Can you program the sbus extender directly from the radio? Seems like that would be very handy and you wouldn’t need a dedicated programmer..

Hi Lee, It may be possible now, this was done around three years ago now. Best bet would be to look at the FRsky website and see if they have upgraded the unit and the way it can be programmed. Update all my receivers via my radio, so it’s possible you can do this now. I will have to look into it as well. Have a great day. 👍🏻

My CAA needs to be done again next year I believe, I think it’s every 5 or 6 years. I think these days in the UK it weather that’s changed the most. Gone of the days when you knew it would be warm weather for June and July when I was young. Hope you sub and stick around to follow my journey in the sky. Have a great week ahead. 🫡

I read one persons review and he said…”The one downside is the vynl type covering and the weak landing gear.

Well covering is expensive now, but a lot of people use Doculam, you can even spray it, using certain paints. The landing gear is weak, but you can get a stronger type made for you. I guess I don’t mind tinkering, and if it’s a project then you can have fun.
