How To: Download Models to Spektrum

[@mjg6191]

Man you are a life saver!! just spent 2 nites trying to figure this stuff out, and you just showed me exactly how in 5 minutes !! Plus we have the same radio to boot, and there isn't a lot of vid's or talk about them. THANK YOU . Subscriber for life.

[@garyengland9152]

Finally a straight forward no BS INSTRUCTIONAL video. Well done. Thank you

Right CANT WATCH HORIZONS VIDEOS FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON THEIR OWN RADIOS

[@cook1469]

Took forever to find a video showing this. Thank you.

[@chriscrawford1958]

I just got a DX8 gen2 as my first radio. Asked Spektrum tech support how to get it working with a Carbon Cub S+, and they referred me to the manual for building the model from scratch! If it weren’t for this video, I might never have known those models were ready to import. Thanks a lot Spektrum....idiots!!! Thank you very much for making and posting this!!!!

[@SiR2Dean]

I was just searching to find out how to transfer my files between old and tx. I never even knew this was possible! I only have bnf planes and this makes so much more sense from horizon finally 🙌 👏 thankyou for making it buddy!

[@edhenry5422]

Just watched the video in downloading models. Very informative. Thanks. Can you do downloads like this if your plane has a larger receiver ( 10 channel instead of 6) than the bnf model??

[@paulmalutinok7221]

Thank you! Quick, clear and informative.

[@ericsloan9225]

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video!!

[@steverudd5745]

Thanks so much for the helpful video. I will implement much of what I learned by watching!

[@BretChilcott]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Good video.

[@jamesbean1962]

Do you use the same procedure for a model already on your transmitter? Or do you need to delete the model on the transmitter and create a new one.

[@TheUpwardbound1]

Awesome man thanks alot. Just getting into the hobby. I know I should learn to do manually which I will but it's so cool to use the updated technology we have to make it so easy. What is the difference between the Dx8e and NX8 Spektrum controllers? Which do you recommend?

[@markarmour4256]

Thank you for a great video. Well done!

[@BCJ725]

HH has completely re-done their website and it appears that the downloads you're talking about have disappeared. Yes? (The "Manuals and Support" tab only lists downloadable manuals.)

[@Themandogable]

Google set ups for spectrum radio, first on the list should be spectrum website, go there.At the top of the website you will see a box that says set ups/updates click on the box a little drop-down menu will show “air transmitter set ups” click that, Then you’ll see pictures of your transmitters. Mine is a DX8, so just below the transmitter is a little box that says DX8 or whatever transmitter yours is. right click that box or long press if you’re using an iPad or something. and that will bring a little drop-down menu of the specific transmitter You have. Click on your specific transmitter and it will bring you to that transmitter page , right there in plain sight below will be an orange box that Says download DX8 setups. “Dx8 In my case”.Click on the orange box and it will give you a drop-down list of planes and set ups. Choose which one and it should download to your computer send it to your SD card and go from there with your transmitter, I wish I could make a KZbin video on how to do this. This KZbin video is an accurate or no longer accurate. I hope the frustrated people that see this video come across my text here. Have fun flying be safe. And by no means do I mean to bash this video!! I just wanna be helpful to the people that really want to get in the air.

[@modelaircraft6576]

Thank you for making this video

[@mbmrc5241]

Thanks for watching it...check out the rest of our videos!

[@techi3075]

Files are not on thier site under radio manuals and support... just comparison chart and manual.

[@johnmcgahern3946]

Thank you very much for the upload sir! It was very kind of you. It helped a great deal. I might as well ask you this now...I've read the manual for the DX8 G2 and although on page 5 it tells you all the precautionary stuff and dos and don't about charging the the transmitter battery, nowhere does it say how you know when the battery is fully charged. It just says, plug it in and when it's charged un plug it. How do I know WHEN it's fully charged, is there some indicator on the display. Needless to say I haven't charged it yet and have just been using the charge that came with it from the factory to figure things out.

[@mbmrc5241]

John McGahern the charger will shut off once the battery is full, according to my local hobby shop. I had the same question myself!

[@johnmcgahern3946]

Okay thanks. How low do you let the voltage go before charging it, 6.4V?

[@mbmrc5241]

John McGahern yeah right around there I wouldn’t go any lower than that. Usually 6.8 for me.

