I'm trying to go from fly sky to X7 also. And I am completely overwhelmed. I wish they would quit using the word intuitive, this is like the last thing on the planet that is intuitive
If you are getting this transmitter and plan on running a different battery, when you have the case apart and are disabling the spring, push the AA battery tray out from the inside. Really easy. Keep up the good work FliteTest and TJ.
Guys thank you so much this is a brilliant Video! I ordered my Black Qx7 a month ago, simply waiting on its arrival, then i can get started. Upgraded from Spektrum Dx6 to this, for the telemetry and Frsky range.. Feel a little more confident now having to learn a new Radio. Great job, thx always :)
Just bought mine! Have to say that build quality is not better than my Devo 7 for Walkera F210, but the features on the Taranis are awsome! Thank you for accessible knowledge.All the best
This is a great tutorial. I'm new to the hobby and I'm trying to piece together everything I want. I wasn't sure if I wanted the RTF kits but one of the quads I was looking at didn't come with a favorable controller and receiver I wanted. Its probably okay just to get started, but I was looking for a bit more but having trouble understanding what I needed to add onto a ARF model. Eventually I want to build my own but to get started, I wanted to get familiar with one and move along as I go. The most trouble I had was understanding setting this all up but this greatly helps.
A good tip for managing screws is to have a bit of foam nearby that you can wedge them into after they've been unscrewed. That way they're less likely to grow legs and jump off your workbench. Line them up in the order you took them out, and then when it comes time to reassemble, work backwards through the line.
I don't think you guys mentioned openTx companion. Still learning more about my taranis but I discovered that program the other day and you can plug in your TX into a computer and make models or change settings a bit faster. You can also save models and settings or restore models and to the TX. Very very useful!
Stephen hathaway OK thanks. I usually just check the channels before flying and move them about to the correct locations. I think the multi protocol module that I got on banggood uses that channel order or something so most models are OK? I can't remember because most of my models need a bit of adjustments and reversing before I can fly. It's quick and easy when you get the hang of it and you never need to do it again. This is the module: www.banggood.com/2_4G-CC2500-A7105-Flysky-Frsky-Devo-DSM2-Multiprotocol-TX-Module-With-Antenna-p-1048377.html?p=AX272015214820130323
CDC444RC maybe I'm just a bit slow but I've just not 'bonded' with the taranis... I find it a real chore using its haphazard menu system, the spektrum was a piece of piss to work out
Stephen hathaway It definitely is very different. I guess for me I feel like Spektrum is saying "for $50 we will give you another switch" Meanwhile, Frsky is packing in all the features into a very well designed radio for an amazing price. That being said, I have never used a high end Spektrum but for the lower price range they are very limited in features compared to the taranis. I started on a dx6i and I do not think I would have been able to deal with a taranis as my first radio because it would have been very difficult to understand if you are a Noob with rc. After learning rc with my dx6i the taranis is an amazing 2nd radio and I don't feel restricted anymore as I did with my dx6i. I think the old taranis had a few issues with small design flaws and the menu would be a pain with push button navigation. The new taranis takes some time to figure out but once you spend the time to learn and setup your models it is very very nice. It is also sold at a very reasonable price. I guess some of the higher up Spektrum radios could have similar features and have a better user interface but the taranis is more focused on allowing the user to do anything with the radio and it is more diy. It would be pretty hard to pack all that into something really easy to use. I guess it's similar to the Apple vs Android argument. Although maybe I should not bring that up :)
Many places I have read say you should do dual rates and expo on the Inputs page, not Mixes. For a simple plane like this, it does not matter but for complex planes, having the dual rates and expo on the inputs make it available to all mixes using the input instead of copying for each mix. Also, always leave your last item on dual rates and expo with no switch so it will default to it if none of the above are active. With the way you set it up, if SA is in the middle position, you have no control (the input will be center no matter what you do with the sticks). Better to have a default so you cannot accidentally get into the dangerous position of no control.
