- How do you bind a transmitter to an RC plane, spektrum edition? We get asked this question all the time. We also get asked: What is BNF (bind and fly) vs RTF (ready to fly)? In this video, we teach beginner rc airplane pilots how to bind with a spectrum transmitter (Tx) to an airplane with a built in spectrum receiver (Rx). This is part of our beginner airplane series playlist. We really hope this helps! If you have video ideas please leave them in the comments!

Could you do a review on the wltoys 12423
TheRcSaylors can a Dx6 control retracts or do you need an 8. I’m looking to get the warthog that you posted and I need a new transmitter.
I bought a carbon cub s+ from someone. It will not bind with the dx6e transmitter I bought brand new. There is also no port to put a bind plug in, just 2 bare wires in the battery compartment with a factory “bind” sticker attached. What do I do? I tried to bind it outside as well. It just shows “bind failed” on the transmitter every time I try to bind it the two ways I’ve seen online, without using a bind plug... not that I could anyway because there is no plug on those bare wires to plug a bind plug into. How can I bind it to its new transmitter?
I've a p51 volantex RTF, the same as the eachine one but bigger, why can't I bind my dx6e to this, I have a bind plug , I've a spektrum 630 teciever which I could plug n play but I want the safe option , any help I'll be buzzing coz I'm trying to get Into RC But nothing's going right . Thanks in advance 👍🏻
Yeah just wondering if you knew how many channels did the excess Spektrum controller was
Your camera crew (wife) does an excellent job of showing me what I want to see. My last "flight" was with line flight, about 100 years ago. Yeah, I'm old, but because of you I just ordered a new RC plane to learn to fly. I never really learned to "fly" just crash. With all the new technology and being retired with time to enjoy life, I'm looking forward to actually accomplishing what I started to do 60 years ago. Happy New Year and I'll be waiting for your next video.
Yea I ordered the valiant lastnight off the link in a previous video I got the itch again goning to teach my kids they have been on me for a yr to get some planes think the safe flight will save my wallet
Flite test did a beginner series like this a few years ago, I’m glad to see that there are people doing updated guides that take advantage of new technologies!
Because of the two of you I have now maiden my new Artow Scout and landed it successfully and bought the DX6e and am ordering the same plane from eflight ! Thank you for introducing all of us step by step to this hobby it’s a wonderful way to spend time with like minded friends & family .. So thank you two for all your efforts I personally will purchase my planes through your links so you can keep doing the awesome work you both do for us ! ❤Thanks Guys 🙏🏼
Finally! Your the only person who has posted a straight forward video on how to bind the UMX Timber. Thank you soo much to both you and your wife for taking out the time to post this content, it is greatly appreciated.
thank you thank you thank you. We need more beginner type of videos and this one was very good.
Very useful video, thanks. I have the Timber and the 6e (from your recommendation) but have been nervous about binding -'til now. You have shown it, simply, and given me confidence to try it!
Somehow I got 2 UMX planes bound by luck and have no idea what I did. Now I have a 3rd UMX, the PT-17, and bound it BUT no safe mode. After watching your video, I feel confident and understand the binding process. Thanks much.
Now, if only I had a decent place to fly. I am learning to fly over a small pond surrounded by tall pine trees, and I have to compete with the pond denizens: alligators, otters, bald eagle, buzzards and red ant hills all over the place. It's a challenge and a little fun, when I get better it will be funner.
So I was watching this video trying to bind my plane. Bumped the throttle and ended up getting 7 stitches in my arm lol. Just got out of the doctors office lol. Love your videos by the way man!
This is a really good series of videos. You should put them into a playlist so it's all in one place. Good stuff guys:)
Excellent video, I’m sure this series will be very helpful.
Happy New Year
You continue to make my day. Haven't written much to do to my illness I need a hip replacement and my other leg is paralyzed so due to falling I haven't been flying but watching you guys make me feel like I'm actually on the field I have to make sure you my brother should improve and I may be able to go back flying after hip surgery I'm hoping to. But u guys do help so much thank you. I'm still a beginner and may be one for a while until I am able to get around, my....