[@johnmcgahern3946]

Okay, as the instructions say on page 5 I just powered off my transmitter, connected the charger to jack in the battery pack and plugged the other end into the wall. Am I supposed to see something displayed on the LCD? There is no light or anything on the charger either to let you know that something is happening? Is this normal?

[@mbmrc5241]

John McGahern yes absolutely, I also had the same question myself. Took it to the local hobby store and they steered me in the correct direction, I should’ve made you aware of that too, I’m sorry. As soon as you had asked about the battery I should’ve included that in the previous comment I charge mine for about 12 hours

[@RCFlyBy911]

Hello , So by downloading set ups this gives all the travelers automatically ? I never knew I could do this until I came across your channel ‼ Thanks for sharing info on this transmitter. Your right too not much on the DX8G2

[@mbmrc5241]

Thanks a lot! I'm not sure why a lot of youtubers don't deliver info like this. But yes everything should be set correctly all you'll have to do is trim the model out, whether it needs a little left rudder or some up elevator.

[@RCFlyBy911]

MBMrc This is awesome! Can’t believe I never found this out ..LOL.. Glad you put this out there 👍🏻 Thank You MBMrc

[@steverudd5745]

Thanks so much for your helpful video!

[@cparedes2302]

Hello My TX is a NX10 and works with a micro SD card. The card is formatted and contains the files downloaded. Unfortunately the TX does not recognize the card. It pops the message SD card not inserted although it is Any suggestions? Many thanks

[@paulbritton1436]

Perfect, thanks

[@jonathanpiersol1931]

The Horizon Web Site no longer has the "Model Setups". Go to Spektrum's webpage (www.spektrum.com) and follow the same instructions. Select your transmitter model then on the manuals page you'll find "Download DX8G2 Setups"

[@richardcalver6686]

My spektrum login is broken . Not sure why you need to log in for a a file settings of a helicopter

[@thelongestday64]

The website just changed and now it does not work anymore like this, but until recently it did! Now it is ONLY on the sektrum website!

[@scottfirman]

Setups do not come up on Horizon, do you have to sign in first to get down loads?

[@mbmrc5241]

No, are you using a desktop or a mobile browser?

[@FahrschuleFlittner]

i guess they are not longer available

[@burtonrc9528]

Go to spektrumrc.com then go to setups/updates select air transmitter setups then select your radio you can find all the models available.

[@shannonshull6989]

I just went to Horizon Hobby, DX8 GEN2, support tab, and theres no BNF aircraft files, just manuals. Where do I find these files?

[@burtonrc9528]

Go to spektrumrc.com then go to setups/updates select air transmitter setups then select your radio you can find all the models available.

[@christophersmythe1093]

great stuff chris in the uk Manchester

[@rueda82nd]

so i tried this on my discontinued DX7gen2 tried to downlad onHH site but it wont work. Tried on another discontinued model also wouldn't work. I can i download a Dx8 version put into my Dx7?

[@mbmrc5241]

Sky Soldier so unfortunately I have never tried with a discontinued model. Is your dx7 a gen 2 or original?

[@rueda82nd]

@@mbmrc5241 Yeah i got gen 2 version i talked to a tech rep , he said i could copy a Dx6 or Dx8 version and download that would work

[@mbmrc5241]

Sky Soldier yes dx6 is what I would suggest, gotta love HH support. If you go with the 8 they might assign something to a switch you don’t have on your 7, so at all cost only use the 6 model

[@kraigvanderwyk2443]

Does this setup include binding?

[@aaronyee7411]

Very helpful

[@LVBRIP]

Thanks for the vid, but unfortunately Spektrum have deleted the "Download aircraft setups" menu. Does anyone have the spm files for an apprentice sts?

[@burtonrc9528]

Go to spektrumrc.com then go to setups/updates select air transmitter setups then select your radio you can find all the models available.

[@audiotech6513]

how to download on my DX6i the nano S2 model

[@antoniusekopurwanto8362]

Is it possible on spektrum DX6?

[@billbehrens4202]

Yes it is. But if you get an error code or it won't work on the model you choose you'll need to update your firmware.

[@FahrschuleFlittner]

OMG New Website - the Presets are not there

[@FahrschuleFlittner]

here it is: www.horizonhobby.com/product/dx6-6-channel-dsmx-transmitter-gen-3-with-ar6600t/SPM6755.html
