- In this video we cover how to bind your Spektrum radio to your OMP Heli using a DSMX satellite. The process is very easy and you can have this Heli up and flying in less then 15 minutes !!!
Thanks mate. Best Spektrum setup video I've found.
Got my M2 flying.
Now to the finer points. My servo were no where near center.
I noticed on top of blade grips alignment lines. Made blade setup easier
No swash level tool necessary
Thats buddy I am happy I was able to help :) Fly safe out there !
@@33forsaken I purchased a redcon satellite but am having no end of issues getting it to bind.
Lucky I had a spektrum satellite to use I had to remove from my Trex.
Thank you Freddy I got my M2 v2 today now to setup on d6 Spektrum radio Great video
Happy to hear you are gonna love it !
Thank you for the video, Freddy! I will try to bind to my DX6 G2 once my heli arrives!
Cool let me know if you have any issues :)
Thanks Freddy, I got my M2 v2 today. All was good but a broken tail blade in the box. I did order spares! You method worked perfect with my buttonless Spektrum. You rock, Merry Christmas!
Hey thanks so much buddy, I have some more videos on the way but if you need any help feel free to ask :)
Great intro to the M2 Freddy. Looking forward to the deep-dive technical video to go over the full set-up. Great video as usual.
Coming soon!
Thank you Freddy. Very useful information. Great job!!!!
You are very welcome
Another great and informative video Freddy. For those like me with a FUTABA TX, you can buy a very small and cheap Rx that plugs and binds into the OMP SBUS unit. Banggood have them. Part: OMPHOBBY M2 EXP/V1/V2 RC Helicopter Parts Mini SFHSS RX/SFHSS Receiver Board. I found it frustrating trying to find a cheap Rx that would do this, but here it is.
Hey thanks so much for the information for sure buddy
What a pain for an expensive Heli-i bought an e-achine.
GREAT GUY ,,, THANK YOU FREDDY , I BEEN FOLLOW YOUR VIDS since WAY BACK IN THE DAYS , GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK, MILLION THUMB UP ON ALL YOUR VIDS
Lots of more stuff in the works as well.
Great video. Helped me immensely.
Throt pitch.
Love the ed.
I needed this vid, thanks Freddy!
3 words buddy. Tiny logo blades. That thing is a beast. My micro heli is a 230Sv2. That thing would shred it.
Yes I sure do hope they come out with Carbon Blades for it.
Very good info Freddy, I have an older DX7s radio but once I get the heli, I will probably be binding it to my TX16S tx.
Good choice!
Great video, will any Spectrum reciever work to bind the heli
You can also pop those linkages off and sett it by hand like I had to with my cp pros back in the day..put your stick in the middle and look at the top grips are flat dead center or not..mine was perfect out of the box ..these new radios are nice for sett up but kind enabled people to work on there own stuff if need be ..I know a guy that knows the radio good but doesn't have a clue to work on the heli if need be..but my m2 was perfect out of the box..your not being a nazy cause I once had a 450 belt cp go off in my bedroom cause the guy I bought it from had the throttle reversed..that m2 can and will cut your fingers off .sharp blades and Hela power
thanks for the info buddy :)
@@33forsaken I know it's not your first day. I watched alot of you acrobatic episodes that got me inverted with my s3 . I can do it with small ones like my mcpx.bl ...but this bird handles different .I won't be inverting it , anytime soon
Hey freddy i working right now with a videosetup for a store here in Norway. My issue is that i usally set gyro gain on my radio. But there are no where stated that you should do so on the OMP. so should it be off on the radio???
Thanks for this vid Freddy, I watched your your Throttle and pitch curves video and was able to tame down my Blade Nano and mCPX BL2 to to suit my flying style. I'm going to be purchasing a M2 V2 soon and my understanding from this vid is that only need to install a Spektrum sat to fly the heli with my DX6e?
Yes the setups are the same for both modes :)
Really appreciate your videos. Is there a version of the Spektrum DX**** and OMP M2 setup...without the Tx "movement" :) This ol' man finds it very difficult to follow. Thank you for the work you put into the hobby!!
Hey buddy thanks for the comment. I am not sure what you mean by the TX movement?
@@33forsaken lol. The radio moving back and forth.
@@33forsaken :) No biggie. I just prefer a stationary radio during setup videos.
