FrSKY TARANIS QX7S

First, I picked up the FrSky Taranis Q series transmitter after spending some time at the @GetFPV shop in Sarasota, Fl. I always appreciate the help from the good people there and the endless options for drone hobbyist and enthusiasts. After a few clicks, a few questions, and some tinkering around. I added the @FrSkyRC Taranis Q X7S + Hall Sensor Gimbals to my drone arsenal. 

Secondly, after dropping the remote (bummer). I added a new switch pretty easily by buying a switch removal/replacement kit. I also purchased a few extra Ni-MH remote batteries for this particular model. The remote comes wiwth a battery and Ni-MH charger and the QX7S specifically has a charging port on board. This allows access to the battery through the remote or transmitter housing without having to remove the battery. 

By avoiding accidents and not needing to remove the battery pack to charge it, I can keep the battery protected at all times. This is really handy and reduces the risk of accidents occurring between charges.  It was a bummer to have to fix the switch, but it was good to get under the ‘hood’ and take care of it. If you need to tighten or loosen the gimbal pressure clips, you might want to do that while the cover is off.

Finally, our goal is to achieve price, serviceability, and scalability for 1-to-many, fixed wing and hybrid drones, including the – FV-31 Cypher micro quads from EMAX. There may also be other options such as Diatone Cinewhoop, tiny whoops or quadcopters that you can bind to this remote. With the success of our goal, the FRSky Taranis Q has been repaired, and now it’s time to fly. Enjoy.
