This is a FANTASTIC VIDEO the only draw back is the glare from the fluorescent lights above the desk, sometimes you can’t see the display. But I’m still gonna give you a five star rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this video helped me so much to get used to my new DX6e, I love it NOW.
I offer this opinion as a complete beginner, a person who has no RC experience, owns nothing, but enjoys watching others fly and is interested in getting into the hobby. I watched the video because it said "Beginner" and I wanted to see if I could understand how this stuff works. From that perspective, this was a great video up to about 3:30. After that, I have no idea WTF he's talking about. He pressed what button? For what? Use a rubber band to measure what? 100 of what? This may be a very useful video for others but the impression it leaves me with is, "If this video is for beginners, I think I need to find some other hobby." I know better than that, I'm sure I could learn with a personal trainer like through the Horizon Hobby RC Flight School but learning anything from this video as a complete beginner? No way.
I agree. For example, the discussion about telemetry should start with what it is, when and why do you use it before jumping right into the "how". In general, a beginner instruction should be consider who, what, when, where, why and how.
i wrote technical instruction manuals for industry for 40 years..and taught from them..you have to always remember how much a novice doesn't know..what's simple for you may be totally foreign to anyone else and they'll be to embarrassed to tell you.. ps I'm getting back into the hobby after 25 years ..and I ( a laser cnc instructor ) am quite lost ...lol
This is a beginner’s video? He didn’t show how to bind a plane. You can’t see what he is clicking on, the camera is too far away. Where is the on/off button? What is a safe plane, panic, expo, telemetry? This seems very complicated…
Great for we who are new, or, like myself, getting back to the hobby after years of absence. This is why I buy from Horizon/Spektrum. You got me back in and so I'll stay with you. Well except for that Ugly Stick V2 from Durafly that I went elsewhere for. You didn't have one of those, but an AR620 antenna-less receiver and my DX6e is what makes it great. Thanks again guys.
These radio transmitters are quite sophisticated. There are so many options, it's difficult for a new person to understand everything. The manual that comes with the transmitter is lacking on instructions in some areas. The manual has very little information on dual rates and exponential. It should have very detailed information on how to set up D/R and Expo.
The Manual was put together by the programmers and not someone with literary skills. There's to much 'Oh the customer knows all this stuff anyway attitude.
Thank you. I have very recently purchased my 1st plane and this transmitter, (it hasn’t been unboxed yet). I will probably need to rewatch this video a few more times as I set up, because of my inexperience. But I believe that it will be easier to follow than the manual provided with the radio.

mojo 410 Captain Caveman, I think that I have it sorted for beginner flying. Had to reverse two channels, put in a throttle cut, set 3 x rates + expo, added a aileron/rudder mix (I can switch that on & off, just in case). Then I got “cocky” & decided to program flapperons! That took me some time to figure out. Fortunately I’m not in a hurry, the plane looks good on the ground, so now I wait for the perfect opportunity to take it to the local RC flying club. Wish me luck.
i had trouble telling how many buttons or switches were being pressed at the same time the way his fingers were bouncing around all the time. other than that its a pretty useful video.
Dear Kevin Morse, Thank you for being so positive, but your comment about me being slow is just disgusting. It reflects who you really are. Maybe you should take some of your positive and change that. And yes I did rewind countless times, only to discover the some of the switches he is referring too are never shown on the video. But not to worry, I eventually found other videos that were easy to understand and now I know how to work every single feature on my DX6e.
I wish SpektrumRC would make a more beginner video than this. I just bought the DX6e and couldn't follow this. When you know the product already, you don't realize that you have experience the novice doesn't have. Just some helpful feedback to whoever makes these videos. Please make a newer video intro to the DX6e. That would be awesome.
Attempting to follow the manual is even worse. Rather than concise step by step instruction the manual is basically all over the place - very confusing.
Agree. This video assumes you are very familiar with the DX6e. You're moving too fast through the steps for a complete novice. The manual doesn't even show you how to add a model one step at a time.
The mark of a good teacher is the ability to view the subject from the point of view of the student and then sequence the information so that all required background is established before presenting a new topic. This guy ain't it.

I know this Video is 7 years old BUT - I'm a NOOB & I search out videos like this to set up my Brand New Spektrum DX6e TX which I just bought. So, the video is Very Informative & covers just about everything I would need to know but I have to point out that you missed a big part for us NOOBs. I have no clue about Dual Rates & Expo so I need the correct information. The video shows to change settings to our liking for these but it does not show that you need to Change the Settings for Each, Aileron, Elevator & Rudder. I don't think that just changing the settings for Rates & Expo only on Airerons will affect Rudder & Elevator. At least on my TX when I changed the "C" switch from High to Low position the Rudder & Elevator did not change. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@SpektrumRCvideos Thank you spectrum RC. I do have that one in my saved videos and have watched it. I would appreciate it if someone could reply to my comment and questions. Am I correct in what I pointed out is missing in the video? Thank you for your time and great products.
