There are many videos about OpenTX and FrSky radios on YouTube and other video services.

One good documentation resource is at OpenTX University.

I will continue to document my efforts at learning and using OpenTX.

Aileron is the top right G switch in the top right corner. Rudder...

This shows the mixes with the Throttle Cut on the F switch pushed forward. 0020.png Clicking on the Cut brings up the dialog to change the parameters. 0021.png Here I have changed the cut for when the F switch is pulled back. 0022.png Now I start on editing the elevator 0023.png Here the Curve is ch...

Here is what the initial model looks like. 0013.png This is the main model setting screen. 0015.png This model initial only has 4 inputs. 0016.png These are the mixes. You can see that Channel 5 is the other aileron servo with a weighting of -100. This reverses that aileron input. On Channel 3 the S...

These are the rest of thee new model wizard pages I walked through. You have options on things like no aileron, single servo, or dual aileron servos, and what channels they are on. I always use dual aileron servos when I can so I can use differential to straighten out any roll issues like a barrel r...

I have downloaded the images that Gary James created and added them to my DropBox location for sharing model images. It is at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sm5xb9wgyfznd03/AAAcx3pDgMo3KRMHoDkLOsrVa?dl=0 Anyone can view these, but if you want to upload or edit, I need to add you as an Editor/Contributor...

After getting the Tx connected to the computer, it is possible to modify all of the models, radio setup, the firmware of the Tx, and anything on the transmitter. One of the great things is that you can see EVERYTHING on the computer. You can fully backup the radio on files on your computer. And you ...

If you are going to use a FrSky radio or any radio using in the OpenTX transmitter operating system, you are going to need a computer do do very much. Windows is the most fully supported computer operating system with support for the OpenTX Companion software and many of the FrSky devices. Windows 1...

Cindy and I went to eat on Friday night, drop off a shipment of cab-o-sil going to Amazon, get some more Bankers Boxes, shop at Guitar Centers and a few other errands. When we were on the way home, my air indicator for my right rear time came on and the tire went to flat pretty quickly. So the night...

The thread Tutorials for Stabilization and Telemetry on Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec, FrSky Taranis X9D, and more is going to get too complicated and jumbled up if I do all of the different stabilization and telemetry systems in one place. So I'm creating this thread for the FrSky and OpenTX information....

As I mentioned in another thread, I have set up a DropBox folder for sharing radio setups. There is now an OTX file shared at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/40bf9sany35m4qf/AABXQe4tgVyYzGZSg365v8Jsa?dl=0 This setup for Q500 and Q40 was created by Scott Hartman (and possibly others contributed). It uses ...

In case you missed this in the "Tutorials..." thread. I have a 1TB DropBox account. (Maybe even more space than that) I have created a folder for sharing FrSky setups at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x5geas2udj1umno/AABtWLw-hQrpReI-Y_tLcqUua?dl=0 Everyone has read access. Only people I add will have Ed...

The switch assignments are: SA - Dual Rates SC - Flaps SG - Gear SH - Reset Position You can get an OTX file with a single ...

On my 50cc Pilatus PC-6 Porter, I'm putting in a 50cc equivalent electric motor. It is the Turnigy RotoMax 50cc Size Brushless Outrunner Motor . While the HobbyKing web site says it maxes out at 10 LiPo cells, the box and instructions say that it can handle 12 cells in series. It is rated at 120 amp...
