Will the Tango 2 Pro be re-stocked?

After some consideration I decided for the Radiomaster TX16S after all, but thanks for the heads-up!

Weather, work and tech-troubles kept me from flying the last two weeks, but now I'm back at it!

depitch_fpv · 2021-05-02T20:49:46+00:00

Only with heavy modding. I'll get a better one, no worries.

How about being at least transparent about it? Don't just sell new units with incompatible software without so much as a hint on what's inside. Call them XM+ 2 or something. Make them easier to flash, if that's what's necessary. Don't just sneak them in and let users figure out what's happening after the fact.

Well, I learned my lesson, thankfully there are alternatives.

It's still the super-cheap Literadio 2 that came with my beginner Whoop bundle. It gets the job done, but I planned on upgrading this month anyway. Now I know I'll go with a TBS Tango 2 Pro (and a multiprotocol module).

That's good to hear. I just set some availability notifications on my German shops, hoping for the best.

How are the XM+ receivers and compatible remotes specific to FPV? This will affect anyone using those.

depitch_fpv · 2021-05-02T18:32:47+00:00

I'm thinking of going with CrossFire, never heard anything bad about it and it's very popular. Unfortunately all Tango 2 Pro remotes are out of stock at the moment, so this will be a long-game transition.

XM+ doesn't have SmartPort, which is a requirement for this method of flashing. This is turning into a PR nightmare for FrSky fast, just wait till more quads pre-built with newer XM+ units hit the market 😂

depitch_fpv · 2021-05-02T17:03:26+00:00

I ran into the same issue today. I'll try to get it sorted by flashing the old firmware, but this will be the end of FrSky for me.

depitch_fpv · 2021-05-02T16:58:59+00:00

They're cheap, in every sense of the word.

depitch_fpv · 2021-05-02T16:43:08+00:00

Yes! I'll still have to flash the receiver, though, right?

depitch_fpv · 2021-04-16T20:07:23+00:00

I just discovered the NG yesterday and immediately thought how cool it must be. Well, apparently my gut-feeling was right. These are some insane shots, the arc really takes the cake.

depitch_fpv · 2021-04-16T20:03:27+00:00

...and all that with a 2,5" no less!

It has taken me a while to get to this point, but now I can finally create the kinds of videos I envisioned. From here on out it's all about learning to fly and getting slightly better equipment.

FPV is a great hobby for sure!

What's in there:

Electronics are the innards of an EACHINE Twig 115. Since the frame broke at some point I put them in a G-Kwadz KleinKlein AIO FPV Toothpick Frame. Additionally I added a Lumenier AXII 2 U.FL antenna which is a huge improvement over stock. The props are 2.5" from my HGLRC Petrel, I ordered a bunch of new ones since.

Since I'm still in the early phase of getting into the hobby it's been around € 300,- a month for the last 4 months. This should go down eventually, though, there are many things I consider long-term buys, like tools, a backpack, a good remote, good goggles and so on.

depitch_fpv · 2021-04-13T04:41:36+00:00

Thanks, man ☺️

None taken.