I would like to add that since I purchased my Dx6e 6 months ago I have had ongoing trouble with the on/off switch. Eventually no matter how long you long press it, it would not shut off, and I had to pull a battery. That same day while trying to power on the switch broke and fell into the radio. Bad design I liked the old switch much better because now I have to send my radio in and I won't be able to fly for over a month.
Thread below is hilarious. But I agree with many, the video demo is too fast for comprehension. The music/sound track is hypnotic. The Manual needs an Editor. And, the comparison to this radio being so much better than the Dx6i is lost on me. Perhaps I don't understand it. I programmed and flew with my Dx6i easily within a week of reading (new to the hobby) and then flew for 5 years loving it. After batteries leaked and ruined it, I purchased this Dx6e. Have to concur, this thing is tuff. Already goofed up and had to send mine back for repair. I love Spektrum stuff but folks, a couple improvements might help. Thanks!
My new arrma typhon came with the slt3. Pretty cheap guys, for a $400 car. U need a pencil to turn on button. And, it was made with a missing negative AA battery coil. Nothing like staring at your new 400 car...still waiting for new one. I hope its not the same..
Just nit picking here but I’m pretty sure the sport sub s doesn’t use a y wire for its ailerons and is indeed dual aileron, just basing it on that the controller board has two separate ports. If I’m wrong please reply
awesome video. but please turn off beep. I even hear my tweety bird reacting to it. I have that remote two of those planes and more. learning more. thanks. and yeah the videos where people scroll through to assign is painful as you can move a stick to assign, but what about to back out without save for accidentally moving a stick.
I'm no expert on radios but I think they are all pretty complicated! The dx6e seems to be the cheapest option with a screen so you don't need a computer to program it yet still a good quality radio. Hopefully it's got better functionality and build quality than my old flysky tx. Waiting for mine in the mail now along with my blade theory type w :D
Hi I've been watching your video on the controller spectrum DX6E I've made cardboard plane F22 bought the controller and it came with reciver small with no wire I'm having problems binding ice been watching you program in I can't do that it's to complicated I bought this model from America on utube the guy makes F22 with foam ive ordered that I had a choice for controllers I should have gone for more simple set up I thought this controller all I had to do is binding to reciver it shows how to do it but nothing happens no solid light. On home screen it shows battery life is that the battery in controller that's without connection I'm 73yrs old I'm good with my hands making eroplane but the set up my brain goes else wear hope you don't mind me sending message it's just I watching you on utube but it's to complacated for me is there an easier way to bind thanks Colin
Would really like to see how to set up the Spektrum for quads. Completely new to the hobby TX and no longer use the included TX that came with the Inductrix and Nano QX. Bought the DXe for simplicity, but would buy the DX6e if I knew how to program it.
For the Inductrix and Nano QX it really is essentially bind and fly. If you follow these instructions it will help you assign dual rates and expo if you want to use that. Otherwise, to change flight modes, follow our instructions for assigning the I button to gear and you are good to do. FYI We will be doing a more indepth multirotor setup video, but that will be geared more toward racing quads.
i have the Dx6e and im having problems with it. 1st the backlight wouldnt turn off and now nothing turns on. i made a short video on my page to show the backlight issue.
I have a nano cps I setup per horizon using the dx6 configuration in the manual Im using the DX6e. Why cant i check pitch pre flight pitch does not move, i can fly the heli using the dx6 but i was able to check all movements pre flight with the crappy rtr radio but only elevator and aileron using the dx6e.
Hello I have been having problems with my Dx6e. I have been treating it well but the power button got stuck and can’t turn it on to get the serial number. Has anyone had this problem or can someone help?
I'm so lost... All I want to do is fly my plane and it's so complicated I'm not sure I'll ever get thru all this high tech stuff.. I wish I was better at this stuff
Hi, at 6:15 it mentions " If your safe model has little or no down elevator, make sure that AUX1 (channel 6) is set up correctly". I've tried several times with my Mini apprentice and my DX6 and still very little down elevator, its fine with the supplied DXE? Thank you
I just bought my first radio and it’s a DX6, I am so confused like many others, are there any other avenues to go to so I could really understand all the functions and how to use them in using the radio for an aircraft. Since I’m a total beginner I’d like to set up the radio for a total beginner. Anyone near Danbury ct. that might be able to help? Thanks in advance.
