What is FrSky GPS Module

f:id:drinktowind:20201117174050j:plain



In this article, we are going to cover some of the basics about the FrSky GPS Module and sensors. GPS that stands for Global Positioning System has gained its popularity from day to day life applications as well as many industrial applications. Moreover, it has rooted many applications in the Military sector where it is widely used. The applications of GPS is highly useful in RC hobby because of the same reason why it has gained popularity in day to day life.

GPS can be highly useful in RC Hobby ranging from RC Airplanes from Drones or even RC Boats. It can be used to locate the precise location of Crafts if they are equipped with a GPS Receiver. If we know the precise location of our rigs at a specific time, it can be used to calculate some other highly useful data as well.

Having the Precise location of our RC craft can be used to retrieve it on the scenarios of crashes or failures. It can be used for autonomous flights or RTH (Return to Home) functions with the help of a Flight controller. Using the coordinates of the location at a specific time interval can be used to calculate the speed at which it is moving. Because speed follows the simple equation, distance divided by time.

When we know the coordinates of the location of our RC plane or other crafts with respect to the time, it is easy to calculate the speed at which it is moving with the simple equation. How cool it will be to know the speed of our rigs to have more excitement? I would really like it. That is how GoPro cameras (not all the GoPro cameras) are able to show the speed data on the videos as the camera has built-in GPS to calculate the speed.

GPS gives x,y,z (and time as well) coordinates which means it just not give the latitude and longitude but also the Altitude. Hence we can know the altitude without having the need for a Barometer sensor. In Short, We can get the location, speed, and altitude with the help of GPS of our RC Crafts. Let's cover more about the Frsky GPS module and sensors rather than talking about GPS and its uses.

FrSky GPS Module

Before getting to know about FrSky GPS Module, we need to understand the difference between a module and sensor in order to have a better understanding of the next section. A module is a part of a circuit or hardware (or software) that can be connected like auxiliary devices. But on the other hand, the sensor is more like a “raw module” which cannot be used like how you can directly use a Module.

The sensor is more like “PNP (Plug & Play)” where the module is more like “RTF (Ready to Fly)”. A module usually has extra circuits in it which makes it easier to use than a sensor where the wiring will need to be figured out.


FrSky GPS Module (or GPS-01) is a very old one released by FrSky. It was released before 2010 and that's like more than 10 Years technology. I highly doubt if it exists today to purchase. This was supposed to use with the first prototype of telemetry released by FrSky. Smart port might be the first word to come to the mind when thinking about Frsky Telemetry.

But that wasn’t the case before 10 Years. There was no Smart Port telemetry and it required complex wiring to get Telemetry back in those days. For Example, You will need a sensor hub in order to serve as an information collecting and processing center, monitor the model status, and feedback all data back to the receiver.

FrSky GPS Module 01 is a small module and its output gives longitude, latitude and speed. The wiring is pretty simple as there is only three wires coming out of it. They are Ground, 5v, and Signal (RX) to be connected to the respective pins on the FrSky receiver that have telemetry. If you want to use other sensors like voltage, accelerometer, or even a temperature sensor, then you will need the sensor hub as they won't work in series.

FrSky GPS Sensor V2

This is a more developed and advanced version of the FrSky GPS sensor that runs on Smart Port Telemetry. The wiring is pretty simple. You can connect it directly to the smart port of the receiver. Moreover, you don’t need a sensor hub to connect more sensors. Instead, You can connect the sensor in series without having a sensor hub.

This is supposed to be an introduction to the FrSky GPS Module and sensors. Hence we will cover this topic in detail in another article including how to use it.

We have briefly covered the Frsky GPS Module and sensors. The GPS Module (GSP 01) is a very outdated product and the chances are rare you might find it on sale somewhere. Above all, this stand-alone GPS are outdated, and more advanced functions can be performed with the help of a Flight Controller.

FrSky GPS sensor V2 is a little bit advanced and easy to set up, but we cannot set any RTH functions with it. Hence it is more suited to go for a Flight Controller plus GPS Combo which might be cheaper than the GPS Module and can be used for autonomous flights as well.

