Thank you for your slow pace and your exact steps and necessary details!!! Some of us dont even know what a model is! It is the plane. Most people skip around and leave us lost. Really appreciate all your details and not going too far with something we do not need, like others do. THANK YOU !!

This is perfect video when you want to learn the basics of EdgeTX. I was long time Spektrum user ( more than 5 years ), and just now I am converting to EdgeTX and I was scared that it will take ages to do basic things. After watching this video - I have answered like 90% of all my questions. Thank You!

Big relief!! I'm not up to speed on computers, even so, to push the limits, I finally switched over to Edge. TBH, I was scared sh..less that I was going to ,and did brick my radio, or severely impacted operation. Nothing showed up on my screen, even after I created a model accidentally. I was able to bind my quad to the radio, but I couldn't tell which model was on screen, cause it never changed. I was bummed. got up in the morning and saw this video, and thought , what the hay, maybe I missed something. It was filling widgets, so the model would show on screen when selected. What a relief!! I didn't brick radio, and I am so thankful you made this video. I'll have to relearn this radio. Stuff like the servo reversing, which you could do on the Open Tx by clicking on direction arrow. I'm a retired Vet, and I took up FPV to keep myself computer literate, and sharp. Couldn't do it without guys like you making video content. Wish I could be a patron for all you guys. Kind of a reverse thanks for your service is all I can do today, just know it's greatly appreciated, and you made my day!

Glad to help. I have tons of EdgeTX and OpenTX material. You can learn a lot about how Edge works if you understand OpenTX too. Have fun.

Truly the best video currently on the net. I live on a small island in France opposite La Rochelle (Ile de Ré). It is certainly a very good radio but "quite" complex at start-up. So thank you again for your invaluable help. Sorry, I don't speak English very well!!! Have a good year

[@joemusto5674]

Hey John, Your videos are awesome! Thanks so much. Here's a tip for Timer reset if no one already mentioned it. Setup an edge activated logical switch. Your mechanical switch triggers the logical switch. That way even if you leave the switch in the reset position, it will not stop the timer. It acts like a momentary switch.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Great tip!

Excellent, excellent, awesome and entertaining. I have learned so much on that radio through your videos I am scaring myself. 🙂

The light goes on at some point and then it all becomes clear, but it's like chess--takes a short time to learn and a lifetime to master.

Great tutorial, thanks! I just purchased a tx16s with 2.7 on it. It works (on a bench) with my old Hitec receivers. I did run into a small issue trying to setup a dual servo aileron rig. Set up T5 exactly like T1, make sure the name is the same and it's case sensitive. I had named it AIL instead of Ail. Now for the wind to stop....

[@marksherman630]

Missed this live, but your vids are really clear and very informative. e.g. I never saw much use for GV's after I read this: "Global" means that global variables can be used to set pages for the entire model, but not for all models. Each model has its own set of global variables." That's from page 50 of the Radiomaster TX16S User Manual. So, thanks for setting me straight - I'll be using GV's now.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Be careful not to mix up Global Functions and Global Variables. Global Functions are set in the radio settings and apply to all models. Global Variables are set in Model settings and are usable throughout the model configuration but values set in Global Variables do not affect other models.

[@RCVideoReviews]

You bet!

[@gregmaggert8561]

So the inputs are rates of 0-100% and that rate or percentage is how much a flap will be allowed to move when set to a specific switch and that switch is in said position?

Reverse doesn't manipulate limits on servo movement, it simply inverts the signal. Something else is going on with that configuration. You might dig into your mixer line for that channel.

Another video with excellent production standards. Thanks, John, for all the time & care you put into ALL your videos, the editing, and all of it. I'm the same way, 'detail oriented,' so I notice all the little things. I imagine it has taken you awhile to accumulate all the little things that you use, the A/B shots, the custom transitions, (love the "woosh " sound effect as the little plane goes by--did you draw all those things yourself? I know you did!), and the charts and diagrams...with all the circles & arrows, and everything.... (Yes, John, that was a little nod to Arlo Guthrie, who always comes to mind when I mention things like photos, and charts & diagrams (...with all the circles & arrows & everything...Sorry, got caught in a loop there!)). All those details really make a difference, and since they're bespoke, they all contribute to your style and Brand. As I know you know. ( You probably invented "Branding.") Awesome work. Flawless.

[@RCVideoReviews]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKCnmn6OaJiXeck You can use receiver IDs to prevent the radio from binding to the wrong model. So Airplane 1, Receiver A, Receiver ID 1 will not bind to Airplane 2, Receiver A, Receiver ID 2 but Airplane 2, Receiver A, Receiver ID 1 will bind and you may have the wrong controls for that.