A beginner series! Well I'm a beginner and I've just bought the DX6e and I didn't follow any of it. Totally confusing. Please assume the beginner is a beginner! Also please have a close up of the screen. Very disappointed.
@@sams0748 hi.. I'm Luca, from Rome, i have little problem: i use dx8e with AR631 on my Habu 6s. I need to inverted rudder. I do and it work good, Only in experienced mode. With Safe, when i use aileron, rudder doesn't work inverted. with only stick rudder is ok, but when i push stick of aileron rudder turn on opposite... How can i do to inverted rudder to safe mode? Thank you so much
i have tried everything to get my friends new dx6e to bind with safe select on his parkzone f4f wildcat with no luck, but when i turn off his transmitter the safe select engages and the plane start trying to self correct sitting in the cradle? anyone else have this weird issue? any ideas would be appreciated. thx
Hi Guys I want to know if some oye has program the Delta Ray with the gen 2 dx8 Im having problems with the set up the plane is flying without the fligth modes Regards
I know how to use the flap delay for the spektrum DX6e so that the flaps lower and raise slowly. Does anyone know if I can also add a delay for the landing gear so that they also extend and retract slowly?
Thanks for the video, very useful. Slowly working out my DX6, however where everyone else seems to have THR AIL ELE RUD, mine has ALT ROL PIT YAW. So when ImmersionRC tell me "Travel on channels 1-4 (THR, AIL, ELE, RUD) must be increased to +/- 148 - Two channels need reversing, AIL, and RUD." I get a bit flummoxed.
@@SpektrumRCvideos hi how do I change a model on dx8 gen2 i.e if I'm flying a fusion 360, I've finished flying with it and then I want to fly a mini comet Heli, how do I change over without switching of the transmitter? Please help
Hi friend, nice video. I have a really big problem I think. Last time when I meet a "instructor" to fly my apprentice plane for the first time, we linked the transmitter using the trainer port, my DXe spektrum did not work at all. I am new with this, but the instructor evidently, seemed he did not what he was doing. My DXe stop working , it went off. I tried to turn ON , it turned on, it beeps few times , then continue beeping constantly. The transmitter is unresponsive, I can not bind back to the plane, it continuously beeping. I tried to use with a simulator and everything works except for I can not control the speed , I can take off but no landing because is at high speed all the time( thaks god is with the simulator). I read that the throttle might be bad , hope not.I totally lost. I have not contact Horizon yet. The store from where I bought they don't what could be, they say , never seen that before, Please advise
Quick question. Do you know how to reset to factory settings. It asked me to recalibrate it and when I did it swapped the throttle to the right and elevators to the left and idk what to do. Help!!!!!!
I'm a newbie, I recently bought the DXe, a Hobizon Chat person recommended it to me. I am wondering how to get the flight mode switch to work for the Sport Cub S? I am able to fly the Sport Cub S with the DXe but I can't get it out of beginner mode...?
Is there another video that covers setup for quads and/or helicopters? I've set up my Blade Zeyrok to the DX6e radio but can't switch flight modes. The radio shows the different modes but nothing happens when i flip the switch.
I am interested in installing a spectrum Receiver in my new FMS RED TAIL MUSTANG 1.7m. Can I purchase a receiver with safe included?, which one should I get?, and do I need to program it?
Hi Steve! We would recommend an AR637T or AR8360T. It would need to be setup and we have a lot of videos and there are some great 3rd party videos on setting up our latest and greatest AS3X and SAFE receivers.
Gracias por su buen video. Su ayuda por favor. Tras ahorrar durante 7 meses para la compra de un buen control remoto, tiempo durante el cual investigue que equipo era el mejor, me decidí por el Spektrum DX6e. Luego de un mes utilizando mi DX6e, espesó a presentar problemas con la señal, dado que tengo 5 drones de diferentes tamaños, y todos se caen a 10-15 metros de distancia al control remoto. Pensando que eran los receptores, cambie 3 de ellos, pero igual perdían señal a los 10 metros. Seguíi algunos tutoriales descartando otros problemas como variación en las baterías de alimentación, interferencias por antenas de comunicación y antenas tanto del radio como del receptor. Al parecer el del problema es el RF X1TXP, alguna idea o luz como repararlo o donde puedo encontrar un repuesto de este modulo. La verdad algo desilusionado de Spektrum
DargoDog we have videos on how to use AVC and videos on programming our more popular radios on our channel. Just go to the videos tab on there and there are playlist for each subject. Also Check out our SpektrumRC Facebook page for more content. Hope that helps.
