Good unboxing/introduction, but just to clarify some things for folks considering a purchase. In my case, when purchasing the Tandem X20R transmitter, the items that came in the box are packing slip, the radio, the case, some stickers, USB cable, neck strap, switch covers, (2) gimble protectors and a card with QR codes linking to the manual. Before power-up the internal transmitter battery needed to be connected and there was a sticker on the front indicating that. I found that opening the back cover to connect the battery required a bit more force than expected, but was not a problem. The other items shown in the video such as the antennas need to purchased separately and FrSky has lots of different RCVR's to choose from.
My radio firmware says it running Ethos - X20R v. 1.5.7 with a build date of April 23, 2024 ,guessing its their radio specific build of ETHOS 1.5 which looks to be a very powerful/flexible OS . Suggest checking out both the transmitter intro manual (10) pages _AND_ ETHOS 1.5 docs. I could not find FrSky's version of the ETHOS 1.5 on their site under the X20R documents. Instead they point you to an .exe download of "Ethos Suite Window 1.5.6" But if you go to gitub you can find the 405 (!) page long version of the 1.5 version of the ETHOS user manual at the bottom of the page github.com/FrSkyRC/ETHOS-Feedback-Community?tab=readme-ov-file.
It took me couple of late evenings to figure out how to set up a 6 channel V-Tail glider with mixers to replace a 20+ year-old Airtronics Vision sailplane transmitter. It probably would be better to learn the X20R's OS and interface with a standard tail glider config, but the configuration potential of this radio seems endless. It uses a 2S Lipo charged via USB. Super happy with my decision to purchase this radio. The RCVR used in my initial setup was also the TD- SR10.
Yes you are absolutely correct regarding content of the box. I ordered optional antennas, receiver, sensors and some other accessories. My radio battery came already connected. It does need firmware update and make sure you update firmware on receiver as well to avoid any problems. As far as configurations it's endless and fun too. I added some custom voice commands.
Could you please make another video showing the inside of the radio and how to remove the back
You mean to remove external module cover? I'll be happy to show options and programing tutorials. I know some would want to see the quality of internal parts used but as far as disassembly It goes beyond capabilities of the radio itself.
@@RCreview-USA It is not only a matter of internal parts. You may want to know how to make adjustments on the stiks and compare with other radios such as X20 Pro. Regards
@@franckbernhard294 I don't think this model allows to make adjustments like changing degree of orientation of gimbals
hi sir, your links are not complete
Thank you for letting me know. I'll update links. Because this channel is new youtube is not allowing me to add functional links.
I appreciate the effort. However, I did not learn much about the radio. Open the case, compare it to other radios, do a field “acid” range test, measure it, weight it, etc. Last, for such a neat radio, you show no excitement at all…
Thank you for watching the video. This was a quick look, unboxing video. I'll try to provide more technical information about the radio. I'm learning a lot about it myself. It has some really unique features that can benefit even professional users.
@@RCreview-USA Great, I suggest changing the title to "Unboxing" and not "Review" to temper the expectations of the viewers...
@@christiancml Next video is coming soon
This is an unboxing, not a review.
Thank you for watching my video. More content is coming regarding FrSky X20R and X20RS
