If you have a model that you wish to use immediately on your Radiomaster MT12 transmitter, here’s a quick and easy tutorial on how to do it.
Since MT12 uses the EdgeTX firmware, it uses a model that consists of configurations, settings, and mixes that are set within the transmitter. It is saved as a YML (.yml) file.
To import and restore, all you have to do is copy the model’s YML file to the BACKUP folder of the SD card that comes with your transmitter and restore the model.
Download the YML File to a PC
Here’s an MT12 YML file that you can use. Go ahead and download the file to a folder on your PC.
Connect Your Transmitter to a PC via USB-C Cable
To access the SD card content, simply use a USB-C data cable and connect it to the USB port of MT12, shown below.
A pop-up will then appear on the MT12 display. Select USB Storage. Once selected, your PC should be able to access the files on the MT12 SD card. You should be able to see a folder called BACKUP.
Copy the YML File From PC to The BACKUP Folder in the SD Card
The next step is to transfer the YML file on your PC to the BACKUP folder in the SD card. Once done, we can begin to restore the model on the transmitter.
Go to Model Screen and Restore The New Model
From the main screen on MT12, press the MDL button to go to the Model screen. Here, scroll down using the roller button to an empty line. Press and hold the roller and select the “Restore model” option, as depicted below.
Then, you should be able to see the YML file you just copied over. Go ahead and select that file and press the wheel button to enter.
You Now Have a New Model on MT12
That’s it! You now should have a new model on MT12. You may select the model and begin to use it.