Perfect RC Plane Transmitter and Receiver Set

f:id:drinktowind:20201111204302j:plain

 

Experienced RC pilots know that a good RC plane transmitter and receiver set is crucial for the ideal operation of the plane/drone. To feel fully in control of its movements, the receiver should acquire the signals and interpret them correctly and without significant delay. Also, the transmitter that sent such signals should maintain the precision of the pilot's commands even when they try riskier flight maneuvers.

The Taranis X-Lite Pro and the RX6R Receiver work together as an excellent RC drone transmitter and receiver set because both are high-quality products, made by a traditional RC drones company. FrSky guarantees perfect compatibility between the pair since this receiver was specifically developed to work with this transmitter, enhancing the pilot's flying experience

You can find FrSky's Taranis X-Lite Pro and the RX6R Receiver at horusrc.com for $199.99 and $27.99, respectively.

The Transmitter
The FrSky Taranis X-Lite Pro is an evolution of the traditional FrSky's Taranis X-Lite, a product already consolidated in the RC drones and planes market as an excellent transmitter option. For the evolution, new possibilities and tools were added to improve the flying experience of RC planes pilots. There are some changes between the versions and some notable common features worth looking at.

 

One change between the versions is the function that the micro USB port plays. On the Taranis X-Lite Pro, the micro USB port can be used to recharge the batteries of the transmitter. This change makes the process more practical and simple to be done when compared to the batteries recharging process of the older one. The X-Lite Pro keeps all the other functions of the micro USB port

Another improvement on the newer version is found in the gimbals. The X-Lite Pro is equipped with full aluminum made hall sensor gimbals. The use of only metal CNC machined pieces leads to a higher quality, which makes it more durable and better looking. And, of course, being equipped with a hall sensor, all of the pilot's commands are acquired with precision.

The switches above the radio have some differences. The X-Lite Pro has 2 three-position switches and 2 two-position switches, just like the Taranis X-Lite, but the newer one has bigger two-position switches, which are the FrSky's answer to a common users' complain that the X-Lite had short two-position switches. The X-Lite Pro also has two new buttons above, that can be used as momentary switches.

The FrSky Taranis X-Lite Pro is the first radio made by FrSky with its new protocol: the ACCESS. This communication protocol is the most modern air protocol in the market nowadays and FrSky is already releasing and adapting its existing receivers to be compatible with it. This radio with a new ACCESS compatible receiver will certainly give the RC pilot a new standard on RC transmitter and receiver sets

The receiver
The RX6R Receiver 6 PWM and 16 Channels Sbus outport with redundancy function is tiny and lightweight - only 2.5 grams without antennas. That's one of the reasons that make it such a versatile and reliable receiver, one that will fit perfectly in most RC planes and drones. It will surely please its users and pilots who have the most diverse flying styles.

Like many other modern FrSky receivers, the RX6R works with ACCESS. This allows for much simpler and safer binding, enhanced telemetry obtention, a more intuitive model setup, and many other new features that come with the latest transmitters in the Taranis Line, including our dear Transmitter X-Lite Pro.

The 6 PWM outputs work with very high precision and low latency, 9 ms less than that of the rest of receivers of the X-series in high-speed mode. Most planes do not need more than 6 PWM outputs, but, of course, that is up to the pilot. In case your model needs more channels, e.g. for telemetry, with ACCESS installed, it's possible to get 24 channels with the SBUS OUT port while still maintaining the small latency.

 

The set
Combining these two great FrSky's products you make an excellent RC plane transmitter and receiver set. The precision of a premium product like the Taranis X-Lite Pro and the possibilities of a receiver like RX6R will let you make totally different flights, feeling in control of the plane or drone.

Great and unique RC airplane kits to build

As RC planes gain more and more attention from many RC hobbyists, the number of models that appear in big stores, like HorusRC's online shop, is also rising. ZOHD, a brand that specializes in creating amazing Airplane models, took part in this growth as well. Thus, here are presented three successful RC Airplane Kits to Build made by ZOHD that you can buy at Horusrc.com. First, the Dart250G, one that certainly conquered the hearts of many users with its graceful lightness.

Following, comes Talon GT Rebel 1000mm Wingspan V-Tail, which was, as a matter of fact, created before Dart250. “Rebel” brought many impressive details and innovations alongside its robust design. And, to conclude: Orbit NEON LED FPV Flying Wing. This colorful plane came to extend the fun to any hour of the day, as an upgraded version of the Orbit FPV Flying Wing, that has already been around for a while. Do look forward to getting these RC Plane Kits to Build at Horusrc.com!

