    What a fantastic video, well done. Have just bought a T-28 and an NX8, only my second plane, was dreading setting it all up (via the manual) but you have made the task so much easier. Next time you are in Ireland I will buy you a pint.

    Thanks for your very detailed and clear instructions. The first instruction that I’m fully able to read on screen. Good and stable camerawork 👍
    My T28 1.2m with my NX8 is arriving tomorrow 🙂
    I’ll know what to do now.
    Hope the weather will change soon, because with the current november winds and rains here in Holland, testing her in real flight might have to wait for a few weeks.
    Many thanks

    Nice. I have an NX10 and I will be setting it for a brand new in the box E-Flight T-28 I just picked up.. Your video is gonna help me alot. I don't want to use the "pre-fabbed" downloadable settings because I wanna learn how to do it myself. Will probably go without the reversing for now. Maybe add that in later. This is my 3rd plane. Graduating from an Apprentice STS and an AeroScout. Can't wait to get this T-28 up in the air. I feel like its my 1st "real" airplane.
    Appreciated your hard work on the video.
    Subbed.

  • @todtalk3912
    @todtalk3912 Před rokem +1

    This was a spectacular video.
    So much info here.
    You did an amazing job, bith with camera angle, also, explaining what you were doing. Also, why you are doing what you are doing.
    For me, that is key.
    It's hard for me to learn something, if I'm only doing it, because the manual is telling me to do it.
    I love knowing why it's the way it is.
    The reverse thrust, was the best explanation I've ever seen.
    Also, never knew most planes, if not all, could have have that feature.
    Understandable, there is an inherent risk when using that, especially if its on a plane not designed for it.
    I have this plane, had it for about 5 years now maybe? I got it, about when they re-released this with the flaps and retracts.
    I couldn't be happier with this plane.
    The only downside for me, is that I flew this plane, before I was as experienced as I am. Consequently, have had some less than spectacular landings.
    Subsequently, this left me than less than optimal performing retracts.
    Now, they did just release a new 1.2m mustang.
    I'm curious if the rears, are similar to those.
    They also released something else that has tricycle landing gear, of similar size that I may be able to replace the retracts.
    Do you know of an aftermarket replacement that is possibly stronger than the oem gear.
    That is the only weak point to this plane I have found.
    This is a solid plane.

  • @michaelkrailo5725
    @michaelkrailo5725 Před rokem +2

    In the flap settings the book has you set 2% elevator compensation for each flap setting. If that isn't how you like the trim while flaps are deployed, then you can simply change it there to a different percentage effectively doing the same thing as your flight mode setup. The advantage of using the flight mode setup is that you can dynamically set those elevator trims on the fly for each mode. Just thought I would point that out. Technically, you can also adjust that one setting on the fly as well but I usually just land and set it. Rinse and repeat. If your using flight modes, you don't really need the 2% or any compensation set there since you are doing it via flight modes.
    BTW, I changed over to your bright green on black and like that a lot. The time remaining tip on the bind button is also a new trick I didn't know about that I'll have to setup on all my other planes now.

    • @kentuckyoutdoorexplorer5797
      @kentuckyoutdoorexplorer5797  Před rokem

      I use time remaining on the bind button on every plane. I never like taking my eyes of the plane unless it is a must!

  • @Tallguysrc
    @Tallguysrc Před rokem +1

    Note on the new planes you do not have to bind in safe anymore you can turn it on and off in forward programming

  • @Hollywoody911
    @Hollywoody911 Před rokem

    Thanks for the great vid! I just got the Nx8 and was wondering if you knew if you can set/program as3x gain? If so could you please give details. Thanks again!

  • @notoo7

  • @edhage374
    @edhage374 Před 11 měsíci

    Great video,now used it for the second plane...but,is there a way to copy for next,same kinda plane?...and...again,when you put on safe mode,you have the gyro characteristics,but when you put on the as3x mode...nothing happens,so...what is the use of as3x when it has no effects..as you say ,you always fly with as3x...wasn't able to figure that one out yet🤔

  • @cgcgcg69

    Many people don't use throttle reverse so If you're not using the throttle reverse turn break off.

  • @leeshaver2347
    @leeshaver2347 Před rokem

    Your step by step instructions are the best I've seen yet for the NX series transmitters. What addition I'd like to see are the instructions for setting up SAFE on an AR637T or comparable receiver.

  • @edhage374
    @edhage374 Před rokem

    learned a lot,know my transmitter better now!...only thing i still don understand/have to discover....about as3x.....you have the savfe mode,but,what does as3x do......

  • @ed_1969
    @ed_1969 Před rokem

    I have a new t-28 1.2m version 1 I havent flown yet but have upgraded with a stronger front landing gear wheel assembly, a stronger esc and I just added a ar8360t and I also just got a nx8. This video worked great for me! Thank you 👍

    • @todtalk3912
      @todtalk3912 Před rokem

      Where did you get the gear? Do you have a link?
      I have this plane as well.
      Mine is about 5yrs old, I got when they originally released it.
      Anyway, my nose gear is complete rubbish, I haven't flown it much because when testing it, it fails to deploy about 30% of the time.
      I have done some pretty hard landings when I first got it.
      I wasn't obv as experienced as I am now.
      Point is, I'd love a stronger replacement.
      Also, if you know of any rear retracts as well, be interested in that too.
      Thanks, happy flying

  • @niclucas1767
    @niclucas1767 Před 2 lety

    Very well done, thanks. I don’t know how much difference it makes, but the instructions say to have the d/r and expo on 100% when you set up Safe. Also, is your system of using FLIGHT modes just to test the amount of elevator compensation needed for the two of the three flap positions, so that you can then set them up permanently in the flap menu? I need to start using Flight Modes like you have as I’ve ever known how to use them.

    • @kentuckyoutdoorexplorer5797
      @kentuckyoutdoorexplorer5797  Před rokem

      I leave flight modes turned on forever. I can then trim the elevator during flight....and 6 months later I can still adjust the trim if I think it is a little off when the flaps down.

  • @arnoldgines3381
    @arnoldgines3381 Před 2 lety

    Hi sir good day..I just wanna ask,why you did not set the curves for your plane? I'm a newbie on this hobby.
    Thanks

    • @trondaustad7803
      @trondaustad7803 Před rokem

      you make curves because then you have smoother movement in the center of your ruder .aileron and elevator, that makes your flying much smuther

    • @trondaustad7803
      @trondaustad7803 Před rokem

      if you fell safe you dont need them

  • @Glockman-vg4mb
    @Glockman-vg4mb Před rokem

    Are you sure you have to hold the bind button on the receiver to bind? Don’t you just press it for a couple seconds, release it and it flashes indicating it’s in bind mode? Also surprised you don’t mention with transmitter off once the receiver light is flashing….depress the blind button on the top of the transmitter holding it don while turning it on. To me… Easier than going through the menu. Great vid

    • @kentuckyoutdoorexplorer5797
      @kentuckyoutdoorexplorer5797  Před rokem

      From my understanding, there are two ways to bind, with the option to use safe and without the option to use safe. If you don't hold in the button, safe will not be an option. I like the option to turn it on if I lose orientation or by accident fly the plane through the sun in the evenings. You can also use a bind plug instead of the button, but it is the opposite. If you bind with the plug in, safe will not be an option. If you wait until the receiver is in bind mode, pull the plug and then bind with transmitter safe will be available. I didn't want to go though all that, i figure it just complicates things.