This is a big thing i noticed, id have left the default alone, created a new line and put medium and low rate on the middle and low position of the switch, that means if your switch fails or you select the wrong mode, you still have control. OpenTx is so powerful and I still have an original 9x transmitter!!! Most people would never need to grow beyond this, short of frsky receiver support, which can be solved with an add on module. Flite Test definately need to revisit this subject and show the power and the pitfalls of this software!
A tip for new buyers. Set up your models with the Futaba channel allocation order of AETR rather than the JR/Spectrum TAER because the new stabilised receivers S6R and S8R use the Futaba standard
BTW, 12:20 when taking that battery tray out, you can do that when fixing the sticks it will push out easier then grabbing with tweezers. Take the back off, unplug it and push it out. Easy Peasy!!
I find it interesting that the sticker with the FCC id is on the top. I always figured that they put it on the cover of 9XD plus so that if you took it off to use a module, you'd nullify the FCC certification from using a different antenna.
Global variables are located under the flight modes. For example, look under FM0 on the flight modes screen to assign global variables (which can apply to all flight modes).
Here's what I'm looking forward to - sitting in my livingroom with my HD 3D VR Goggles on enjoying a 360 Degree view of Josh Bixler flying his PPG. And the way things are developing, it won't be long...
try the openTX companion, it has the built in wizard which will set up a model much faster than using the TX controls.. then add your new models to your list
Hi. It looks like coming in May (give or take a month) there will be 4 more color options for this radio...blue, green, orange, and purple. Will Flite Test be stocking those colors once available? Love your videos, as its some of the best content available. Best. Steve
I love my original Taranis. It doesn't have haptic but I don't think I'd use that anyway, and I do most of my setup through the computer, so menu wheel isn't a big deal either.
Its been about three or so years on mine with the hall effect gimbals and they are going south Time for a new transmitter ,, Sad I did the crossfire mod too so I wont be getting another one of these and doing that mod again for sure
Just purchased this from the Flite Test store in piano black! Can't wait to start flying in a simulator! I've been obsessed with freestyle fpv. What is a good simulator for learning to freestyle with a quad?
I have this transmitter and I like it very much. I've managed to set up two planes, one of those with triple rates and expo. I desperately need for someone to show me how to set up flaperons right on the radio, NOT using open TX. I have tried to follow the videos (by others) that show how to do this and other things using Open TX and I simply cannot follow what they are doing. To top that, when I run Open TX on my computer with the Taranis plugged in, it does not look like the examples in the video. Can't someone just show me how to do this on the radio? You guys are great! My FT Simple Scout just arrived and I can't wait to get started on it.
I use it with a lipo battery which is somewhat of a pain in terms of keeping the voltage around 7.6v to 7.8v to keep the battery within a safe range for storage. I can't justify buying all those AAs.
I'm looking into buying this and some cheaper Eachine goggles (I'm poor and have a baby on the way 🤗) but I'm also looking to get a tiny whoop for around the house practice! Whcih tiny whoop can I buy for this controller? Total noob here 🙋🏻♂️
so did this kinda replace the X9D? I ask because this one is cheaper and i wanted all the cool features of the X9D with voice packs, vibration, and opentx but didnt want throw $200 at another radio. I still have a Turnigy 9X that I have yet to mod with opentx but this new Q X7 looks tempting.
loving your content i only have a mavic and toy drones really considering getting into FPV here is the uk, only held down by price! would love to start and do a youtube series Nothing to Something
I use the taranis x9d plus for my helicopters and i love it. especially the telemetry. but i think I'm passing this one. it looks cool but compared to the x9d plus it looks cheaper (I know it is half the price) but a good way to get a beginner tx that will last you ages.
Have any idea why receiver will not turn on ? Green light shows up when holding down but will not turn on. Have had this for a year with NO issues. Have you experienced any issues with your receiver ?
