Goosky S2 Legend Radio Setup On Spektrum

? at the roughly 10:40 mark of your video, I can’t/don’t understand the term “tally” and its meaning/application. Please clarify this for me. Thanks!

[@daviduhlving4756]

Same question, what is tally?

[@jonmanos1116]

T.A.L.Y. - - - "Torque Assisted Left Yaw".... The main motor speeds up to assist the helicopter's yaw to the left using the main motor's increasing torque forces on the frame of the model around the vertical axis of its main shaft. You can hear "T.A.L.Y." in action when Jeff manually yaws the helicopter to the right (10m:32s), the main motor's RPM increases to help bring it back to the left. At the same time, the tail rotor's RPM decreases to allow left yaw to occur.... I believe "T.A.L.Y." is only found on helicopters with fixed pitch tail rotors. But I am very new to this stuff. I am not 100% sure on that.

[@NaturebyGus]

With this setting do you get any battery telemetry from the Goosky to your Spektrum Radio? Thanks

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Unfortunately no, there is no battery telemetry with spektrum because the Goosky FBL does not support SRXL2

[@NaturebyGus]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I think this is a huge limitation for this otherwise great heli. I do not understand why they spent so much with the great design and not support a protocol with telemetry. Even my tiny Nano S3 (several years old already) came with telemetry.

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

I have mind setup on opentx, I have a switch which is effectively throttle hold, it just switches between 100% flat line and 0% same pitch curve in both. balls out 🙂

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@DorsetSaferRoads I’ve been flying spektrum for over 15 years, never a single issue! Can’t say the same with other radios.

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 there are plenty that have had no issues with spektrum but have seen too many issues myself mostly losing bind and refusing to rebind. Had a play with an nx8 recently, the UI was slow, laggy and loads of "screen rip" the case felt horrible and cheap. Something you could forgive on a £150 radio but not on something twice that price. The ix 12 is a £660 radio. Which is mental in today's world

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@DorsetSaferRoads 99% if people problems with spektrum is they use cheap Chinese receivers which are crap and lose bind or refuse to bind exactly what you were claiming. There is a reason I fly spektrum in my $20,000 plus turbines or 300mph plus speed planes. If you use genuine receivers never have an issue. But everybody is so quick to bash or blame spektrum themselves because they are too cheap to buy an actual receiver and don’t have any idea why it loses bind or fails. I’ve had three gimbal springs brake on the TX16S already. They are just such a cheap crafted radio even the feel of them is cheap they remind remind me of the old Chinese cell phones from years ago. They’re a great radio for somebody that doesn’t have expensive models or doesn’t fly anything big. Definitely a great radio but if you’re flying expensive aircraft or big aircraft you need reliability. Flying spektrum for 15 plus years and have gone over 300mph and never a Single issue. I am more than glad to pay every penny that they charge for the radios and receivers to never have to worry and I have a peace of mind. And on top of that, they have the best customer service in the game. You can drop your radio and break it and send it to them they fix it for free. You can crash an airplane or helicopter and destroy the receiver. You send it to them they fix it no charge to you. No other company out there that’ll do that. Got a remember I’ve been in this hobby a long time I have flung every brand of radios there is. There’s a reason I go back to spektrum every time.

Jeff any word on how to setup the rescue for the S1 and S2 with Spektrum?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Yes and no, yes I figured out to do it. But it’s a complicated mix setup. I just heard of anther way Im Going to try. But if you have your normal mode with self level you could always go back to normal at any time and the self level will work as a rescue.

[@LichaelMewis]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 does this rescue prevent the helicopter from going inverted? I guess what I'm asking is it a self level or is it a true rescue mode?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@LichaelMewis Goosky or OMP does not have a true rescue mode. You are modifying self level to make a rescue, but yes rescue would stop you from going inverted when flipped.

[@hobie278]

Great video. I noticed when you were moving helicopter around while spooling up the satellite light was blinking instead of on solid does it matter? Also my friend put gear on switch D and it’s like having heading hold. Have you tried that yet? Thanks again great work and video.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you, yes it should be solid. I was using a old DSM2 RX to bind and I rebind with a DSMX RX and the light was solid. Yes, you can put that on any switch. Personally I don’t ever use it but you can have it setup as “rescue” as well.
