I was searching for a new transmitter which should fulfill some features i had missed since my beginning of RC modelsport. My focus is on scale glider and some F3b competion models, and i wished to have more possibilities in mixer configurations than the usual, predefined menues from mid-priced transmitter gave to me. So i read all the flagship-tx manuals from well known manufacturer, tried some configuration software, but no solution was capable to satisfy my personal needs. By chance i read in a forum about the principle of "channel driven" programming of Taranis transmitter without the limits of hard-coded mixer configuration. The Taranis X9e would be the right choice for me because of the tray design and the (extendable) number of switches.

Surprisingly you could download a config tool named companion for programming the model by using your PC . Two hours after starting it was like you've lived in a cave for a long time and suddenly standing in the centre of times square, thanks to OPENTX ! Because of the stringent "input-process-output" principle, the freedome to create own mixers on every channel, and a little bit "spreadsheet" like logic, it was an easy going to create a simple "four flap glider program".

Not only that i was able to perform a complete configuration, including logical switches, special functions, announcements an so on, you could simulate the whole config ! 
The possibilty of designing several telemetry screens, sourced by a hugh amount of sensors, completed the extremely positiv expression. So buying was a no-brainer.

Three months after first use i never experienced any failsafe, regardless flying a glider to the limit of visibility. The more i was trying all the features the more it became clear that the only limit regarding functionality was in my mind, wether in hardware nor in software. 
In case you've IT skills in programming you even can design own software modules using lua script. Actually the Taranis X9e is the only series which gave the opportunity of a "100% customizable transmitter" on the market, i'm pretty shure ! 
It has a solid manufacturing quality, precise gimbals and an outstanding price/perfomance ratio.

I'm fully convinced that this series and his successors will write RC-history.

FrSky pilot MIJABA has been lucky and is in the betatesting program with an early access to the Horus X12S and is sharing with us all his experiences and sensations about this new and revolutionary radio that we think will provide people with a lot to talk about. The analyisis will consist of two parts: in the first one we'll talk about it's technical aspects and hardware, and in the second one, about the software and the operating system, along with some live tests and other features you might find interesting.

Without further delay, let’s introduce all the details of this fantastic and innovative radio.

Horus packs a huge amount of changes and new specifications that might really interest any style or skill level pilot. 
That said, let’s list the most important specifications:
Compatibility:

FrSky X series, D series, L series receivers and V8-Ⅱ series receivers (plus other receivers if an external module is used)
Features:

High resolution display (480 x 272 px): full colour screen where you can configure and monitor your saved models.
New gimbals: CNC machined, equipped with 6 bearings to soften the friction, hall sensors and extensible ends. Delightful to the touch.
GPS: Internal GPS module.
Training System: new and revolutionary trainer system without the need to use wires.
6DOF Sensor: 6 axis sensor built-in: gyroscope and accelerometer.
Customization: 3 kinds of finish to choose from between matte, textured and aluminium details on the front panel.

Including：

1 x FrSky Horus X12S Transmitter (Carton and Aluminum Package)
1 x 2000mah battery
1 x Charger
1 x Manual
1 x Back strap
2 x Keys

The transmitter’s carry case, of very robust aspect and crash resistant, houses our treasured transmitter. It can be firmly closed through a couple of dead-bolt locks.

Once you open the case for the first time you’re greeted with the transmitter itself, very well protected, with its protective films on the screen. We can also find the charger with a European plug (selected by the customer on purchase), and a 2-point neck strap, as well as the keys to lock the case. Everything is perfectly fitted in its foam slot. That will avoid any movement inside the case while transporting it.

Once the transmitter is in your hands it seems smaller than it looked in the first pics that appeared on the internet, even though it’s still quite bigger than the Taranis. Anyways, at first sight you can already tell this is not a Taranis, it’s serious business.

The sides of the Horus incorporate a rugged and slip-resistant rubber, right where we place our hands. Furthermore, at the back of the transmitter there’s a metallic support, which is ideal for when you want to put the transmitter on a table. Some small rubbers avoid scratching the transmitter when on the table. The already mentioned metallic stand can also be used to carry the transmitter more comfortably.

The front panel is made of perfectly mechanized aluminium with a matte texture that houses the two huge gimbals, surrounded by multiple controls, detailed below. At the top, a huge full colour screen with a 480 x 272 px resolution. Aside from the screen size and colours, this new screen positioning is an upgrade to the old Taranis, as you don’t have to look down as you had to do in the Taranis in order to see the info on the display.

Right in the middle of the front panel we can find a metallic strap base, where we’ll be able to link our neck strap. If we lift this metal part we can find the power button to turn on and off the transmitter, which was hidden at first sight!

