Leave a reply

Did you see Craig’s post on the Proteus Facebook Group regarding the way he has set up his IOM mainsheet joystick??

In fact, a couple of the Datchet guys are working more with this idea now. It requires 101% concentration, but you can see the attraction.

Craig has it set up on his Spektrum. To do it similarly on your Radiomaster or Futaba transmitter is another variation on the “Advanced Mainsheet Management” sections of our online Radiomaster/Futaba radio sailing manuals.

Radiomaster : Advanced Transmitter Guide for Radio Sailors….!!

Leave a reply

As we write, (14 January 2026) our Radio Sailing Beginners Guides to Transmitters have been downloaded globally 1,600 times. 958 of those downloads were for Radiomaster.

Today we have launched our Advanced Radio Sailors’ User Manual for Radiomaster Transmitters. It covers all the very sexy features that many of you have been waiting for.

It has taken time from several Datchet Members to pull all this together.

Instead of publishing a pdf download manual as we have previously, this time we have given the transmitter its own website. Now you can use it from the side of the lake reading from your phone!!

If you look at the website’s menu bar, you can also download our previous Radio Sailing Beginner’s Guides to Flysky, Futaba, and Spektrum (download from USA). We have also included our advanced Futaba User guide which covers the same advanced Radio Sailing features as the new website. All our Transmitter manuals in one, easy-to-find place.

To see it, click on “RADIOS” on the menu bar above.

Spektrum – Another Good Item on Setting up Program Mixers !!

We have written about this a couple of times before, but until there’s time for us to get an up to date radio sailors manual written for the Spektrum take a look at this.

This website has an online link to a very good (US) radio sailors manual for the Spektrum DX6E. However, I think that the DX6E cannot do program mixing. The later DX8 and DX9 have it though. Program mixing enables you to implement “pinch and puff” modes on left-right throttle stick (mainsheet stick) movements.
