PIMPING MY TX BY TIM CALVERT

Upgrades to my Taranis (FrSky) QX7 TX, was £70 when I  bought it, plenty for less than £100 today. 16/32 channel, 4  X 3 pos  switches, 2 pots, 2 x 2 way switches, full voice, haptic (vibration)  warnings all completely programmable to your needs.  Built in FRSky  protocol, supplied with Open TX firmware.

Had this over a year now, some useful upgrades

Orange Soft Non slip silicon cover from Banggood about £11.00, protects the TX from those knocks in the field and keeps out the moisture from the damp grass.

Alloy TX Stand, keeps the TX upright £5.00 from Banggood

Silicon switch covers, colour code your switches. From Banggood

Alloy CNC sticks, replace the std plastic items. From Ebay

Hall effect gimbals. T9hobbysport U.K., around £36 the pair .

Multi protocol module, I have used the Irangex and Jumper 4 in 1 modules  without issue, around 50 different protocols supported, I use DSMS2,  DSMX, SPECTRUM Bind and fly , Corona DHSS V2,  all without problems.

Updated firmware from OpenTx to ErSky9x a forked version of OpenTx with full support for Multiprotocol.
