OpenTx Companion Tutorial • Flight Modes with 6 Position Switch • Radiomaster TX16s • [Intermediate]

This OpenTx tutorial from http://rcvideoreviews.com shows you how to configure Flight Modes on OpenTx and how to switch modes using the 6 position switch.

UPDATE: One of our RCVR subscribers: Johan informed me he found there is a bug in OpenTx Companion that does not always recognize activation of the 6P switch; however, in the radio, the switch does appear to activate and is recognized in individual Flight Modes as the selector. So if you want to use the 6P switch as a source in the radio, you can do that, but you will not be able to validate your config using OpenTx. You can validate it within the radio though, and you should do that anyway.

This is not to be confused with flight modes on flight computers/autopilots. The flight modes covered in this video are radio flight modes which allow various configurations of trims, rates, and mixes within the individual modes. This has nothing to do with stabilization, hover, waypoints, or return to home.

I learned while editing the video the 6 position switch must also be calibrated during the OpenTx hardware calibration process. I cover both calibrated and uncalibrated 6 position channel outputs in the video.

Before you attempt the techniques demonstrated in this video, you should be comfortable using OpenTx Companion and with creating mixes. You can get up-to-speed with the two videos below:
