I've never heard of cross trim before - what a blindingly simple good idea! I'm going to try it out next time I go flying.

Thanks Ulf & Lee. I used to use the feature with Spektrum but didn't realise it was possible with OpenTX. Now I see it is, just not a single tick in a box. I think I'll nip into companion and change all mine as I find the right trim hard to find with my left hand which means I have to glance down. As you know, this can be a bad thing!!

[@rtrider48]

Excellent Lee. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@sidd8310]

Never thought of cross trims, very usefull. Might use this on my acro planes where there's no FC in it. Thanks

[@MCsCreations]

Oh... That can be really useful indeed! 😃 Thanks a lot, Lee!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@ndcapper]

Great stuff! Very useful

[@StefanNaewe]

Isn't that flexibility of OTX/EdgeTX great!

[@jamesceastep8874]

This cross trim programming is REALLY useful. Thanks! Whoe! I just realized that my Eachine TX16S and the Radiomaster TX16S both have trim switches T5 and T6! What are those for and how can they make flying easier? - Jim

[@Painless360]

You can use them for anything you want including something like cross trim... Happy flying

[@sidd8310]

I've set mine to callout battery voltage and rssi. You can disable the trim sounds in flight modes tab in opentx (change trim to :0 to disable it), but that button will not work as a trim anymore.

One thing I've been wondering, is how can some of the things that go into special functions in models be set up globally. For example, if I had many models, and wanted a throttle lockout and instant trim on the same switches always or possibly something more complex? I couldn't find a way for the throttle lockout (throttle override to -100) to be defined in global functions, for example. It's easy in special functions, but that means you need to do it in every model, and since it's a safety thing, it would be best if it could be global so it will work on any model that has throttle on the default throttle channel.

[@Painless360]

I'm not aware of a way to do tha - apart from copying the model. If you find something, please let me know... Best of luck

[@bentravis99]

Great idea, but for me personally that would confuse my muscle memory!

[@danievantonder6546]

Cross trim and intant trim doesnt work together any suggestions

[@Painless360]

If you are using the latest version of whichever firmware then I'd let the developers know via a bug report on Github.. Best of luck!

[@phillippowell3847]

HI I have just got aTX16S for my sins I am a Taranis owner so while getting to grips with it copying models across and so forth I noticed something. Now the battery (2 cell LiION 7.4v 5.0 AH) came before the TX so I thought I would charge the said battery, the TX arrived I noticed that the battery monitor was not showing a full battery I then proceeded to charge with the supplied lead using my computer after waiting for eternity the green light went out and the monitor showed a full battery . My Hota charger and battery checker recon it was full ???????

[@Painless360]

I remove the batteries from any radio to charge. I don't trust the inbuilt chargers and would prefer the battery to have an issue outside of the radio. Sorry I can;t be more help on this one. Best of luck!

[@ruf_ma_g]

There is a battery voltage adjustment to correct the reading on the TX16 display. I don’t know if that relates to the charge circuit but it would make sense if it did. Short job using the balance plug to a battery checker and adjusting from menu while powered on
