Whoooah. Exciting developments are happening.

FrSky is working on a new transmitter which is going to be absolutely
awesome. (It will be able to run Open9x firmware. FrSky is working
closely with the community to ensure that)

I just found a awesome nugget about their new telemetry protocol.
SmartPort is a full duplex serial protocol and you can put in user input

I'm really excited about that stuff already. But I had no idea how great
