I have not bothered dropping the frame lenghts below 2 ms as we are operating copters that mostly fly on flight plans but I am pretty sure that the radio would send 45 fps without any problem. The adapter takes it for sure on the 10x and 12x.
We have already accumulated hundred of hours with this setup without any problem.
My only concern is the durability of the Taranis hardware, especially the stick pots. Time will not tell for us as we will switch to BAT 60 as soon as they are available.
Also, we fly the UAVs way beyond the transmitters range and get consistently figures of 6 km radio link with the Weatronic system and patch antennas vs 3 km for most other systems.

Oli,
Myself and 2 modeling friends have been flying the Taranis for about 7 months. All 3 of us feel for our personal taste the centering of the sticks is too soft even with the tension adjusted full high. The sticks have metal pins for centering but they mate with a plastic centering arm. Jack has replaced the plastic centering arm with a steel arm hand made and now with the metal to metal the center feels very positive. We will replace the centering arm on the other two transmitters in the near future. I put a stiffer spring in mine rudder stick and the spring bent the centering arm enough to cause very sloppy centering and I went back to the standard spring.
When Jack was installing the metal centering arms he disassembled one of the pots to check the quality and was impressed with it. He doesn't think we need better pots.
I still would like to get the details on how you mounted the Weatronic Tx module on the Taranis and the wiring details.
