Good Radio. Possibly my last

This is an excellent radio.
My first use of the radio was the maiden of a very hot plane I had just built, which had substantial trim issues. Before I knew it the plane was WAAAAAYYY out there, but I had solid control, even at the limits of my sight. I attribute this to the excellent combination of the 9XD Plus and the X8R receiver, both of which seem excellent.
The OpenTX operating system, while requiring a bit of research to set up correctly is extremely versatile and, after a bit of learning, makes a great deal of sense. This leads me to my only negative remarks: Lack of documentation.
The documentation accompanying the Tx-Rx combination was little more than binding instructions for the receiver. To learn about the features of the Tx, it was necessary to do a bunch of checking, on the internet, before I could do much with it. OpenTx Univerity and quite a few videos on you tube provided most of the information, and there is a facebook page dedicated to the FrSky transmitters that is great for getting answers for specific issues.

Great

This is my first radio, it is very nice with tons of features and very good reviews. I haven't been able to test it out yet but I have spent a lot of time working through all of the settings and features. It is upgradable to the latest OpenTX 2.2.1 and customisable with appearance and sound although the upgrading process can be a bit confusing to follow correctly. It can also be used as a joystick for simulator flying. This package doesn't come with a power supply for charging but any 12v charger should work with the correct connection.

Excellent radio with one minor caveat.

This beats all the other radio's in terms of features and price! Why buy a Spektrum radio when you can get all the same features and more for a fraction of the cost. The best part is you can throw an orange module in this thing to make it fully compatible with Spektrum DSM receivers.
This radio has a lot to offer in terms of features and customization. The build quality is also really good and the control stick movements are nice and smooth.
I mainly purchased this because of the telemetry options - I wanted to be able to monitor battery voltage and signal strength of my model. Before purchasing this transmitter I crashed 2 models, one because the battery died and the plane nosedived in the ground, and another because it flew out of range and lost control - hopefully this transmitter will prevent these from occurring again.
Con:
WARNING! Do NOT update firmware!
Updating the firmware was a mistake, now the sound doesn't work and all the model icons are gone! Every time I turn it on now I get an SD card warning. The new firmware is broken and has crippled this radio. I tried downgrading, but that did not work, I got an EEPROM error and all the settings reset to defaults and I lost everything. There is a saying - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. This radio was excellent before I updated the firmware. Why OpenTX would release a new firmware like this is beyond me. It is supposed to be an upgrade not a downgrade. BUT - this is not Taranis's fault but OpenTX's.
Overall this is an excellent radio if you can get past the issues and complications with the software and firmware.

Great radio

I received the Taranis in a cardboard box, foam lined in pristine condition with a X8R telemetry receiver. It took me a little time to get to grips with the programming, but once you get into it this radio is amazing. For the price you can’t go past this one. All the switches and knobs feel very solid. I was a little concerned the sticks would be to easily moved as the springs are not as strong as the springs in the JR radios I had previously, but I must say I think it’s easier to fly smoothly with this radio than my previous ones. The telemetry data is great and I couldn’t be happier with this unit.
Especially when you look at the cost of receivers and sensors, fantastic value for money.
Not to mention the amount of information on line about the use and setup of this radio, the sky is the limit.

Fantastic radio!

I initially bought a 9XR Pro but the quality just wasn't there so I'm returning that and I bought the Taranis instead - best decision I made. The quality and feel of the gimbals are worlds apart and the pure number of switches, pots and levers makes this a perfect companion for anyone. Can't recommend this radio more highly.
