Well presented. Just ordered mine. Have been using the x20S for three seasons. And I can tell you I've never been happier. No issues at all. Like you. I've been in this hobby for forty five years and have seen quite allot of change in technology.
Great job Andy Headlines reads- Old Futaba Guy buys FrSky X20S! Love it! Totally programable. You want it, just program it in. It can even tell you when you get low on fuel but one thing no one talks about is that Bluetooth mode can send sounds right to your hearing aids. You may get there one of these days! See you on the flight line.
Great vid Andy.....100% accurate on all your info which is much appreciated.....I also appreciate how you kinda model within your means instead of being a free spending maniac, for example your comments on nothing wrong with DLE products....It all makes sense...keep up the good work man
Completely agree. I picked myself up an X20pro the other week and it’s a fantastic radio. As you say I think FrSky have nailed the market with this one. It’s premium enough for people who like to spend a lot but well priced enough for people to upgrade who want something more premium than they currently have. Happy New Year from 🇬🇧 Andy 👍🏻
Once again Andy, you are proving the reason why I like your videos and our hobby. The exchange of information is so valuable. We can decide for ourselves what works best for ourselves. “Show and Tell” can be so important at times. By the way, Spektrum for all.
Great review Andy ,don't forget the PRO version supports the TWIN protocol as well.
5 месяцев назад+1
Great video. The only thing I would point out is that the Pro has a different internal RF module than the other X20 radios. The Pro module will allow you to use the future Pro receivers when they are released.
Hi Andy, I'll keep the X20 Pro in mind when I finish the P-47. My latest transmitter is the FrSky Taranis X9, so I am due for a newer transmitter. You and the family have a Happy New Year.
Very nice. Been in the market for a better radio. I'm also a Futaba and airtronics guy. Had a stylus when they where new. Wish i still had it. On 2.4 I've been flying my 8ch tactic for several years with no problems. Still flying 72 with futaba. Gonna take my ultra sport out tomorrow with a Futaba 7cap. Happy new year Andy!
Good overview. The other significant difference with the X20 PRO and the rest of the line up is that [coming soon] the X20 PRO will support dual 2.4G RF + 900M. So there will be three RF paths linking the receiver. FrSky will be coming out with receivers that are "TD PRO" - ie. TWIN 2.4 and 900 bands together. Love my X20 PRO. I upgraded from X20S
@@r7_guy941 Hi. Sorry, I misinterpreted the TW Pro protocol. It is not 2 x 2.4 + 900 but is 2 x 2.4 + Access R9 mode. This is what is written on the FrSky product page: "The X20 PRO added the dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous activation of both TW and ACCESS R9 modes. In this configuration, TW receiver and ACCESS R9 receiver can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to achieve redundant backup. This RF signal connection method allows for the simultaneous use of three different RF links in RC applications. This further enhances the RF signal’s reliability, particularly in scenarios involving long-dis-tance RC operations." I used to own an X20S but now own a Pro. X20 is a perfectly good transmitter and handles the Tandem protocol.
Are you using batteries with TX30 connectors to power the TDR18? Or do you power using a standard connector through a channel port? Great video. Looking at the FRSKYsystem as a replacement for my Futaba.
Thanks for the video. I have a FrSky X18S, love it. I’m still learning much about the radio. I’m wondering if you have any insight or videos about setting up a throttle curve. I’d like to set one up on my 1/4 scale Piper Cub. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks for the very objective overview on the FrSky radios Andy👍…I had to go on with a new radio last month and was considering Jeti or Futaba (have a T16sz). As I fly Futaba since the 90s I’m OK with their Futaba-typical programming software 😏! Anyway, Jeti is floating on their success of the last two years and prices here in Europe are around 1.800 USD for the 16 channel, I bought a T16sz super potless and cannot complain! But I have to commit, I’m a Heli pilot and need Gyro implementation and telemetry as a standard! But nice info on FrSky 👍, Cheers from Munich, Sven🍺
Hi , i'm in same place like you....and don't allow me to go to frsky and leave futaba🤣🤣hard life.....jeti seems very good but so expensive... Si hard choice 😅😂
Great video. Frsky has awesome radios, with great reliability. But I Totally agree with you with the criticism on the shape of this X20 Pro radios. They need to make it longer like a traditional radio. I hope the X24 (whenever that come out) fulfills that requirement.