I recently got the Spektrum DX8e I wanted to use it with my Apprentice STS but I have a challenge setting up the beginner intermediate and expert mode to work on one of the switches Any assistance will help
This video should help! Essentially you just need to go to the Channel Assign menu, and change Gear (Channel 5) to the B switch. For Panic set Aux1 to I in the same menu. Hope that helps!
Likely you changed the battery type in the system menu. Hold the scroll button as you power on and go down to that system menu and adjust. Hope that helps!
Excellent video. I just bought DX6e for my new Freewing AL37 Airliner and there are 7 connectors nicely labeled as UBEC/BEC, Throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder, landing gear and flaps. I have Specktrum AR620 receiver with 6-channels and one battery conn slot. I also noticed that the DX6e has the channels listed as throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder, gear:flap and AUX1: Left Ail. Does that mean that I have to rename the port 6 from AUX1 to flap in order to utilize the last channel port for flapsI am a little confused as I do not have AUX connection?
How do I get my motor to run on the stick the flaps on normal don't work the way they should its brand new thr spectrum I'm new to this flying made f22 card 30ins wing span I'm using 220kv 30amp speed controller battery 11. 1 amp 1000 mah prop 5/2 in do you think it will fly
Sounds like you might have your transmitter set to sailplane mode, which unless you are using it for a full house glider, you are better off using acro mode for simplicity. hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos hi thanks for reply I'm not being onidt I made a stupid mistake which is not like me it could be I'm not well but when came to connect speed control 3 wires to motor red and black to battery I got it the wrong way. Relised what I had done I'm thinking I've fried a few components I changed the speed controler and motor I didn't replace reciver coud that bad mistake damage the reciver. Yes when I bind and use throttle the flap moves on that side the other works from flap stick but just side ways can't get to do both. Like I say I'm new to this hobbie. I've loads of connections on battery never made this mistake before I had to solder a different connection it coud have been that not consetrating properly
Connecting the 3 motor leads to different colors will not damage anything and in actuality it will work just fine like that, but the motor may run in reverse. That said I would suggest double checking all your connections, especially the ones going into the receiver. Signal + and - need to match up.
@@SpektrumRCvideos hi thanks for reply no what happened I contacted the battery to wrong connection on speed controller. Nothing happened like burning or noise on utube someone said if you do that I can fry the components. I've changed motor and speed controller connection's the write way but throttle moves one flap the flap stick moves the other side ways not up and down. I've connected up servos yellow wire always at top red then black the controller speed is battery wire then reciver wire in port one it's white at top then red then black I think it could be my settings on transmitter I haven't got a clue. I'm one of these people if shown I get it straight away to read instructions hopeless I'm great with my hands the plane I made us really good
Sascha Tepperwien It is a option in the servo setup menu. When you open Servo setup, hit travel scroll right and reverse is one of the next options. Once there select the channels you wish to reverse and you're good to go.
I have had this radio about 10 months now. I seem to have lost volume on my tones. To the point where they are barely audible. Can you help as I used the timer on models with no osd. Thank you
Hi Scooby, that is odd... Honestly never seen a buzzer in one of these go bad! It is likely hardware related, could be damage from a drop, hard to say! That being said, please send the radio to your nearest Spektrum repair center for service and we can get it back in working order. Thanks!
@@SpektrumRCvideos Thank you. I'll consider your suggestion, although with me being a novice with only a years experience and just started flying acro, I can't see me being parted with my transmitter anytime soon.
Hello! I'm just a beginner and I would do like to have your opinion about the Spektrum DX6 or up, like the XD8 for Gliders as the Fly Fly ASW 28 which I guess are the models with the "simple" setups and commands comparing with Race Drones, Helis and other kinds of more complex models. By the way I am planing to have all setup with Spektrum products, transmitters, servos etc etc. So what are you think? Thank you very much!
Hello, It was a question! :) I would do like to hear your opinion and suggestions about the best Spektrum (includentes the Rc) set up for the Fly Fly ASW 28 Glider that I will be purchasing soon. Thank you! ;)
Awesome thanks for clarifying! That looks like a basic 4 channel glider. I would say the DX6 would be a great choice for it because it has all the sailplane features you would need as well as voice output, which is nice to have if you use variometer telemetry.
I was thinking about the DX8 considering the cost x benefices of it. Anyway the DX6 seems to be a great option too, once I intend to fly only gliders. Thank you very much! ;)
hi newbie here question about arming multicopters won't let me arm motors. ...it's fine in software but when I want to calibrate motors it won't let me. ...any suggestions I have it setup for multi rotor should it be setup as acro had the old dx6i before the new DX6E
Could be a lot of things. Does it still work with your 6i? It will work fine in Multirotor mode if you have the switches and travels setup propperly. How do you have arming setup (Switch or sticks) ?
