I recently acquired a Turnigy 9xr with OrangeRX module to replace my Spektrum DX6i. To say there is a learning curve would be an understatement.
I flashed it with the latest version of ER9x but found that I was unable to flash the EPROM - which sort of negates the benefits of it in the first place, because it meant I would be unable to setup the transmitter from my PC. So I ended up going with OpenTX. Whilst this is not the most intuitive system around (It appears to have been developed by Linux developers - ie. very little thought to usability), it is extremely powerful and with some help from YouTube, it does everything I want and more. I used the following videos from "Everything CPO" to get me started with it, which saved hours and hours of mucking around:

Anyway just thought I'd post that in case anyone else is struggling to get started with OpenTX.

FrSky Q X7 Mode 2, Turnigy 9XR Pro and Evolution. Multirotors, planes plus a couple of heli's. Too many to list.
Aaaaand if the wife is reading this: "The club made me buy these planes, I had no part in it, honestly!"
