Welcome to Taranis! Video Series Guide

Here's a series of videos I did in conjunction with Aloft Hobbies an FrSky RC.  It's is designed to get you up and running on Taranis as quickly as possible.

I've got some more in the works.  What topics would you like to see?  Where have I got something wrong?  Let me know what you think!

The screen looks better (a lot!) in HD.

  3. Added to the list, thanks! Quick answer: mix a switch to the flaps channel. That will give you 100%, 0%, and -100% values for the three switch positions.

  4. Hi, Wonder if you can help me. I have a Taranis Plus and have a spectrum module plugged in the back for my e-flite models. I have switched to the external module and selected DSM. My model binds with the transmitter but none of the Thro,Ail,Ele,Rud sticks seem to operate. (also tried PPM) with less luck wouldn't bind. Additionally, on my KK2.0 controller board it arms every time I turn the transmitter and Xcopter on.
    Am I missing something in the setup. I have tried 2x spectrum plugin modules and both do the same. Unfortunately this radio may be a little too advance for an old bloke like me. Love all the features it offers but not much use if I can't work it out with out a PHd.

    Cheers

  5. Hi, nice compilation.

    I am building a two motors rc plane, and i would like to use the throttle stick to throttle and the other one to balance power between motors so it can roll. Is this conf possible with the taranis?

    Thanks a lot