Thanks for the great information! I am trying to get my settings right for my Goosky S2 with my DX8. The DX8 is probably 10 years old. I do not have the channel assign, or Rx Port Assignments or the channel input config windows. So I dont know how to connect the Gear to channel 5. I did get the swash set properly to the normal 1 servo setting. Everything seems to work properly but I have no pitch control. when I move the left stick up and down no movement from the swash plate. the right stick moves the swash plate normally. Frustrating!! If any body has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks so much!!

On the subject of the OMP M2 V2 throttle curve. It was my understanding that they needed to be flat. Something like, Normal 0-50-50-50-50, IU-1 70-70-70-70-70 and IU-2 80-80-80-80-80, or something similar. Do the curves you show work? Curious.
They so work but the oodated ESC (V2 and EXP model) have a build in governor. I suggest setting a flat curve
Yes you are correct, flat curves like 60 normal 70 idle 1 and 80 idle 2. The Gov will handle the rest.
It was my bad at first but latter corrected it.
Managed to get the M2 EXP at Christmas, have done the required pre-steps and it is now bound to my dx6e radio. I use switch B for flight-mode changing where position 0 is for normal/SAFE, position 1 for idle up 1 and position 2 for idle up 2. With the radio on and flight mode switch at 0, I plug a battery into the heli and after it has initialized, I see a solid red light (on left-hand side) and a solid blue light (on right-hand side) in the tiny LED window on the flybarless controller. Does this mean that stabilization/self-levelling is active? In idle up 1 and 2, the red led blinks whilst the blue stays solid. Does that sound correct?
So which is the spektrum satellite with bind button ?
I see alot of pilots using those sort of throttle curves (not constant) but wonder why? Doesn't the fc have a governor? Why do you have to goose it at higher pitch? If the governor does it's job that shouldn't be necessary right? Unless you actually want head speed to change? Or are you assuming the head will bog at high pitch?
No I now use a flat curve after doing my testing. This was just my overall setup before the first flight. This models does have the GOV so there is no need to V curve unless to make boost in pitch.
Hi Freddy, at approx 16.00 on your video, you show us the 'external binding' process. I am due to receive my OMP M2 EXP in a few days (hopefully!!) and would ask could I use a Spektrum AR610 as my external bind receiver? I do have an SPM9645 satellite which I will fix to the OMP flybarless unit as you have done. Which port did you plug the battery into for the temporary power needs to bind to your transmitter? Does the M2 EXP come with any form of SAFE/Stabilization?
Great video! What is the range of the gyro channel 5. I assume 100% is stabilize and -100% shuts down stabilize. Is this correct?
To my understanding this is correct
There is also a mode in between. I'm not sure of the exact value. But there is stability, 3d Normal, 3d violent. Stability is self explanatory, difference between 3d normal and 3d violent is the roll rate. 3d violent is much faster.
Personally I have the omp flight mode (ch5) mapped to another witch then my idle up switch. This means I can run idle up in stability mode if i wanted. Or what I use most iu2 80%ch curve in soft 3 mode, as I'm not that great of a 3d pilot and mostly do sporty flying. But the higher headspeed helps with wind and overall responsiveness
I'm setting up on a JR 12x. Not sure what to do with gear channel…3 position switch but at what end points eg 0, 50 and 100%? I can obviously mix this to the flight mode switch then
Also, are you getting swash reactions when you move the heli on the bench…I'm not?
I’m using the dx6i. I don’t recall the radio having an F mode. What would I use instead? Thanks and always like your vids! Very informative.
All radios 6 channel and up will have the Fmode switch. It just allows you to change your rpm and flight modes, its usually the top left switch on the radio.
@@33forsaken Thank you for the reply. I’m pretty new to this side of the hobby which I’m sure is pretty evident. I’m still practicing on the SIM and the XK K110. Thanks again for your help.
@@123corpsman Any time my friend :)
What Spektrum satellite Rx is good to use on this heli? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere...
Just get the latest DSMX model that they use and its perfect.
so i can use my microbeast off my 450l to bind the satilite rx, then swap the satilite to the omp?
Yes you just need to get the sat bound and your all set.
Hey, did you fix the deadband issue? If so, can you please explain how. Thank you for any help.
