modules). Support for serial DSM2 for DIY Spektrum modules is also present (see the

details).

Mapping of the transmitted channels is free, so once an external module is added you have the choice of
either creating a redundant system where the same channels are transmitted via both internal and external
RF, transmitting up to 32 independent channels simultaneously, or anything in between.

Internal RF (and external RF when an FrSky XJT module is fitted) supports receiver lock (X receivers only)
and allows configuring failsafe conveniently from the radio with 3 modes: Hold, Stop pulses, Custom
positions (only available with X-series receivers, D and V-II series use the usual receiver button press).

receivers and sensors as well as new Smart Port sensors. Configurable metric or imperial units. Integrated
audio variometer (sensor required on the model). Data logging can be enabled on the supplied microSD
