FrSky Setup / FT Aura 5 Lite

Matt walks you through how too set up your FrSky with the Aura Lite.

At Flite Test we believe every aircraft has unique characteristics and we want every pilot to be able to fully experience them! The 6 Axis FT Aura 5 Lite board was created through a special collaboration between Flite Test and Flex Innovations to make a stabilization system that is flexible and does not eliminate the personality of the aircraft but enables you to get the most out of it no matter what your skill level is.

I'm guessing the set up and wiring is exactly the same for tbs crossfire but I for one and I'm assured many other who search specifically for it will greatly aprepreit a video just for the tbs crossfire system either with the module or the new tango 2 remote and a standard tbs crossfire receiver ! Thanks for everything you do and I hope you have the time and energy to make the crossfire video for all the crossfire users and those who don't think it can be used in fixed wing models so easily.

🥃cheers🍻

As someone mentioned already, they forgot to mention that in the transmitter Mixer screen (6/14) you also need to add Channel 5 Input (I) tied to Inputs screen Ch 05. Otherwise, your mode switch won't work.

Hi Matt! Great video! I just ordered mine from FT today. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I did see that Flex has a PC application that can be used to program the Aura.
Could you please do a video on using this Configuration utility?

[richjohnson]

I reset the Aura 5 to v1.13 with the software. Seems to be working. Maiden to follow. Matt, as a suggestion, you might want to mention the MIXER page when setting up the Taranis. Took this newbie a while to figure things out.

I'll be ordering my Aura as soon as the other item I want is in stock. I have at least 1, maybe 2 builds I want it for. Haven't decided whether it will be DSMX/DSM2 or on my Turnigy.

[josephmatte]

Could you set this up with a twin engine?

[guyb]

FT, is there scope to have a product like this that sits in series with your current receiver for the 4 primary surfaces for stabilisation, but allows you to have more channels working for other functionality? It could have a single channel input from the RX which sets the mode it operates in. Perhaps I am missing how you can use this on planes that require more than 4 channels such as retracts, flaps etc

[kkuenzel]

How would it work if you do have Flaps, Gear or other features to control? Would those need to be plugged into the receiver directly?

[ChristKrew-Rev.]

Will this work with TBS RX'S? You guys are awesome and so thankful for this new channel. Wish this was done back when but never the OUTSTANDING JOB FLITE TEST!

[ChristKrew-Rev.]

Any chance you guys can show TBS Crossfire Nano rx set up with the Aura Lite.

[edwinroper]

ok now if use the x8r reciver and connect it as per video can i use the other channel channel ports on the reciver for gear and flaps and such or will those be non operational

[robertzentai]

Is there a video how setup using radiomaster tx16s?

[haroldnash]

FT, I have setup the Aura 5 in a wing using a Taranis qx7s transmitter and the XM+ receiver. I followed your video on setting up the QX7 and Jeff's wing setup. I have bound the receiver and the servos and motor all work. When I program the different modes they work until I exit programming and reset the receiver. At that point there is no stabilization regardless of where the 3 position switch is set. What did I miss?

[CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Don't have a S-BUS. Pretty sure my old FlySky FS6T Radio isn't equipped.... But I'd LOVE to try Aura.

[dylannicolet]

Hi, can it work with the i-bus on the FlySky FS-i6 remote, since its also a digital protocol?

[jeffgrave]

DO you have to use a reciever with Sbus? I own 12 planes with older tech. Can UII just use a normal unused RC receiver channel?

[ChristKrew-Rev.]

How do you set up throws for your planes with this board? I have wings in mind that I would like this to be on by the throws are so minimal yet this was never covered at all with these videos.

[quadleader]

SOS PLEASE HELP!!! I cant get differential thrust working I am trying to set up an FT Dart on aura 5. Twin setup video? my motors are not in sync the left one (plugged into throttle) starts up first and the right one (plugged into s2, just like the option says in the computer app) starts up at about half throttle and rudder does nothing no differential action like it should.

[jacksonhawker]

Could we learn how to set up this on a AT9S please?

[Deadzone]

Is anyone in the UK 🇬🇧 going to stock this? Looks awesome great job guys 👍🏻
