BANGGOOD Taranis X-Lite - bit.ly/2PrplBh
This is a beautifully designed Taranis, just as powerful as the X9D+ and Q X7 but much smaller and easier to hold. Internal antenna and RF module, with provision for external antenna and R9M Lite
915/868MHz module. Great for quads and planes.

Beautiful slow flying there Andrew, it seems to be a lost art :)

Love the frsky stuff, it's awesome!

@davidwatkin1484 5 лет назад

Andrew, your review and recommendations convinced me to buy the TARANIS QX7S, which arrived yesterday. Surprisingly,the new model has a charging port on the bottom right, just below the rotary dial. Looks like a nice piece of kit. Thanks for the instructional videos......brilliant.

@AndrewNewton 5 лет назад

Seriously good radio and system. The addition of a charging port lifts it to the next level.

yeah i have been looking at the v2, the night radian. Looks like a great update to the plane. Not out yet. soon

It is a great Tx Andrew, it is so light you will get used to not having a neck strap, I haven't touched my other Txs since I got my X-Lite. :)

@pete_stevens 6 лет назад

I only recently brought the Taranis 9D+ which I have to master. I'm a new rc flyer so looking at various vids on RU-vid does help me understand what's happening with new items available.

Isn't that crazy? Most kids already know how to fly FPV from Playstation and Xbox experience. This is a great idea for ease of transition into the hobby.

@AndrewNewton 6 лет назад

Funny but I haven't used my X9D+ since this arrived. I will eventually but I do like using the X-Lite

Hi Andrew, What fun. If I did not have the responsibilities for caring for my dad, I would book a flight and join you for a day of sloping.

@archivist17 4 года назад

I'm amazed Spektrum haven't got a product in this market! The X-Lite looks like a real winner, especially for glider flying. Thinking of going this direction for my dlg. But I have a lot to learn about OpenTX. Time to watch some RU-vid videos!

@AndrewNewton 4 года назад

It would be great for a DLG, easy to grip and light. I have dropped my X9D+ more than once flinging a DLG

This one shows the process. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B_NowMjmANM.html Just have to make sure you choose the X-Lite firmware and SD card contents. The Amber sound pack is the same

@SolarReturn1966 6 лет назад

Awesome radio my friend! Excellent review as well! Quick question for ya Andrew. Would it be any problem to put in the description on what cameras you are using on each product review that you do. The reason I ask is because im curious which cameras ate used because im wanting to purchase a few cameras myself and was thinking it would add to your already informative videos as well? Best regards?

@AndrewNewton 6 лет назад

Yes I will do that, good idea. I'm putting together a page of all the cameras I use and review on my Newton Airlines blog

My battery caps are really tight when the battery is in. I had to put some vegetable oil on the cap, now it’s much better.

@AndrewNewton 5 лет назад

Good tip. Mine is OK

@jacktheaviator4938 5 лет назад

I was VERY skeptical of the "game console" design until i actually tried it. Now the X-Lite with an R9 lite module has become my go to for simpler models, anything that doesn't have a flight controller in my fleet is more often than not bound to it. If a model has a lot of bells and whistles, I still reach for the Horus, and this might sound crazy but I use a modified Flysky i6S with EZUHF for my SUPER long range stuff. It might be a cheap radio, but I like the form factor, and the EZUHF does all the real work, the i6S just outputs the PPM signal. But for a grab and go 4-6 channel flying session, the X-lite is dynamite

@AndrewNewton 5 лет назад

Yes it does feel great to use. Perfect for slopers at the beach.

@jacktheaviator4938 5 лет назад

Sadly, I live in Ohio, 1 million miles from salt water, so the beach isn't on my list of available flying spots. But I love using it for thermal surfing with my Phoenix, or my ASW28. It is really nice having a very light intuitive radio so I can focus on the bird.

@johnholland3476 Год назад

U just sold me this transmitter great review ,would you upgrade firmware or stay stock

@AndrewNewton Год назад

Yes a lovely radio. I tend to update to the latest once it is mature, but stock is fine. Just has to match your receivers

@SabareeshPambalath 5 лет назад

Hello Andrew, I recently bought x lite transmitter & I am currently confused as to which receiver to buy. What do you suggest.. I only fly fixed wing airplanes

@AndrewNewton 5 лет назад

X series receivers are my favourite for the easy telemetry module connection. But any ACCST protocol receiver will work. I like X4R for flying wings, X6R for normal planes or X8R for planes with flaps or landing gear etc.

@nealrobinson7054 5 лет назад

Hi Andrew, I have one coming from BG as a Christmas Present from my wife, though she doesn't know it yet, my question is :- does it bind to most Taranis receivers or do I need special ones, I am upgrading from a FlySky T6

@AndrewNewton 5 лет назад

Your wife has good taste, even if she is not aware of it. Any 2.4GHz ACCST protocol receivers will work. I prefer the FrSKY X series which allow easy telemetry setup and have great range.

Yes

@ChristopherF_1971 6 лет назад

Nice but I like my QX7 and x9d. I’m not a fan of these tiny controllers. It is nice though.

@seffdog1177 3 года назад

Is the range good enough for planes? Especially long range?

@AndrewNewton 3 года назад

I have heard that the power is less with the XLite so it's not a long range radio as it comes, but you can add long range modules.

are the potentiometers spring-loaded?, do they snap back to their origin?

Adjustable spring loading on both sticks so you can set up Mode 1 and 2 or both spring centred

also, they're not potentiometers, but hall-effect sensors:)

Is it open source like the x9 and can it run same software as x9 ?

@garyrobinson312 6 лет назад

Nice radio shame about the battery format. 18500's are an odd choice and are not that common anymore even in the vaping world. They also have a pretty low capacity. 18650 would have been a better choice and at only 15mm longer wouldn't have affected the size of the radio too much

@AndrewNewton 6 лет назад

Yes odd decision.

@saleplains 5 лет назад

perhaps a modification to the transmitter is possible

@d1o2n4 5 лет назад

garyrobinson312 there’s a mod out there were you can 3D print new battery covers that allow an 18650 battery to fit. What it then does is make it look more like the dark night controller which looks nasty. I see why they didn’t go the easier more standard battery. I have this controller and love it. Not being able to USB charge sucks though. That’s my main complaint.
