Spektrum DX8 Gets Sailplane Programming <hr size="1" style="background-color: #7a99d2; color: #7a99d2" />
Casual sailplane pilots often set up their aircraft using the acro/airplane tools in their radio. But "real" sailplane pilots want sailplane specific programming. The DX8 lacked this feature.
Spektrum announced a free SW upgrde for DX8 owners that adds sailplane programming.

RE: Spektrum DX8 gets sailplane programming
I downloaded the upgrade earlier this week and installed it yesterday. It installed perfectly. Thanks for the link to the pdf file. It explains a lot. I downloaded the first 8 pages as the rest is in another language.

RE: Spektrum DX8 gets sailplane programming
I down loaded the new program. Pretty straight forward. I couldn't get the throttle to work on the trainer button. I did the switch assignment at the beginning and nothing.
