On my bench today… I managed to get round to doing the mods on my Taranis X9D+ - Hall effect gimbals, left the throttle stick unsprung to centre. - Large speaker, with enclosure, better sound. - Shielding added to ribbon cables, reduces audio interference. ![Speaker parts](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/9/e950e90c35db6287151dcead6cbe62d27490e7df.jpeg) ![Speaker fitted](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/d/fd6a5da9ad52fd46c462b16fa087540dedb4f227.jpeg) ![Shielded cables](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/7/e/7e71d37178d1e90a920ff0702cbd3505d6bcbd89.jpeg) ![Finished](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/f/eff26b5a34dc3a6c79ffa01b128cae0a82304441.jpeg) …got to do something when the winds high LOL Cheers Steve 🙂 ---

On my bench… Well my lads rugby match is cancelled, so after being told no by experts on facebook, I decided to try to convert my whoop to crossfire. I had to solder directly to the processor, but now I have crossfire with smartaudio through my tx. And probably 1 min flight time now! 😆 ![q1](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/1/61244bc64beeb63cbbe8fb934fc5db74a173faf5.jpeg) ![q2](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/c/3c2505f9e0e9a4fe3b8d2f42a571c819ecc0a8eb.jpeg) ![q3](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/2/8204df8bd4b95f9c49853390036c7d7121e9427e.jpeg) ---

Great work James loved it !. GADC should really have a “1st Live Streamer” badge for you. Not easy to do what you did, trying to work and talk about what it is you are doing. ---

After checking my joints today I had managed to short the vbat lines (again) but was quickly sorted. This was a 3s test Next steps will be wire up crossfire Still waiting on the bec to power the air unit Oh and my crossfire controller ---

Crossfire wired I think. But I may have pulled the trace for the tx pin off on the crossfire rx. No way to be sure if it works till my tx arrives ---
