New transmitter time - FRSky X20S

 

What a lovely unit!  Much lighter and more comfortable in the hands than the X12S, and with an all-new OS called EthOS, FRSky have gotten everything right with this I feel.

I flew a couple of smaller models with it at the weekend's PSSA meet, and everything worked as expected.  I think I'll be programming some of the larger fleet into this one shortly, as the new Tandem receiver line and the more recent ACCESS receivers are very capable and make the most out of the radio's capabilities.

Only thing missing at the moment that I really want is a a tray adaptor, so I can secure it to my harness.  I find the stability the harness provides a game changer, especially for a solo slope pilot when launching.

Horus has landed.

My Horus has at last arrived.  I love it!  FrOS seems very capable, and they have a Github area where you can ask for additions or modifications to the software if required, which I've never seen another manufacturer do.  Loads of options for flight modes, and it'll even run an 8 servo wing with ease.  It even has a rotary position switch, which will suit the big quadcopter's changing flight modes.

An amazing amount of telemetry screens which is great for my big scalies, including vario, GPS, airpseed, voltage from up to 14 sources, temperatures, speeds, RPM etc etc.  Should be a bonus for when I get the Pik20 sorted for GPS triangle racing, and also super for the ASK18 when she goes up behind a tug again.

Time for some more programming!
