Friends recommend upgrading its gimbals to hall-sensor gimbal (not particularly expensive either).

EdgeTX is more or less the continuation of OpenTX. In my opinion, it is more than worthwhile to take some time to get to grips with the programming logic, because its possibilities are as good as endless. Even today, I was discussing with a fellow club member who is into DLG. He wanted to combine two switches and a potmeter to control the flaps, and after only a minute or so, we got exactly what he wanted. I seriously doubt whether that is even remotely possible with the other radio systems, and he was really delighted about the sheer power and possibilities of this system. It is really just a myth that this is extremely hard to learn or use, you just have to get to grips with the base logic of it.
Ethos is the user-friendly version of OpenTX really, based heavily on those principles, but with a more fancy user interface.
Just keep an open mind about these systems, try them out, invest a minimum of time in understanding the logic, and you'll see the limitless possibilities soon enough.

OTx is the best thing since the invention of chocolate!
I concur with HangarQueen. OTx is definitely not difficult, rather the opposite IMO. I find it much more straightforward and less limiting than virtually any other Tx OS out there ATM.
Spending some time getting to properly learn and understand your transmitter should be a mandatory effort anyways. Shouldn't take much more than a weekend or two to really achieve a solid grasp.

Nice.
A good resource for OTX is the OpenTX University, with lots of info and tutorials: https://open-txu.org/

You'll appreciate being able to program stuff without as many limitations :)
For many years I also kept flying EDF jets with an old Futaba T8UP. The radio was rock solid, and I loved it, but it just didn't offer half of what I needed it to.
And while some functions are pretty accessory and one can live without them, I've come to appreciate things like tailerons, flight modes, built-in telemetry and endless mixes to really be able to customize my aircraft to my own preferences with virtually no limitations. Tailerons really change the way a model flies and the possibilities of what it can do, it's not just about extreme aerobatics but safety in general. Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy all of this soon ^^

I wonder if an SU35 ever flew off a carrier deck ?

So, if I go for tailerons on my su35 what are my options for the main wing ailerons, flaps only ? It would be useful if someone would give me a channel list . It looks like I might need more than 10 channels if I add flaps and gyro ( i already have flaps and gyro on my current limited setup )so do I need more hardware for ibus. ? My iA10B rx has ibus which I believe enables me to go up to I8 channels. Also do I use some channels so I can switch off tailerons and go to my original inboard flaps and aileron option if I want to using flight modes. Things are getting more complicated than I would like

Originally posted by kallend View PostI had flaperons originally, but decided it was too much bother since it lands so easily anyway. I have my VT nozzles Y'd to my rudders and tailerons and get by with 8 channels just fine. The taileron mix is provided by a HE A3S4 gyro.
ia10b RX setup with radiolink Tx as follows :-
Channel 1 Left taileron Y`d to left (up/down )vt servo to gyro out 1
Channel 2 Left Elevator to gyro out 2
Channel 3 Throttle/motor
Channel 4 rudders Y`d to central left to right vt servo to gyro out 3
Channel 5 Landing gear
Channel 6 Flaps( I have the inboard flaps now so I might as well have the option to use them with a touch of down elevator mix as a flight mode.
Channel 7 slider gain switch connected to A2-E2-gain port on gyro.
Channel 8 gyro on/off/autobalance 3 position switch. via serial/RX/M port on gyro
Channel 9 Right taileron Y`d to right (up/down)vt servo to gyro out 4
Channel 10 Right Elevator to gyro out 5
B/YCC Bind plug and power in from external BEC

ok, now I am confused or not understanding you correctly. We dont have any ailerons, only tailerons . If outputs 1 and 2 stabilize the tailerons and vt then why do I need outputs 4 and 5 .
