Every Tx that uses EdgeTx is basically the same. There may be slight differences from one brand of Tx to another but if you have seen one, you've seen them all.

I agree with LB & Bricks. I highly recommend watching YT videos first. Then read the documentation, it's full of details that the videos can't cover.

Bill Clark is another exclent YT resource on EdgeTx.

Just keep in mind, there atleast 5 ways to do everything with EdgeTx. Also lots of opinions on the "right way" to do something. Just pick the one YOU want & run with it.

Having watched a number of the You Tube videos I think it might be helpful to know that most seem to be created by people who are using Edge TX to control drones and not RC planes and the differences in hardware and terminology could be confusing for newcomers. All drones use what in RC plane terminology is called a flight controller to translate info received from the transmitter into output to the four motors of the drone. In Joshua's videos he calls this a beta unit or module. RC planes traditionally do not use a flight controller but use a receiver, servos and throttle (ECS) to control the plane. The videos are good for basic info about navigating menus, etc., but as you get into the more advanced programming capabilities of Edge TX they are less helpful because the flight controller is where most drone programming is done and the video presenters are less knowledgeable about how and why Edge TX programming is useful for RC plane pilots.

Huh? The pocket is just another transmitter to be used for just about anything

And because the Pocket transmitter and Edge TX can be programmed to control just about anything, with several menu pages and dozens and dozens of setting options, the process of getting your first plane off the ground can feel overwhelming. My previous post was an attempt to let newcomers to RC planes know that the YT videos referenced to earlier in the thread could be confusing if one didn't take into consideration the differences between drones and planes. If you are a newcomer just trying to get your plane off the ground, I would suggest you read the Flite Test article "Creating A New Model On The RadioMaster Pocket". That might be all you need to get flying.
