My own thoughts are the Taranis 9+ can be updated only with FrSky firmware ? It's the external module I thought could be updated with the MPM firmware. But re-reading it is a Frsky XJT module so possibly not - don't know. ? Even so the module could be updated to contain the FrSky X2 (D16) protocol to cover the R9 mini. Leave the internal protocols on the Tx as is. If updating to the EU/LBT version this may not have the D8 protocol as it is not LBT as far as I understand. ?

Is there some reason the external MPM module can't be updated to the latest version ? (or is it limited to just FrSky firmware ? ) The latest MPM update will give FrSky X2 (D16) which should cover the R6 mini. (as well as D8 etc.) https://www.multi-module.org/using-the-module/protocol-details

P.S. Unfortunately the "UNIVERSAL" on the T9 website = FCC version and not the "UNI" firmware of Mike Blandford.
-
Just a thought - some receivers have trouble binding if the Tx is close. Might be worth a try moving the Tx a few feet away when binding. Is there a possibility of an FCC/EU-LBT issue. ? I would presume the Rx, if new, would normally be a V2 / LBT version. And usually there is a label on the box showing this.

Volantex Echine and Sonik Mini Planes (Corsair ETC)
John Wagg replied to Zflyer's topic in All Things Model Flying
Ditto. Intermediate mode and just pull up for a loop. Not managed a roll yet. Haven't got the equivalent for the acrobatic button on my TX16s. Now on my second T26 Trojan. Lost the first one when I flew across the sun. Never saw it again. I fly Mode 1 and just can't use the included transmitter. -

John Wagg replied to Zflyer's topic in All Things Model Flying
A few of similar planes in our club but no one has managed to fly in expert mode. Generally all fly in intermediate mode. I have set up some very small rates om my TX16S but not had chance to try them out yet. -
Have you tried a bit of toe-in on the undercarriage ?

I've had a Radiomaster TX16S Mk1 for a couple or 3 years now. Not had any problem with it at all. It certainly needs a bit of use of the little grey cells to work through its functions but there are numerous YouTube videos on the how-to. The 4 in 1 module (MPM - multie protocol module) is the one to go for if you want to keep your Spectrum dsm/etc receivers. Also will operate a varied number of other makes. Stay away from the Radiomaster standard receivers as they have a mixed history ?
-
If you want to use your existing receivers will the newer Tx's be compatible ?
-
You can use any battery as long it is the correct voltage.

Inverted OS 26 FS - not quite given up but pretty close

Have you tried a different plug. My situation the engine would run with the glow connected but not without at idle. -
Slope soaring, an ideal entry into learning to fly RC model aircraft?
John Wagg replied to Rich Griff's topic in Beginners
Over 40 years ago since first going up Parlick. These hills have certainly got a lot steeper since then. 3893146a-8013-402c-9f09-90125be04c61.mp4 -
Slope soaring, an ideal entry into learning to fly RC model aircraft?
John Wagg replied to Rich Griff's topic in Beginners
Did a bit of flat field bungee launches (Monterey) before a couple of friends took me up to the hills. Ideal way of an introduction into RC flying. They advised me on which would be a good model to start with. (Dave Hughes Soarcerer) Hours of learning the basics, orientation, aerobatics etc. The only problem was landing on a 45 degree rough slope. Plenty of lead taped on if the wind was a bit brisk. Never been afraid of dead-stick landings given enough height 😉
