v1.0.0 - First public release

Overview

This is the first ever public release of my Heli Profiles.

What's new

• Add three profile templates:
  • Ex1-DSMX-BX.
  • Ex2-ELRS-B2.
  • Ex3-OMP-OMP.

Each template has these features:

• Bank Switching.
  • Subject to hardware availability - Some flight controller manufacturers hide this vital feature behind pay walls.
• Control Isolation.
  • Saves your servos by turning off your sticks, when they are not needed.
• Pit Mode.
  • In this mode, your helicopter's motor will never start up.
  • You can use your sticks to operate your helicopter's collective, cyclic & tail controls independently of your motor.
  • Perfect for working on your helicopter while it is on the bench.
• RPM Switching.
  • Traditional Normal, Idle Up 1 & Idle Up 2 RPM settings, that you can adjust yourself.
• Two-Step Safety Arming.
  • Prevents unintended/accidental start-ups.

How to use Two-Step Safety Arming

Arming

1. Lift-&-hold switches SF & SH for three seconds.
2. Release switch SH.
3. When you hear your controller call out "Armed. Stick commands enabled." You are now armed & ready.

Pro Tip: To cancel the arming process, simply hold SF & SH up for 5 or more seconds, & then release switch SH.

Starting

To start your helicopter, simply flip your SF switch down. Your controller will call out "Throttle Active" & your helicopter's motor will start.

Shutdown

To shut your helicopter down, flip your SF switch up. Your controller will call out "Throttle Cut" & your helicopter's motor will stop.

Disarming

This is simply the same process as arming:

1. Lift-&-hold switches SF & SH for three seconds.
2. Release switch SH.
3. When you hear your controller call out "Disarmed. Stick commands disabled." You are now disarmed & your helicopter is completely inert.

Pro Tip: To cancel the disarming process, simply hold SF & SH up for 5 or more seconds, & then release switch SH.

Installation

1. Download the RadioMaster_TX16S.zip file.
2. Extract the RadioMaster TX16S subfolder to wherever you store your SD card contents for synchronising to your controller. In my case, I store mine in C:\%userprofile%\OneDrive\EdgeTX\Companion\SD Cards\ for cloud storage & backup.
3. Open up EdgeTX Companion.
4. Synchronise your SD Card contents.
5. Look for the templates under Manage Models ► New Model ► Personal
