    XAircraft SuperX - Taranis - X8R

    I'm seeing the throttle movement graphic display on channels 1 and 9. Now perhaps I should mention that I'm powering the RX with a voltage regulator/distributor. That distributor is taking 22.2 volts from the PDB and converting it down to 5v. The PDB is also powering the esc/motors directly...

    XAircraft SuperX - Taranis - X8R

    First, many thanks to those trying to help. I've made some progress, but I've run into a wall. I've bound the receiver in mode-4 as per the manual. Now this says to jump the signal channel of 1&2, and 3&4. Looking at the manaul here: http://postimg.org/image/ka4emc9up/ it does not show a...

    XAircraft SuperX - Taranis - X8R

    May be a dumb question, but why set battery type to HiMH? I'm running 6S lipos on the bird.

    XAircraft SuperX - Taranis - X8R

    I've watched a few YouTube videos and also read the manual for my model of ESC. Here's what I'm deducing the process to be, after I've bound the RX: 1. Attach cable from throttle channel of RX to ESC 2. Switch on receiver 3. Move throttle to top position 3.5 Power it up 4. Beep/tone will...

    XAircraft SuperX - Taranis - X8R

    Thanks. Is there a proper guide for ESC calibration with the SuperX? I'm using Sbus.

    XAircraft SuperX - Taranis - X8R

    Friends, I've got my Tarot T960 all set up, powered up the bird and have lights on the 8XR and SuperX. Hopefully tonight I will be binding the Taranis transmitter to the 8XR, which is connected to the SuperX via SBus. Once that is done, what is next? This is my first build. I'm assuming...

    Bad PDB choice for T960 hexa?

    I've got an FrSky voltage meter and it will be sending back telemetry to my TX.

    Bad PDB choice for T960 hexa?

    Thanks koolkiwikat. Send an email to hobby-wing asking same question. They suggest that it is fine. I will not be doing super aggressive flying with this bird, but I do want to make sure I have no issues if I need to punch it in the event of an emergency.

    Bad PDB choice for T960 hexa?

    I'm building a Tartot T960. My first build of any kind. I bought a power distribution board for this unit and mounted it, but have later found out it is 100A. I'm worried I don't have enough amps on the PDB. I'll be running likely two 6S/5000mah batteries, the six ESC's are 40amp each and...

    XAircraft SuperX

    Looks like we have some similar gear. I have a Taranis TX and the 8XR receiver you do. I'm just now at the stage of setting up the RX with the SuperX. Never done this before so if you have any pointers I'd be grateful.

    Greetings from Utah

    Greetings new friends. Utah based newb pilot. Beeen flying a Phantom 1.2 with Arris CM3000 gimbal since October 2013. In the middle of building a Tarot T960 with a superX flight controller so I can get better photos/video and stability. I blog about the stuff, but not sure if I can post the...

    Need Advice between going FY690 Hybrid or full blown T960

    I've been flying a Phantom 1.2 since October. Got sick of the instability and the crappy quality of the GoPro (photos). So I decided to go BIG with a 960. It is 80% built. I went bigger because I didn't want to build two.

    XAircraft SuperX XHex

    Hey I'm new here (newb first post). I'm just in the last stages of building a Tarot T960. I've got the same dome and a super X. Looking for ideas how to deal with the fact that the included "dome pocket" is too small. Looks like building up a support is a decent option.
