Have you ever held a 9XR PRO? It's night and day compared to the classic 9X

IMHO you could try to flash the ardupilot to a 2560 arduino/clone and get a MAVlink out of it..

I've been thinkin about the 9Xtreme, but as you said it's meant for er9x, which as opposed to openTX does not currently support MAVLink, which I'm rather fond of. I haven't heard of the ar9x before, looks promising. The idea is that I want voice telemetry, but don't really care for the taranis- I do...

Is there any (official/unofficial) way to get a spare 9XR-PRO board? Would it be at least to some extent physically and electrically compatible with the original 9X chassis, gimbals and LCD?

So the 9Xtreme is pretty much off the table I guess. Too bad, I love my 9X. What does the S.Port pin in the module bay do? Can it be reconfigured somehow? But most importantly, how do I get the Taranis to work with MAVLink? There's no EXT=MAVLINK option in the companion when I select X9D as my targe...

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply, but...
I'm definitely sticking with openTX for the MAVLink (plus I'm used to it), my point was whether I should keep my 9X and wait for the 9Xtreme board, or get a Taranis..

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble choosing between my trusty 9X (provided that smartieparts 9Xtreme is coming soon) and a non-plus Taranis that has been offered to me for a very good price. I use APM a lot and I like my stuff opensource (writing this from my Debian thinkpad with coreboot), thus I d...
