In this video we take a first look at the new Crossfire Sixty9 from Team BlackSheep. This product may seem a bit odd, as at first glance it appears to be something more suited to quads. So why did I buy one? All will be revealed. The Sixty9 is a merging of the Crossfire Nano Rx and the Unify Pro VTx. Both products are seen in high regard, so this could be a great solution for smaller plane builds.

![Updating the ETHOS firmware
[NOTE] There is a more recent video on how to update ETHOS here: https://youtu.be/5Y351hjF5ZA
In this first video of the Exploring ETHOS series, we look at how to update the firmware on your FrSky Tandem transmitter. This is a fairly simple process, if a little on the manual side. But theres nothing really too daunting. Maybe in the future well see a simpler process using a desktop companion. But until then, this is the update process.
If you struggle with computers, I’ve recorded a longer, more in-depth video that may help you with this process. Please feel free to watch that video here https://youtu.be/1RfEdgRIwcQ
** Update **
The naming of the SD card and FLASH drive contents is changing. From version 1.0.11 onwards, if you are using a Tandem transmitter (currently X20 and X20S) you should download the TANDEM_FLASH and TANDEM_SD files.
Between 1.0.6 and 1.0.10 they had been named X20_SD and X20_FLASH, which caused confusion. People thought it was just for that transmitter, and not for the X20S also.
