Would you prefer commentary? I wasn't sure it was necessary.

Nice tutorial.

@@Hotwire_RCTrix Yes, commentary is greatly appreciated, If people are to learn something, then it's hard to do so trying to follow a mouse and menus one can not easily see, and narration will let you throw in much more detail than you can show in a short time. It also allows you to make analogies, point out possible problems, do's and don'ts... and paint a much more thorough picture, for better understanding. Other than that you are obviously pretty advanced at it than I. I've been trying to get with FreeCad for over a decade, but it's not very intuitive as for the navigation controls and some other stuff with the UI, but I have seen what some can do with it, so it must be very capable to those that can wrap their mind around it. A corporation forked it and made some UI changes, and I heard it's quite good, and much easier to use, but they are also charging for extended use and features. It's called "Ondsel".

@@Bob-of-Zoid No problem, give me a few days. I did these because Draft workbench is a bit confusing and somewhat frustrating but very powerful. FreeCAD is a bit all over the place but it has most of the ability of proprietary software.

@@Hotwire_RCTrix Well, you get no time limit from me, just a suggestion for the future. I still have ways to go before I get to "Lofting" for now, but I will have use for it, given what I need to do with it, and I need to draft for a wood cutting CNC, but just finding a CNC (At an affordable price) I can control with Linux is not an easy feat, with many of them being up to no good for making their shit run on Windows only, and with some proprietary wedge shoved in sideways to make sure their machine runs on their mutilation of what should be standards based software, and nothing else, some going as far as to lock down repair parts availability, and requiring subscriptions to use the software their machine is tied to, so that even though you bought the machine (are not leasing or renting it), they want to still control you to use their "Ecosystem" which has just become a word meaning "Get all up in your business and fleece you"!

Sorry I didn't get back to you. It was very unclear what your problem was. Really the point was that sketcher repair tool does not work from within the edit, only from outside. In saying that it may have changed again in version 0.22.

Hi Ron It's ages since I made this video but it's likely better if you download TX Companion and play, even if you don't use to program your transmitter. This video is about logical switches and chaining the logic for various output. The audio is necessary to keep track of the logic your TX is set to. If you slow the video down, it's easier to follow, as I think I made it to fast.

It's a longtime since I played with open tx but I don't recall an option to allocate telemetry values to a variable. It is possible that a script could work.

It's silting up and has been all my life. Dry sand blows into the wet area and settles. Slowly filling it up. It's risen 2 meters over the last 60 years.

Blade that is correct

Yes that should have been curve 2 for the ailerons. Good to see someone paying attention. I'll fix it so no one has to do constant barrel rolls.

It's an old video but you're right. A voice over would be much better.

I wouldn't expect the motor would balance well after. Some fixes aren't worth the trouble

Some New Bells (outer part of the motor, containing the Magnets) can be found at HobbyKing.com. Hope this helps, but a lot of times it's not even worth the prices they charge (nearly the price of a NEW Motor...!), and it most likely would not be balanced...! (Just my "2-CENTS" worth, from an Old Fart...!). Haha!

I know I'm no hand model, I had really bad eczema as a kid. The steroid treatments recked the skin on my hands. I hope the video helps save you a few bucks. Cheers.

Old hands are slow hands, Old hands are wise hands

Banggood sells shafts! About a Buck each, and they even come with flats for the Prop-Saver attachment. I just bought 3 of them for my 2208 and 2212 motors.

@@MSmith-jf5wo link please?

@@noamamir0942 Both sizes (3.17 and 3.00 mm) can be found at Banggood.com, under the Aircraft Parts section. Or you might find them at Hobby King. (I bought both sizes from Banggood, along with extra bearings and clips, for less than $10 bucks with Free Shipping to the U.S.). I don't recommend pounding the new shaft back in the Bell Housing, as it's really easy to have it misaligned like that...! And, make sure the shaft is aligned properly with the flats, for the grub screws!

Its not essential to use curves but it can be the useful. For example expo on pitch and roll can give you fine control in the center while not restricting the total rotation speed. Most flight controllers now have expo option but not the same choice as you can get from OpenTx config. You can build in a flat into a curve so smal movements are ignored arround stick center. You can switch on and of the effect of the curve while flying. and so on...

RONALDO AMARAL RC I'm happy you have found this useful. Cheers

Sorry Ronaldo I missread your question. Throttle curves are not really useful unless you have too much power and can't hover. Then you use the single expo to create small initial thr output. Basically a gradual increase in the slope of the curve. Hope this helps.

I have loads if you are in NSW else check foam wholesalers. Half planks usuall cost about $50, which is a lot of EPP.

The OpenTx site has two versions of companion. I still like the old version which is 2.0.x This video was done for that version. I expect there won't be to many more updates for this version.

Sorry Bill I'm allergic to microphones. My latest video has some dialogue but it took me 2 days to get it right. I'll never be a movie star, dam!

+ElectraRC Thanks ElectraRC. Its nice to get feedback. Now I know a voice-over is preferred, I'll add voice-over in the future. I don't generally care about the talking in these kind of videos but i will take your advice. Maybe redo this one, too. Cheers.

Sorry for the slow reply. You should get 2 USB drives when you connect the Rx. The software uses these to write the parameters to the Tx. Firmware update is different the driver that comes with the Open Tx software works this part. If you have corrupted the SD card then non of this will work. Download the the basic files and folders as in the video and over write the sd card with this image. Then go back and start again. Always unmount the sd card drives before you remove it from the PC. Cheers.

Check dfu-util.exe path in configuration. Check Radio type. Check SD card structure path.

Hotwire Hey, thanks for the reply. You should have asked me first if I figured it out, lol. I did. It had something to do with the wrong driver having been installed, or that two drivers can't be installed at the sand tune. Something like that... I already forgot, ha ha. Anyhow, thanks for the reply!!!

Cheers Hugh.
