Hi everyone,
I am thinking of buying a Turnigy 9x transmitter for my first RC Plane, which will be the FT-22 Raptor. However, I have a few questions about the Turnigy before I decide on it. I have tried to read manuals on it, and I have a pretty good idea on how it works, setup, etc. What I am unsure about is the PPM or PCM setting. What do they mean, which is better, and what would work for this build. Also, I have heard something about PCM only having failsafe, but what does this mean? I'm sure this is a very simple answer, but I am an absoulute beginner to computer radios.
Secondly, I want this to be a long term radio for me. During the winter or rain here in Canada, I would like to fly a small heli indoors, like the Helimax 100 CX, or SS. Would it work?
Lastly, I have heard of the er9x firmware. Does anyone know if it is worth the upgrade, or should I stick with the stock firmware. Please remember that this will be from an absolute beginners perspective to planes, so if it is only advanced changes I am not interested. The only thing I have experience flying with is the Latrax Alias.
Thanks for any help,
Ethan