1. ZOHD Dart250G 570 mm Wingspan Wing FPV Airplane Kit to Build
Without further ado, we have the RC Airplane Kit to Build with the lightest and smallest plane out of the three that will appear throughout this list: ZOHD Dart250G 570mm Wingspan Sweep Forward AIO Wing EPP FPV RC Airplane. As per the request of many users of ZOHD models, this model was created to respect 250 grams weight limit that arbitrarily seems to have been established around the world.

In many places, this limit means the difference between not registering and registering, that is, between being able to fly legally and not. By using its default configuration, it is 100% under 250 grams. But, in case you want to use a configuration of your own choosing, staying under the 250 g should still be easy, as long as you are careful when picking out the battery and FPV gear, making the assembly of this airplane model quite flexible.

Fortunately, ZOHD's Dart 250G comes in various versions and one can find them at Horusrc.com. You could get the FPV READY version, which includes Dart 250G plane PNP (Plug-N-Play) with the pre-installed motor, ESC, servos, propeller, hardware as well as the ZOHD VC400 Video Camera. This package offers an RC Airplane Ready to Fly, being the most complete version there is to this model, and as expected, the most expensive one too.

There is also the PNP package version, that does not include the FPV camera and is, thus, a little cheaper than the FPV READY version. The cheapest version, the KIT package, only includes the Dart 250G plane KIT with EPP foam and all hardware. Both of these RC Plane Kits to Build are of easy installation, requiring minimal wiring and simple setup, making them highly recommendable.

f:id:drinktowind:20201104190222j:plain



Another great product in the market today, that is also available in the HorusRC online shop, is the ZOHD Talon GT Rebel 1000mm Wingspan V-Tail BEPP FPV Aircraft RC Airplane Flying Wing PNP and she is Dart250G's big sister. “Rebel” has a wingspan of 1 meter, almost twice the ZOHD Dart250G 570mm Wingspan, so, as one would presume, she is also a heavier RC Airplane model.

2. ZOHD Talon GT Rebel V-Tail FPV Flying Wing Airplane Kit to Build
Another great product in the market today, that is also available in the HorusRC online shop, is the ZOHD Talon GT Rebel 1000mm Wingspan V-Tail BEPP FPV Aircraft RC Airplane Flying Wing PNP and she is Dart250G's big sister. “Rebel” has a wingspan of 1 meter, almost twice the ZOHD Dart250G 570mm Wingspan, so, as one would presume, she is also a heavier RC Airplane model.

However, the additional weight is no downside to the Talon GT, seeing that it performs and looks like no other in the market. Requiring uncomplicated assembly, simple setup, and easy maintenance, it was specially designed to fly with modern controllers, long-range systems, and high power video transmitters, giving its users one of the best FPV experiences with RC planes to date.

As the name implies, she brings a fine design enriched with innovations to the table. Environmentally friendly materials, such as the Biodegradable BEPP, metal gear servos, high-quality power plants, protection for leading edges and skids, wing fences, vortex generators, dedicated bays for FPV gear, revolutionary multi-cam hard noses: these are just some of all the features that come in the RC plane Kit to Build of the ZOHD Talon GT.


Without further ado, we have the RC Airplane Kit to Build with the lightest and smallest plane out of the three that will appear throughout this list: ZOHD Dart250G 570mm Wingspan Sweep Forward AIO Wing EPP FPV RC Airplane. As per the request of many users of ZOHD models, this model was created to respect 250 grams weight limit that arbitrarily seems to have been established around the world.

3. ZOHD Orbit NEON LED FPV + FrSky Receiver Airplane Kit to Build
And last, but certainly not least, we have the ZOHD Orbit NEON LED FPV flying wing with 900MHz R9 MM Long Range Mini Receiver, the world's first SNAP-N-FLY portable FPV Wing with built-in LED for night flying. This RC plane comes with soldering-free built-in LEDs on the wings and nose, that is easy to plug and unplug like the detachable wings themselves, making it very convenient to carry.