It works with the old dx6i but once I bind it to the new radio it wouldn't my software is mission planner and everything seems to be correct had to reverse some channels but that's normal

Thank you🙏🏻
Thread below is hilarious. But I agree with many, the video demo is too fast for comprehension. The music/sound track is hypnotic. The Manual needs an Editor. And, the comparison to this radio being so much better than the Dx6i is lost on me. Perhaps I don't understand it. I programmed and flew with my Dx6i easily within a week of reading (new to the hobby) and then flew for 5 years loving it. After batteries leaked and ruined it, I purchased this Dx6e. Have to concur, this thing is tuff. Already goofed up and had to send mine back for repair. I love Spektrum stuff but folks, a couple improvements might help. Thanks!
Back to reading the manual I guess
What's the difference between "Panic" and "Throttle Cut"?
Man this was a great information video.
With a 6 channels plane, that Don t works, you must sacrifed one channel... Train or flaps😬. You must have a 7 channel radio🙄🤔
Great video. Clear instructions.
My new arrma typhon came with the slt3. Pretty cheap guys, for a $400 car.
U need a pencil to turn on button.
And, it was made with a missing negative AA battery coil.
Nothing like staring at your new 400 car...still waiting for new one. I hope its not the same..
Just nit picking here but I’m pretty sure the sport sub s doesn’t use a y wire for its ailerons and is indeed dual aileron, just basing it on that the controller board has two separate ports. If I’m wrong please reply
Why not showing the Spektrum screen with a little more zooming-in?
I try bind my helicopter, but it is always says Bind Failed. Before everything worked
ok so I have BLADE INDUCTRIX PRO and I got it to bind to my DX 6e but throttle will not work
awesome video. but please turn off beep. I even hear my tweety bird reacting to it. I have that remote two of those planes and more. learning more. thanks. and yeah the videos where people scroll through to assign is painful as you can move a stick to assign, but what about to back out without save for accidentally moving a stick.
How do I set it to a ground vehicle. A Tank to be precise.
So confused now really don't know what radio to get now. Spectrum seem very complicated any radio suggestions
I'm no expert on radios but I think they are all pretty complicated! The dx6e seems to be the cheapest option with a screen so you don't need a computer to program it yet still a good quality radio. Hopefully it's got better functionality and build quality than my old flysky tx. Waiting for mine in the mail now along with my blade theory type w :D
What did you end up getting?
Thanks a lot. you really helped me :) .
anyone know where to find info for setting up the DX8 with a SAFE Rx.....no flaps......... thanks
Hi I've been watching your video on the controller spectrum DX6E I've made cardboard plane F22 bought the controller and it came with reciver small with no wire I'm having problems binding ice been watching you program in I can't do that it's to complicated I bought this model from America on utube the guy makes F22 with foam ive ordered that I had a choice for controllers I should have gone for more simple set up I thought this controller all I had to do is binding to reciver it shows how to do it but nothing happens no solid light. On home screen it shows battery life is that the battery in controller that's without connection I'm 73yrs old I'm good with my hands making eroplane but the set up my brain goes else wear hope you don't mind me sending message it's just I watching you on utube but it's to complacated for me is there an easier way to bind thanks Colin
Would really like to see how to set up the Spektrum for quads. Completely new to the hobby TX and no longer use the included TX that came with the Inductrix and Nano QX. Bought the DXe for simplicity, but would buy the DX6e if I knew how to program it.
For the Inductrix and Nano QX it really is essentially bind and fly. If you follow these instructions it will help you assign dual rates and expo if you want to use that. Otherwise, to change flight modes, follow our instructions for assigning the I button to gear and you are good to do. FYI
We will be doing a more indepth multirotor setup video, but that will be geared more toward racing quads.
Thanks, working toward a race quad setup so that video will be appreciated.
what if i have a plane with flaps and gear and it’s only 6ch?
So much stuff going on coming from dx5e.
I want to know if the dx6e will bind to a msrx?Been looking for answer for hours.The damn manual should have a list of models it binds to.
If the receiver is dsmx, you would think it would work, at least if the transmitter had the new firmware update.
The instructions have me almost as confused as my Ex had me at one point.
What does "Expo" mean and how do you use it?
i have the Dx6e and im having problems with it. 1st the backlight wouldnt turn off and now nothing turns on. i made a short video on my page to show the backlight issue.
now it wont even turn on... yay
I have a nano cps I setup per horizon using the dx6 configuration in the manual Im using the DX6e. Why cant i check pitch pre flight pitch does not move, i can fly the heli using the dx6 but i was able to check all movements pre flight with the crappy rtr radio but only elevator and aileron using the dx6e.
