[SOLVED] FrSky Transmitter Setup Guides?

Hello,

I just switched from Spektrum to Frsky and I'm completely lost.
I don't even know how to setup channels and other basic things.
I used Spektrum for many years and didn't have a single problem setting up everything.
Are there any transmitter guides for Frsky available?

Or maybe someone could be so kind and send me his model setup so I could upload it to my radio and go from there.

Currently I have a Taranis Q X7 untily my local hobby shop doesn't get the Horus x12s back in stock.
I'm setting up my heli with the X4RSB.

Many Thanks!

Hello,

first from all I recommend to install the Companion software.
You can download it from the Open-TX web page.

There you can configure your radio easily (load and upload your changed radio profile).

We have prepared finished profile for Taranis X9 - http://manual.spirit-system.com/index.p ... PE_Profile, it can be used with your X7 after a minor changes.
We will prepare profile for X7 so you can just load it and fly with no other configuration.

Hello,

thank you very much ZeXx86!

Will download the profile and upload it to my radio and go from there. This should help quite a bit.
And when the X7 profile is ready, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

I looks like, I will have to wait for you to prepare the X7 profile, because I just can't get it to work.
With Spektrum, it was a piece of cake...
Guess I will have to learn a lot about OpenTX, before I can set up a helicopter by myself.
Setting up my quads on the other hand, was a piece of cake with OpenTX.

Regards!

UFOking, I can try to help where I can. I understand OpenTX reasonably well. I use an X9D Plus instead of the X7 though.

Thanks, but let's first wait for ZeXx86 to upload the profile and if I than need any help, I will reach out to you, OK.

No problem UFOking. It takes some time to break your thinking away from the way that the main commercial radio manufacturers operate like Spektrum & Futaba. Once you do it becomes fairly easy to change things.

Here we have profile for the Taranis Q X7:
http://spirit-system.com/dl/opentx/Spirit-FBL-x7.otx

You can just start the Companion software, open it and import.
It is possible you will need to recalibrate the sticks.