I am waiting for mine to arrive, and when I read "7 channel" on gearbest I got a little worried, since I want to fly it in D16. I already thought: Does this mean I already need to upgrade it in some kind??? But now (after watching your great video) I suppose that they just wrote that because the preset model 1 is set up with only 7 channels. So I calmed down and now I'm really looking forward for it to arrive :-)
Esta excelente este video , no lo habia visto creo que me va a servir , pero si pudieran hacer un video para mi seria genial , tengo un helicoptero KDS 450 electrico y lo unico que voy a ocupar es su electronica con los tres servos del rotor principal y el motor , no voy a usar servo de cola ni giroscopo , si necesito el modo helicoptero por las mezclas , gracias.
Hi Josh.... I ordered for a Taranis QX7 and the description says ....Compatibility: FrSky X series / D series / V8 - II series receivers ( plus other receivers if an external module is used ) .....Now I would like to use a L9R Receiver for my FPV flying... My question is if the L Series receiver compatible with QX7 with no modifications?
What about the use of OpenTX Companion so that all initial programming can done from the comfort of your computer? I use Companion with my 9XR and love it!
Hi i love all your videos but this is my first time to ask a question. What is the use of the rate in your profiles or is the effect to the plane or quad .. newbie ro rc world thanks and more power
Couple questions: Does it have all adjustments such as expo, endpoint, mixing, dual rate etc? My hand position is with index finger around back so for thumb comfort I like the thinnest sided box so can the rubber pads be removed or somehow taken off? Finally is there a way to get the left throttle stick to ratchet with a notched spring or is there one that will fit so it will click? I like that to keep from moving throttle while using rudder. Thanks for any help.
As you say, the programming of this radio does become more and more intuitive, but I am totally stuck on something. How in the name of Hoot Gibson do you set up flaperons? I have managed to put my ailerons on separate channels, but that's as far as I have been able to go. I have spent literally hours working on this and have gotten nowhere. pleas help! THANKS.
Great info video. I have to ask, for mowvember would you guys be up for doing the infinite mustache? The one that goes from the top lip to the jaw line over the ear and follows the hair line round the back of your head over the other ear and round the jaw to meet the start. It's in the name of prostate cancer, I'm sure you guys would raise a butt load of money, and would look quite fetching with a bowler hat. Like if you dare them to.
Hi, I'm a beginner. I wanted to know why it has not a receiver. And what it does with it. It is mandatory to add it? And if yes which one to choose? The Taranis Plus come already with the"receiver" installed? What is needed to use it with a simulator? What other frsky txs there are that you like other than this and the Taranis Plus? If I want to fly a model that has frsky, other than fix the gears, for mode 2, what other is needed to do/buy to use it, and even for using it with a simulator?Thanx guys!Bye
FrSky doesn't add a receiver because it offers a wide range of them for different applications. You have to buy it seperatly for a few bucks. To fly on a simulator you just need a miniUSB-USB cable. You hook it up to your pc and it's treated like a normal joystuck.
Depends on what you want to fly with IRL. For quads I only used freerider and it's not that good. For fixed wings you can try rc desk pilot - free - or clearview - about 20 bucks for a full version. If you are into gliders, go with picasim. You can also buy older versions of realflight, but they use their own controllers and setting a taranis to run wuth them is a pain in the ass.
Hey I'm trying to figure this info out too, I've looked around and in a hurry Amazon sells "FrSky 2000mAh 7.2V NiMH AA Battery Pack for Taranis Q X7 Transmitter" but it doesn't come with a charger, so you'd have to have a balance charger, I think.
Hi! I wonder which spektrum device i can use with my Taranis qX7 to get 32 channels. Can I use thes as normal channels or only for flying? I thought use my Taranis for contolling trucks a nd wheelloaders.And finally I know I should be able to get 16 channels by combining to 8 channels recievers, but how?? Thanks for any reply!!! Regadrs Johnny.
Just opened up the Taranis X7 with the left stick throttle spring deactivated... you guys probably have an extra white battery cover sitting around the shop, because mine didn’t make it back into the box 😂😂😂
Update: less than ten hours, and I’ve got a response, tracking number, and a part on the way. That’s probably the best customer service response I’ve ever seen 👍
I set up and bound my Tiny 7x quad and my QX7 with this video but it still won’t fly. Why won’t it fly?! I even set up the arm switch in the QX7 menus but it won’t do anything! Please help!! I’ve been trying it for 2 days. Do you HAVE to use betaflight before you can fly the Tiny drones?