Hello I have been having problems with my Dx6e. I have been treating it well but the power button got stuck and can’t turn it on to get the serial number. Has anyone had this problem or can someone help?
I'm so lost... All I want to do is fly my plane and it's so complicated I'm not sure I'll ever get thru all this high tech stuff.. I wish I was better at this stuff
how do we set up motor timer so that timer only count down when throttle is activated.
Hi, at 6:15 it mentions " If your safe model has little or no down elevator, make sure that AUX1 (channel 6) is set up correctly". I've tried several times with my Mini apprentice and my DX6 and still very little down elevator, its fine with the supplied DXE? Thank you
I just bought my first radio and it’s a DX6, I am so confused like many others, are there any other avenues to go to so I could really understand all the functions and how to use them in using the radio for an aircraft. Since I’m a total beginner I’d like to set up the radio for a total beginner. Anyone near Danbury ct. that might be able to help? Thanks in advance.
What is the difference between Spektrums E series vs their i series? I have a DX5E and a DX6i and am unclear as to the differences.
MONEY!
Can that one fits completely on a Carbon Z Cub S+ with FLAPS?? And Safe+, Auto-Landing and everything functioning?
A beginner series! Well I'm a beginner and I've just bought the DX6e and I didn't follow any of it. Totally confusing. Please assume the beginner is a beginner! Also please have a close up of the screen. Very disappointed.
No shit. I am a pilot and they are talking a foreign language.
This is what happens when ppl who talk like they are teaching ppl who know 50%
Useless.
Let me know if you need any help
@@sams0748 hi.. I'm Luca, from Rome, i have little problem: i use dx8e with AR631 on my Habu 6s. I need to inverted rudder. I do and it work good, Only in experienced mode. With Safe, when i use aileron, rudder doesn't work inverted. with only stick rudder is ok, but when i push stick of aileron rudder turn on opposite... How can i do to inverted rudder to safe mode? Thank you so much
Could you please show how to program each switch (channel) ?
Yeah I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the r knob on the controller DX8 G2...... me not know
i have tried everything to get my friends new dx6e to bind with safe select on his parkzone f4f wildcat with no luck, but when i turn off his transmitter the safe select engages and the plane start trying to self correct sitting in the cradle? anyone else have this weird issue? any ideas would be appreciated. thx
What does all the switches on top do please,
Does this transmitter work with the ar630?
Tom,
What can u show us for a helicopters model ?? What abt tht?
Hi Guys I want to know if some oye has program the Delta Ray with the gen 2 dx8 Im having problems with the set up the plane is flying without the fligth modes Regards
Am I doiNg something wrong. My RX port assignments don’t work by toggling and no option for any switches?
how do you bind a dx5e with ar 500
I know how to use the flap delay for the spektrum DX6e so that the flaps lower and raise slowly. Does anyone know if I can also add a delay for the landing gear so that they also extend and retract slowly?
Thanks for the video, very useful.
Slowly working out my DX6, however where everyone else seems to have THR AIL ELE RUD, mine has ALT ROL PIT YAW. So when ImmersionRC tell me "Travel on channels 1-4 (THR, AIL, ELE, RUD) must be increased to +/- 148
- Two channels need reversing, AIL, and RUD."
I get a bit flummoxed.
In multirotor mode we opted to use multirotor terms. ALT=THR ROL=AIL ELE=PIT YAW=RUD.
Thanks, I wish ImmersionRC had followed your lead
@@SpektrumRCvideos hi how do I change a model on dx8 gen2 i.e if I'm flying a fusion 360,
I've finished flying with it and then I want to fly a mini comet Heli, how do I change over without switching of the transmitter?
Please help
i couldn't see the screen at all in this video, not much help here
I just wanted to see how to arm the radio/quadcopter? That seems pretty basic.
Unfortunately it is not. That completely depends on how the quad is setup and configured.
Hi friend, nice video. I have a really big problem I think. Last time
when I meet a "instructor" to fly my apprentice plane for the first
time, we linked the transmitter using the trainer port, my DXe spektrum
did not work at all. I am new with this, but the instructor evidently,
seemed he did not what he was doing. My DXe stop working , it went off. I
tried to turn ON , it turned on, it beeps few times , then continue
beeping constantly. The transmitter is unresponsive, I can not bind back
to the plane, it continuously beeping. I tried to use with a simulator
and everything works except for I can not control the speed , I can take
off but no landing because is at high speed all the time( thaks god is with the simulator). I read that
the throttle might be bad , hope not.I totally lost. I have not contact
Horizon yet. The store from where I bought they don't what could be,
they say , never seen that before, Please advise
Quick question. Do you know how to reset to factory settings. It asked me to recalibrate it and when I did it swapped the throttle to the right and elevators to the left and idk what to do. Help!!!!!!
