What does it mean when the radio says holds one?

My CE just arrived, looking at the electric motor box it looks different from the instruction manual with the old power 90...in the video you said you used the new Spektrum motor mount system..is there a link to find this ??

Hi from Australia! Thanks for all your work with this video:) I know the NX7e doesn’t have voice, but with this new update, will it get custom sounds? The promo material made it seem like it would?

This is great I WONDER IF I COULD GET 4HIS IN MY GEN1 DX8 FOR MY V900.

Are those RC cars that drank red bull?

Can fit a small child in there 🤔

This is so dang cool

Hey Steve, Thanks for the awesome vids. Question for ya. I have the h9 Fokker d7. Bought it after seeing you seff video with model av8r. Loved the build so far. Just curious what you'd recommend for painting the ultracote and how to maintain it after painting. I plan to use rustoleum spray cans. Big question is how do you remove sags in the ultracote during the winter on a painted surface?? Any tips tricks are highly appreciated. Thank you for all you bring to the hobby, Edwin

Will the older dx controllers work with thr axs3+ receivers, or should it be kept as is

Given the track history of the iX12, it’s a shame that Spektrum didn’t make good on that by including the iX12 in the software upgrade. Anyways, have acquired 4 Spektrum transmitters over the years, iX12 was the last, after that experience no more Spektrum for me.

@stevesRC so if i update my nx6 to the latest firmware without updating the receivers will they still work as they were befor? I have mostly umx BNF planes and a apprentice s2 with a 631 receiver

Now people can buy NX8 20 Ch or NX8+ 20 Ch instead of Radiomaster. I have already older NX10 because I wanted 9 channels. Now after this update I would buy NX8+. NX10 is too expensive like local Jeti DS-12 here in the Czech Republic.

Lol. They are doing this because everyone is dropping spektrum for frysky and radiomaster that offer this out of box

Spectrum is a premium product. My problem with them is that I like to fly all kinds of stuff and I prefer my Radiomaster Zoro. Mine is with the built in 4in1 module with an external Express LRS module. There is very little I can’t bind to, including Spektrum, for less than $300. I wish Spektrum would build a radio with an internal Spektrum transmitter and an external module bay for 4in1 Modules or Express LRS Modules that didn’t break the bank. No question that Spektrum and Horizon Hobby produce incredible products with bind and fly options and my continues to grow with more than a dozen AS3X models. Can not wait to fork over $200 foe the new ME262. Would just like to see them take a stab at a truly “universal” radio. Oh and get us a AS3X P38 Lightning next. Would love to see one built around the twin otter power system/battery.

Pretty cool I have the NX7 getting 7 more channels

Do you work for Spektrum?

Your NX8 is now a 20 channel radio. No your NX8 always was a 20 channel radio, it's just the old firmware didn't allow you to use the other 12 channels. I guess all the love the Radiomaster TX16S is getting has spurred Spektrum on to give this amazing free gift to it's customers? Personally I have both the TX16 and NX8, as I fly helis I never use anything above 6CH but I guess it's nice to have the extras for future models.

Hmm the crowdstrike debacle happens the same day as the mega Spektrum firmware update, coincidence? I think not 🤔Actually I think the crowdstrike thing was the day after, but still.

Hi Steve. Do I need to update my IX14 in order to use my AS3X+ receivers? Thanks

Thank you for this video. I have the Nx6..did the update and still show 6 channels in the monitor? Any help would be great.

So If I understand these new channels are not fully proportional and independent. They must be tied to a current stick or switch. And chance with this update can you use two seperate receivers at same time.

Do, nothing for the DX8

I have the NX8 currently and this is awesome news. A huge update for us. Keep up the great work. I'm one happy camper!!

cant get the updated programming app downloaded. i have version 8.0

must be nice to have horizon pay for 14 hundred dollar servos for your airframe. all these updates are cool and all but a way for you to make quality parts cheaper so more of us can afford to have nice things would be more appreciated than the ability to drive 2 grand in servos with a radio.

Thanks for this video, I found it helpful. Please help me understand the advantage of using multiple channels for ailerons vs using a Y into one channel. Thanks in advance.

I have a new ix 14 that i absolutely love and now with the update i get 20 channels is awesome. Since i got it though my aileron/elevator gimbal makes a popping noise i can feel when applying left aileron and up elevator. Is this something i would have to send it in for ?

I didn't understand what you were saying or suggesting regarding a magnet and the NX8 charging port. Please explain.

Can't say that with my first listen I understood or caught it all but for what I did it is pretty cool stuff. [BTW, I have the NX8.]

Is this also available for my DX8 Gen 2 transmitter?

Hello I just updated my nx6 and when I go to channel assign I only see 6 options to do anything and before I would be able to see the 7 ch now I can’t even see that how do I fix this

Hey brother, how come my ix20se. radio is saying holds1. Sometimes it says holds2 when I'm in flight. What exactly does that mean thank you

What a bummer that iX12 is not considered. I feel set aside as costumer

re you doing any up dates for the IX ?

Looks good. How about cross compatability. Will an asx3x receiver work with asx3x+ transmitter, and asx3x+ receiver with asx3x transmitter? Also, the as3000 asx3x module was kind of half way to being asx3x+. Is there any "+" updates for the as3000? Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to update my nx8. When I connect to wifi , it doesn't let me choose update. what going on can't in sign in either under credentials. I have no idea.

I just updated my NX8, I can get to show 14 channels but I'm not seeing 20... like I'll ever use 20 !

Thanks for doing this!!!! I guess instead of a channel based line up it’s going to be based on physical switches and operating system on the TX???

is a channel expansion Firmware update possible for the ix12? If yes, when could we expect that?

1:17 - Minor correction, the battery in the newer + version has been minorly increased in size from 2,000 to 2,200. Other than that, I'm correct in what I say in the video.

100% gain? What, no more need to fine tune it to reduce oscillations?

One more question, will any of the STF downloads or the AS3X+ stuff be available in the 6250hx flybarless system??

HI Steve, I updated my NX8 with the newest firmware and only got 14 channels. I'm not complaining just wondering if I did something wrong or did I pick the wrong update. I fly heli's and will never use 14 or 20 channels but I am looking foward to the foward programming improvements in my planes. But again..... WHY would it not pick up 20 channels. Thanks in advance

Steve_ How do you update the AS3X+ after performing the Transmitter update--I have a NX10SE>

So they just left all dx users in the dust?

Can you provide a link to the video that talks more about stop lock and release rate. Also does AS3X+ work properly with a DX9?

It doesn’t seem they have included the IX12 transmitter unfortunately. I didn’t see any update on my transmitter yet.

My nx8 transmitter won’t turn on after update 😡😡

Is it truly 20 independent channels? I find it hard to believe they would just go from 8 to 20 channels for free without a catch.
