9XR vs. the Taranis my 2 cents
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 7:16 pm
I recently received a Taranis from Aloft Hobbies after 11 months on the waiting list. I have been using a 9xr with a DJT module for the last year after my JR 8103 took a dump. I wanted the Taranis and settled on the 9xr as a cheap throw away alternative. Figuring $50 would not break the bank if it was c**p. I have 3 V8R4 II recievers and 3 V8FR receivers and the X8R that came with the Taranis.
I tend not to screw with factory settings, as I am not that techie. But side by side, I find the 9xr software much simpler and easier to move around. I have 10 planes set up and it is quick and simple. I tend to use YouTude videos as my source of information.
The Pluses for the Taranis. Companion 9x, the sticks have a better over all feel. And once bound to the reciever it is instant on. reversing the servos was a mystery at first but figured it out. I plan on using this forum to get more familar. But at 3 weeks, for your money I would say the 9xr is better way to go.
I would say I am a sport flyer mainly. convention nitro, electric planes, 1/4 scale, flying wings and a glider. flaps, flaperons, snap roll button(8103) are as complicated as I get so far.
Well thats my two cents.
