Getting started with Open TX

In this video, I give an overview of OpenTX. What it is, what you can use it on, and some advantages and disadvantages. At the end of this video, you will be able to set up a new model from scratch for a traditional plane, flying wing, plank, of a plane with a forward swept wing. You will know how to plug the servos in to the receiver, and how to bind the receiver with the transmitter. Everything you need to get flying with a standard line of sight aircraft.

In this series we try to Simplify OpenTX. We look at an aspect of it and break it down in to its base parts. Hopefully this helps shallow the learning curve for this powerful transmitter firmware. If there is an aspect of Open TX you would like to know more about. Leave a comment below, and I'll add it to the list of videos that I am creating.
