I don't think they just "gave it back" until they felt the heat from competition like Radiomaster. Glad they did though.

[@Pooley929]

@@g33kfly yeah RadioMaster has to be a thorn in their sides You really couldn't beat them in any way shape fashion or form their product is quite superior most directions but as of myself I stick with Spectrum even though I own a TX-16S because I just could never figure the thing out and finally gave up I'll get back to it as I'm getting into the drone stuff with FPV and you have to have one from what I'm told but I did not like the interface at all just was way too complicated compared to what I was used to with Spectrum setting up an aircraft in a few seconds versus a half an hour and still not right lol but that's a me thing

Thank you for the video, I have no current need for this amazing update, but will definitely see what my NX-10 SE can do.😊

Yes fire that thing up even if you don't need it it's nice to know you can have it

[@BillKisel]

Thank you so much! HH/Spektrum dropped the ball on this one,,, After doing the upgrade to my NX8 and not finding anything showing me the extra channels I contacted HH Tech. Support to tell me why I could not find/see the extra channels. I got a very cryptic one-line email response that left me totally confounded. I decided not to try again knowing that sooner mor later there would be a YT video such as this to help me out. Thanks again.

@@BillKisel Hey to answer your question about the extra channels even though you only have a certain amount of switches if you had a receiver that had 20 channels and let's say you want to use two servos to do two flap system independently you'd have enough to do that and assign both of those servos to one switch L Flap and R Flap

[@BillKisel]

@@Pooley929 Thanks, but I'm not seeing it. Wouldn't you just use a Y harness? I do see something like setting up flaperons needing to use an extra channel and an extra switch. Wait, I do see how that would allow you to do some fine radio tuning instead of mechanical fine tuning.

[@Pooley929]

@@BillKisel if you have a larger aircraft that might have three servos on one wing you would want to have another channel to use for L aileron, Rt aileron same with elevator left elevator right elevator L and R Flap you need an extra channel for companies that are not Spectrum for reverse thrust that is 7 channels for you , to explain in more detail why you could not use a y if you have six servos on the two wings it's almost never going to be synced together you would need to separate the channel just to get things balanced in my experience only,

[@Pooley929]

@@BillKisel also I forgot to mention if there are six servos going on one tiny servo lead you kind of stressed that thing out power-wise also it's just too much amperage for the single cable that's another reason why you separat it Hope this explains why some people are excited about it

[@malatoke]

X-plus only works with the xplus module or 20 channel receivers according to the manual. Download the nx10+ manual to see the changes

[@Pooley929]

@malatoke When I accessed it in the video I did not have a receiver initiated at all, of course, to get it to actually work, you will need a twenty channel receiver in that case. But I didn't have a need for it at that moment. I just wanted to test it.

[@malatoke]

@Pooley929 yeah, what I mean is those channels apparently won't work with the receiver unless it's x-plus compatible through a module or the 20 channel receiver. I think the first 14 channels will work for things like gyro functions etc even on something like an ar630 but beyond that as I understand it those channels won't work with the receiver unless it's compatible

[@Pooley929]

@malatoke gotcha, that makes sense. You can see the channels pop-up, but in order to use them, you need that x. Plus expansion or a true, larger channel receiver.

Awesome.

Thanks man did you upgrade yet? Or are you scared some are???

[@dradden1556]

@@Pooley929 . Not yet. I'm a truck driver and don't get home till Friday Im on the road Monday through Thursday. I plan to do it soon as I get home. I know some people are afraid cause the stories that sometimes the updates lock up the transmitter and has to be sent back to be fixed. My first Spektrum transmitter was NX8 and the first time I did update it locked up. But none since then have given me problems. I think it was something I did but they fixed it quick

@@Pooley929 . I trust you know what your doing and wouldn't lead me wrong ,so I'm definitely going to try it. Besides an extra 10 channels will be great
