![Setting up and creating model images for OpenTX and ETHOS
🔗 https://www.patreon.com/MrD_RC 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com
In this video we go through the process of adding model images or icons to your transmitter. Not only do we look at where you can download these images from. But, we also look at how you can create your own personalised images. Why have someone elses plane, when you can have yours?
Having the images is one thing, but where do you put them? Ill show you how to get them on your OpenTX (EdgeTX) and ETHOS transmitters. This is a nice simple copy, so youll be up and running in no time.
There are a couple of rule to take note of. Firstly, stick to 10 characters or less for the image names. Files with longer names just wont appear in the image list. Also if youre creating your own images; remember the image sizes needed:
🖼 OpenTX (Colour LCD transmitters): 192 x 114 pixels
🖼 ETHOS: 300 x 280 pixels
🖼 ETHOS X18(S): 180 x 166 pixels
Youll find the links to the icons site and image editor below. Ive also had a comment from audiogek fpv, who says that the Paint3D application that comes with Windows 10 is also pretty good.

08:11 - Resizing the image for OpenTX
09:26 Copying the images to an OpenTX transmitter
12:17 Copying the images to an ETHOS transmitter
15:56 Conclusion
[NOTE] ETHOS pilots. If you update to version 1.2.x and your model images are no longer visible. You need to rename your model images folder from bitmaps/user to bitmaps/models. After that, they will come back.

![iNav Programming - Re-Arm In Flight With No Restrictions
Happy Holidays everyone. As my gift for you this year, I have two videos for you. In this second video, we look at something a lot of iNav pilots seem to have trouble with. Accidentally disarming in flight. There are a couple of settings that always seem to get recommended when someone asks about this in the INAV Fixed Wing Group:
nav_extra_arming_safety and disarm_kill_switch
I believe that setting these two commands to OFF is a very bad practice. First and foremost, they are safety features. They exist to stop arming when when the model is not ready, and also to kill the motor as soon as possible. The last one is particularly important, as it can stop injury to people caused by spinning props.
In this video, I show a way to have both of these safety features enabled; yet still allow you to instantly arm the model if you accidentally disarm in flight. Its the best of both worlds.
Check out this video for examples of this solution working. It shows re-arming in nav modes, with high throttle, with autolaunch, and with tuning modes https://youtu.be/4dXFTgsq_oM Hopefully this will answer your questions.
[UPDATE] Instead of using Ground speed for the logical switch. Use 3D Speed. This will work absolutely fine on fixed wing. Plus, it would also allow this to work on multirotors. The would need to be moving in any direction above the minimum speed.