Does anyone know where I can get the 6 slot AA battery tray for the qx7? Mine didn't come with one. If anyone knows where I could find one to buy or if anyone has one and doesn't use it I would be happy to buy from you. Thanks.
this is a great video however could you do one with the camera zoomed closer to the screen and slow down the commentary, it was going so fast i couldn't keep up so i was trying to back up the video then i would either go to far or not far enough and was frustrating. one person, talking slowly and deliberately in a clear concise voice would be perfect and you'll have my business for life because i feel much more comfortable dealing with a person than a web page. thanks so much.
i went to your website and there is no white option even tho there are white photos. is it going to stay like that or is it going to be out in white soon?
Calibration is a little easier if you do it before you remove the spring tension from the throttle. Then you don't have to guess at the center point.
Thank goodness I found this vid. I'm finally moving from flysky to frsky and ordered a qx7 yesterday. Thanks Flite test team!!!
I'm trying to go from fly sky to X7 also. And I am completely overwhelmed. I wish they would quit using the word intuitive, this is like the last thing on the planet that is intuitive
omg you guys are amazing. the cost of radio was a hurdle but the price point has taken that away. thank you so much.
If you are getting this transmitter and plan on running a different battery, when you have the case apart and are disabling the spring, push the AA battery tray out from the inside. Really easy. Keep up the good work FliteTest and TJ.
Two things you missed guys, if you turn the top spring screw in cc it helps and push the battery tray out from the inside... it's a lot easier.
You guys pushed me over the edge to buy one of these things, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the excellent review.
Guys thank you so much this is a brilliant Video! I ordered my Black Qx7 a month ago, simply waiting on its arrival, then i can get started. Upgraded from Spektrum Dx6 to this, for the telemetry and Frsky range.. Feel a little more confident now having to learn a new Radio. Great job, thx always :)

It's amazing the functionality this thing has for the price. I'd be buying one if I didn't already have the 9 plus.

Line them up in the order you took them out, and then when it comes time to reassemble, work backwards through the line.
I am new to the hobby and I am useless with computers but even I can use this radio, I use it with the 4 in 1 multi module and I love it.
yes indeed - that multi mode protocol enhancement is the second reason to buy a QX7 - the first is the stupid low price tag. :)
Would love to se a review on modules for the qx7 for the different manufacturer's. Thanks
Such perfect timing for me. You guys really make my day.
Thanks for the review! I am in the market for a xmttr and I was trying to decide which model to get... You SOLD me! Love your channel...!
I don't think you guys mentioned openTx companion. Still learning more about my taranis but I discovered that program the other day and you can plug in your TX into a computer and make models or change settings a bit faster.
You can also save models and settings or restore models and to the TX.
Very very useful!
That's pretty cool to know. Thanks for mentioning that!
CDC444RC but be very very careful to be aware of the changes it makes like changing the channel sequence from the Tx default Ele/Ail/Rr/Th to TAER!
Stephen hathaway OK thanks. I usually just check the channels before flying and move them about to the correct locations.
I think the multi protocol module that I got on banggood uses that channel order or something so most models are OK?
I can't remember because most of my models need a bit of adjustments and reversing before I can fly. It's quick and easy when you get the hang of it and you never need to do it again.

Although maybe I should not bring that up :)
Excellent video! I just bought the Q X7 and will help me tremendously! Thank you for this.

Thanks for posting this!!!! I wad just looking up this on RUclips!!!!
GREAT CHANNEL
👍😀👍
A tip for new buyers. Set up your models with the Futaba channel allocation order of AETR rather than the JR/Spectrum TAER because the new stabilised receivers S6R and S8R use the Futaba standard
BTW, 12:20 when taking that battery tray out, you can do that when fixing the sticks it will push out easier then grabbing with tweezers. Take the back off, unplug it and push it out. Easy Peasy!!
love mine and came with receiver, I like the AA pack because I have a portable solar recharger. and already have a bunch of rechargeable batteries.