[@vigor3d]

loving your videos mate I'm staying up late learning heaps from your videos thank you. A question I have is can you please make a video as I am moving away from Futaba to Radio master T16s. I want to set up logic. So what I currently do on Futaba is I have 3 conditions, stall turn, snaps and Spins. Im flying F3a pattern biplane so snaps for example I fly around in normal low rate mode, then I flick a switch to activate the snap condition but at this stage nothing changes as far as flying rates go until my logic kicks in from my stick positions. My logic for snap is full down elevator or up depending on the snap then full aileron and full rudder, when the sticks hit these positions the elevator reduces and the rudder and aileron increase to a pre determined position based on what I require for that snap. When I return the sticks to the centre at a given position not quite yet at the centre the logic turns off and plane returns to the flying rate, low rates. Then I can turn the condition off. The idea of the condition switch is so I cannot accidentally enter a snap condition during normal flight i.e. in a spin if sticks happen to go into the same place the snap is not active. In Futaba they have graphs and it's easy to see where and when sticks are in the set up. In the Radio master I think you use the symbols a>x or such like but I don't know what all these mean or how to use them. A video would be greatly appreciated please. Thank you please keep up the informative work for us newbies to radio master its quite a different mind set to Futaba I've been using for over 10 years. Wayne

Global Functions apply to all models. Special Functions apply to the current model. If you want to use the switch for different things with different models, remove the Global Function definition and specify Instant Trim as a Special Function for planes that you want to use the switch as Instant Trim and specify Elevator Hold for planes you want to use Elevator Hold.

[@BandsawBob]

Great video. Made alot of things click for me. Question: does a model switch assignment over ride a global defn or do they both function? I have my momentary switch defn as the Instant Trim now (thanks for the idea). However, on one of my heli's I would like to have it as a panic button and as a RTH on one of my quads. Since the times I would use it as a panic or RTH switch the sticks would be centered (hence no trim changes), would the model function defn also work?

[@RCVideoReviews]

It will do both things. It will set Instant Trim and invoke RTH. On that note, you generally shouldn't be using trim on a quad and I think you'd be playing with fire using it on both. I understand ideally your sticks would be untouched during panic, but if you accidentally had one off center during a panic/rth event you could really be setting yourself up for a disaster. FYI you know you can use T5/T6 as momentary switches right? Just disable them in flight modes.

Good question. I talked with one of the Edge developers and this is what he told me: This is meant for the logic level of the AUX ports / UART's. Even though on TX16S, the pins used are 5V tolerant, what you get out is 3.3V logic level - e.g. important if hooking up a GPS or FTDI or similar. And the message is at SYSTEM -> HARDWARE page, not related to calibration.

OOTB I find my radio has a TON of stuff at the root of the SDCARD that I frankly am pretty sure I don't need - But how can I tell what HAS to be there for basic operation? Thanks!

[@RCVideoReviews]

The EdgeTX Github SD card contents for the TX16s are here: github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx-sdcard/tree/master/sdcard/c480x272 That list doesn't include models/radio which are created by the radio iteself.

[@AlpineWarren]

@@RCVideoReviews true - But I can't seem to find an explanation of what all the extra LUA files are for - I just want to clean out stuff I don't need.

Hi I have tx16 edge radiomaster I've seen guy bind as3x spmar630 it binds but I can't get safe or as3x I've binded with dx7s first and then with tx16s it's doing my head in any ideas please

You should hop on our discord and ask there. I don't know anything about Spektrum, but some of the guys on discord do: discord.gg/jSFTASU

So Im having a issue that nobody seems to help me out with on Facebook or RCG. Im on Edge 2.5 and works great , how come when I go to version 2.6 my models are missing on the model select but there in my sd card. on 2.5 there a bin file and someone said they will convert to yml once I put 2.6 . How am I suposse to update the firmware if my models dont go with it

[@RCVideoReviews]

You should join our discord and ask there. Do you have a models.yml in your MODELS folder? Do you have any YML files in your MODELS folder?

This is Jerry thank you very much you doing the video I really liked to use egtx But I didn’t know how to program to the plane no I learn I just going to practice thank you you’re the best

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're very welcome!

[@jerryzito6840]

Thanks for the response on Edgetx conversion. Also, I appreciate the time and effort you must have put in on all these videos. I used the EdgeTX wizard to set up a plane with two separate aileron servos. The output screen shows both ailerons working. Only one works on my plane. Did I miss a step?

