Got my Horus from T9's first batch and I'm loving it. Down loaded OpenTx firmware ( never considered FrSky OS )and have copied two models from my Taranis manually just to get to used to the programming controls. Hopefully I will get to the flying site tomorrow to do real flying with it. Programming is exactly the same as for the Taranis though a lot easier with the rotary dial. The transmitter is heavier but feels more solid & the switches & gimbles are second to none. There is still a lot of work to be done by the people that are doing the firmware but like the Taranis it will be a cracker when finished.

After accidently knocking the safety switch I was using and the throttle lever together causing the motor to start I decided I needed a more fool proof method. What I came up with and what I use on all my gliders is the use the S1 switch on my Taranis. In the logic screen I program a logic switch so that S1 has to be more than Zero to be turned on, then in the function screen using that logic switch, if it turned off then the throttle switch is overridden to -100. So before starting a flight the S1 switch is turn passed Zero and before collecting the model after landing the S1 switch is turn fully to the left (-100).