Seems like a very good radio for the money! Love the good vids, Thanks for the content!!
I’d love to see a video on the new versions of this controller.
Thanks! I'm gonna buy my first 2.4 radio TX!
I find it interesting that the sticker with the FCC id is on the top. I always figured that they put it on the cover of 9XD plus so that if you took it off to use a module, you'd nullify the FCC certification from using a different antenna.
Excellent job TJ.Thanks.
Global variables are located under the flight modes. For example, look under FM0 on the flight modes screen to assign global variables (which can apply to all flight modes).
0:42 "probably definitely" 😁
Here's what I'm looking forward to - sitting in my livingroom with my HD 3D VR Goggles on enjoying a 360 Degree view of Josh Bixler flying his PPG. And the way things are developing, it won't be long...
I am salivating, this thing is super easy to program...
Can you do another, video explaining what the buttons do?
try the openTX companion, it has the built in wizard which will set up a model much faster than using the TX controls.. then add your new models to your list
New to the hobby. Just stumbled upon your video. Awesome job. New subscriber!
you can get a 90° right angle USB cable. I don't like they put it there either. But the angled USB is a good solution.
please make vedio on eachine e55 mini......please
Hi. It looks like coming in May (give or take a month) there will be 4 more color options for this radio...blue, green, orange, and purple. Will Flite Test be stocking those colors once available? Love your videos, as its some of the best content available. Best. Steve

thanks for the brilliant review
I have a flysky 6 channel transmitter an receiver its pretty good I like to see you do a video on flysky lot easer to set up !!
Thanks for this review. I decided to go for it. Cheers!
You say this is a good first radio. Out of curiosity, what would be an upgrade from this?
Its been about three or so years on mine with the hall effect gimbals and they are going south Time for a new transmitter ,, Sad I did the crossfire mod too so I wont be getting another one of these and doing that mod again for sure
Thx guys this is so helpful 😊
I love my X7! Mine came with a receiver.
Just purchased this from the Flite Test store in piano black! Can't wait to start flying in a simulator! I've been obsessed with freestyle fpv.
What is a good simulator for learning to freestyle with a quad?
s6xafterse7en I really like Liftoff, but there are some other free alternatives like Hot props and the DRL one.
Cool review! I'm loving mine!
I have this transmitter and I like it very much. I've managed to set up two planes, one of those with triple rates and expo. I desperately need for someone to show me how to set up flaperons right on the radio, NOT using open TX.

Can't someone just show me how to do this on the radio?
You guys are great! My FT Simple Scout just arrived and I can't wait to get started on it.
I bought the spartan and the qx7 from yall and the setup video is for the old Taranis not the q7x. You should update it
Omg just ordered one 😱 have to explain to the wife now
"I accidentally clicked the buy button" :P
I started the hobby because of flight test
I use it with a lipo battery which is somewhat of a pain in terms of keeping the voltage around 7.6v to 7.8v to keep the battery within a safe range for storage. I can't justify buying all those AAs.
i just bought one because its intuitive!!...
Yes! Thank you, I was waiting for a review
Dont forget about the mod fot the extended range set up. I.e. crossfire. That was something. I wish i knew about before i got my qx7
Moved over from spectrum dx6 to the taranis x9 plus and I hate the menu system. This certainly seems more intuitive
9 times out of 10 you can replace TJ's "intuitive" with "granular" and it makes more sense ;-)
I'm looking into buying this and some cheaper Eachine goggles (I'm poor and have a baby on the way 🤗) but I'm also looking to get a tiny whoop for around the house practice! Whcih tiny whoop can I buy for this controller? Total noob here 🙋🏻♂️
so did this kinda replace the X9D? I ask because this one is cheaper and i wanted all the cool features of the X9D with voice packs, vibration, and opentx but didnt want throw $200 at another radio. I still have a Turnigy 9X that I have yet to mod with opentx but this new Q X7 looks tempting.
