Does the 20 denote twenty channels? I’m pretty sanguine about what people fly. Lots of good stuff to use. I hate the brand fanatics that disparage choices other than theirs. I was a big Airtronics user and it broke my heart when they faded away. All I have left is my vintage Airtronics next strap that I use all the time.
Hi, excellent upload. I also prefer soft springs and was wondering if you could share what type of FrSky spring were you using in your Futaba 16SZ? I recently purchased a Futaba 16IZ and the stock springs are too stiff for my taste. If I adjust the spring tension all the way loose, the stick centering feels very mushy and imprecise. Aloft-hobbies carry a lot of FrSky replacement springs but I'm not sure which one to get.
Hi Andrew, Looks like a nice radio. Beyond my currents means, but I do have a Taranis X9D that I installed the Hall gimbals. And as you say the spring tension is so nice. Looking forward to a flight video of that no-name plane. :-) You and the family stay safe.
I also use FRSKY, but have never used it on fuel planes. I typically use Spektrum on everything fuel for the ease of programming. I curious as to why Futaba will still be your go to transmitter?
You still liking the Frsky X20S? Do you trust it with your larger models? Looking to upgrade and really really like the looks of this one. Currently running spektrum and radiomaster. Thanks!
Hi, thanks a lot for your video. I am considering buying it: did you test the range in 2.4 GHz only (no 900 mhz) before telemetry is lost and before a signal alert? Any review of the new FrSky TD receivers, e.g for possible interference between frequencies? What is your overall confidence with this radio compared to Futaba in terms of reliability of RF link between Transmitter and receiver? Thanks a lot
@@n1114v Hi, I found a serious a problem with the Tandem receiver TD R10 (2.4 Ghz+900 Mhz): the servos start to jitter / chatter strongly when I install the receiver in the fuselage (analog servos, Hitech and Emax). The issue disappears when I turn off the telemetry or wrap the 900 Mhz antenna with aluminum foil, so the issue should be the 900 Mhz telemetry. Unfortunately it is not possible to turn it off separately from the 2.4 Ghz telemetry! Does anyone know if the normal 2.4Ghz receivers have the same jitter issue?
Sir what can you tell me about such a 3 in 1 transmitter? If the control range is more than 60 kilo meters, which supports Pixhawk, I can connect my smartphone to that transmitter and see all the data or camera live on my screen.😶
Hey man, nice video! I just received my X20S and was wondering if you have anymore info on the setup for the 900MHz redundant receiver? Can't find anything in the manuals or on the net about wiring hookups or menu setups. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanx.
I have been a FrSky + OpenTX user for over five years in small and large scale airplanes, but for the last 12 months I started encountering some mysterious issues that impacted my confidence somewhat. I've started flying turbines and because of my loss of confidence with FrSky I moved over to Jeti. So far, Jeti has been amazingly rock solid and none of the issues I experienced with FS have reoccurred. I am still using FrSky with my smaller and planes and will try to find out the root cause and solution to the issues that were occurring, but I'm obviously not keen on problem solving with large and expensive airplanes. I am planning to buy a Tandem in the near future, so your video provided great insight on their new-gen radio.
@@n1114v Gear looks different but the builder may have done that to get away from the dural gear aero issues. Thank you for your videos. They are awesome. I am still waiting for that Top Dawg video ;)
Thats what I was gonna suggest. Circus hobbies sold them eons ago. I have always wanted one, they resemble the cloud dancer 120 size. How well does it fly Andrew?
Hi Andrew, does the X20 come with that nice looking carry case? Nice looking Tx. Wonder how the gimbles compare to my DX9. I joined Battle Creek Balsa Bees. But I'm a little hesitant to fly out there with my larger has stuff by myself. Being retired I can fly anytime. Give me a shout, I'll join you out there.
@@n1114v I agree the field looks great and I'm sure it's plenty big enough for my 85" Slick. But call me sissy I don't like flying that one alone. The Balsa Bees field is just too remote for my comfort flying alone. Tomorrow I'll probably go up to Saranac. Most often there is someone around.
That's the Version 2 plane flown by EggHead JR Humperdink in the FogHorn Legghorn Episode "Things just don/t add up" (cant find the extended scene but here) ::ruclips.net/video/peFn1Lk8amg/видео.html::
That is like these people spend $1600 or even $700 on a fucking transmitter and put a $15 receiver in it and then lose their airplane because they don’t wanna spend $85 on a good receiver but they’ll tear up a $600 airplane makes no sense
What an excellent looking model, it looks right !!
Pop in the xjt module and BOOM, now you can use your old receivers 😊

I hope to get some video of it in the air!

Futaba is still a better system and better quality transmitter
Hi Andy will this work with any 900/915MHZ with a sbus out like the- FrSky R9 SX ACCESS OTA 6/16CH PWM/SBUS Long Range
You still liking the Frsky X20S? Do you trust it with your larger models? Looking to upgrade and really really like the looks of this one. Currently running spektrum and radiomaster. Thanks!
Futaba is still my primary system, but the X20 is a fantastic radio! I have only used it in large models.
Received Signal Strength Indication and I think that it also includes thermal and interference noise.

did you try the bluetooth telemetry yet? nothing to pair with from what Iv'e tried
Never tried! I'm way to old school.

5:50 RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator.
went with the 18s and love it.
I have an 18 as well

it's just sbus out to sbus in
did you try the bluetooth telemetry ?
@@embededfabrication4482 no not yet.
I figured out the redundancy and got a 900MHz back up going now
Hi Andy want your take on Frsky vs spektrum. I think Frsky is the same or like a Jeti transmitter.
Spektrum belongs in the trash can! Frsky is similar to jeti as far as being multi protocols. They utilize the protocols differently though
I agree on horizon hobby-spektrum junk

What problems you encounter with the Frsky?
What is range ?
Which one is best
Skyroid m12l vs frsky tandem x20 pro 😢😢😢😢
Range is out of sight! The X20 pro is the way to go
@@n1114v in km please!
Can we look live fpv camera in screen?
@@Thomas--Jaleby range all depends on witch reciever you choose. I've never done any FPV so I'm not sure
Didn't know Frsky for a long time! A good remote control. But I like Jeti more.
So when are we going to see that cool airplane flying?
It can be hard to find a cameraman
I have a ix20 Spektrum yes you're right my old receivers did not work with the new ix20 I sold all my old receivers move on with the new technology
Nice radio and nice plane. What is this plane model?
Super weekend special
maybe its a homebuilt with a combination of features from other models.
Looks like a Zlin
@@johncirri Modified Zlin or Dalotel - that’s what I thought too.
I think that is an IM Models Super Weekend Special .

One sold on Ebay in May for $1k

Is it Free Sky or Fr Sky? I have been saying F R Sky.
I think you meant ghz not mghz
Everyone says free sky! Its 2.4 ghz and 900 mghz

ヾ(--;)ぉぃぉぃ飛ばないのかよ😂
You talked about the wiring and how you had no idea to do it but got a friend to help,you and show the colour coded wires, so why not show that here
Wasn't interested in tearing the plane apart
Yeah they came along way then made a U-turn.
Huh!
That is like these people spend $1600 or even $700 on a fucking transmitter and put a $15 receiver in it and then lose their airplane because they don’t wanna spend $85 on a good receiver but they’ll tear up a $600 airplane makes no sense
Easy there killer......count to 10!
What did you test in this video?