Hi Andy, side question. I was watching a video on the 1992 Madera RC Scale races. Just awesome those models and what took place. Do these types of racing events with big models still happen in the US or has it faded away?
I like it. Well, you sold me. I am looking around for another radio. Most of the guys that fly here in Australia swear by Jeti. I have owned and still fly with my DX18QQ for many years, and I haven't had a problem with it. Time to update I like the idea of having 2.4 and 900mh. Also, the heads-up display. 👍 $1,400 Australian
I received my X20 Pro a couple of weeks ago and really like it. I've had many FrSky transmitters (X9D, X9D+, QX7, X12S, X10S, X-Lite) and have never had a problem with any of them. When ETHOS rolled out I was not happy about their decision to abandon OpenTX and go the proprietary route. I even bought a Radiomaster TX16S and upgraded all of my radios to EdgeTX. The dual-band intrigued me though, but I wasn't yet ready to embrace ETHOS, but after having a discussion with FrSky Steve (Schlesinger) I decided on a X20 Pro. My only complaint is, the ETHOS Suite needs the model edit function like OpenTX/EdgeTX Compaanion. Other than that. I'm selling my other transmitters and will purchase another FrSky as a buddy-box and emergency backup.
Great overview. My biggest concern with this radio is the short sides and I am surprised no has mentioned this. I have the X7S and it has been a very good radio but when I get over vigorous with my so called 3D flying my hands fall off or down the short sides of the transmitter and I lose my thumb off the stick. I'm a mode 1 flyer. I love Frsky never had a signal loss and very good reliability, but this is preventing me from upgrading to this radio. I want to eventually fly a 100cc plane with Frsky but does anyone else have worries about this? Most other premium radios have longer sides (Hand grips)
The shap is different than most radios but your hand aren't going to fall off.....its not a bar of soap. My son and I both fly 3D and there is zero issue holding the radio
Hello, thanks for the video. I am in the market for a new Tx for my heli's and planes and was wondering , is it possible to upgrade the Rx from the Tx ? And how is the support from Frsky ?
@@r7_guy941 all updates are put on to the tx and updated over the air or by cable to the rx. There are some fantastic groups on Facebook where all questions can be answered about Frsky
You sold it well. Wish you had an affiliate link to throw a few bones your way on the sale. Imma sell my x18 and use my x20s as the backup/buddy box now. If they come out with one in the Tarannis X9D form I’ll probably get it. I love how that radio feels in my hands.
Just got my x20s been flying ur favorite brand spektrum for years lol that being said im really liking this frsky from a price point it has a quality feel compared to spektrum
Be interested to see some of the programming capabilities of that FRSky this spring. You'll have to show me at Cards. I been really happy with my Futaba 16iz. Its a heck of a transmiter for 650 with an 8 channel receiver. --Aaron
The programming is unlimited pretty much. There is a lot of videos on RUclips that show a lot of it. I'm the last person on earth to talk about programming, I use very little of it lol. The dual band is what I like! If Futaba released a dual band radio I'll be first in line !
After 15 year break of flying I got back into it. I had got the x20. Had it for 2 week trying setup my helicopter. I gave up sent it back to Amazon. Called futaba and ordered my 16IZ . And was flying in 2 hr . But I will say I like the style of the x20 .
