Turnigy/Frsky x14

I found easy to use but could do with a better manual or videos how to upgrade Ethos. Also I bought the IR4X Lite Multi Module to use with other receivers but can't install it into the X14.

Turnigy X14 (FrSky X14)

Mar 02, 2025

I absolutely loved the X7 series for it's power in all aspects of flying, from comp sailplanes to power to park flyers. It was cheap, lightweight and powerful. That said, the X14 was the next logical step and I was correct. I initially purchased this to backup my awesome X20 (best radio I've ever owned) to take advantage of the Twin protocol but I will now use it in tandem (punny!) with the X20 as it's sidekick. (My Horus took a backseat to the X7)
Cheap, lightweight and powerful as hell... (Ethos is great!) Good job HK for partnering with FrSky on this one.

A bargain, but expect future model updates?

Mar 01, 2025

I'm a FrSky fan, owning the X18, X18SE, and X18RS. I bought the X14 out of curiosity and to be able to discuss the radio with club members who might be hesitant to spend the money for an X18 or X20. Although I'm comfortable using Ethos, I also wanted to see how the included model files did switch assignments and voice call-outs.
The radio feels great in the hand, but one niggle is that the top left rear switch SE, that I would normally use for throttle cut, is spring loaded instead of the SF switch on the top rear right, which is a two-position switch. These two are reversed from my X18s and most other radios I've tried. However, I've read that the DLG pilots love this, and I can see this lightweight radio being ideal for this group. Reversing these switches with each other requires soldering.
My other niggle is that I've been waiting to hear back from HK support whether they plan to release updated or new model files as they are released -- assuming there will be model file updates. Not concerning, but I'm curious what support this radio will be receiving.
This radio is a great value and a screaming bargain on sale. Be advised, tho, that it does not include the battery or case, so look for the package deal that includes the battery and case for a few dollars more. Batteries that might show on the X14 product page are NOT the proper battery.
I knocked off one star for value because it's not wise to leave buyers in a lurch by not including the battery when it's also not clear what battery to get.

Loaded radio! The Twin protocol is solid, Ethos is amazingly intuitive and the color is great! The pre loaded models should be handy but, I wish HK had included the models loaded on an SD card... Absolutely enjoying this radio.
