So I love the idea of telemetry - and make it full range please.
I currently only fly what's left of an e-flite mSR with the radio that came with a CX2 (the LP5DSM) but am looking to get into fixed wing and get some "real" helies. My first heli was the e-flight CP Pro, I almost learned to hover it! (all by myself, nothing but me and the instruction manual)
I have no club and no friends so I can start the club off with whatever radio I want, but they keep coming out with new ones so fast!
I LOVE the thought of having a spektrum DX9, until I try and purchase rx's and then have to get additional telemetry modules as well. Those prices are BS!!!! I don't mind paying a premium for the tx but rx's should be cheaper.
That being said, I am looking to the other "budget" radios. The FrSky Taranis (which is sort of unavailable) or the Turnigy 9XR.
There are a few things I do not understand, and it's basically everything to do with the modules. Can some one please give me some scenarios. for exapmle, if I just buy this 9XR from HK can I just buy a rx and bind it? or do I need a module as well? Same deal for this Taranis from HK
Second thing, while I really like the idea of telemetry built right into the tx, the 9XR does not have this. Is this something that can be added via software/firmware in the future, or does it require hardware in the TX.
I am also interested in a separate telemetry system so I can swap it from model to model and into my boats where heat is the ultimate destroyer. I would LOVE to have like 3 or 4 temperature sensors for those.
A last simple question - Can I get a DX9 and use cheap rx's with telemetry? (cheap telemetry to)
I just seem to keep going in circles. I also don't need a radio right now, I don't mind waiting for the right one.