I'm a newbie, I recently bought the DXe, a Hobizon Chat person recommended it to me. I am wondering how to get the flight mode switch to work for the Sport Cub S? I am able to fly the Sport Cub S with the DXe but I can't get it out of beginner mode...?
I noticed you skipped DX7s is that because it doesn’t apply?
Hi I am having trouble setting up 5 flight modes on my DX9. Do you have a detailed video on that?
Is there another video that covers setup for quads and/or helicopters? I've set up my Blade Zeyrok to the DX6e radio but can't switch flight modes. The radio shows the different modes but nothing happens when i flip the switch.
Same here... but I have not tried it in airplane mode like he suggests - maybe try that instead of multirotor - seems counterintuitive though....
Good video...but you can barely see the screen...esp if your video relates to the screen..do it again
I am interested in installing a spectrum Receiver in my new FMS RED TAIL MUSTANG 1.7m. Can I purchase a receiver with safe included?, which one should I get?, and do I need to program it?
Hi Steve! We would recommend an AR637T or AR8360T. It would need to be setup and we have a lot of videos and there are some great 3rd party videos on setting up our latest and greatest AS3X and SAFE receivers.
@@SpektrumRCvideos Thanks for your recommendation. I appreciate the quick response. Very happy with Spektrum products!
This is for a airplane.
Do a how to for a drone. I've got a team black sheep vendetta. A dx6e. How do I set up the drone from here.
Gracias por su buen video. Su ayuda por favor. Tras ahorrar durante 7 meses para la compra de un buen control remoto, tiempo durante el cual investigue que equipo era el mejor, me decidí por el Spektrum DX6e.
Luego de un mes utilizando mi DX6e, espesó a presentar problemas con la señal, dado que tengo 5 drones de diferentes tamaños, y todos se caen a 10-15 metros de distancia al control remoto. Pensando que eran los receptores, cambie 3 de ellos, pero igual perdían señal a los 10 metros. Seguíi algunos tutoriales descartando otros problemas como variación en las baterías de alimentación, interferencias por antenas de comunicación y antenas tanto del radio como del receptor.
Al parecer el del problema es el RF X1TXP, alguna idea o luz como repararlo o donde puedo encontrar un repuesto de este modulo.
La verdad algo desilusionado de Spektrum
i want to take the throttle wedge out when its in 2/4 mode. i lose a little thottle travel. can you take the wedge out like the DX6?
I have a dx7s, it seems like it should set up the same as a dx6?
For the most part yes, but some menus have changed some since the older version of Airware on the DX7s. Hopefully this helps you walk thru setup :)
Ailerons in reverse?how to correct please
Great Video!!! Are there any programming modes available for surface RCs?
DargoDog we have videos on how to use AVC and videos on programming our more popular radios on our channel. Just go to the videos tab on there and there are playlist for each subject. Also Check out our SpektrumRC Facebook page for more content. Hope that helps.
How to I set up to connect with Aero Fly ( for Mac)
I recently got the Spektrum DX8e
I wanted to use it with my Apprentice STS but I have a challenge setting up the beginner intermediate and expert mode to work on one of the switches
Any assistance will help
This video should help! Essentially you just need to go to the Channel Assign menu, and change Gear (Channel 5) to the B switch. For Panic set Aux1 to I in the same menu. Hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos will set this up then get back to you with feed back
Currently my I Button is being used as trainer
I just changed my battery on my dx6, but it's telling me low battery. What is going on...please help
Likely you changed the battery type in the system menu. Hold the scroll button as you power on and go down to that system menu and adjust. Hope that helps!
is it possible to bind this to a plane that already comes with its own transmitter? such as the new super cub s?
Harrison Long absolutely! Just follow the bind procedures and the setup in this video :)
Excellent video. I just bought DX6e for my new Freewing AL37 Airliner and there are 7 connectors nicely labeled as UBEC/BEC, Throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder, landing gear and flaps. I have Specktrum AR620 receiver with 6-channels and one battery conn slot. I also noticed that the DX6e has the channels listed as throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder, gear:flap and AUX1: Left Ail. Does that mean that I have to rename the port 6 from AUX1 to flap in order to utilize the last channel port for flapsI am a little confused as I do not have AUX connection?
Cna you do a video on the dxe?
Did he cover the timer ?
can you loosen the gimbals one this remote?
