The thing I like about it is: with the companion software which you can d/load it for free, there is a simulator so you can try out the Taranis's programing system, move the virtual sticks and see the resultant virtual servo out puts.
It didn't take me long to put together a programme for a flying wing I want to build, with ailerons and flaps and dual rudders (mounted on the tip fins).
I set it up so the dual rudders can be used as air breaks with the flick of a switch they'll move out in opposite directions to a predetermined or dialled up amount and still act as rudders when the rudder stick is moved.
The flaps can be switched to act as flaps or elevons at the same rate as the outer elevons or with the flick of a switch, at a different rate, in just the elevator input so washout is automatically added as elevator is applied. And it can just as easily be switched out of that and to crow break configuration as well.
There are 9 flight modes so I can probably have all dual rates, for all controls, in all modes, operated by one switch as well.................. How nice is that !!
It has a really neat programming system It's very flexible and not too difficult to use. There are a lot of "How to" videos on Youtube and there are some templates already set up in the Taranis as it comes.
You can have a go at it with out even buying one !! By using companion9X's Taranis simulator
Just Brilliant !!!!
