Great Info here! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Rodney, Great! Can’t the radio update be done using the WiFi option like in the relatively new Spektrum series NX., where you basically connect your Spektrum Radio to home WiFi and it updates,, like mobile ioS or Android. Does the Frsky radio has a WiFi wireless connectivity feature!? Thanks

23:44 my screen that comes up right after adding a model doesn't look like that, it only has 3 choices : "no engine", "1 engine", and "no engine" again, with the middle one selected. When hit "enter" to bring up the menu, that menu only has two entries: "no engine" and "1 engine".

For anyone who still wants to know how to add ALL trims to sub, trims scroll to the end of the trims menu and it's the last item on the list "Move Trims to Sub Trims" that is also not the point of the different trim levels, start at coarse 4us per trim click or medium 2us per trim click and zone in on the perfect trim by going down level by level to extra fine at which point each click of trim is as fine as it gets at 0.5us.

Ah... wow things have changed a lot since I last flew RC

[@RodneyFlysRc]

I started flying Frsky a few years ago, I needed telemetry and Futaba's prices were outrageous. I was watching the racing drone video's and everyone was flying with Frsky, I started researching why they used Frsky and found out that they had the best signal lock in the industry, as well as the lowest prices. The radios have improved dramatically since I started flying with them a few years ago, and are now on par with radios in the 2,000 dollar range at a 1/3 of the cost. My new radio uses two 2.4 ghz protocols as well as 900 mhz signal, if one signal drops out one of the others takes over. There is bit of a programing learning curve but once you understand it, it becomes easy to program.

I have been out of it for a long time. I was looking at getting a new radio. I think I am more confused now than ever. Is there a way to update the firmware over WiFi.

[@RodneyFlysRc]

@matthewkirk514 I don't believe so it has to be plugged into the computer to update the radio through ethos suite. This is the way almost all radio brands are now.

@@RodneyFlysRc ok confused or not I have just ordered the x20s wish me luck lol.

@@matthewkirk514 Nice Start out with one small plane get used to the programing then move on to others, If you are on facebook join the Official Frsky Ethos group there's a lot of helpful people there. facebook.com/groups/frskyethos
