Versus DLG transmitter mixes

[@gsansoucie]

I'm also new to DLG and have a Spektrum DX6 transmitter, this video helped understand the modes and the various settings I need to consider for each mode. Thanks.

[@prettyflowers9956]

Thank you for this. Gives great insight for a new comer to the DLG world.

[@AndrewNewton]

+PrettyFlowers Excellent, good to hear it.

[@tripplorenzo8452]

I guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@albertlevi2529]

@Tripp Lorenzo Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@shilohchase658]

@Albert Levi Yup, I have been watching on FlixZone for months myself :D

[@tripplorenzo8452]

@Albert Levi thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!

Alex Paulsen, I'm using the Hobby King 6ch Rx with the case removed and replaced with heat shrink so it fits.

[@garryperrin2408]

Thanks, it’s these little things in life that add up🤠

I've had a chance to try out the aileron and rudder mix combo. With both control surfaces moving the same way the plane turns sharper but the nose does tend to dip. You can compensate with up elevator. I'll try it the other way and post my thoughts. I did start using the rudder for turns in windy conditions and had a lot of luck making sharp, snappy flat turns (with oppose aileron to compensate). It proved an effective means of turning the plane in rough conditions.

Thanks for the video it helps with the setup as I'm new to DLG THANKS again

[@tamburavadak]

Nice catch.

[@ceradinimp]

Thanks for the video. I set up my Polaris almost exactly the same. One thought, when you have rudder mixed with ailerons, shouldn't the rudder move in the opposite direction than the turning aileron? Opposite rudder in a turn helps keep the nose up in the turn and makes for a smoother, flatter turn. I think your set up will exacerbate the nose dipping in an aileron turn. Going to test my theory and report back. Thanks Again.

[@AndrewNewton]

Interesting, I have never thought of using opposite rudder. Wouldn't it add drag? Let us know how it goes.

[@jstjern1]

Traditionally, ailerons move an equal amount up and down. The up-aileron on the inside of the turn causes much less drag than the down-aileron on the outside. Then the nose does not move into the turn, but stays up, and the plane moves into what is called "side-slip". In side slip the fuselage moves somewhat sideways through the air, inducing additional drag. I use it for landings sometimes (i.e. aileron stick righ, rudder left, keeping wings level). Anyway, to compensate for this adverse-yaw, rudder is used to force the nose to lead the flight path, minimizing drag (but only as long as ailerons are deflected). Elevation/nose-up is done using the elevator, not the rudder (unless you do a knife-edge in 3D flight).

[@jstjern1]

Now, there's another way to avoid using much rudder, called aileron differential. Two paths: if you mount the aileron servos with the horns angled forward on both wings when the servo is centered, you create mechanical differential: the aileron moving up will move more up than the one moving down. How much differential you need is a trial-and-error thing, but assume about 50% (half down vs full up). This can be a problem on a DLG, where you want flaperons to deflect far down on landing, so most people install servos with the arms perpendicular to the wing, and dial in differential in the radio. The differential can then be suppressed as needed, i.e. when flaperons are deployed.

[@jstjern1]

I use TX programmed differential on my DLG, and cancel it on landing.

[@ceradinimp]

jstjern1 differentials is something I've meaning to get to. Thanks for the expantion, I will try the mix on my next trip out.

[@tariqyounus3880]

Also guide model type GLIDER or normal fixing ?? To select

[@AndrewNewton]

I have lots of videos on glider steup

[@tariqyounus3880]

@@AndrewNewton thanks for your kind reply. Just pls guide I am using acro mode or glider mode for DLG?? I am new to this .hope u point out Thanks

[@skinnyguy3184]

Hay andrew, could you do a video of how to setup a dlg launch mode on a tx16s, i am still very new to opentx having come from spektrum, all im trying to achieve is the launch mode with 2-3mm up elevator and 3-5mm rudder as i only have a 2ch dlg. Cheers mate

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes, good subject for a video.

[@skinnyguy3184]

@@AndrewNewton wicked mate, looking forward to it 👍

[@Danburdick-lm5xt]

just picked up a versus and read you need to cut down the boom , am asumming you would trim the part that fits in the fuse but by how much??? hope your getting this

[@AndrewNewton]

50mm from the tail end. Here is the full build kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSsdZR-n56gfbs

[@tariqyounus3880]

Also pls guide what's smartie part board ? What's the use ?

[@AndrewNewton]

It allows firmware flashing. More information on the Smartieparts site.

[@tariqyounus3880]

Dear Andrew Could u pls guide me . How I fix servo on receiver ?? Or any pictures of receiver can u share me ,? Which firm ware you are using with turnigy 9x ?

[@AndrewNewton]

Look for my RC Basics playlist, then you can ask more specific questions

[@francois5623]

hello and thank you for your great video. is it possible to share the eepe?

[@AndrewNewton]

eepe for the V2 DLG here newtonairlines.blogspot.com.au/search/label/eepe

thanks a lot andrew for you help

[@factdesignbr]

Love your channel keep it up

[@AndrewNewton]

Many thanks, I will

[@factdesignbr]

@@AndrewNewton thank you for the reply. After updating the firmware can you mix any switch to do whatever you want? How about a variometer with a frsky module on it? Can I also swap the two position switches to 3 positions? Thanks

[@AndrewNewton]

Better to buy a Taranis Q X7, but you can do any mixing and switch assigning you want with OpenTX. Dont know about vario telemetry with the FrSKY module, may be possible..

[@dansaada]

Tanx alot, but if you have a photo of the mixing page on the seting it will be better for understand how you make this mixes. Tanx.

[@AndrewNewton]

דן סעדה Good idea, I'll put a picture up somewhere.

[@dansaada]

Iwill be very glad if you can take a picture and send me, im realy need help:) [e-mail]

Are you using a stock Turnigy 8ch receiver?

Where did you get that DLG.

[@AndrewNewton]

Hobby King

[@Helicopterpilot16]

If only it was still available... But there's plenty of DLG manufactures around.

[@adam001]

good video, i have a slightly different set up, i have put up a vid on my channel if you are interested, cheers,
