Duuuude - I just downloaded your radio config file and it worked on my TX16s running EdgeTX in the first go via the companion app. Thanks for saving a lot of time for me. Much appreciated.
But... FPV always looks exactly the same. Quad-copter, fixed wing, kite, bike, yacht, car, Gromit the dog's collar... There's only ever one V, and it's always the bloomin' same. :-) Been there, done that. So... why bother again? It's what you see every time. A forward view. Yawn. Is it something to do with a love of playing computer games? Seems to be a peculiarly modern obsession...
What a fantastic video...many thanks for figuring this out for the the rest of us :) I now have a full understanding on what needs to be accomplished. Sadly , I have a Spektrum DX8 and am having difficulty with the mixes etc. Would you be able to provide any help or guidance for a Spektrum System? Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Hi. i know this is an old video but have you tried using a flight controller and inav? thinking about it for telemetry and fpv, also would it be ok to use 4s batteries? thanks.
well shoot, I can't seem to get this together for my Taranis X9E tray radio. I got confused trying to set up the mixers, and wound up having to reset everything. I don't know how to proceed, other than buying the para mixer from Hacker. I'm lost and about to give up =/
Hi lee.. Can you tell me why iv got two different servo motions..? My left brake(servo) is a full movement,as you explained in your set up vid..! the tip just above the flybar,and pull on the break and it pulls down to the lipo horizontal, which is correct! But my left servo does'nt seem to have the same movement length..iv tried trimming but all that does is trim!! Not extend the motion?
HI Lee... Bloody Great vid and link for setting up Taranis for the H-king :-) But a quick question? What mode should i be in to Bind my x4r receiver? Im not Binding for some reason! Plus im only getting a SOLID green/SOLID red
Painless360 I’m having problems trying to work this out,I think I flashed my Q7 so I could get D16 for my other crafts a year or so ago with the X4r receivers...and the new X4r is LBT,But I cant get the thing to bind :-(
Great video as usual. I do not plan to buy one of these but paramotors are really interesting. Can the elevon program be used to set this up easily? Just curious.
Thanks - nice setup on OTX ! I am still worried on my part - controlling altitude on descent with throttle is pretty standard - BUT - it will require a lot of mental preparation NOT to use Elevator stick in flight (especially in turns - but just for flare) .. P.S. I am considering to put left and right brake controls on left stick also - did something similar before - needed to retrain my left thumb (for proper Rudder use) after flying with one "yank and bank" model for long time .. Then only full brake/flare will be on right stick - might be a little easier to adapt - still undecided on this - what do you think? Very excited about this gadget - I thought I already saw most of it - love the RC modeling!
Just assign the elevator so it's only active with a switch. When flying around disable elevator brake Completely and when you want to land just hit the switch on approach and use you elevator to flare. That's how I'm going to set mine up. At least until I get used to flying it
I have just set up my HK Paramotor using a Spektrum TX and a servo-mixer between the RX and servos. I decided to put 70% expo on the Elevator function so that the brake effect will not come in unless you really haul back. Still waiting for decent weather to maiden.
@@mikegriffiths7487 Thank you! Another good idea to consider! Since correction movements in turns are small already - hmm - now I have something to play with those few days waiting for mine .. ;-)
@@Painless360 cant thank you enough for this video. I gave up trying to program my futaba 14sg and decided to use my frsky x-lite that I only fly quads with on sbus. Everything worked as per your setup vid. Just waiting for some calm weather. Thanks very much and keep up the great work. Ray
Hi I'm using 2.2.4 Companion and I can make no sense of your set up I can do the curves but upon going to mixes it turns to worms I go from a four channel to a three channel setup???
@@Painless360 Exactly that makes two of us at least I did actually see my mistake I expected the details in the mixer part to change as a factor of doing the curves. it has taken some 6 hours for me to realise that I had to put the numbers in etc. Forgive me but I follow instructions to the letter and I am not good at seeing the obvious especially when to me it's not. I was trained as an instructor and it was made very plain to me that just because some one has for example a screwdriver in his or her hand doesn't mean they know what it is or indeed for. I am now enjoying a single malt basking in the warm glow of success cheers. oops TX is a Taranis Plus and with respect you do not say put in the percentages required you do say we have 100% to me that means it was magic
Servo right up and left down, left up and right down, brake left and right down, it's so okay of the positions of my servos I am new in paragliding my setup it's so, is this korrekt so
Hi. I am not sure how i do a the .otx file you uploaded to dropbox. Please could you upload a model.bin file for me, of your HK Paramotor setting? Thank you. This will hopefully get me out flying my new paramotor. Keith.
So sorry to bother you again. I tried to follow your linked video, but you opened i file from the 1st radio, and copied it to the 2nd radio. Not opened a .otx file from the computer that will not highlight. But after trying for two weeks on and off, i still can’t open your .otx file in companion. Your .otx file downloaded and saved to my computer. Open companion is running on computer. My taranis is connected to computer. I can read my models direct from taranis ok. If i try to, restore from backup, open, drag, copy and past to the next available model in my model list on the screen, it won’t let me. If i try any of the above in companion, it won’t let me open the file because the .otx file is not highlighted, it can only open extensions ,eepe, bin, hex files. Not .otx files. Please help. Very frustrated now. Just can’t do it. Thanks, Keith.
I'm not an OpenTx user, but from what I understood about the mixes shown it appears that you will have no turning ability when at full flare (i.e. full back on the elevator stick). I'm trying to get my head around this so I can finish my tentative mixes in a Spektrum Tx.
@@Painless360 Thank you for clarifying that for me. I should be good to go, once my LiPo arrives; however, I might wait for your video part 3 before committing to a launch ;-).
I'm having issues setting up my Airtronics G10 Radio to my Paramotor... Does anyone have the Radio and Servo setup for an Airtronics and or be able to direct me to this info .. Thanks in advance for you help.
I have set mine up now and as you am waiting for a decent day to test fly. One thing that I would like to raise is, I was struggling with the 3 curves on my jr12x and gave up. I set the model as delta and just turned the travel adjustments down to zero and It now works no differently to using curves and a lot simpler to set up. I'm only raising this as I don't want to be caught out by something ?