I still have not had any issues with the dead band although I keep hearing about it.
Hi Freddy, very nice video, do you have the setup for Futaba? Thanks
I am sorry I do to at this time :(
Easiest way to get your satellite bound and heli bound with no receiver other then your DSM/DSMX satellite is to use this nifty little guy here. >> iRangeX BM01 Bind Module for Spektrum Compatible DSM2 DSMX Satellite Receivers. Just an FYI for those not having or wanting to purchase a receiver plus satellite and this can be reused it does not mount to heli after binding.
Thanks for the share and information :)
freddy question bud. just got mine and im checking things i notice when i bench test my idle up my swash leans drastic but back in normal it goes back to level. havent done any thing to it. servos are close to 90 at center stick and they all seem to work fine. not sure if this is an adjustable issue or not.
hmmmm, have you by any chance accidentally added any setting in your radio specially tied to your idle up. Like any dr changes or expo or servo trims or anything like that?
@@33forsaken i just did the drift calibration and its all good now. got it all figured out flys unreal oh my gosh what a bird you will love it.
May I ask, how to set up rescue model with a spectrum transmitter?
Assinging the self stable mode to your idle up switches will work if you want to bank down to normal. Or you can just assign the channel 5 gain to another switch. Once you active it, the Heli will enter self level mode.
@@33forsaken thanks.

I'm surprised your not using an open tx transmitter, by far the most feature packed radios and they can be used with any brand of RX you want.
Take a look at the Radiomaster Tx16s, its the nuts of a radio for fuck all money!
Yes I have been hearing a lot about this, and if I can get my hands on one I would love to make some vids :)
@@33forsaken it's a complex operating system but we'll worth learning, it's the most capable out there and I'm glad I made the move over to it.
When I moved to OpenTX I started on the jumper T16 (don't buy that one)
And now have a radiomaster TX16s, it's got Hall gimbals and also has a color touchscreen, the touch is currently inactive but will be implemented in OpenTX v2.4 which is being worked on and the next version to come out.
@@stevefox3763 Sounds pretty cool, I am sure I will get around to it some day haha
I don't know about OMP M2 V2, but OMP M2 EVO has built in receiver in their flight controller unit.
if you have an OpenRX transmitter, you can use OMP protocol to bind to the unit, and need no extra external receiver.
I followed every setup step but my M2 Explore isnt doing the self level. Do i need a step to activate that function? Please help. New to OMP.
Self Level can be set two ways and its controlled by the gear channel for spectrum. you can assign that channel to your idle up switch and have normal mode have the self stable active then turns off for idle one and two. Or you go enter the gyro menu in the transmitter and activate the gyro. then if you assign to a three position switch (or any switch you want) you can use -100 and +100 values to turn off and on self level.
@@33forsaken WOOHOO!!!! Got it goin! THANKS Freddy!

Can i use a spektrum dx7 dms2 radio and a dms2 sat receiver to fly the omp m1/m2 helicopters from graham
yes that should work
hi. you let me ask. how to install gyro tail channel. i use DX8. thank you
Hi I have a dx6e...will M1 fly better on it than my T6?
Its not a matter of which radio per say its the way you decide to setup the Heli. It can fly exactly the same so to speak with both radios for the most part.
@@33forsaken so I can adjust the expo it has with the T6 from the onboard settings in flight controller? Wasn't sure if that could be handled from flight controller of MY...thanks Freddy
Your video is very informative but that back and forward with your radio in front of your camera gets old quickly!... I suggest you that for next time position yourself in a better location in which you feel comfortable showing whatever you want to show on your shot but without having to be back and forward between your camera and your eyes!...🤦🏾♂️🥴...
I gave you a Thumbs-up anyway even though I didn't finish watching your video!...👍🏾
Always love the advice buddy
I NOTICE YOU HAVE A DX7 G2 HOW MANY FLIGHTS YOU HAVE USED ON THAT TRANSMITTER , AND DID YOU EVER HAD TO SEND THE DX7 IN FOR THE POTENTIOMETER MAINTINANCE , DOES THE POTS ON THE DX7 LAST A LONG TIME , THANK YOU FOR ANY INFO
I have had it for quite a while now and I have never had any issues. I have used Spektrum products for over ten years now and they have never let me down :)
Omg your so f n long winded
Get to the binding