This video helped me get my first plane in the air, thank you
Great video for beginners but as some others have also said depending how far you want to go in the hobby the T16 jumper pro in my opinion would be a must and in some places it's cheaper than the spectrum and one of it's best features is it will bind to pretty much any receiver where as the spectrum will only bind to spectrum receivers same with most of the other makes of tx. Keep up the great work
Very handy to know Nate, and I'm the same--takeoff and landing flaps should be DOWN on the switch, not UP, but binding that way does it automatically set up SAFE, AS3X and OFF (or "ACRO" for want of a better term) to a 3-position switch, and if so, which one? 🤔
yes. this is my qwestion aswell. Did you ever figure this out? Share info please
I would recommend the jumper t16 pro radio, which let's you bind to any rc, drones, planes, helis, boats etc...
Not a bad recommendation! I'd still really like to pick one of these up. Every time I think about getting one I get distracted and forget!
Yup, I love my Jumper as I can get virtually any BNF RC, Plus it has 150Mw output.
I would totally agree I do not own one yet but it's on my list as it's a no brainer being able to bind to pretty much anything.
I have a jumper t16 Carn, t get it to bind to the valantex RTF P51 mustang
Thanks Nat for a great video but some time can you show how to bind safe select on a new reciver please
Very informative your doing a fantastic job from a beginner
Your a good man. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge. You made me finally make my mind up too start flying planes as well as helicopters and I can tell you this 90% of the people out there never go in depth of simply don't want too share their knowledge.
Thanks bud !
RCSaylors, quick question for your guys.
i plan to install AR636 6-Channel AS3X in my FMS Kingfisher(PNP) and bind it to my spektrum 8ch tx. it should be able to use SAFE since it is AS3X ?
i have not flown it yet coz im still building confidence flying sport cub s and the UMX Cirrus SR22T that you guys suggested to buy black friday.
Great video , but I was wondering if you could do a video on transmitter batteries like lipo, lithium, which is best to use and which ones are the better brand to buy. Thanks and keep making those videos. Will. C
Much needed. Even Spektrum is a mess teaching the radios. They assume noobs know the verbiage.
Thanks
Nate is a awesome teacher thank you.
Thank you very much! 👍😁😎⚓️
This is why I like you guys you help out the new people out
Great step by step tutorial Saylors! Thanks for remembering those that may be new to the hobby!
Used to fly a bit 40yrs ago just got a 1.5 Turbo Timber & same Transmitter for BDay...Have to say transmitter was a bit intimidating for this old soul but I found you guys & u made it all make sense. My only regret is I hadn’t found your site sooner as had I known u guys despised the Orange One I would have joined much sooner. I have so much leftover hate in my heart for that piece of Inhumanity I find myself venting on TH-cam channels...Don’t get Old! ✌️👉
this video answered my question i had left you in another of your beginner videos about a good beginner radio that can be used in the future for more advance air craft.
Thanks
Sorry if we missed that question MrDay. It's hard to get to all of our comments, but we always try our best! If I ever don't reply, just post your question again on our most recent video and that will make it more likely that I'll see it ;-) Happy Flying!!

@@TheRcSaylors Question RC Saylors : Newbie here. Please don't laugh at this question,.This is my first RC model. Trying to bind my Apprentice STS . Following the manual : bind plug in on the correct channel of the rec, battery connected (correct battery), plane on a flat surface, power switch on and transmitter off, binding successful per transmitter plane calibrates and great. I turn off the unit total shut off, connect the battery, turn on the model (transmitter already on) and the light flashes and continue to flash. I move the sticks on the transmitter and nothing responds. I hold switch **I** for a few seconds and then it seems to respond. Is this normal ? Help please
where is the SAFE switch located? i'm about to get the mini timber too with a dx6
This is a great instructional video for newcomers guys. Thanks so much for putting it together. Very helpful indeed. Makes me want to buy a plane now! 😎
Too funny, tried binding my first rc airplane yesterday about 3 hours before this posted. Same plane, dx8e tx. Could not get flaps to function properly, stay in full down position. Will try again tonight using your method. Thank you.....
