Well............, it’s about time LOL:Cool:. I’m happy to see this. I’ve been using FrSky products for quite some time now with good success. People at the field ask about them constantly. The flexibility the products have provided has been fantastic, and the value is great for the features included. I tried out their Taranis X9D originally, enjoyed it, and purchased the upgraded version called the Plus of their X9D. Now I’m using FrSky’s Horus X12S, and will also be owning the Horus X10S.
There are aspects of FrSky’s radios and accessory operations, programming, etc. that will require some attention to detail, an open mind, and patience. It was well worth the effort for me to learn. I’ve used the out of the box firmware, as well as open source called OpenTX, and try to stay up to date with any changes that occur over time.
There are many radios in their line-up that will likely suffice at the budget, features, and style a person is looking for. It’s difficult to beat a telemetry capable receiver like their X8R (and variations), that can daisy chain telemetry sensors easily via smart port in the receiver, provide RSSI (link/signal strength), provide receiver voltage telemetry, include 8 channels or 16 if binding two together appropriately, has S-BUS capability to provide added channels, relatively light, etc., all at roughly $30-35 a piece. FrSky has started releasing receivers with stabilization built in as well, which is nice to have. Newly added is also Reducancy Bus in case a person feels more comfortable with redundancy in situations such as on a complex, expensive, and/or large aircraft. Even what’s considered to be a budget option radio, the Taranis, has 16 channel capability (or even 32 if need be by specific means), which is likely more channels than most would or may ever need.
I’m looking forward to MotionRC receiving stock of FrSky’s product line as it provides customers with more options, and another vendor to purchase equipment. Having more options is nice.
