Let's talk DX18 here!
The middle port is actually a secondary battery port. This would be used if you were to use a receiver battery pack for your servos.
For what it's worth....
Thanks Andy, you could have told me this a few days ago.
It doesn't "do" anything. It doesn't have an official purpose.
You can use it for a battery port, or just leave it unconnected. Somebody figured out that the BATT port on one of the new 9-channels is really a 10th channel and tried to make this one do that too, but they were disappointed.
Andy
Like in the hundreds, makes me nervous about flying it.
Will try it on an old plane first.
What happens is if there is a problem, it shows up at 15-20m and by 30m you have absolutely NOTHING. The range test is calibrated so that you should be OK at 30m, very high fades at 35m, and nothing at all by 40m.
Digital communications are basically an all-or-nothing deal. They drop off very suddenly. If that's what you're seeing, you're golden.
Andy
Of course, I couldn't see how many failures there probably were, now I can, and it's a little different.
I'll have to get used to how many antenna fades are 'normal'.
Thanks Andy

I have it set up to retract the flaps at 90% throttle.
What I want to do is use half flap for take off, with full throttle.
Would also like to have full flap on throttle cut in case I need to go around.
Is this possible?
Andy, have a question about throttle cut for my flaps.
I have it set up to retract the flaps at 90% throttle.
What I want to do is use half flap for take off, with full throttle.
Would also like to have full flap on throttle cut in case I need to go around.
Is this possible?
Half flap at takeoff with full power but retract over 90%? At the same time?
Full flap on Throttle Cut? You mean with the throttle stick down? "Throttle Cut" is something completely different.
It sounds like you are talking about having Flightmodes. A Takeoff mode where flaps stay pinned to half.A Normal mode for flaps being retracted.And a Landing mode where the flaps are controlled by the Thr stick.Or just have the flaps retract when the throttle goes up in Landing mode so you dont have to remember to work the flap switch?
Can you explain exactly what you are trying to achieve in a little more detail?
On landing, if I need a go-around, I want the flaps to go up when throttle goes over say 90%.
If they go to takeoff flap position, that would be OK.
Full throttle with full flaps makes this plane hard to handle.
This is a heavy jet and I don't want to be fumbling around for switches if there's trouble near the ground.
The runway at our field is a little on the short side, so this could happen.
Does the wing type make this option unavailable.
I think I have one ail and one flap selected.
I then mixed in aux 3 I think it was for the other flap.
I don't see why that would be a problem
Andy
I know the dangers, that's why I would set throttle to 90%.
There's more danger fumbling with switches close to the ground and stall speed.
It was easy on my 9303, it was in the flap menu.
I can't believe a radio this powerful wouldn't have this feature.

What exactly is the difference practically during flying Can one differentiate between the two when the model is flying.
On my Spektrum DX 18 Tx once I choose the DSMX option, it gives a choice of 2 Frame Rates-Either 11 ms or 22 milliseconds specifying that if 11 ms is selected then Digital Servos MUST be used.

A very good pilot, with fast servos on 6 or 8v.....probably. Especially with things like 3d planes and high end helis.
Most of us? Not very likely.
Before you can download updates, you first have to register your product at http://www.spektrumrc.com/MyAccount/Login.aspx
From there, you will have access to all required updates available for your radio.
Note: All software files are unique to the serial number registered online and will only work with the matching transmitter. Using an SAX file created from a different account or serial number will fail.
