ETHOS: Simple plane setup for beginners (all steps explained)

[@hugoenriquez2558]

please keep these awsome instructional videos coming, very nicely done.

[@MCsCreations]

Some fantastic tips there, Lee! Thanks a lot! 😃 I believe I have some Matek 5v regulators... I'm going to build something like that! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

WoW that is a Beautiful radio, I just was talking to a friend in Discord about that Same radio, I just wish I could get flying more fix-wing right now it's a 40 mile trip one way. But I love that radio and I want it now ! LOL ! Can't wait to see more onit. Thanks again for the video and information.

[@hoyvintagecycles2936]

im trying to swap from Spektrum to Frsky, the terminology is not very intuitive. Thanks for the vids. very helpful.,

[@regs3836]

As always a well explained process.

[@frankyflowers]

i love that plane.

[@theflyingsandalrc]

I would consider that radio if it could run Edge TX

[@joshmellon390]

Ignore my patreon message! I figured it all out last night. I'm going to work my way through the rest of this series today. Those 6 momentary buttons are screaming Ardupilot modes haha.

[@Painless360]

I just replied so let me know if you get stuck! :D

[@richardmiddleton7770]

I know you're just showing examples of how you'd change servo throws/end points/rates but it's always best to reduce the servo arm length and keep the throws in the radio at 100% or higher. This increases mechanical torque and resolution.

[@_F5X]

good idea to use servo tester for centering. just a small contribution, I heard that using curves for limiting and centering the servos in outputs menu is more precise

[@Painless360]

Indeed, this is a simple plane setup video that only covers the basics needed for a simple setup. Happy flying!

Great video as always, very helpful. Could perhaps show how to set up a motorized glider with the rudder and elevator on one the right stick. Only way I've been able to do it is through the rudder aileron mix. Is there a better way, one in which the left stick is not rudder active? I see you can change the transmitter mode but I have a mix of planes including full house gliders where I want the rudder on the left stick also. Thanks

[@Painless360]

You could simply plug the rudder servo into the channel on the reciever normally used for the ailerons. Would that not work?

[@skrswift]

love for you to do a comparison on the Frsky range 18/18s 20/20s etc Im struggling to decide which would be the best of there range to purchase.

[@Painless360]

Thanks for the idea. I only have the X18s here so that isn't something I can do at the moment... Happy flying

[@adrianmilanesi9143]

Hi There your videos have been such great help over the years, I have just purchased an X10S Express second hand in great condition is there a way to reset it to factory default and get rid of all the models that are in it? Best Adriano

[@Painless360]

I'm not aware of one. If you find out a way, please let me know.

[@circleofowls]

Great overview! As someone who has been flying acro quads for years but has never flown a fixed wing, how much of a learning curve would I be looking at to learn the controls for a fixed wing?

[@Painless360]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqtZKSQabCChbM is a good place to start... Happy flying

[@amritafagna130]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🍻🍻loved it

[@robertwantz5286]

I’ve been using high grade Futaba for many years. Looking at FrSky. Differences? What is Open programming. Complicated? I am not very computer literate. Too difficult for me?

[@Painless360]

Check out the ETHOS series that covers the basics. FrSky has targeted Futaba and Spektrum fixed wing flyers with these ETHOS radios.. best of luck

[@Precision409]

Why not center servos manually instead of recentering with the radio values?

[@Painless360]

This video is aimed at beginners, topics like that are covered in more advanded content... Happy flying

[@jeffgrave]

Great video. Is the antenna internal on that radio?

[@Painless360]

They are option for external antenna too.

[@arthurdelatorre8751]

love your videos can you send me a link on where to buy the servo power supply

[@Painless360]

Not sure what you mean. The servo checker or the 5v BEC that powers it?

[@Jhill035]

Can you do a video on headtracking?

[@Painless360]

I could. Specifically with ETHOS?

[@alfredvink]

Hi lee, ETHOS has come a long way since your first videos, version 1.4.5 at the moment. Maybe an update video on what’s been changed in the last few updates. And I’d like to see what I need to use it for ELRS which should be possible now.

[@rufo195]

How can you add multiple rates on a switch? (low, mid, high)
