There are many videos about OpenTX and FrSky radios on YouTube and other video services.
One good documentation resource is at OpenTX University.
I will continue to document my efforts at learning and using OpenTX.

Re: Getting Started with FrSky radios and OpenTX software
These are the rest of thee new model wizard pages I walked through. You have options on things like no aileron, single servo, or dual aileron servos, and what channels they are on. I always use dual aileron servos when I can so I can use differential to straighten out any roll issues like a barrel r...

Re: Getting Started with FrSky radios and OpenTX software
After getting the Tx connected to the computer, it is possible to modify all of the models, radio setup, the firmware of the Tx, and anything on the transmitter. One of the great things is that you can see EVERYTHING on the computer. You can fully backup the radio on files on your computer. And you ...

Re: Getting Started with FrSky radios and OpenTX software
If you are going to use a FrSky radio or any radio using in the OpenTX transmitter operating system, you are going to need a computer do do very much. Windows is the most fully supported computer operating system with support for the OpenTX Companion software and many of the FrSky devices. Windows 1...

Re: Getting Started with FrSky radios and OpenTX software
Cindy and I went to eat on Friday night, drop off a shipment of cab-o-sil going to Amazon, get some more Bankers Boxes, shop at Guitar Centers and a few other errands. When we were on the way home, my air indicator for my right rear time came on and the tire went to flat pretty quickly. So the night...

Tutorials for Stabilization and Telemetry on FrSky Taranis X9D with OpenTX
The thread Tutorials for Stabilization and Telemetry on Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec, FrSky Taranis X9D, and more is going to get too complicated and jumbled up if I do all of the different stabilization and telemetry systems in one place. So I'm creating this thread for the FrSky and OpenTX information....

Re: Tutorials for Stabilization and Telemetry on Spektrum, Futaba, Hitec, FrSky Taranis X9D, and more
On my 50cc Pilatus PC-6 Porter, I'm putting in a 50cc equivalent electric motor. It is the Turnigy RotoMax 50cc Size Brushless Outrunner Motor . While the HobbyKing web site says it maxes out at 10 LiPo cells, the box and instructions say that it can handle 12 cells in series. It is rated at 120 amp...
