TBS Tango 2 - The 500mW Mod Tutorial

9,431 Views · Posted 4 years ago

It's here! Team Blacksheep just released one of their best products yet: The Tango2 Remote!
It is an all-in-one solution remote&crossfire link, running on OpenTX(freedom tx right now but would be merged into OpenTX soon).
The crossfire RF inside the remote has 250mW output power from the factory but I managed to modify it so that it can output 500mW.
