In this Video i want to show you how to use the FrSky R9M ( https://www.banggood.com/FrSky-R9M-900MHz-Long-Range-Transmitter-Module-With-R9-MM-416CH-Telemetry-Receiver-for-RC-Drone-p-1354233.html?p=LM11044296190201604E ) Redundancy Function with the R9 Mini Receiver bound to the 900MHz R9M external Module and the XM+ bound to the interal 2.4GHz Module to get the benefits of both systems.
To use the redundancy function, you need a R9 Mini ( https://www.banggood.com/FrSky-R9-Mini-416CH-900MHz-Long-RangeTelemetry-Receiver-with-Redundancy-Function-S_Port-Enabled-p-1290355.html?p=LM11044296190201604E ) or a R9 Slim Receiver ( https://www.banggood.com/Frsky-R9-Slim-616CH-Telemetry-Mini-Receiver-Optimized-900MHz-Long-Range-with-2-Detachable-Antennas-p-1297084.html?p=LM11044296190201604E ).
Of course you could also use two R9 Receivers to use the redundancy function. Then you only need the external module and you can bind both Receivers to your R9M.
At next I will test the redundancy function on a flight with my quad.

Thanks for sharing ;p
An interesting way around the R9 issues for now, I would never have considered that.
If you do not use telemetry, is there any point of using flex firmware? You can just run EU Firmware on R9M with 200mW, which will get you very far away…?
R9m is more issue. I don’t know when frsky will fix it
Very cool presentation
