Using Frsky 2.4 module in a Turnigy 9X
Getting back into RC after 10 years off, still have my Futaba 9Z and 8U working great, but am slowly moving into 2.4. I bought an 8U with an internal Corona 2.4 module and 3 rx's, an 8U with Frsky DFT and 2 rx's, and just got a Turnigy 9X v2 with 6 rx's. I have been reading about using a Frsky module in the 9X to get telemetry and better range/reliability. Question: is that swap really worthwhile? If so, which Frsky "DXX" module do I get?

RE: Using Frsky 2.4 module in a Turnigy 9X
Warjet,
I don't own a Turnigy or a Frsky, but a guy in my club does. He has both the older Turnigy 9 and the newer, nicer looking one. He uses Frsky only. He said he went to the Frsky site and ordered what they recommended. He is a elec-tech in the area here and he has checked Frsky out and fully believes in it. He modded his older one the add much if the stuff the new one has.
I already have so many JR, Spektrum, Orange and Lemon RXs that I am not in a position to change just like I was late to 2.4 since I had so many JR PCM RXs I couldn't just dump.

The turnigy TX requires the jr module from frsky . Very highly recommended system . Im trying to sell all my spectrum RXs so I can go all frsky in my jr 10 x . Going to use the spek modual in a turnigy 9x with some slope soarers with orange and lemon receivers ( sounds a bit fruity but W.T.H.) . Cheers the pope

RE: Using Frsky 2.4 module in a Turnigy 9X
I received a Fr-sky TARANIS last week. Its a bit overwhelming at first but fairly easy once you get into it. They need to generate an operators manual. Its comparable but easier than the Multiplex Evo. It also has telemetry and voice alarms that the Evo dont.
I compared it to the $3000 futaba and the only thing it dont have is the color screen and a camera. And again it has voice prompts that the Futaba dont have.
The price? $175 if you can find one. The distributor has a waiting list that you can join
And BTW it has a place to plug in a JR module so you dont have to throw away your JR receivers.

Re. Aloft Hobbies, be careful dealing with these people! I purchased several FrSky modules from them, had a problem, sent them back for service per their request and that was the last time I saw my equipment! Have tried contacting them and have never heard back! They still have my equipment! Contacted FrSky and was told they will not get involved with this situation! No Customer Support and NO EQUIPMENT! Deal with know honorable dealers! From this experience I've decided to stay with the major brands Hitec and JR from Horizon or Tower and pay the premium. At least I know I'll get quality service and support...

I was notified by aloft that I was up to purchase yesterday and I promptly sent them the money through the link I was sent.
can't wait. I have purchased a couple of receivers and modules from aloft an am satisfied with the service, so much so that I had a chance to purchase my radio from another source but wanted to do business with aloft. Can't wait to get her in my hands.