[@RCVideoReviews]

Make sure your mixer has two discreet lines using aileron inputs. Those discreet lines will match up to your RX channel numbers. So Aileron 1 = Ch1, Aileron 2 = Ch5 Then put the wire for one aileron on Ch1 on the Rx and the wire for the other aileron on Ch5 on the Rx.

[@jerryzito6840]

@@RCVideoReviews I did not do that. thanks a bunch.

[@jerryzito6840]

Just a follow up. The input parameters are AETR, but my receiver is labeled TAER> That's where my brain locks LOL. Does it matter to the TX16s, or do I have re-map?

[@pierretruchon4353]

how you create new airplane with edgetx, if the airplane have (2) ailerons (2) elevators????

[@RCVideoReviews]

Dupe question. Answered already.

[@nickrich710]

How do I do a simple arming switch in edge TX 2.8 I am working with the radiomaster tx16s. Trying to build a Quad in edge TX..so confusing.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Pick a single line in your mixer. 5 is a good one for betaflight. For source, choose your arm switch. In betaflight, look for Aux1 on the channel assignments page for arm/disarm.

[@nickrich710]

😁😁😁😁😁 thank you very much

BTW, what is that riff at the start and end of your video.

if i will be using inav plane do i still need to set up the model and inputs and mixer?

[@RCVideoReviews]

Mixer: 100% Inputs: If you want to configure dual rates for manual mode flying.

[@Chris-vc1dh]

@@RCVideoReviews if I set up mixer in radio then I will confuse inav mixer I think?

[@RCVideoReviews]

Ok

[@kunad2294]

ok, you did make this video just saw it thanks.

[@michael88997]

Hello I setup my plane per your video but for some reason my ch2 isn’t sending a signal to my elevator, all over 3 work great… betafpv pwm rx radiomaster zorro both on 3.5.1

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're missing something. Did you check the channel monitor to see if Ch2 is showing mix and output movement? Create a brand new model, change nothing, bind Rx and check again.

[@michael88997]

@@RCVideoReviews yup tried all that, everything on the radio works great and whatever is mapped to CH2 doesn’t work

Can you set up a rc plane to the jumper t pro v2 1000w elrs transmitter

[@RCVideoReviews]

It can be done. I'm not planning a video for it if that's what you're asking.

[@garyhill2184]

I'm new to rc I have been trying to figure out what to get for a transmitter and after talking to my trainer and watching I'm going to go with a tx16s transmitter

[@RCVideoReviews]

Good choice!

[@stevejamelskyj5761]

Can u set up mini eachine warbirds on this edge

[@RCVideoReviews]

I have every airplane, quad, and heli setup I've ever used on Edge. This includes more complex FPV setups, every warbird with flaps/gear/lights, and all FBL controlled helis. Is your question about whether or not the radio can handle a model or whether or not the radio will bind with the model?

[@zeilstar]

Do I need a timer if I receive battery telemetry?

[@RCVideoReviews]

I use a timer as a sanity check, but I rely on flight pack voltage more than a timer.

[@zeilstar]

@@RCVideoReviews thanks! Maybe a gas plane would need a timer. Or if you are counting up you could measure your duration.

[@RCVideoReviews]

I've been thinking about changing to or adding a count-up timer. EdgeTX provides 3 times. I use one for count down, one for total time. I could put that 3rd timer to use as a count up timer. Would probably be more useful at this point anyway as I'm usually doing the math for the countdown timer when I exceed the configured value anyway.

How to set up a plane in the jumper t pro v2 1000w Elrs

[@MrApache64AH]

Any chance to do this with version 2.9 ?

[@RCVideoReviews]

Perhaps--but not much has changed when it comes to model setup TBH.

[@helichuck1]

Hi John, Great video, helping a lot! I am on 2.6 as well, but my tool screen only has 3 items on it. How did you get that whole list of tools on yours???

[@RCVideoReviews]

Stock radios come with a package of tools. I usually wind up deleting more than half of them. i.e. I don't care about Graupner HOTT or FrSky SBEC or FrSky GASuite or DSM Forward Programming. Those are all detritus to me. The others, I usually just go download and install: iNav Lua, TBS Agent Lite, ELRS, FrSky SxR

[@jerryWallis-k3w]

How do Make an engine cutoff switch?

[@RCVideoReviews]

In special functions set a switch to override your throttle channel (in my case #3) to -100. Don't use 0...that is actually 50% on EdgeTX.
