BD - awesome tutorial and helped me a lot with my NX10 a big step up from the DX7s. Question, Is it possible to turn of system warning vibrate?

Thank-you!!

Good job. Thanks.

[@robertwren2289]

A quick question, Does the NX 8 also have the BNF planes from HH in it like the NX 10? I'm thinking yes. You did a really good job explaining things. Thank you!

[@BDTennessee]

All NX models will have the BNF templates.Recent update removed the names and have the model listings only. So thats why you wont see them currently. Thank you for watching and positive feedback!

[@humusiclab8974]

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it was the video I was looking for, because I am thinking of dedicating myself to airplanes and changing radio. Could you tell me if the NX series has voices alarms in Italian linguage? Greetings from Italy.

[@rogerodell955]

Just wondering what part of Tennesse are from? I lived in Nashville for a little over a year back in 1989, then moved to Cookeville for about three years. Oh yes, liking the videos. Just got the NX10 recently due to the Spektrum trade-up program. Soon to be getting the Blade 230 V2 or the Blade 330. As at this moment I am flying in Realflight 9.0

Knoxville area. Glad videos help and thanks for feedback!

Hi BD, just getting back into the hobby. Your video is very educational thank you. I just added my second model to my NX8. If you don't mind my asking, do I have to re-bind the TX every time I change between models?

[@BDTennessee]

Dont have to rebind. Saves all the models and binds.

@@BDTennessee Thank you Sir

[@jcb6713]

good info... thanks...

[@randyjones7074]

When setting the NX-8 for a specific plane do you have to select that plane from your list or can you just do the set up for a general setting when assigning the switches? Your tutorials don't specifically say when setting up the TX.

[@BDTennessee]

I have a video doing both.How to setup without a template and using template for BNF.

[@jerrygiles1661]

Hi, I'm trying to setup my NX-8 Tx for use with a V-Tail 2m glider. No ailerons, only 2 servos controlling pitch and yaw (ruddervators?). Hard to find step by step instructions online for V-tail control using a Spektrum transmitter. I've fiddled and finally have the tail surfaces moving correctly BUT pitch/elevator is on the Right stick, while yaw/rudder is on the Left stick. I need them both on the right stick. Feel like I'm close but missing something? I'm using a sailplane model type, v-tail, with servos plugged in to Elevator and Rudder ports. If I move from Rudder port to Aileron port on the receiver, then it doesn't work. So, question is how to get pitch/yaw of a vtail setup on same (right) stick on a Spektrum NX-8. If you can help or point me to a resource you'll be a hero ;-) Thanks much..... jerry

[@albert3361]

Great coverage on NX10 transmitter😀. Look at getting one but can’t quite see paying $549.00. Know off sites that sale used NX10?

[@BDTennessee]

Check marketplace on facebook or RC Groups forums. Black Friday is coming up ,so maybe HH will put a sale on radios.

[@dlee1224]

Do you have a video on how to program a Lemon LMN0086 Gen2 on a Spektrum transmitter? I can't find anything

[@BDTennessee]

I dont currently. I have one of those and been wanting to do video. Motion RC cause video doing the 10 channel version.

[@lennyz853]

I have no problem adding a bnf model but when it comes to creating a new model I can't figure it out. Can you help me with the steps I need to take?

[@BDTennessee]

[@alessandrodaveiga4506]

Could you make a video explaining the use of DSM2 RXs with the NX10? I bought NX10 because it is compatible, but Spektrum support told me that it does not recommend its use.

[@BDTennessee]

DSMX allows more users to fly at one time.So less chance of issue.

[@albertburton4151]

Just got the NX10 SE. it will be use side by side with my DX8 G2. Hope to have my DX 8 G2 as trainer transmitter.

Hi, I just bought 2 NX6 for sport flying. I need to register them which requires the serial numbers. I followed the directions and it does not work. After pressing Next twice it takes me to other screens. Please help!

[@chuckgordon8179]

I'm very new to these programable controllers, this video helps a lot. But I do have a question. My AC manual says to set the Dual Rates for the different control surfaces to a certain mm. Example, Aileron Up 16mm Down 16 mm, Elevator Up 14 mm Down 14 mm. But when I go into the controller dual rate set up its in percentage. Is there a conversion or something that i'm missing? Thanks!

[@BDTennessee]

No conversion for mm to percentage. Use a ruler or deflection gauge and adjust the percentage to get the measurements in the book.

Hi BD- thank you for all your videos! Very helpful to a newcomer. Do you have any preferences on setup of the LCD screen that you have found work better for sunlight? Thanks.

[@BDTennessee]

I use 90% backlight. Then modify the high viz template. I would try the default hi viz first.

[@proudneanderthal1843]

Do BNF templates contain high /low rates settings already or is this something I have to set up?

[@BDTennessee]

Correct, high and low rates are programmed same as owners manual.However on eflite planes its standard to be High 100 and Low 70....

[@salinecountyclay8199]

Hey BD! Can you leave the battery for this transmitter fully charged? How does it work to store the transmitter for a few weeks of no use? Can't seem to find anyone who is addressing this question. Thanks man.

[@BDTennessee]

I have stored mine on lower voltage and full charge without issues. Radio can be used until drains down to like 3.8 and left there if you dont want sitting at full charge.

[@eddiebewes2506]

HI, can you please tell me how to use the model name because on my NX6 radio the system is totally different to yours, all the letters are in boxes which I can not get out of and I have got to a point of frustrated that I feel like putting the radio in the bin. Eddie

If you have the dark colors,its the "Legacy" pallette. Recent update causes the letters not to show up highlighted. System settings > Pallette Settings > Change to Spektrum Template

Sounds like the Safe is assigning to a 2 position switch now. Did you pick the NX direct wire template in the options?

[@MrBlompod]

Loading models onto your new NX10 from your old DX transmitter every model has to be flown and re-trimmed correct?

[@BDTennessee]

Paul,that was a issue before the newest update. Issue was resolved with 3.05 so now trims will transfer to your new NX transmitter.

Do yo know how to change that pic on the main menu of the plane you want once its all set up. Im looking for a picture of a twin engine plane to put for my twin otter. do you know how to change that picture?

Looking for suggestions about Frame Rate. The NX8 has a hybrid setting, but no apparent way to select 22ms vs 11ms for the individual servos. Would appreciate any help. Thank you!!

[@BDTennessee]

Hybrid mode works without issue. Only change to 11ms if servos are compatible.

[@horsth9566]

@@BDTennessee Thank you for your continued interest and support. Selecting Hybrid shows several servos at 22ms and others at 11ms, but across several planes the "selection" is always identical. There seems to be no way to alter the selection based on the actual servos installed.

Hi bd,just ordered the nx 10 radio and after looking at all the reviews I’m wondering if it is still worth buying one or have all the issues with the radio been addressed

[@BDTennessee]

Its still in the early stages of updates.However i havent had any issue with my radio and others i help with at my local field. Only 2 current issues to note. You need to download and install update 3.05 before installing update 3.06 Secondly, the BNF templates arent configured correctly and the names are missing. I would proceed and get NX10!