Everyone seems to like this one a lot
loving your content i only have a mavic and toy drones really considering getting into FPV here is the uk, only held down by price! would love to start and do a youtube series Nothing to Something
Just in time! Mine comes this week!
thanks guys. finaly got rid of that rigit controller +like
I use the taranis x9d plus for my helicopters and i love it. especially the telemetry. but i think I'm passing this one. it looks cool but compared to the x9d plus it looks cheaper (I know it is half the price) but a good way to get a beginner tx that will last you ages.
Thanks tj, I did not have to redo my sticks
Have any idea why receiver will not turn on ? Green light shows up when holding down but will not turn on. Have had this for a year with NO issues.
Have you experienced any issues with your receiver ?
How about an update on the Taranis Q X7S?
Sorry for asking this question. Would you choose Taranis Q X7 or Devo 10? Which one is better?
Great review and very informative. Do you ship to the UK?
I am waiting for mine to arrive, and when I read "7 channel" on gearbest I got a little worried, since I want to fly it in D16. I already thought: Does this mean I already need to upgrade it in some kind??? But now (after watching your great video) I suppose that they just wrote that because the preset model 1 is set up with only 7 channels. So I calmed down and now I'm really looking forward for it to arrive :-)
awe man, I had no idea this transmitter was out there, can I return my Flysky i6x and get this?
Does it even work with the Emax Tinyhawk freestyle?
it does
Esta excelente este video , no lo habia visto creo que me va a servir , pero si pudieran hacer un video para mi seria genial , tengo un helicoptero KDS 450 electrico y lo unico que voy a ocupar es su electronica con los tres servos del rotor principal y el motor , no voy a usar servo de cola ni giroscopo , si necesito el modo helicoptero por las mezclas , gracias.
yey one of the first
great vid keep it up guys
Hi Josh.... I ordered for a Taranis QX7 and the description says ....Compatibility: FrSky X series / D series / V8 - II series receivers ( plus other receivers if an external module is used ) .....Now I would like to use a L9R Receiver for my FPV flying... My question is if the L Series receiver compatible with QX7 with no modifications?
Mine does
What about the use of OpenTX Companion so that all initial programming can done from the comfort of your computer? I use Companion with my 9XR and love it!
Hi i love all your videos but this is my first time to ask a question. What is the use of the rate in your profiles or is the effect to the plane or quad .. newbie ro rc world thanks and more power
What is that screwdriver you're using to remove the back? It looks great! (Around min 9:15)
Couple questions: Does it have all adjustments such as expo, endpoint, mixing, dual rate etc? My hand position is with index finger around back so for thumb comfort I like the thinnest sided box so can the rubber pads be removed or somehow taken off? Finally is there a way to get the left throttle stick to ratchet with a notched spring or is there one that will fit so it will click? I like that to keep from moving throttle while using rudder. Thanks for any help.
When do you expect to have the black ones in stock?
I got this and it doesn't have a battery port. All the back compartments are completely empty. Are these bought separately? Or have I been ripped off.
FYI, the battery tray comes out much easier with the back of the radio off.
As you say, the programming of this radio does become more and more intuitive, but I am totally stuck on something. How in the name of Hoot Gibson do you set up flaperons? I have managed to put my ailerons on separate channels, but that's as far as I have been able to go. I have spent literally hours working on this and have gotten nowhere. pleas help! THANKS.
Can I fly my Bugs 6 with it? and when I buy a Hawk 5 ? I'm a beginner.... I have no clue about these things yet hahaha
Great info video. I have to ask, for mowvember would you guys be up for doing the infinite mustache? The one that goes from the top lip to the jaw line over the ear and follows the hair line round the back of your head over the other ear and round the jaw to meet the start. It's in the name of prostate cancer, I'm sure you guys would raise a butt load of money, and would look quite fetching with a bowler hat. Like if you dare them to.
