Hello, and turnigy 9x advice please
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2021 1:03 pm
Hello,
I'm completely new to this forum but I signed up as it seems the perfect place to ask advice with my problem
Many years ago I tried to teach myself to fly an RC plane.
Flight 1: lasted 4 seconds, and my plane was smashed to bits!
I fixed my plane and flight 2 lasted about 6 seconds.
In that 10 seconds of experience I must have learnt something because after more repairs flight 3 lasted 20 minutes!
Since then I have flown my plane on and off, but have never really overcome the stress of feeling like I have no real clue what I'm doing.
Anyway... My question is actually about transmitters
I have a turnigy 9x, that is stock. Maybe 8 years old, I'm not sure.
I want to fly some smaller planes using AFHDS 2A.
Should I upgrade my 9x to AFHDS via a banggood module, (£28ish)
Also upgrade the firmware, but to what? I'm very happy to solder
Or should I buy a new transmitter, like a cheap flysky i6 that I can probably get for £40ish.
I can't decide what to do and the info on the web seems.like a mine field! Please help.