Gimbals

The sticks are perfectly machined with a red finish to them, that goes together with the other details found at the front plate of the Tx. The stick height can be adjusted by simply screwing or unscrewing the sticks themselves. The rest of the assembly is perfectly fitted and adapted to the front panel thanks to the CNC machined parts. Smoothness is omnipresent in this transmitter: the gimbals can’t be an exception. The Horus manages to do it through hall sensors and a total of 6 bearings, to minimize frictions as much as possible. An exquisite feel, as it deserves. 
Controls 
On both sides of the transmitter, at the top and in both sides we can find 4 switches (two in the front panel and two at the top). Six of which are 3 position and the other two are 2 position switches. The one on the right is sprung and goes back to its original state. But there’s even more: at the back, we can find sliders with a very soft and smooth feel to them.

Still in the top part, in the middle and under the display we can find three rotating buttons. In both ends we can find some pots with a very soft touch. The central one contains a surprise, as it’s a 6 position encoder that will allow us to configure, for example, up to 5 different flight modes in one and only button!

Under the rotating buttons we can find four other buttons: two for the vertical trimming and two that can be assigned to do custom functions. The trims are the black ones. Below them are the horizontal trims (also black) and surrounding the power button, two vertical sliders that might remind of a mixing console. And once again when moved all you feel is extreme smoothness.

To finish off, in the lower part of the front plate the Horus X12S has some buttons, to be operated with your thumbs, to navigate through the configuration menus of the transmitter.

As it can be seen at glance, this is a transmitter with so many controls for every taste. It’s impossible to fall short in buttons!

RF module
The transmitter comes with an upgraded internal IXJT RF module. This module is connected to an internal antenna, but if you don’t want to use that one, you can always plug in your own one to be used with the module. To do that you just have to change the model config so that it uses the new one instead of the internal one.

Also, there’s the possibility of connecting any compatible module in the back module bay, so the compatibility with nearly every craft is guaranteed.

Charger and battery
The transmitter includes an internal 2200 mAh NiMH battery, which is a very good capacity for a stock battery. This is a plus; keep in mind that the power consumption of the Horus can be higher than a Taranis’, due to all the new functions, like the full colour screen.

The transmitter incorporates a built-in charging circuit, that regulates and controls the charge of the battery, and turns itself off when the battery is fully charged. That means that if you want to charge it it’s as simple as plugging in the power transformer included in the kit to the transmitter and waiting until the charging indicator LED goes from blinking green (battery level detection and charge beginning) to solid green (charging) to no led (the same LED turns off when the battery is fully charged), and our Horus is already charged and ready to fly!

Additional details
At the back of the transmitter we can find various covers under which different things are hidden. Between them there’s the microSD port with the microSD in it, that has in it the operating system / firmware used by the transmitter. We can also find a USB port, which we can use to transfer files to our Horus without having to remove the microSD card.

In the microSD we can also store MP3 files to be used later, image files to customize certain models, voice warning tracks...

Under the cover right besides it we can find two different connectors, to use the transmitter in trainer mode. But not only that, let’s not forget that according to FrSky’s specs on the Horus, different Horus transmitters can be linked between each other wirelessly to use the trainer mode more comfortably.

And here is the first part, where we have analyzed the components and specs of the FrSky Horus X12S . As you can appreciate, this will be one of the most advanced and complete transmitters available in the near future.

Stay tuned as we will soon release the second analysis where the specific OS (developed specifically for the Horus X12S by FrSky ) will be explained, along with some tips, tricks and curiosities of this awesome transmitter.

I've had my FrSky Taranis X9D plus for almost two years now. And I love it because it's reliable and has all the features I need. I have done a few Mods to it as well. Like the breaking off the antenna accidentally and having to replace it so might as well do the SMA screw on antenna Mod. I am also a thumb flier so I have installed a set of aluminum thumb end sticks. I had heard the Taranis X7 was going to be cross compatible with the Taranis X9D so i was excited to try it.

When I finally picked it up I was surprised how light it was. At first glance you notice the angular design and think how comfortable can that be? Pick it up and I didn't feel those angles very much because I was gripping these nice rubber grips in the back. My model came with both sticks spring centered and you can chose either mode through the menu. It was easy to open the unit with 4 screws and release the spring on the throttle gimbal and tighten the tension on all axis. While it was open I noticed how easy it would be to Mod the antenna as well. 

I put it back together and noticed it runs on OpenTX 2.2, It was easy to connect to Companion 2.2 and has a slot for an SD card. It has six switches and two knobs. Top left is a two way, top right is a momentary, and the four front are three way. The menu system is just like the Taranis X9D, even the pages are the same. The models don't get to display any images but that's not really necessary now is it. Has all the same telemetry screens and up to three timers can be set as well. All the same haptic, sound and voice features as the Taranis X9D plus . Navigation is much easier with the rotary knob and push center button. The center soft switch turns on with a quick press and to turn it off you must hold it down for three seconds. The gimbals feel very much like the X9D plus gimbals and I've heard that FrSky is coming out with an M9 magnetic gimbal upgrade for the Taranis X9D and I feel it will fit the Taranis X7 as well.

Of course it has a module bay for if you want to use a long range system or other RX protocols. Has a two cell balance port and comes with the usual NiMH FrSky battery. I feel this is a great inexpensive transmitter packed full of features, it has great potential for modification and endless customizable options.