I got my son a chub after watching your video. We have had so much fun me and my son. I'm sold I'm going to get me a slightly better one. I cant wait to start. You have made a grown man so excited to fly more than my son.
Thanks so much for your time and hard work putting together the videos!! Hopefully I can some day afford to get back into the hobbie again! I miss it so much! Last time I flown my Goldberg J-3 Piper Cub was summer of 1993!!
When I eventually get a plane I can go back and find the Tutorials. Good information. ⚓⚓👍👍⚓⚓
Love the timber made a bomb drop for it 3d printed btw
Because of you Nate, I flew my UMX timber with my DX8E!! Thank you!!!!
Hello sir, i need your help... Can 6 channels rc plane fly by using a radio transmitter which comes with 3 channels rc plane?
GREAT presentation!! Thanks Saylors for sharing your knowledge and I watched anyway!! 💟👍😘
Great idea for the series... I will be following along!
Great video as always. I just retired and am getting back into flying planes. Radios and receivers are completely different than when I flew back in the late 80's and early 90's! so I'm taking it slow and learning the new technologies!
Love you guys. Love what you do, love the card info and do it as a couple.
So glad u made this video as a beginner who's never flown but was into RC cars yrs ago I'm looking at the EDF f16 or the EDF p51 or a jet like that and then I was gonna buy a spektrum dx6e transmitter what else would I need to complete a BNF plane?? @TheRcSaylors
3 years, wow, still great info for beginners!
I left the plastic on mine also. I've had mine about 2 and a half. So you're not the only one.
I'm a 47 year old disabled vet and I recently lost my FAA medical because I take opiates for my back (7 back surgeries) I have a Mooney M20R Ovation just sitting in a hanger that I cannot fly so what I did was bought a Mini Apprentice RTF which is great to start off but I just bought the Valiant BTF. Since this Valiant has flaps I ordered the DX8 from Horizon Hobby. Is this DX8 a good radio?? Since I'm new I have zero idea what's good or bad, I spent 300.00 on this radio just for the flaps on the valiant
Cool video Saylors! Wish you had this video when I bought my first radio. I have the big brother to that radio--the DX6.
Nice plane! Hope y'all enjoy your new plane!👍
Nate, this is my third fixed wing aircraft. I have an old Spectrum Dx6i DSMX transmitter. Should this be my next radio or, do you think. a DSX8e be a better choice?
Hey Burke! Great question 👍 Love that you are coming from Spektrum, considering upgrading to Spektrum so you'll be pretty familiar with the menus etc.. So most people would probably say go with the 8. It seems like the obvious choice. However, 9 times out of 10 I find myself using my 6 over the 8 simply for the batteries alone. Radio batteries are the worst. They take forever to charge and generally you are lucky to get a days worth of flying out of them. To me this is a big deal. Hope this helps! 👍⚓😎
@@TheRcSaylors So does the DX8e eat up batteries more quickly than the DX6e? Don't they both use AA batteries? I was thinking of getting a little better radio for future aircraft.
Thanks for making this video. I have been looking at the UMX Timber as my first plane. I hope you do a video with the UMX Timber with safe off, maybe with the floats or skis.
Thank you for the video. It is very informative and helped me.
Love this video. Great help to those of your audience who might be starting out. Glad to see you used the UMX Timber as your BNF example. It's a great budget plane to learn on. Btw, that lead isn't a balance lead, it's proprietary. To charge those UMX batteries on a standard balance charger you can buy an adapter cable from Horizon.
Thanks guys. You guys are amazing. Helped me out a lot.
Excellent video! Any chances of making a video of switch assignments and settings for the Eflite P39 that you tested a while ago? You guys rock. Keep the good videos coming!
Excellent educational video guys,I am just getting into planes ✈️ (I wonder who got me into planes drones,etc) THANKS
You guys have given me the itch.. I am in the works of DIY-ing my first plane from foam board.. I see most instructions show direct connect the receiver to the servos. If I wanted to add Safe, any ideas on how to get started with that, do I just toss a flight controller in there? I know you guys are not really DIY'ers.. but I'm not sure if I should bother figuring it out...
Do you have a transmitter already?
