Step 2: Begin by powering on your transmitter and entering AirWare. On the home screen, tap the top-left corner where your current model name is displayed then long-press proceed to disable RF.
Step 3: In the top-right of the "Model Utilities" screen, you will see three stacked dots. Tap this selection and tap the "Export Models" selection. Step 4: Note that you need to select your file extension before proceeding. If you are transferring model s to a DX radio, you need to export in the. SPM format.
If you are transferring to another iX radio, choose the. Note that the NX radio family can read either format. Step 5: For the sake of this article, I will only be exporting one model my Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 10cc.
However, you can select as many models as you like or all of them at this time. The "Save to Disk" option only saves your model locally which is not our goal. Step 6: You have now entered the Export with screen, where we need to select the "ES Save" to function. Step 8: You may get a Hint pop-up at this time asking for you to choose the root directory. Step 9: To correct this, located the three stacked bars in the top left of the screen.
Tap this option and navigate to and select the extsd option. I label the folder with todays date and the name of the radio I am exporting from. After naming your folder, you select ok. Step Your screen should display an empty folder with the title displayed in the top left.
Now, tap the select button at the bottom of the screen. This will dump you back to the Choose Path screen. Step Your folder should now be visible. Tap it, the tap the select feature, which essentially finalizes the location and begins the export process. Be sure to select the extsd option again, then chose the proper folder for the exported model s. You can double-check this by inserting your SC card into a computer OR pretending to do a model import and confirming that the file does indeed exist in the directory you chose learn more about this in the import section below.
Tap this selection and tap the Import Models selection. Each model should highlight as seen in the photo. Once you have selected all applicable models, tap the confirm button. Step 6: Briefly you see get a loading screen. If you are importing multiple models, this may take a minute.
Step 7: When the process is complete, you should be taken back to the "Model Utilities" screen. Scroll down to your newly imported model s. We will be using a NX8 for this portion of the article. However, this process can be mirrored on other applicable models including the NX6 and NX Using a Flight Log—Optional External sensors allow rpm, external voltage and temperature to be displayed on screen in real time.
Alarms can. The DX8 offers sophisticated programming to meet the demands of even the most experienced airplane and helicopter pilots. An easy-to-use rolling selector combined with intuitive software makes setting up models quick and easy. The DX8 is SD-card compatible allowing an infinite number of models to be stored and transferred.
Flying receivers designed for parkflyers in larger aircraft could cause loss of connection. The charge jack on the right side of the transmitter is non-polarity-critical, allowing you to use any type of volt supply to charge the battery regardless of connector polarity. Use only a 12V DC source. With the transmitter power turned off, plug the included 12 volt power supply into a wall outlet. Then plug the male charge plug into the charge jack. The blue LED on the front of the transmitter will illuminate.
When charging a LiPo, the blue light will turn off when the charge cycle is complete. A low battery alarm sounds when the battery reaches 4. LiPo batteries have a higher operational voltage and when switching to a 2-cell LiPo battery in the transmitter, it is important to change the low battery alarm to the LiPo setting to prevent over-discharging the pack.
In the System Setting screen see page 20 in your manual rotate the roller to select NEXT at the bottom right of the System setting screen. The following screen appears. The low voltage cutoff will default to the recommended voltage for the battery type selected. The voltage cutoff can be adjusted from this screen, but normally the default cutoff of 6. Failure to exercise caution while using this product and comply with the following warnings could result in product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat, FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage.
If the transmitter antenna or related components become damaged the output strength can be severely impeded which could lead to a crash, injury, and property damage. The DX8 utilizes a roller that can be rotated or pressed and two buttons, Back and. If the 2. If the transmitter finds no open channels a warning screen appears and.
Note: Pressing the roller for more than three seconds will. Note: When the transmitter is turned off, the trims and left and right. Moving the switch.
If the transmitter is left on and no input is given. Note: Not for use in airplanes that have full carbon fuselages. Not for use in airplanes that have significant carbon or conductive structures. It is recommended to use one of the carbon fuselage receivers. In gas and glow aircraft install the main receiver by wrapping it in protective foam and fastening it in place using rubber bands or hook and loop strap.
