Hello all, Does anybody know if it is possible to bind the tx16s to a walkera wd450 d03 (RX2703H-D)? I’m a newbie and can’find any confirmation nor negation anywhere...

[@Urbanracer]

Looking for the same info!!

[@flytelaw1]

This video really is useful and makes Taranis more of an option and less a 1 shot deal....it is great to see some innovation in the radio side of the hobby and great to see a decrease in monopolistic tendencies especially given the fact that it was the openness that got Taranis started in the first place. Thanks, Lee:-)

Great video. The sliders feel like a missed opportunity - a lot of people would drop their jumpers for that reason alone.

WOW, looks like a well rounded radio....Great review P360!

Would you consider doing a quick video on a Spektrum setup on this radio, something that covers the bind, switch with 3 flight modes and perhaps the panic switch found on standard horizon hobby models

[@thefireman2854]

Would really like to see that as well.

[@Painless360]

[@jpsalis]

@@Painless360 I think it's TAER, from my time with spektrum. I will test this with my T16 and report back.

[@jpsalis]

The channel order seems to depend on the setup of your multiprotocol module. Mine is flashed with the AETR version, so I had to map it in that order to get it to operate properly. I also had to swap some channels in the output.

[@Painless360]

Thanks, what about the panic switch and modes?

@@Painless360 I figured out what I was doing wrong.. I forgot to take the bind plug out after binding. I'm using Multi DSM 2 22ms.. Seems to work..

[@stephanbre]

One more question: When flying a model bound to the internal module, is the external module completely switched off/ no voltage? And vice versa? My plan is to use a Jeti TU2 module as external module. This has no own antenna. Plan is to connect to existing antenna, but only possible if only one module is switched on at a time.

[@Painless360]

You can turn them on seperately via the menu in the radio. Best of luck

[@stephanbre]

@@Painless360 Thx :-)

[@licensetodrive9930]

One thing puzzles me about the 5-in-1 supporting FrSky/FlySky etc. and R9 - there's only one antenna. Are they really pushing a 900mhz signal out of a 2.4ghz wavelength antenna for R9?

[@WrongWayFPV]

I think you still need the R9 module. The firmware on the radio supports R9.. not replace the module. Not sure, just my assumption lol.

[@licensetodrive9930]

@WrongWay FPV I think you're right about it having module support not it having it already internally. I heard the 5-in-1 was 1 more than the 4-in-1 because it did R9, from someone who doesn't own one (yet) as they were reading specs.

I asked about screen. Some say touch screens are not as legible as regular screen. Is that not true? How does it compare to T16 screen? Thanks.

[@burned_esc]

there some HARDWARE CHANGES to the 3rd batch of radiomaster t16s (got mine just a few days ago hallsensor version) the protective film on the touch screen doesn't have a grid pattern on it that so many thought to be the touch screen pattern, there's a larger louder speaker installed in the back cover not in the back of the grid in front so two halves are now connected by two cables, probably important info for anybody opening the radio for the first time and the project box is replaced with a simple flat plastic cover and you get extra screen protector in the box.

[@snoopy_fpv119]

the same and opentx 2.3.9 on it

[@graywoulf]

So, there is no grid pattern showing at all? And is the rear speaker mounted in the JR bay?

[@burned_esc]

@@graywoulf no grid pattern at all and no speaker is not in jr bay its somewhere in the back right side corner, there was always a designated place for a speaker there. I'm not sure but I think only the review samples and maybe the first batch of radios had a small speaker in the front

Hi, what about the support for the new FrSky ACCESS protocol? To my knowledge, neither the Jumper T16, T18 nor the Radiomaster TX16S support this new protocol ?! So if you choose a Jumper T16, T18 or Radiomaster TX16S, this means in the same breath, a future without FrSky, since FrSky will only release receivers with the new ACCESS protocol in the future and not with the ACCST protocol. Do I understand this correctly? From this point of view, I would very much like to know your opinion. FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 or would you prefer Jumper T16, T18 or Radiomaster TX16S?

[@Painless360]

I'm sure that support will come in time. If you want FrSky, buy FrSky..

[@Dominik-pv4dl]

@@Painless360 Thanks for the fast respond. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an advocate of FrSky or any other manufacturer. I'm a model sport returner and I'm currently in the process of building a new setup. I'm just unsure which manufacturer to rely on. For this reason my request for advice. I have no desire to invest approx. 270 euros in a FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 transmitter in order to be on the wrong way. As I understand you now, the Radiomaster TX16S would definitely be a good choice and any future ACCESS support is very likely. However, the Jumper T18 will soon be on the market and the specifications don't sound bad - if not very good. Does the 5-in-1 module make any sense in Germany - can I even use it? Say - should I better wait for the Jumper T18? My planned model setup would have been a 2 meter glider with a FrSky X9D Plus SE 2019 and the FrSky Archer GR8, which has already integrated the Vario. In addition, I would have connected a liposensor. If I should now choose the Radiomaster TX16S or optionally the Jumper T18, which receiver and which telemetry components could I use instead? The Archer GR8 would then no longer be an option due to the ACCESS protocol? I sincerely hope that you can give me a supportive answer and thank you in advance for your efforts. Best regards

[@Painless360]

That answer is a much longer one and potentially subject to a lot of personal bias by all who answer it. FrSky started out creating the products we all wanted - a cheap, powerful radio that we could rely on for a lot less than vendors like Futaba, Spektrum, Aurora and others. Sadly as they have grown that spirit of innovation and risk taking has gone and they now appear more focussed on changes to limit the ability of 3rd parties to work with their kit. Other vendors like Jumper, Radiomaster and others are now driving the innovation and set becoming what FrSky was 5 years ago. If you're starting out then both are good choices, for pilots like me with lots of investment in FrSky kit that seem hell bent on no longer supporting vendors like RadioMaster feel more like they embody the spirit of the hobby I love.. Hope that helps.

