The Frsky Taranis X-Lite TX has the shape of a gaming controller. It’s much smaller than traditional radio transmitters, the compact size means you can take it virtually anywhere. In this review we will check out the build quality, features, and how to set up the X-Lite for the first time.
We will test and compare the latency of Frsky R9M-Lite with that of the TBS Crossfire. Both are great 900MHz RC systems for long range and many are having trouble deciding which to get. With latency being one of the main considerations we hope you find the test useful.
During the latency testing on the Frsky X-Lite, we discovered some interesting results. There is delay in the gimbals, (how often the gimbal value is being updated), and additional delay caused by OpenTX’s sample averaging.
The Frsky X-Lite has an external module bay that is too small to fit standard size JR modules including the TBS Crossfire. Are we giving up that easily? HELL NO! A few people have been taking the X-Lite apart as soon as they received the the first batch, and trying to find out whether they can get it working.
This tutorial explains how to flash the latest OpenTX firmware to Taranis X9D plus and QX7. in order to use many new cool features, it’s required to have OpenTX 2.2 installed on the radio. Including LUA scripts that allow you to change VTX and FC settings from your FrSky Taranis TX.
It’s important to setup failsafe properly on your mini quad for maximum safety and preventing fly-away. In this tutorial I will explain what failsafe is, and how to set it up in Betaflight as well as on your Taranis TX radio transmitter and receiver.
LQ and RSSI can be confusing for first time TBS Crossfire users. In this tutorial I will try to explain what the differences are between LQ and RSSI in Crossfire. I will also show you how to set it up in Betaflight and OpenTX on the Taranis TX to monitor your link quality and range.
This simple guide explains how I setup TBS Crossfire with my Taranis X9D Plus in Betaflight, how to connect and configure Crossfire receiver, how to bind, how to setup LUA script, etc. The process should be similar in other Frsky radios.
We have been very excited about the release of the Frsky X-Lite, a gamepad style RC transmitter, however we also learned that the X-lite is unlikely to be compatible with the TBS Crossfire external module, which is a huge disappointment to some users. Don’t worry! The Dark Knight Nirvana TX from UndergroundFPV might be a good alternative.
For long range flying, RC links is just as important as your FPV video link. In this review we will have a look at some long range RC options: the Frsky R9M and TBS Crossfire. These are the two most popular TX modules compatible with the Taranis X9D and QX7 transmitters.
There are many transmitter options available for mini quads. While many would recommend a high end transmitter, beginners might choose to save a bit of cash on selecting a TX. This is completely understandable when you don’t know if the hobby is really for you, and this is where the FlySky range comes in.
The iRangeX IR8M radio transmitter is a multi-protocol TX that is compatible with Frsky, Spektrum DSM2/DSMX, Flysky, Walkera and many other radio systems. In this article we will take a look at the product spec and discuss the possible pro’s and con’s.
