The X20 looks like a nice radio. However, I've already been burned once with the X10S, finding out a couple months after purchase that it couldn't be upgraded to ACCESS without soldering a board and would never support ACCESS on the R9. With this radio, no OPENTX, no companion-like PC setup program and most importantly, no protocol module support from other vendors like Crossfire, Ghost, and the Jumper multi-protocol modules. That's the killer for me as I would always need another radio for anything that's not FRSKY. In most industries, the world is moving to open source. FRSKY is going the other way.

@SomeTechGuy666 3 года назад

You nailed it, Mark. Ditto for me on everything you said. RadioMaster: I want two of these with OpenTX and a module bay. Or maybe 2 module bays ?

Andrew: We see an excitement in you with all these new features so well integrated, and quality workmanship! Your presentation was rapid fire, but SO well photographed and organized. I sense we have just stepped into a new technology in our hobby which has made a transition from nerdy stuff into space-age technology designed for the everyday man (or woman). Have you had a chance to test the color touch screen yet in bright sunlight? It looks pretty good in the video, but I would like your objective assessment. I had been resistant to color monitors on transmitters before, preferring backlight B&W LCDs since they don't bleach out in bright sunlight. Your opinion? Your high clearance, big wheel rover looks exciting! Could you, or have you already done, a thorough video on all its basic and-add on features yet? Please do if you haven't. I'm working with Duke University engineering students now, but mostly lurking as they progress on a multi-university project (AUVSI) which involves a very large autonomous drone that must carry, deliver, and pick up a ground vehicle (like your rover) which must navigate autonomously as well, and find, retrieve, and deliver a soda bottle-size object to the mother drone, so your achievements and discoveries would be very welcome by all of us. I love your videos, your enthusiasm, and your enjoyment of sharing what you have learned! - Jim

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Yes I agree, I prefer simple monochrome screens. The big colour version of OpenTX is a visual mess. Search for "Rover" on my channel for all I have done with INAV Rover. But I suspect Ardupilot will be more useful for the project. Thanks for your encouragement Jim, very much appreciated.

@deancooper5513 3 года назад

Hey Vincent if youre buying the Phoenix S RTF please get yourself a good radio as the out of box RTF radio that comes with the Phoenix S probably costs just as much as if you ordered a FlySky I6 or I6X radio. The FlySky I6 is a great radio to start with if your drone radios won't suit, and has a lot more range and features for about the same money...you can buy them off Banggood or AliExpress. I have both the Phoenix 1600 and the Phoenix S, the Phoenix 1600 has flaps whereas the S you can set up with flaperons which you can program with the FlySky I6 / I6X. The Phoenix S flies very smoothly and is stable, and has a great glide...I've found with flaperons on mine it barely needed any correction with down elevator added to the mix (like maybe 2-3%).

@deancooper5513 3 года назад

@@Vincent-ux6fj Setting up the RTF version of the Phoenix S is very easy, everything is already installed or is ready to fit out of the box. The little latch parts that hold the wing in place can be a bit stiff, on my Phoenix S I had to remove the centre clip part and gently file down the edge of the catch a little so the two parts would snap lock together a little easier when plugging in the wings. Also the FlySky IA6B receiver is a great match for the I6 / I6X radio and fits perfectly at the back of the canopy area. Good luck!

Hi Andrew, thanks for the nice review! I had just bought a Horus X10S last year, which I do like, but I am tempted to buy this X20 or X20S very much. I do like the form, and especially the higher resolution screen, and am working only with ACCESS 2.0 and Archer receivers anyway, happy to move to EthOS, OpenTX is a bit Linux and I am a MacOS guy (although I work with Linux often for my work also). You mentioned that the X20 is positioned a bit below the Horus line, but is that only so in respect to the little bit lower pricing or also in terms of quality and feel?

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Pricing and switch quality, but I have not actually tested a Horus so really only guessing

@MrVasmikey 3 года назад

Thx Andrew! Great review as always. I usually purchase by your recommendations, however this will be an exception. Frsky is going off in a proprietary direction with no bay for crossfire or ghost etc. My Horus is getting less and less used these days. What’s with Ethos? Has Frsky been deaf to the industry? OpenTx is open that’s the issue; Frsky is not. My hope is they can dry up and blow away so the rest of us can stop wasting our time.