[@Dominik-pv4dl]

@@Painless360 I like your passion for the hobby! I understand your opinion / position and can understand it very well. Companies like these should "support" each other, spur each other on to achieve their best, or at least, in terms of innovation, not slow each other down due to their own current lack of innovation. The original basic idea, the spirit, should finally stay alive! Because everything else brings nothing to the end of the day! But I also think that FrSky should have learned this lesson and hopefully will now appreciate how much their customers have supported and believed in them over the years. Also, they shouldn't forget that customers are always the backbone of every company! FrSky has brought many great innovations to the market in the past and has supported us with this, in our beloved hobby, and given us many hours of joy. Therefore, I also believe that we, as customers, should not completely ignore this in the current situation. I don't want to pretend that Frsky has really messed up and that their current "business practices" are definitely very questionable. But everyone makes mistakes, and FrSky also has potential, we all know from the past. So let's work together again on "SPIRIT" and the products we all want. At this point I would like to thank you again for your support. I will think again now and then hopefully make a wise decision. All the best!

Thanks for posting this...I didn't know that my screen was even active yet. I thought I still had to load a new software release (I've only had my TX for a week).

@@12beemer34 I think we’ve got to wait a month or two for opentx2.4 to support actually using the screen in the menus and stuff but yea it you can check you have the touchscreen in the menu.

[@12beemer34]

@@gautamkrishna7421 I'm still learning this TX. I did find a bug, maybe you can see if yours does the same. In system/hardware/debug if I debug "switches" first I can see all switches work properly. But if I debug "analogs" (testing the screen) and THEN go back to "switches" I find that all switches work except SB. Once I select "down" on SB it freezes. All other switches continue to work but SB stays frozen in the down position. I have to do a power reset to get it to start working again. I looked on OpenTX for any open issues like this but I didn't see one.

hi so out off the box,wat rx can you bind to,and is it mode selectable as i fly mode 1.thx mark.

[@Painless360]

See github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md for the protocols and modes are easy to change.

hi i am a spektrum guy and looking for a new radio, i have watched all the videos but see nothing about using this with helicopters? the downloaded manual aslo mentions nothing. i take it it has all the normal heli options but i have the chance to use other receivers is this correct? cheers

[@Painless360]

I have two videos on OpenTX and helis. Both can be found in the OpenTX mix school playlist.. best of luck

[@Painless360]

Google something like 'heli opentx painless360' to find one of them, the other will be out in the next few weeks.. ;)

Funny is I've got no fewer then 8 planes bound on my jumper tx16 but for the life of me can not get throttle to work on any plane I've tried to bind on radiomaster. What could it be?

[@Painless360]

I've not seen that so I am guessing you have missed it something basic. Throttle cut switch maybe? What troubleshooting have you already done?

[@BurgerurgerFPV]

How do i know the remote is charging and when it’s done charging?

[@yashmulya2397]

The problem is as follows We've been trying to bind our transmitter and receiver but have been unsuccessful so far. The module that has to be bound isn't visible. The specifications are as follows: Transmitter : Radiomaster TX16S (16 channel) Receiver : Radiomaster R88 (8 channel)

[@Painless360]

What protocols and setting have you tried? Binding video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZTcepirnrqDpJo

I've just bought Ar630 as3x I've seen on KZbin some guy binded safe rx and it went into safe mode all surfaces moved when plane moves but mine dosent move anything I've heard first time bind must be on spektrum tx how can I get around this can't afford to buy spektrum tx just to energise rx safe mode

[@Painless360]

No idea. I've never set that up. Spektrum do try and make it harder than it needs to be... Best of luck

[@alanartt3138]

Probably a daft question but can't find any info and don't wnat to make a mistake if I order one. On the mid range version (TX16s) can I plug in an existing TBS micro TX and use it or is it only the top of the range version that supports the TBS Micro Tx?

[@Painless360]

They all should support it... confirm with the vendor...

[@jimsnodgrass8454]

Great T16S videos! Thanks very much for the info! I have questions about this radios compatibility with a Wireless Training Mode called MASTER/SBUS I'm into this Wireless Training using the OTx Trainer Mode: MASTER/SBUS which passes the trainee's stick data thru the radio board to the model in flight. But: What I can't get Banggood or Radiomaster Tech support to answer are these question: if I insert a DIY 4:1MPM into the JR slot will it Bind with the Trainee's radio wireless link and work in this MASTER/SBUS mode in the normal FrSky D16 protocol or any other? Also, If ia T16S can support SBUS via D16 on the trainer link, can I use the T16S's "Internal MPM that comes standard in this radio with an ASSAN or a DSM2 mode Rx bound to the model's INTERNAL MPM radio link at the same time? Will this SBUS mode also work with the XM+ FrSky Receiver that's in a Linker II module? I have had the radio on Order since 23 March but it's delayed and not due to ship till 29May. This is important to me since currently I can't use wireless training with anything BUT models with FrSky Receivers in them and I have lots of other receiver types in park flyer models i do not needed to use telemetry with, but I'd still like to let my grandson's train on them too.

[@Painless360]

I'm playing with the wireless telemetry options at the moment and once I've figured it out, I'll make a video.. Stay tuned!

Brand new to drones and I've read a lot of advice telling me to get this controller and practice in a simulator until i feel comfortable enough to fly a drone irl. I just purchased this and realized that it may need special batteries (Which, it obviously does.) does this radio need to battery powered in order to use it on my PC?