Pretty interesting setup, Lee! 😃
Looking forward to the flight video!
Thanks for all you do my friend, and looking forward to next review!
FPV on it would be amazing!

Thanks very much for these video's they have been immensely helpful.
Amazing info and direction. Too bad its useless for me since I don't have that rxtx set. Any chance you have this set up on a FLYSKY FS-i6X ?
Does it make sense to add a extra servo on s knob to control A lines for speed trim?
Hi. i know this is an old video but have you tried using a flight controller and inav? thinking about it for telemetry and fpv, also would it be ok to use 4s batteries? thanks.
I've not used INAV on something like this. Happy flying!
What are the least expensive Taranis transmitter/receiver combos I can buy? I'll only be using this radio for the paramotor. Thanks, Sam.
Check out my reviews playlist and my Kit Picks 2020 video for my choices. Best of luck
YOU OLNY NEED ONE ALIERON CURVE - TO GET THE SECOND CURVE JUST USE "!CURVE" ON TARANIS X9D+

Hi I have an IX12 spektrum and I can not seem to tune it on my paramotor. Can you help me?
WHAT REMOTE DO YOU USE, I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BUY ONE
Sounds like you're new to this. Check out the Kit Picks 2020 video on the channel for the radios I would pick now..
@@Painless360, thanks so much. Yes, I am new to this...😬

No idea. I'd swap the servo connections over to rule out the radio, setup and Rx.. best of luck!
Painless360 Thanks for the reply...I worked it out in the end, i tweaked the outputs and mixers..! works perfect!! Canopy next 👍
Do you have a video on how to program it on the radio and not in the computer?
No, same process. Best of luck!
HI Lee... Bloody Great vid and link for setting up Taranis for the H-king :-) But a quick question? What mode should i be in to Bind my x4r receiver? Im not Binding for some reason! Plus im only getting a SOLID green/SOLID red
D16 but you'll need to make sure it has the same firmware as the radio (LBT or international)..
Painless360 I’m having problems trying to work this out,I think I flashed my Q7 so I could get D16 for my other crafts a year or so ago with the X4r receivers...and the new X4r is LBT,But I cant get the thing to bind :-(
Is this set up using 1 Ail servo using Y or two air. Can't seem to get it right
Two separate outputs for the servos as shown in the video. Best of luck!
Thnx now i know that i was right on it thnx 😎 cheers
How do you import the otx settings please.

Not sure, that wouldn't stop movement in one direction.. Happy flying!
@@Painless360 Oh right! thanks
is it possible to 3d print this so that we made it without spend 160$? i alwready have motor servo...
yes there is , but you better be a good pilot, first fail takeoff and the 3D print will shatter.
$160 is the cheapest I've seen compared to the others that start at 400 to $900
Thanks - nice setup on OTX !

I don't have one of those radios but I guess if it will support curves then it'll work..

That's correct. That's how it is on a full sized version - brake lines do both. There is more travel than you need so you'll be fine
