Veikko Taranis and it's telemetry cannot transfer APM MAVlink data as there is their own protocol running between Tx and Rx modules. Also telemetry speed is only 9600 which is not enough for MAVLink data. All is not lost yet.. One reason we made jD-IOBoard was to handle this type situations. Now there is rather well working firmware for it that can read normal MAVLink data and transfer that to FrSky protocol. Take a look at Adding more features to IOBoard post.
With Taranis radio datastream works well already.
Same as everyone here, since I use/sell the FRSky products I did not had any issues. No DOA, no RMA, FRSKY are great. I like the features and price. The only thing left to know is how solid they feel in hands.
I will CARRY them as well for Canadians! :) Price will be very close to US price as usual...

I will buy one when my rc system is wasted.
I will be buying one. It is everything the 9XR should have been and a bit more including the acknowledgement of the firmare used.
I can't wait to get one - the extra 3 postion switches will be really handy.
Argh, and I just bought a T9X without module and FrSky Tx module lol plus LCD backlight kit, which is as close to this as you could get before... With plans to swap the gimbals for the Aurora9 4ball bearing ones for sale loose.
Wonder if they will be bringing out a new X series small Rx as well later on, the X8 looks way too big to me to use on any of my stuff.
Looks great.
I had heard this was coming was hoping FRSky would release it soon for my PX4's which need the PPM-SUM receivers they make.
Will be good to see how it stacks up against the Turnigy 9XR price and performance.
