For a quick easy start in ELRS using a Taranis, see

Notice: no downloads, no lua scripts, no complexity.
These are the 2 ELRS components used in the video
TX module:

Receiver with 5 PWM ports:

These components are both available in Aust. drone shops, of which there must be about 100:
eg Fasterfpv; Fasterfpv (in Lidcombe) have sold out of the 500 mw betafpv module, but have the 1000 mw one shown in the vid still in stock for $20 more; the BetaFPV 1W ELRS Micro TX Module 2.4GHz BLACK × 1 costs AUD 85. Both modules are fine for line of sight applications where you may set the module power at 25 to 100 mw.
Drone Parts Garage (in Brisbane) sell the BetaFPV ELRS Micro 2.4GHz Receiver shown in the vid for AUD 20.50
To get a 7ch rx, I am investigating Matek rxs.
A Matek ELRS R24-P PWM Receiver 5ch I ordered will require me to microsolder the PWM sockets onto the pcb board.
I am crap at soldering, so I plan to try a professional service.

(b) There is a phone repair place 20m from the entrance to Chatswood railway station. I asked about microsoldering on pcb boards, he said they do it every wednesday when they have a technician come and work at their microsoldering station, which he showed me.
This 7ch PCM Matek rx will also require microsoldering on the pcb board.