I started the hobby with Futaba and had owned many of their radios with the highest of their line being the 9zap WC2, but years after it was the latest and greatest. When they went to the $3000 radios I decided it was time to move on and flew Mutiplex EVO which was great for programming but poor quality and then extinct. Bought a Taranis used for cheap and liked it but wouldn’t trust it with anything but foamies. Bought a Horus 10 which required a lot of time learning OpenTx and now just a year ago bought a Tandem 18. This is a great radio. I am confident with this TX and the Archer Rxs impressed with the telemetry and customization. I’m sure I will never use more than 30% of this radio’s capability being an old radio guy. Great video, I’m thinking about getting a 20x in the future, that pro is a bit too fancy for me. Have you done any flying with the Archer S pro series RXs with gyros built in?
I am the same way, I will never utilize a fraction of what any of the modern radios are capable of I have not had any experience with the stabilized receivers, I'm actually very against Gyros.......its a personal thing.
It looks great but it's just not enough money - That made me laugh. This was a great review; I'm going to forward it to a friend who's been thinking about moving on from Spektrum. Funny thing about transmitter feels. Remember the bulbous Airtronics transmitter, was it the Infinity? That was not a comfortable transmitter. I bought an Airtronics in '81 because the SR was way more comfortable to hold than the more popular Futaba Gold Box. The perception of weight and quality is so true, I myself noticed my new NX-10 was lighter than the DX8G2 it was destined to supplant. The big difference was the much lighter battery but...
This is the reason I switched to frsky from theirs begening . I was futaba, tried corona gone in to Hitec in the erly 2.4 GHz rules for me and never I had lose an aircraft because of it;;;;;;;plus a decent price
I have an X20S - I like the PRO but at twice what I paid for the X20S it is very difficult to justify. I prefer the squared-off bottom and the paddle switches but that really isn’t enough. I also prefer the side knobs to be pointing down - so much so I bought the optional knobs but haven’t fitted them - the reason is that you can’t use them with the grips fitted and I think the X20/S needs the side grips. I guess you could cut away part of the grip to accommodate the optional knobs but I wouldn’t like to do that.

What do you think about the handle on the X20 and X20 Pro? I’ve read they are a weak spot and break easily?
question i have is both external antennas appear to be 2.4 surly when using 868mhz this would be risking damage to the radio due to reflected power? Would the r9 standard antenna not be better?
More concearned on reflected power damaging radii due to incorrect tuned length when using the antenna supplied that i think is a 2.4 antenna and not 900/868
Did you watch the video? Frsky is similar to Jeti in many ways but still very different. A high end Jeti radio is close to 3K in price........how are they close?
Ds 12 starts at 650 us so cheaper and of course similar in price and all the way up to 3000 us. I think frsky was alot for the Money, hey probably the best! But they did a big jump now whit the pro model. With is a great radio. All i am saying is in that price range there are options.
Its the best radio that you van buy from frsky. The software is nice as well as the touch screen. The most expensive of a transmitter is indeed the switches and off course the gimbal. But the thing with the gimbals are that there only 2 brands that has smooth and round gimbals wih ball-bearing and with quality hall sensors. JETI and Powerbox and they have for safety double antennas 📡. Smoothness is everything on a transmitter the less tension from the springs and abrupt deadzone in the gimbals the better you have control about your rc aircraft. Your fingers are very sensitive so the smallest resistance can lead to loss of control. Not totally loss of control but you lose the smooth controled steering with squared gimbals. JETI has rounded gimbals and smooth and easy to stear. I will go for a JETI
@@cx9drvr Yes but pro has three rf systems, 2.4 twin setup, whish is the standard 2.4 fsk and 2.4 lora combined. Those RX will be called Twin rx. (so inside tx is very different)
I currently use (still) a Spektrum DX 18 but not averse to more modern technology. My big thing is that in all honesty, I can hardly ever see myself needing more than say 12 or at most 14 channels. Does FrSKY have an equivalent 14 channels to the X20PRO?
The X20 is the only transmitter they have made a pro version of. Don't take the name of a transmitter to seriously as far as channels. I only use at most 9 or 10 channels on any of my airplanes
