Sport Cub S: Part 2, Binding to Spektrum DX-6!

[@brucegelhay9209]

Wow, one of the best tutorials for binding a DX6 transmitter that helped me get back into RC flying after 10 years. Thank you

[@ProjectKing]

I’m glad I could help you out!!

[@StephenRosenbach]

THE BEST! ***THIS*** is how you do a tutorial! No extra fluff, you get right to the point for each step of the way. I followed you exactly, and everything is working great! Thank you so much!

[@ProjectKing]

Glad it worked and thank you for the compliment!

[@jimtro4403]

Wow!!! You are the man!!! I am totally new to this hobby and another video had said this is not a beginner transmitter but with your help I think I will be OK! I really appreciate the instruction!!! Happy flying!

[@ProjectKing]

+jame Tro You are welcome! Glad you are enjoying your new hobby! You will love the DX-6. You were wise to buy a quality radio.

[@nilssplitter5387]

ProjectKing but 1 thing ... My DX6 fall down and the hold stick and other sticks on the front break :( ... And sorry for my bad englisch im german and i am not the best 😊 have a great day and great video mate :D

[@robertcox5384]

I just got a Carbon Cub and a DX6. This video definitely helped explain some of the features of the DX6 and the process of binding. Thank you good sir!!

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome! Thank you for the comments!

[@zmanpianoman]

Thanks for the set up video. Better than the written instructions.

[@boatrvme8478]

Just got mine and have 15 or so takeoffs and landing that were uneventful. This was my first time flying an rc plane. Fun little plane to learn on.

[@Skyepuncher]

Hey Buddy. Thanx for the video. Worked perfect. ( I got out of the hobby for awhile, and binding this plane was WAY diff than I remembered) I know the video is almost 4 yrs old, but it helped me get started again. Happy flying. Scott

[@ProjectKing]

Glad it helped!!! It’s a great hobby! Glad you are back at it. Thanks for the kind words.

[@georgedougherty2572]

Just used this video to set-up a Sport Cub S2 to my new DX8e, all works, never looked at the manual. Thanks.

[@ProjectKing]

Glad it worked! And thank you for the comment!

[@fishalcoholic]

Thank you for the straight forward guidance. My DX8G2 needed me to power up the transmitter first (for some reason) then plug in flight battery. Bind was successful.

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome!

[@Brian-ff7tw]

Thanks alot! I was able to setup my Cub S2 and DX6e for my kid! Flight training begins today!

[@ProjectKing]

That’s great! Glad to help! Have fun!

[@PokySan]

Fantastic guide, easy pleasing explanation everything a DIY guide should be!

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@PhilBender612]

Thank you well explained. I just got my Sport Cub s BNF along with the dx6 and you're right they really do tell you very little in the instructions so thanks again!

[@ProjectKing]

Glad to help out

[@scottvaughan5238]

I just set up my DX6 the way you explained and it works can’t wait to try it out in field

[@ProjectKing]

Scott Vaughan Glad it worked for you! Happy flying!

[@miked8022]

Thank you! A picture is worth a thousand words.

[@Jakefrc]

Thank you! This was super helpful. I followed along with my DX8 and it worked perfectly

[@ProjectKing]

Glad it worked for you!!

[@fraggrenade1433]

Brilliant video. Really helped me out binding my dx6e to my new plane! I’m a beginner and the instructions were super hard. You really helped me 😊 I have liked and subscribed 😊

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad I could help. Thank you for the subscription!

[@FORDEVR]

Just what I needed. Had it in safe mode and couldn’t figure out how to get my DX6e to set a switch to shut it off. Thanks!!!

[@cnbsdad]

Your video was very detailed. You helped me program my radio very easy. Thank you so much.

[@ProjectKing]

+cnbsdad Glad I could help! Thank you for the kind words!

[@1950superdave]

Don't forget to set the throttle cut on your H switch on the bottom right front of your transmitter. It keeps you from getting your fingers cut, if you hit the throttle or almost run it off your table, (or into something) like your video. Lol Been there, dune that. The bigger the motor, the greater your chance of acquiring stitches. Liked the video.

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you for the tip!!

[@Mdelbeck1]

Hi PK, Got the Cub S for X-mas and today my Spektrum DX6 came in! (What a great Tx! feels great in my hands! Not cheap like many others I've owned). Anyway, I'm somewhat new to the hobby and your instructions were fantastic! I Only had to pause the video a couple times and had everything programmed , assigned and bound (binded?) within 4-5 minutes! Planning to fly the cub in our local gym this weekend so thank you for the very easy instructions! Well done! - Mark D. -

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you were able to get the radio set-up and ready to fly! A gym will be a great place to fly the Cub. The beginner mode is fantastic. Have fun!

[@HAWAII-uh7sc]

Thank you for all the tips. Aloha

[@aaronstrom16]

thank you this works with the DX 6e also...same flight modes can be programmed the same way. This Sport Cub S was my first rc airplane and now ive just received the UMX Timber from horizon hobby. Still waiting for a descent day to fly it. The weather here in Toledo, OR has not been flying weather at all.