I have a nitro engine setup in my airplane. Does the QX7 have a throttle cut feature past idle to shut the carburetor?
Hi, I'm a beginner. I wanted to know why it has not a receiver. And what it does with it. It is mandatory to add it? And if yes which one to choose? The Taranis Plus come already with the"receiver" installed? What is needed to use it with a simulator? What other frsky txs there are that you like other than this and the Taranis Plus? If I want to fly a model that has frsky, other than fix the gears, for mode 2, what other is needed to do/buy to use it, and even for using it with a simulator?Thanx guys!Bye
15:47, now I get it the receiver is for the airplane, right?
FrSky doesn't add a receiver because it offers a wide range of them for different applications. You have to buy it seperatly for a few bucks.
To fly on a simulator you just need a miniUSB-USB cable. You hook it up to your pc and it's treated like a normal joystuck.
Pijawek Gratefull of your replay. Do you know a nice simulator that runs on windows xp?
Depends on what you want to fly with IRL. For quads I only used freerider and it's not that good. For fixed wings you can try rc desk pilot - free - or clearview - about 20 bucks for a full version. If you are into gliders, go with picasim.
You can also buy older versions of realflight, but they use their own controllers and setting a taranis to run wuth them is a pain in the ass.
Taranis x9d, or qx7? today i see best pricr qx7 goo.gl/FG5nk7
Mine came with the springs already done but it doesn’t have the AA battery tray, where can I buy one
Hey I'm trying to figure this info out too, I've looked around and in a hurry Amazon sells "FrSky 2000mAh 7.2V NiMH AA Battery Pack for Taranis Q X7 Transmitter" but it doesn't come with a charger, so you'd have to have a balance charger, I think.
Hello flite test, I was planning to buy some products. Do you ship to India?
Holy crap TJ ur amazing
Wow thanks so much :) So are you!

At 4:52, on the right side, what is that 3.5mm audio connector-like looking thing?
its used for an older method of connecting transmitters to simulators.
Hi!
I wonder which spektrum device i can use with my Taranis qX7 to get 32 channels. Can I use thes as normal channels or only for flying? I thought use my Taranis for contolling trucks a nd wheelloaders.And finally I know I should be able to get 16 channels by combining to 8 channels recievers, but how??
Thanks for any reply!!!
Regadrs Johnny.
Just opened up the Taranis X7 with the left stick throttle spring deactivated... you guys probably have an extra white battery cover sitting around the shop, because mine didn’t make it back into the box 😂😂😂
Update: less than ten hours, and I’ve got a response, tracking number, and a part on the way. That’s probably the best customer service response I’ve ever seen 👍
you setting the radio on its gimbals hurts my soul
Yea, TJ needs a donut pillow !
Give me a turnigy 9x with an EZ UHF system any day! Way less down time programming way more time flying! 👍
And way less functionality :P
IRFZ44 I'm not flying scale 747 400s just 8 channel planes! 👍
I set up and bound my Tiny 7x quad and my QX7 with this video but it still won’t fly.
Why won’t it fly?! I even set up the arm switch in the QX7 menus but it won’t do anything! Please help!! I’ve been trying it for 2 days.
Do you HAVE to use betaflight before you can fly the Tiny drones?
This caught me as well. As the other commenter said, setup an arm switch (usually ch5). If you have beta flight you can set it up in modes.
Does anyone know where I can get the 6 slot AA battery tray for the qx7? Mine didn't come with one.
If anyone knows where I could find one to buy or if anyone has one and doesn't use it I would be happy to buy from you.
Thanks.
this is a great video however could you do one with the camera zoomed closer to the screen and slow down the commentary, it was going so fast i couldn't keep up so i was trying to back up the video then i would either go to far or not far enough and was frustrating. one person, talking slowly and deliberately in a clear concise voice would be perfect and you'll have my business for life because i feel much more comfortable dealing with a person than a web page.
thanks so much.
also when i clicked the link it says page does not exist
i went to your website and there is no white option even tho there are white photos. is it going to stay like that or is it going to be out in white soon?
