I flashed mine tonight to international version, works fine and D8 protocol available.
Quite fancied one of those whoop style micros for flying around the house but most are D8.
Looks like great fun
Wish I had a basement man cave like thatš

I had a test flight with my new Taranis X lite and XJB145 racing quad, what a difference to the throttle feel after a mechanical tune.
It only took a minute to adjust land fly tune the friction grub screw, now Iāve got it to where it feels locked in and itās so much easier to maintain altitude. I also shortened the sticks right down to the bottom which has removed my tendency to induce a bit of yaw when I throttle up.
In my opinion Frsky have nailed it with this radio especially if one has been used to play station type controllers, Iām now waiting for a R-XSR RX for full telemetry.

I think I need to do same with QX7S. The throttle feels a little strange and moves in steps, not bad, just not what Iām used to. Will need to look into it.
R-XSR is great. Was shocked at how small it is. It has uninverted s port pads on the newer ones so you donāt need to mess around when using F4 controllers.
All these radios come with a ratchet on the throttle stick, I opened mine to remove it to tension the stick, the down side is if it doesnāt feel right in flight it means opening it again which is a pain.
Iām on an F4 so thatās one pain removed eh! The larger R-XSR has F-Bus which is new to me and sounds great. Whatās you opinion on F-Bus? Have you tried it yet?
I saw they have a specific f-bus firmware when downloading the international one, completely different from sbus version.
Iāve not tried it and wouldnāt know where to start. My understanding is itās a combination of s-port and sbus over one wire.
Iām sure itās a step in right direction but for now the 2 wire sbus/s-port is not really an inconvenience and works well enough for me.
Flew in rate mode for the first time today, feels much smoother but was still getting away from me.
Ended with too sharp a turn then too much over correctionā¦ 1 broke prop, 3 bent onesā¦ I have spares on the way.
Just writing this has made me realise Iāve been through 3 sets of props already 
Oh and I also bought these of an auction site , which I think weāre bargains

Yeah, definitely lot of bargains out there, watch ebay regularly.
Thatās my problem as well, over correction. I dialled back my rates to around 350 deg/s when I first tried rate mode, tames it down a fair bit.
I looked at that Snapper 7 but couldnāt get one in UK. Brushless so itās going to seriously shift for a micro. Good buy
Iāve had a lot of crashes but not broke a prop yet, few worn where its been cutting into the ground. The Dalprop ones Iām using are really durable, Just had a load from Bangood arrive this morning.
Itās getting quite addictive this hobby. Hopefully got everything I need and going to try not spend anything for a few months.

Today I lost my XJB 145 in the sheep field for ages in the long grass, I thought I knew where she went down and I couldnāt hear the beeps. On my way back to the car to fire up the Mavic for a search and rescue mission I found her in a totally different area to where I thought she was.

Thatās my worry, it going down in long grass. The buzzer I put on is not that loud.

I should really try and sell some of this stuff on ebay.

You need a remote control released helium cartridge and balloon for long grass.
Edit: ā¦ or coloured smoke flare.

Postman Pat delivered my R-XSR, all hooked up ready for crashing. The RX has a pad for the inverter to TX6 which was handy.

Amazing little RX. Absolutely tiny. Itās about 1/4 the size of my previous flysky one.
I learned of the uninverted pad too late so have s-port through remapped motor 5 pad and soft serial.
Freestyle flying with lots of ground contact

I saw that write up on remapping, but luckily I turned the board over and my hope was realised when I saw TX6. I hooked it up more in hope but it didnāt work, then I came across the inverter pad information and that was that. I hooked up Betaflight and set UAT6 to S-Port saved it and the job was done.

Had some time to play with the beta75s and this thing is awsome.
Iām not too good at flying indoors yet but outside itās a blast. You can really push it without fear of a bad crash.
Setup a little track in my head. Up back garden, under clothes lines, round shed, over trees and back down going up over house, back down into front garden and back round to back. Got it going at a good speed for quite a few lapsā¦
Can definitely recommend to anyone looking to get into flying fpv.