[@ProjectKing]

That's great! You are welcome!

[@MrMightybull]

Vielen Dank für das hilfreiche Video 👍👌

[@ProjectKing]

Gern geschehen!

[@Voculus]

You sir, are a godsend!

[@ProjectKing]

Well thank you very much! (0:

[@daveo544]

Thank you so much for your easy to follow guide to set this up. Very much appreciated!! Just what I was looking for 😊

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome!

[@Ruckster20]

Thanks for making this video!

[@chevyprerunner1]

Hey Project King, Great vid it really helped me out. i just picked up a DX6 and this Sport Cub S and can't wait to give it a fly. Subbed and liked cheers!

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you! The Cub and DX6 are a great combo! Wonderful to fly on a lazy summer evening when there's no wind. I think you'll enjoy your new aircraft. Great trainer!

[@mbrewer69]

HEY THANKS, U SAVED ME SOME TIME ALSO I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT THE FLOATS THAT FIT ON THE UMX CARBON CUB FIT THE SPORT CUB S.

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome and thank you for the info!

[@toddedson5782]

Thank you buddy that was super helpful and everything is working.

[@chrissofpv3017]

Thanks sir👍... I'm going to change my rtf sport club s V2 to my new X6i transmitter(from the tx that it came with 😉)

[@ProjectKing]

Thanks for the comments!

[@rcpete7055]

Do you have to set SAFE+ up..??

[@stephanerheaume2435]

hey thanks for those instructions. its my first BNF plane so i was a little confused how to set the specktrum.

[@jpsalis]

this is the exact video I was looking for... how did you do it?!

[@ProjectKing]

+Joseph S (tntexplodes101) I read your mind. Lol! Glad I could help

[@collinhannagan1493]

Thx for the help I have the same radio and this helped a lot

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome!

[@Vassilika1]

2:46 it's for the floats 🙂

[@markarmour4256]

Great video, thank you for helping me out.

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome!

[@targetoz5470]

Thank you so much for the video, super appreciate it! Just one question, what is the Aux1 for when you had to reverse the setting? Here in Australia my dx6 is set up with the throttle on right would that aux1 be for that perhaps?

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome!

[@scottfirman]

I used your video to st mine up, and sadly it never rebooted again after that. Someone knew the E - Bay transmitter I got was defective( I found loose screws inside the radio) I ended up eating the $118 I paid for that radio. Its now a parts radio. I ordered a brand new Dx6 gen3 and will use your video on re programming it. I was going to register my transmitter when I found out it was DOA on my E - Bay " WIN". No more used transmitters for me. I was not happy concerning that situation, but thats life.

[@ProjectKing]

Sorry to hear about the bad radio! I hope the new one works for you okay. Thank you for the comments

[@thelongestday64]

Great video! Much appreciated!

[@ProjectKing]

Glad to help

[@computerillustration]

Great video thanks! Saved me a lot of sweat I hope, as haven’t tried it yet. Just a question, you say the manual says “reverse auxiliary 1”. Is that the plane’s manual or radio manual as I haven’t found that instruction yet? Mine is a Sport Cub S2 model and a DX8e. Cheers A

[@ProjectKing]

I can’t remember. Sorry. Probably plane manual.

[@computerillustration]

@@ProjectKing No problem sorted it by mooching around on the internet

[@andrikvlogs]

It’s for FPV System it shows it on the BOX

[@ProjectKing]

Cool!

[@travis9144]

Great video! Do you still do these? I can't find how to bind the UMX Sport Cub S2 to a Dx8 with a battery warning.

[@ProjectKing]

Sorry I’m not sure about how to do that

[@Syam.Bhupathi]

Very helpful...Thanks for the video

[@ProjectKing]

You are welcome! Glad I could help!

[@missionofisaiah]

As you did well for Nano QX you did great again. Thanks! You are great teacher much better than the the guy who wrote the manual. Do you have any binding video for helicopters such as Blade cps or 230S?

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate it greatly. Unfortunately I do not have any videos about helis. Maybe I need to buy one so I can make a video! (0: I will have a new video about loading updated software into DX6 and using new multicopter feature on DX6.

[@bonquiquihgii6836]

thank you! I have one question with the beginner, intermediate and free fly how do you change from one another? it seems like I'm stuck on free fly. thank you great vid!

[@ProjectKing]

+BonQuiQui HGII You select the flight modes using the 3 position toggle switch on the left front top face of the controller.

[@bonquiquihgii6836]

ProjectKing Thank you i got it figured out.. I really love this type of video. I'm not sure how many planes you own but you should do a vid like this for each :)

[@mbrewer69]

your welcome

[@scottfirman]

Should you set up all your peramiters first before binding or does it matter? I was told any time you change something in your transmitter, you should automatically rebind the aircraft. That way everything is programmed as needed.