How do I get my motor to run on the stick the flaps on normal don't work the way they should its brand new thr spectrum I'm new to this flying made f22 card 30ins wing span I'm using 220kv 30amp speed controller battery 11. 1 amp 1000 mah prop 5/2 in do you think it will fly
Sounds like you might have your transmitter set to sailplane mode, which unless you are using it for a full house glider, you are better off using acro mode for simplicity. hope that helps!
@@SpektrumRCvideos hi thanks for reply I'm not being onidt I made a stupid mistake which is not like me it could be I'm not well but when came to connect speed control 3 wires to motor red and black to battery I got it the wrong way. Relised what I had done I'm thinking I've fried a few components I changed the speed controler and motor I didn't replace reciver coud that bad mistake damage the reciver. Yes when I bind and use throttle the flap moves on that side the other works from flap stick but just side ways can't get to do both. Like I say I'm new to this hobbie. I've loads of connections on battery never made this mistake before I had to solder a different connection it coud have been that not consetrating properly
Connecting the 3 motor leads to different colors will not damage anything and in actuality it will work just fine like that, but the motor may run in reverse. That said I would suggest double checking all your connections, especially the ones going into the receiver. Signal + and - need to match up.
@@SpektrumRCvideos hi thanks for reply no what happened I contacted the battery to wrong connection on speed controller. Nothing happened like burning or noise on utube someone said if you do that I can fry the components. I've changed motor and speed controller connection's the write way but throttle moves one flap the flap stick moves the other side ways not up and down. I've connected up servos yellow wire always at top red then black the controller speed is battery wire then reciver wire in port one it's white at top then red then black I think it could be my settings on transmitter I haven't got a clue. I'm one of these people if shown I get it straight away to read instructions hopeless I'm great with my hands the plane I made us really good
I would agree it sounds like a transmitter setting. I would suggest creating a new default model file, in acro mode, and start from scratch.
hi awesome information. ...but how do you reverse channels? on the dx6e. ..thanks
Sascha Tepperwien It is a option in the servo setup menu. When you open Servo setup, hit travel scroll right and reverse is one of the next options. Once there select the channels you wish to reverse and you're good to go.
Thank you
SpektrumRC hi there is no servo setup on the dx6E
SpektrumRC I figured it out. ..thanks for you help
I have had this radio about 10 months now. I seem to have lost volume on my tones. To the point where they are barely audible. Can you help as I used the timer on models with no osd. Thank you
Hi Scooby, that is odd... Honestly never seen a buzzer in one of these go bad! It is likely hardware related, could be damage from a drop, hard to say! That being said, please send the radio to your nearest Spektrum repair center for service and we can get it back in working order. Thanks!
@@SpektrumRCvideos Thank you. I'll consider your suggestion, although with me being a novice with only a years experience and just started flying acro, I can't see me being parted with my transmitter anytime soon.
How do assign a switch to flaps

Hello! I'm just a beginner and I would do like to have your opinion about the Spektrum DX6 or up, like the XD8 for Gliders as the Fly Fly ASW 28 which I guess are the models with the "simple" setups and commands comparing with Race Drones, Helis and other kinds of more complex models. By the way I am planing to have all setup with Spektrum products, transmitters, servos etc etc. So what are you think? Thank you very much!
Felipe Araújo Hello , Must be a language barrier, is this a question or a statement. Could you rephrase?
Hello,
It was a question! :)
I would do like to hear your opinion and suggestions about the best Spektrum (includentes the Rc) set up for the Fly Fly ASW 28 Glider that I will be purchasing soon. Thank you! ;)
Awesome thanks for clarifying! That looks like a basic 4 channel glider. I would say the DX6 would be a great choice for it because it has all the sailplane features you would need as well as voice output, which is nice to have if you use variometer telemetry.
I was thinking about the DX8 considering the cost x benefices of it. Anyway the DX6 seems to be a great option too, once I intend to fly only gliders. Thank you very much! ;)
hi newbie here question about arming multicopters won't let me arm motors. ...it's fine in software but when I want to calibrate motors it won't let me. ...any suggestions I have it setup for multi rotor should it be setup as acro
had the old dx6i before the new DX6E
Could be a lot of things. Does it still work with your 6i? It will work fine in Multirotor mode if you have the switches and travels setup propperly. How do you have arming setup (Switch or sticks) ?
Throttle stick down to the right to arm
It works with the old dx6i but once I bind it to the new radio it wouldn't my software is mission planner and everything seems to be correct had to reverse some channels but that's normal
How do we rename a plane?
I agree with Andrew. Way too fast , can’t see screen and presentation assumes viewers had been around theses radios a lifetime. Terrible.
