    Good Video, Unfortunately....

    I agree with some of this (the Facebook crap especially) but you could fly at 100 to 200 feet over your own property and have a neighbor get his panties in a bunch and try to shoot down your MR. Also since the story came out I've heard from a number of people I personally know who think it...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    The Tx that comes with the Iris+ (Turnigy 9x with FrSky module basically) can display Sat info, voltage, current draw, alt, rssi and more. I know there must be some way to get all this to the Taranis, the Iris is already trying to send it. I just can't seem to find out how the original radio is...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    Works GREAT!! Had 1 small issue, elevator channel was reversed, I saw this in the video and thought I had it right but it was wrong. Landed quick, shutdown, went into menu and reversed elevator. Took off again, PERFECT! Very windy today (usually never fly in this much wind) but GPS mode was...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    Finally got off my butt and set the Taranis up with the Iris. Following those videos it's not to hard to do and even starts to make sense after a while. Well almost, the one thing that seems to be a problem is trying to figure out how 3DR got all that telemetry data to display on the Turnigy...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    So reading more and I've since learned that the Taranis Plus comes with Open TX 2.0.x.x Mostly seeing setting it up with Naze 32, which is fine since I have just about acquired the parts to build a 250 fpv racer (no plans to race just learn fpv) that I have a Naze 32 going in. Naze 32 is...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    So last night I finally took my radio out of the case and charged it and turned it on, yes I'm slow and lame, it took me 3 months to unbox my Iris+ :rolleyes: I bought the Taranis from a company called Helibatics, (bought it off of Ebay) very fast shipping, had it in 2 days. About $250 with...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    He uses Open Tx Companion to do his radio setup, not sure if it works with Frsky FW, if it does then this ought to be simple, yea right :eek:....... :D

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    I was going to try setting the Iris+ up with my T8FG but the speech function of the Taranis seems just what I need. So hopefully I'll get the Iris+ setup with it soon, then my FW 550. After that I might sell the Futaba

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    He's doing a video series on Pixhawk now, this video is setting up Taranis Plus with Pixhawk. EDIT<<<>>> After doing a little digging I'm not sure I want to go with his setup, his FW seems to be Open TX and on the Open Tx site it says Frsky has their own FW loaded on Taranis and isn't part...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    Haven't had a chance to watch these yet however I think a lot of my answers will be found on this YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/Painless360 Lots of videos on Taranis and he's starting a series on Pixhawk as well as many other possibly useful stuff. Naze 32 videos for instance...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    Anyone using a Taranis TX with their Iris+ ? I decided to buy this TX mainly due to the fact I'm getting old and my memory stinks, so I figure a talking TX the can inform me which flight mode I'm in etc, could be a help. Honestly during my last fight I was getting confused again which flight...

    What did you do with your Iris+ today??

    Flying wise mine has been grounded for a while, I did buy a brand new Tx for it though.... Questions in my thread...

    Flipping during landing :(

    Can you take a pic inside the radio? Should be easy to get rid of ratchet action.

    How to choose Goggle for FPV?

    Thinking of Dominator v2's or Skyzones myself. The Skyzones attraction is the ability to work with so many different Tx's, While Dominator has to have an Immersion compatible Tx I believe.

    New Motors and Props installed in f450

    Maybe some one with E-Calc can help you. I was going to buy it but I'm not paying for it continuously, if they offered it for a one time payment I'd buy it.