[@ProjectKing]

I would bind aircraft then set-up parameters. All changes to parameters are done inside radio. You want to be connected to plane when you make changes so that you can monitor affect of changes to servo travel, etc etc. Of course you do this on ground with prop off! Lol. Great question

[@hishamvt528]

Does sports cub support with dx6e transmitter

[@ProjectKing]

Not 100% sure but I think so. Any bind and fly controller should work

[@MrFerangel2000]

tks mate, but i cant find the part 1, please?...

[@ProjectKing]

Here ya go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKPEn2yNj8SSd9U

[@MrFerangel2000]

You the man fellow. Tks

[@Tony-ow3if]

Very Cool

[@jerryhillman4302]

It is for mounting the floats.

[@ProjectKing]

Thank you! I thought that maybe the case. (0:

[@swanandb]

Is the plane made of foam

[@ProjectKing]

Yes

[@jaybird1377]

I have a j-3 cub from H Hobbie ,can I set that up exactly like my sport cub with D switch being. beginner and so on?

[@ProjectKing]

+Jay Bird13 I believe so if your plane has similar features.

[@Rayxl1]

I've been offered a used sport cub s that has been bound to another transmitter. Would you know if I could rebind it to mine?

[@ProjectKing]

+Rayxl1 What is your transmitter? Brand and model

[@Rayxl1]

Thank you for replying. Its the spektrum DX6.

[@ProjectKing]

+Rayxl1 Yes it should work no problem. Just follow the instructions for the cub to bind or re bind.

[@Rayxl1]

Thank you. That's nice to know. I didn't get that plane but I'll look for another second hand one.

[@lw216316]

what is the purpose to reverse AUX1? What does that do?

[@ProjectKing]

Without studying I think it’s to make the switch position match the manual.

[@lw216316]

I figured it out. Imagine a light switch on the wall. Down - light off,, up- light on. If I reverse the switch - then down = light on and up = light off. So it lets you control how you want the switch to work. For example - if you want to use the button to be a panic switch - then normally you would want to push / hold the button to begin panic recovery (go to beginner mode) and release the button to return to previous mode (for example - intermediate or beginner). If you did not reverse the aux1 then it would default to being in panic mode (beginner mode) at start up and would stay in that mode and not let you switch to intermediate or advanced mode. So if you want to use the bind button as your panic switch then you probably want to reverse the function of aux1 - otherwise you would have to keep holding down the button in order to fly in intermediate or advanced mode. I would prefer to have my panic option on a 2 way switch in a position on the transmitter similar to the ready to fly transmitter that came with my RTF plane I bought. I have gotten used to it that way. I can use it quickly without having to fumble or look for it when I need it. I only have 1-2 seconds to recover before I crash. I have set up my new DX6E to use switch F for the panic switch - and to have it be in panic recovery when I push it in the same direction that the beginner mode is on my 3 way switch (position 0). That way they are consistent - to avoid confusion. I use switch B for my 3 mode switch (beginner =0, inter=1, adv=2). B is close to the throttle and I can get to it quickly without looking. It appears to me that going to panic mode is exactly the same as going to beginner mode - with one exception - if you switch to beginner mode it stays in beginner mode - but if you use the panic button - then it goes to beginner mode until you release the panic button and then returns to the mode you were in before you pressed the panic button - that would be either the beginner or intermediate mode. Personally - I prefer in a panic situation to get into beginner mode immediately and stay there until I'm ready to resume intermediate or advanced. I've had a panic situation where I was in advanced mode - got into trouble and hit the panic button and recovered and released and that puts it immediately back into advanced mode and I immediately got into trouble again (but at lower altitude because of the first problem) and then it was too low to get recovered a 2nd time. Yes, you can fly higher to try and leave room for 2 failures to recover. After a panic - I'm ready to get into safe mode then land right away and recover my nerves before flying again. I have not tested my F switch panic design yet ( it is zero degrees now and not forecast to be above freezing for about a week). Bench testing looks good - I get the correct color and flashing results on the receiver. So I'm expecting flight testing to work.

[@stuartplatt1411]

Thank you!

[@modelrc9500]

Will a dxe work?

[@ProjectKing]

I believe so. How many channels is it?

[@modelrc9500]

ProjectKing oh forgot to delete this comment, I tried and it does not work

[@litemy]

When I tried to turn right on the controller it turns me left. is there a way I can fix this?

[@ProjectKing]

+Greg Dini Yes you need to reverse servo direction in the radio setup for that control stick.

[@malo08888]

thank you sir

[@ProjectKing]

+Marcelino Lopez You are welcome! Glad to help!

[@scottfirman]

You were not set up for Safe mode. You have to hold the sticks inwards and flip the intended switch 5 times quickly.

[@ProjectKing]

Pretty sure I was

[@jaybird1377]

FYI u can't it doesn't have the ability to process the info ,it's literally bnf only,called product support

[@ProjectKing]

+Jay Bird13 Okay. Must not have the beginner mode. Only flight stability

[@LuisMunoz-il8nh]

😊👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@brandonsullivan9709]

U can put 250 models on it not 100

[@matthewbarger4592]

250 models

[@ProjectKing]

That's a lot!