@deancooper5513 3 года назад

Based on the discussions out there it would seem FrSky wanted to direct how OpenTX was shaped and used to suit the development and features of their radios, and then expect other industry players to not apply similar features and functions that all come with using OpenTX. Obviously the industry, developers and customers have shaped OpenTX and being 100% open source that means one industry player cannot entirely 'control' the outcomes and market expectations of the OpenTX code. FrSky, like any other radio manufacturer on Open TX has benefited from and has input into the OpenTX code. However the only way FrSky can have protection and control of its own developments and products is to create its own operating system (ETHOS). Whether the X20 will support OpenTX remains to be seen, and no doubt FrSky fans who buy the X20 may end up finding a hack to make the X20 run OpenTX if it wont be supported by FrSky officially.

@MrVasmikey 3 года назад

@deancooper5513 3 года назад

@@MrVasmikey My own view is that everyone choice, in that you can choose to stay loyal to a brand, and only purchase equipment that falls in that choice. However even FrSky users have understandably felt abandoned by changes in protocols. In my case I 100% embrace the ability of being able to mix and match equipment and bind it all via an OpenTX transmitter...multi-protocol has huge advantages and lets the consumer explore lots of options. Granted there are those out there that don't like to stray from a brand or have a Spektrum view point. I agree however that anyone that has invested $$$ in plug in modules should be catered for by a manufacturer for some period of time at least beyond point of purchase and as backwards compatibility too. That's a learning for manufacturers to take heed from; if your customers feel abandoned then don't expect any future sales to be supported by the market audience you just cut off.

@passinthru4328 3 года назад

My only disappointments with this TX are: 1. the 2-position switch is still on the left side. My right-handed/left brain wants it on the side for throttle cut. 2. no option to install OpenTX, making it difficult/impossible to transfer models from OpenTX radios? 3. no computer interface like OpenTX Companion to facilitate programming the radio and models.

@SomeTechGuy666 3 года назад

LCDs are dirt cheap. Writing software to interface with (changing) phones and different screen sizes would be a pain. Best way to do it would be to embed and HTML server ((ESP32?) in the transmitter and send the phone HTML to view on a web browser. That might also allow the phone to control the transmitter. It is an interesting concept, though I don't see it replacing the LCD screen, especially if it is a touch screen.

How readable is the screen in full sunlight ?

Yes, sharp and clear even with polarising sunglasses on. I'll show it in a coming video

Has anyone seen these dual band receivers yet? Just got shot down with a Spektrum and want to switch to a dual band system, but I can't afford a Jeti lol.

I was just wondering if a radio like this is designed specifically for clean, battery-powered models. Everything's so neat and shiny... Is the finish, switch gear, and touch-screen fuelproof? What's the flying experience like if you've got old-school castor oil and ether and grass seeds and bits of fluff on your hands? Or is the idea of being owned by someone capable of such beastly ghastliness beneath its dignity? (The ether's in diesel fuel, by the way. Before all the lockdown restrictions I was flying sub-250g radio-interrupted [rudder and elevator] free-flight planes. Little burbling diesel engines are an absolute hoot.)

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

Anti fuel and dirt filters might need a software update!

@thecatofnineswords 2 года назад

Do you collect radios like planes as well? 😁

@AndrewNewton 2 года назад

Haha, so it seems. They keep sending new ones for review.

I hate to say it but EthOS looks like what OpenTX should look like.

@calibermix8159 3 года назад

Frsky's main objective is to attract potential customers from other major competitors. ETHOS is totally different to JR, Futaba or Spektrum software so it's gonna be a steep learning curve if they provide a crap user manual similar to the same that was written for OPEN TX

@passinthru4328 3 года назад

@@calibermix8159 I noticed that OpenTX has updated their manual. From a cursory look it appears to be considerably better.

@rccosplay3249 3 года назад

I'm glad it's NOT open Tx. What do you people see in it that's Sooooo amazing? Sorry but it's no better than Futaba fasstest or spektrums whatever. I like the Ethos system. I've read about it and sounds great! I can't wait for the FPV HD version to come out.