Edit: Just wanted to add, we have both built DIY planes that have flown successfully 😉👍 Abby and I have done kits, as well as made planes completely from scratch (Adam's board) with our own electronics that have flown successfully! We think it was a fun experience but wouldnt want to fly that type of plane all the time. For us, we would rather spend more time in the air, so a few more dollars to have a very good looking and sweet performing plane is worth it ⚓😎
@@TheRcSaylors Yes, I have a Turanis QX 7 which I use for Quads and I picked up a Spektrum DX7S for messing with planes.. Picked it up used, but I understand its good for planes.
So I have that radio and my Dad also has the same one. He flies planes on his whereas I've only used it for drones to date. He loves his for planes and does have access to Recievers that have flight stabilization. However there is a module you can buy that plugs into the transmitter that allows it to pick up Spektrum RXs. This would allow you to use SAFE 👍⚓😎
Hey Abby,
Is it just me or is every RC that Nate handles weather it be a plane, drone, helicopter, car or truck even boats they are all the same when he handles them.. Amazzzzzzzzing...lmao!
Thank you Rcsaylors !!!! I love all your videos and am just a really big fan of your channel all and all. Thanks for all the informative and top notch videos
YOU 2 ARE the BEST! I have the DX6e and (downloaded my new plane's info .SPM file from Spektrum) and afterwards bound it using this awesome tutorial. My next plane may be a UMX because I have a Timber, now a SUS, and figured a Ultra Micro would be super fun.
Hey Nate, do you have in mind to go over Trimming in this series? Great series idea by the way!
Trimming is a wonderful topic! I'll definitely make sure I cover it 👍⚓😎
Hey RCSaylors - do you have updated links for the items. Your current bit.ly links are not working.
Also, a suggestion for the Beginner series - can you talk about FCC requirements i.e. when do you have to be registered with FAA and when do you not.
Can a RTF plan be bound to a universal TX without having to replace any parts?
Love the channel. I'm definately new to the hobby. At present I have to small RTF planes (from your reviews), the Eachine Mini P51 and Mini F4U.
Thanks. Learned allot. You answer most of my questions.
Really glad you found this helpful 👍👍 Thanks a lot for tuning in ⚓😎
More like this please!
So in all of your videos your using that same radio?
Great information, nice video
Hi, can you help me please, Ive bought 2nd hand UMX Turbo Timber and a old DX7 transmitter, im having trouble binding them and I'm new at this. Iver tried your procedure but im having no luck, I hold bind button then power on transmitter ut it wont bind, i'm feeling like my transmitter maybe faulty
I just bought the aeroscout 1.1 aeroscout how do I bind the transmitter transmitter that came with it to the plane
Very thorough I love you people like you. I would vote for you if you ran for president.
So when I buy the transmitter does it come with receiver and do u have to install a receiver in every plane u own I'm confused?? @TheRcSaylors
Kinda early squad where You guys at (:
I think you're still in the early squad! (I've been waiting for this comment though lol 😂)
Chase McNeil YT not letting me know when they upload vids lol
still early
David Rc Basher I try lol have good day (:
You guys are the BEST! 👍⚓😎
Thanks Nate I'm just getting into rc planes looking to get transmitter Very clearly done
Thank you for your videos, i'm getting into the hobby because of your channel :D
Do these UMX come with "Spectrum" receivers, then? Or, with some other "Compatable" receiver.
Hey guys 👍⚓🥇
Hi great starter vid ,i have bought a dmx8e ,i know it can hold a lot of planes ,does it remember the binding for each plane or do you have to bind each time to change planes many thanks
Ps love your channel happy new year to all
Yes Derek, once you've added the new model it will always be the model selected when you turn on the transmitter, but you can select any other models you've made from the 'Model Select' list on the main menu. The selection menus are pretty much identical on all Spektrum transmitters, and you can see this menu @11:18
@@DeadlyDiddly thankyou very much
OOOOh I see that arrma granite in the background, I am looking for a monster truck, that would be my first choice for a monster truck, but its so expensive!
Quick question: Is 6 channels enough for a plane with flaps, lights and gear? Or do I need 7 channels for that? Thanks for the help!
