Radiomaster TX16s and FrSky S6R / S8R Setup Guide [Quick Mode] • [Intermediate]

In this video I show how to bind the receiver, calibrate the stabilizer, configure the radio, configure the receiver for quick mode, and perform a receiver self-check. I also cover some interesting characteristics of gain and the relationship between stabilize mode and auto-level mode.

02:47 Bind the Receiver
03:57 Calibrate the Receiver
05:51 Configure the Radio
12:35 Configure the Receiver
25:28 Receiver Self Check

Looks like you are going to be my go to guy for using this radio. I just bought my first S6R receiver for a wing build and you have walked me through the setup. I like your style of "training". You explain everything in such a clear and easy to understand way. Thanks for your help with this! 👍😊

Excellent video and very clear thanks. I have a couple of these and when I’m done with the calibration and happy with the setup, I move channel 12 to a momentary switch. That way it becomes a panic switch but without reactivating calibration in flight. 👍

Ahhh, clarity at last. The Frsky instructions are vague, to say the least, but thanks to John I’ve seen the light and my S8R works properly. Thanks again.

Just started getting into Open Tx with the TX16S and your videos have been a great help in getting things sorted, without your videos I would be still scratching my head on how to. Really great content, cheers LA

I have had this receiver for quite awhile and could not get it to work. Thanks for this video. It is working and on top of that, I understand it. This should be called S6R/S8R for dummies. Thank you for this. Excellent work.

Ive just purchased a TX16 Mk2 and a S6R and this video has been priceless. Ill bookmark this one for sure. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

This is the best video on how to set up the SxR receivers I have viewed so far, and thank you for taking the time of creating this simple, step-by-step instruction. I have just successfully programmed my radio finally. Thank you, , Thank you. Alex, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada

I just discovered your channel, wow!!! I've subscribed. I bought a S8R 2 years ago and had to put it away. I read all the info I could find and watched all the videos. I could not understand how to setup the receiver. After viewing this video, I'm going to give it another try and I expect I will finally get it working. Great video with everything clearly explained and shown. Thanks and keep up the great videos.

[FL_Engineer]

This is why I come here, thorough answers to seeming complicated topics. I think this will go in my next plane just because I've been Frsky curious for a while.

Setting up my first S6R now.
And this vid is equally as brilliant as all your other openTX vids.
You have really helped me out a lot.👍
Heading over to Patreon...✌️

Great video as per usual, you go into all the nitty gritty of the subject brilliantly. And I also enjoyed the end where you show some of your stuff ups while making the video, shows that you care about getting it right.

Another great video. As we discussed at one point, I did get my hands on an S8R. I was able to update the S8R to the latest firmware (2.1.0) using the TX16S, very cool 👍. One thing to note, and hopefully folks will see this, if you are using 2.x firmware on your SxR receiver, you have to set the protocol in the Multi Module to FrSkyX2 D16. I’m embarrassed to admit how many times I tried to bind using the standard FrSky D16 protocol and just scratched my head wondering if something was wrong with the receiver. Funny how reading up on the different protocols on the Multi Module site can make a dumb person smart. LoL. So yes, it does work with the new 2.x firmware, the caveat being you need to be on a recent version of the Multi Module firmware and you also need to be using FrSky X2. 👍 Hope that helps someone!

Thanks for this clear tutorial. I'm now ready for flight test of my first stabilised S6R receiver. After the final calibration sequence using channel 12, I set the weight of channel 12 to zero, just in case I need to redo it - it'll be quick and easy to set it back to 100%.

[thedaddygamer]

WOW! This is EVERYTHING I needed to know... and then some. Great teaching method, informative without being onerous. Time to apply the learnings. Thank you!

[dennisb]

Was looking to upgrade my Horus X12s to the Radiomaster and found your video. Answered a lot of questions regarding SxR setup that I could not find through FrSky.
Thanks for your :-)

[vhoward]

I watched this video once and decided to buy a couple of these rx's. Then I tried to remember what I watched to set one up. I had to come watch while setting one up to finally remember. Now I am good. Nice video's

[robcampbell]

Just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this videos your tutorials are on of the best out there! You have helped me so much. Yes it did subscribed. Thanks again, Robert

[alvandergoot]

Thanks goodness for your video series. Your step by step process gives us luddites a fighting chance in setting up radios and receivers. Great Job.

[chrisellis]

Magic, thanks for the vid. So many of my questions answered on the S8R (maybe not all, only time will tell). Very clear step by step.