In electric airplanes or helicopters, you can use thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the main receiver in place. Mount the remote in a slightly different location from the primary receiver. This gives tremendous improvements in path diversity. Essentially, each receiver sees a different RF environment and this is key to maintaining a solid RF link. This is especially the case in aircraft with substantial conductive materials e. Using servo tape, mount the remote receiver keeping it at least 2 inches away from the primary antenna.
Ideally, you should position the antennas. In airplanes, we recommend mounting the primary receiver in the center of the fuselage on the servo tray and the remote receiver to the side of the fuselage or in the turtle deck. Do not use amplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions with Spektrum equipment. Only use standard non-amplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions. Onboard power systems must provide adequate power, without interruption, to the receiver even when the system is fully loaded servos at maximum flight.
Inadequate power systems are a primary cause of in-flight failures. Some components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include: the selected receiver battery pack number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of charge , switch harness, battery leads and, if used, the regulator and power bus.
Test the system per the following guidelines to a minimum voltage of 4. This will compensate for battery discharging or actual flight loads that are greater than ground test loads. When setting up large or complex aircraft with multiple high-torque servos, use a current and voltmeter HAN Plug the voltmeter in an open channel port in the receiver, and with the system on, load the control surfaces on your aircraft by applying pressure with your hand.
Monitor the current as you load control surfaces. The voltage should remain above 4. With the current meter inline with the receiver battery lead, load control surfaces while monitoring the current.
Short-duration current spikes of up to 5 amps are acceptable. If your system draws more than these currents, you need to use multiple packs of the same capacity with multiple switches and multiple leads plugged into the receiver. If using a regulator, perform tests for a 5-minute period. A regulator may provide adequate short-term power, but this tests its ability to maintain voltage at significant power levels over time. For really large aircraft or complex models, multiple battery packs with multiple switch harnesses are necessary.
No matter what power systems you choose, always carry out test 1. Make sure the receiver is constantly provided with 4. Use a charger that displays total charge capacity. Note the number of mAh put into a discharged pack to verify the charge is at full capacity. You must bind the receiver to the transmitter before the receiver will operate. Binding teaches the receiver the specific code of the transmitter, so it will only connect to that transmitter. Proceed to Step 2. Power the receiver.
The LED on the receiver will be flashing, indicating the receiver is ready to be bound to the transmitter. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions low throttle and neutral control positions. Press and hold the trainer button while powering on transmitter.
The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating connection. Power off the transmitter and store the bind plug in a convenient place.
After setting up your model, rebind the system so the true low throttle and neutral control surface positions are set. When you bind your transmitter, you are programming the receiver with failsafe defaults.
If connection is lost between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver immediately operates in those preprogrammed default positions.
Those positions are failsafes. SmartSafe Failsafe is always active in both hold last command failsafe and in preset failsafe. SmartSafe is a safety feature on the throttle channel only that offers the following benefits:.
SmartSafe is automatically set when hold last command failsafe or Preset failsafe is programmed or the system is bound. Confirm the failsafe setting is correct by turning off the transmitter. The throttle should go to the preset low throttle position. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle. Go into the Flight Mode s Setup in the transmitter. We can choose two switches with up to 5 Flight Modes for fixed wing planes assigned to them.
This offers lots of versatility, particularly with larger models that may have a bunch of channels. After selecting the switch, you can see the screen change as you move it through the three positions. Three Flight Modes are available by default when enabled but you do not have to use all three. Click on NEXT and we move to the screen where switch positions are identified. You can alter the positions if desired, but I leave them in the default order.
There are a bunch of spoken options available within the transmitter that require some hunting, but you can personalize it if desired. Go back to the main menu and click into the Trim Setup menu. You will see a list of all the controls that can be assigned to a Flight Mode. I normally enable Throttle and Elevator for my simple Flight Modes. You can add more depending on what you want Flight Modes to do for you.
I am only establishing Flight Modes for landing and normal flight configurations. To add a control to Flight Modes , scroll down to that control and over to the Trim Type column, click on that and use the roller button to change that entry to Flight Mode. In the Trim Setup we can also change how each click of the transmitter trim tabs act.
The default is 5, how many actual trim steps that are added with each click of the trim tab. Think of how we change Sub Trims in the servo screens where we make changes one step at a time. This trim setup allows us to make trim changes coarser with 10 steps per trim click being the maximum allowed.