I think that you need 7 channels for planes with lights, flaps, retracts, throttle, ailerons, rudder, and elevator
Don’t quote me on that though
Going to get a Spectrum! 6,7,8, whichever I can get. thanks for this vid!
I'm gonna use the battery, transmitter, and reciever from my sport cub s to my second plane, the parkzone ultra micro p51d mustang. I just need to know how to pair the reciever and transmitter. And in another video, you said your favorite plane or warbird was the p51 mustang, me too!
Best video for binding
Thank you
You are very welcome, and thank you! 👍😁⚓️
Thanks Nate and ABBEY I needed That
Glad this came in helpful to you! 👍😁😎⚓
Thank you Nate just getting started.Thanks from Ohio.
You should do regular update videos on this type of subject regarding rc planes and more technical information videos. Almost all videos from most rc planes channels are very basic in terms of the tech side of things.
11:00 It almost HURT when Nathan pulled the film off the screen. 😖
Sorry Abby, I’m on Team Nathan with this. I like to keep the film on as long as possible. I also leave my electronics (TV, DVD, A/C etc) remotes in the bag, so keep them from getting fingerprints on the buttons.
I have a digital multi-meter that I bought from an electronics shop when I was about 15 years old. That meter has been used regularly ever since then, and it still looks just about brand-new; although it’s been through three 9v batteries in its life, and two sets of leads (I finally bought new ones last year), it STILL has the film protection on the display. At this point, I don’t think I’d be able to remove the film if I WANTED to! lol
Would really love to see some reviews on specific transmitters such as the DX6 Gen 3 Transmitter
Just subbed..new to hobby...have a RTF now..great explanation on this subject that I know nothing about
Simple just did my first binding Thanks
Absolutely 😄👍😎⚓
Does the small RX enter into an auto-bind if it doesn't detect the radio when powered up? Great video!
Does the tx show remaining % of battery like the DJI controller does ?
No it does not, at least on this model. However keep your eyes peeled for new models coming to the channel very soon 😉😉 That's all I can say on the matter as of right now 👍⚓😎
@@TheRcSaylors Thanks Nate, I watch you guys every night. Good stuff for sure. Thanks again!
Can you still connect your dx transmitter to the sport cub s
My son (9 years old) just got his first hobby grade RC plane - Went with the HorizonZone Sport S Cub🙌🏼 - hasn’t had a single issue nor pilot error yet! As I’m looking ahead for Christmas etc, I’m thankful I found this video! Looks like he may be getting this universal... transmitter. Forgive me as Im just a single mama trying to learn. Awesome videos! Do you do any instructional training videos on flying techniques per say?
Whenever you wear a shirt with writing on it you should tell us what it says I can’t read the bottom I like this video even though I don’t fly planes
Thanks for such a helpful video! I'm like Nate, I still have the plastic on my screen after 2 years! 😅
Very cool guys thank you👍🏼
Would the umx timber be a good plane to get after learning how to fly with the sport cub s? Thank you so much for these videos for beginners like me. In this beginners series will you teach how to fly a 4 channel airplane?
Very helpful, thank you
Brilliant series, thanks
" Nice job you two " as always
Thank you! 👍⚓😎
I bought a ready to fly 4 channel plane and was wondering if I can use the transmitter that came with the plane to bind to a bnf plane.
very informative easy to understand video, thank you for that because as awesome as spektrum videos are their very confusing for a beginner. I bought a carbon cub rtf and I'm in the process of learning to fly. Much success so far which is making me want to add more models to my collection. I'm looking at that exact transmitter for my next investment in the hobby. One thing I don't understand is that say I bind this radio to my carbon cub rtf, is it possible to keep the same program but make changes such as adding a mix to my rudder and ailerons? Guys are telling me that the cub is great with a 70% 30% mix. Can I still retain the same program but add the mixing? thanks and I wish you narrated spektrums video. That guy is good but really doesn't understand how hard it is to understand this from scratch
Thanks, I ordered a BNF Otter and some of the setup videos are very complicated. I don't think tweaking axis and other will be necessary but I may look at that
Do not forget to ad the landing gear screws and plates they are not installed out of the box, on a hard landing the wheels will pop off I know from experience.
