Re: Taranis Drive not Available on Windows 10?

STM bootloader is NOT used when the radio is on. That was one of the symptoms I experienced with the slow SD card, it would automagicly shut off the radio when plugged into a USB port which then loads the STM Bootloader driver in Windows 10 (because the radio is now off). And as I pointed out befor...

Re: Taranis Drive not Available on Windows 10?

Check the Class of your SD card (usually a tiny 'C' with a number in it, or if it's a tiny 'U' with a number in it then it's a UHS card which is a Class 10 or above). If there is no Class or UHS # on the card then it's a Class 2 card, the slowest. The SD card that came with the original Taranis was ...

FrSky 6 Position Mode/Flap Switch

Re: Haters gonna Hate FRSKY Vs the DX9i

Futaba is popular out at our field mainly due to 2 things: Spectrum owners tend to have more crashes (less so with more recent Spectrum equipment) and the Futaba wireless training system.

Re: Taranis, Anylink and FlySky RF modules

It will be "mostly" OK, but you still need to review everything. For example the switches on the radio are completely different, so anything that uses switches will be wrong. I use the switches mostly for dual rates and throttle kill, so that should be easy to reconcile. I assume I would ...

What we actually need is a way to tell if the right model is selected with frsky telemetering, which could also show if the right tx model was selected if the module used telemetering in the first place.