One of the users' favorite features in this RC Airplane Kit to Build is the pre-installed ZOHD Stabilization Unit. Paired up with FrSky's 900MHz R9 MM Long Range Receiver, this gyroscope not only allows the Orbit Wing to always fly stable but also makes it very easy to control. It can autonomously fly right after hand-launch, never crashing when taking-off. Meanwhile, the new crash absorption system will save the plane even in case of a hard crash.

Aside from the LED lights that let you fly the Orbit NEON whenever you want, this RC airplane has one extra advantage to the Dart250G and the Talon GT: its sophisticated wings are attached to a fuselage that has a designated room inside for the pre-installed 1080p/30fps HD Camera with plenty of space to add even more FPV gear, which is why the Orbit is compatible with multiple bonus camera mounts, like Gopro H3/H4 or Runcam2 HD.

The best RC airplane servos for you

f:id:drinktowind:20201028222105j:plain



If you have ever tried to fly a remote-controlled airplane, you know how fun it is to soar through the sky with your own plane without having to go through the hassle of a real plane, such as checklists, boarding times, and waiting in lines. But even if you haven’t, and want to get started, or even build your own, there is one component you must always have great care for: RC airplane servos.

A servo is a small motor that controls all the parts of the airplane that require input from the pilot. As such, servos are responsible for moving ailerons, flaps, elevators, rudders, and landing gears, together with more fancy applications like releasing smoke. Servos are crucial to flight, so you need to choose one that is reliable, like the FrSky B1710, B1711, B1721, or the FrSky D50SA, all available on the RC hobby shop-HorusRC.com.

Lightweight, lightning-fast response

Every individual servo sold by HorusRC can utilize the SBUS digital protocol, whose response time is up to 6 times faster than the PWM and PPM methods offered in exclusivity by other servos. What this means for you is more responsive control surfaces, and a smoother flight overall. Still, the option for PWM and PPM is still there if you so choose.

Not only are these airplane servos faster, however, but they can also mean a general reduction in weight for your aircraft. With the SBUS protocol, every servo can be connected to the same wire, and that wire connected directly to the receptor. This way, no matter how large your RC airplane, you only need one wire linking six different servos, which reduces clutter and weight.

Robust and durable

FrSky B1710, B1711, B1721, and the FrSky D50SA are quality-built, made with machined aluminum cases and metal gears, which greatly increases its lifespan when compared to conventional, plastic case servos. The metal gears, compared to polymer gears used elsewhere, are also extremely durable and will see you through many flights.

These servos also come equipped with brushless motors, which provide less friction during operation, produce less heating, and have an overall better performance. This feature is responsible for extending your battery life during flight, and for guaranteeing long flights without faulty operation.

 

The FrSky B1721 and its many options of servo arms

Choose the right one for you

When choosing an RC plane servo, especially for small planes, any sold by HorusRC will do the job. Nevertheless, the FrSky D50SA is especially qualified for this task, being the smallest of the four presented here. It is the lightest variant, as weight is a very important consideration in small planes, and it is the cheapest of the set, perfect for light flying. If you are just getting started, give this one a try.

Controlling medium-sized RC planes is the specialty of the FrSky B1721. It offers a torque of up to 8 kg-cm, with the fastest response time of the set, capable of rotating 60 degrees in 35 milliseconds while operating at 8.4 V. This choice is perfect for those who are performing difficult maneuvers that require a very responsive aircraft.

Finally, the FrSky B1710 and the FrSky B1711 are the powerhouses of the FrSky servo family. Offering a torque of up to 21 kg-cm (operation at 8.4 V), these servos are ideal for large and/or heavy RC planes, subject to great flight aerodynamic loads. If you are afraid the servos you have will not be able to handle the flights you have in mind, or if you’re looking for a sturdy servo for your heavy flight, these are two great options.

At the end of the day, however, the FrSky B1710 and B1711 are an all-round good choice of RC airplane servos and will work with most remote-controlled aircraft. These can be bought with the peace of mind that they will be able to handle whatever it is you throw at them.

 

The FrSky B1710

Final considerations

You will need a channel changer to set the channel the servo will respond to. Once set, it will always respond to that channel until you change it again. The FrSky Servo Channel Changer SCC white screen is a good option to do this, and you can find more instructions on how to perform the channel change on its webpage at HorusRC.com.
