changed as it doesn't have anything about the tx16s in it, but I see that's for the S2. The manual definitely isn't a Blade manual, but it's a heck of a lot better than the manual of the tx16s, but you can forgive them that, as most folk who use the tx16s, are going to be ppl who like to get stuck in, and the OS on the radio isn't created by Radiomaster.
