It definitely was so awesome 👏

Every last penny man lmao

Totally worth it!!! Comedy Au 🤣😂

Absolutly hilarious ! 😂😂😂

Deffo worth it 🔥

Definitely 😂

double dangerous

i always use a 3pos with prearm. that way you cant accidentally arm it, you have to switch it to middle first, wait, and then arm.

I have several times throttled up too fast (aka shit my pants and tried to bail out) and accidentally flipped the switch above from middle to top, and then panic and flip it all the way down, totally missing the middle position, and then birdie go bye bye LOL. I have changed the functionality of said switch to have no negative effects should I accidentally flick it, meaning I set arm at top, disarm at bottom, and something arbitrary like "LED's off" in the middle - but that's just my preference - peace bro

I use: Up - disarmed, Middle - armed with angle mode, down - Armed with acro mode and air mode. That way, if I need angle mode for an emergency, I can. It's saved me a few times.

@@sunsetpark_fpv top disarm, middle arm, bottom disarm.

Maybe switch them in the radio itself (tell the radio (under hardware ?!) it's a six position "switch") idk if that's possible ?! 😅

but be aware that on such slider trim switches you know its position and how to push it how much. These joystick dials look nice but in the air it becomes more difficult. I am talking from not owning this unit but my experience with such integrated joysticks with additional push button in the center cause I had used such for controling a camera and that was not as nice as with any slider kind controls. But I agree that it looks nice, feels nice in the beginning but in case of a trouble situation a dedicated might show its advantages cause it feels more intuitive to feel where the slider sits now and how much I had pushed that forward instead of counting short clicks like pressing a button. But counting such clicks needs a sound which will require a sdcard to put some sounds on it. You need to have it in your hand and play around with them in the air to be able to judge.

The only thing that kills me is the 2 momentary switches. Who uses momentary switches with drones except maybe beeper. Or rth maybe. I can live with everything else Radiomaster zorro seems the better upgrade. Just add battery pack.. though it's ugly lol

That's saying a lot! Because it's not like the T-Lite isn't full of it's own issues! Sure is! :(

The t.lite is the perfect radio for me. If they added internal elrs i d be the last radio i buy.

Exactly and sadly it looks like the T-lite has been discontinued. After a couple mods like cutting the switches down, adding a lanyard strap and replacing the stiff gimbal wire this thing is a perfect radio for me, hopefully the Radiomaster Zorro is a good replacment when I need one although I think I'll try and make an ELRS handset with a T-lite case if mine dies.

@@thirtythreeeyes8624 Do you mean the stiff gimbal springs? If so what did you replace them with? Thank you

That would be so amazing. I love the controller that comes with the Dji fpv drone. And plus range would be really good. Hopefully in the future there will be a way to do it. The functionality is there. It would be so easy for Dji to connect that controller to their air unit.

and that b-roll! joshua is really stepping up his game

Awesome 😮

@@CgitEinsteins you’re welcome

WTF how have I never seen this before.

I can't figure out how this actually works. The default setting of 2pos works as I describe in the video. You can change the switches from 2pos to Toggle and then they just seem to stop working. If you actually know how this works please email me joshuabardwell@gmail.com and explain it I would very much appreciate it. EDIT: ok I figured out the grouping setting to let you turn it into individual 2pos switches, but the "toggle" setting still seems to do nothing.

@@JoshuaBardwell i Will e-mail you a picture of my setup

That would just be awesome. Take my. Money! But even if they only release 2.5 ELRS i am in... Duel band 2.4 and 900mHz would be a dream!

+1. Jumper T12 (even non-pro) still the best radio feature-wise. 6 nice switches, optimal size, standard module bay, decent gimbals. And it was under $80 with the external, separately reusable, multiprotocol module!

Personally I always want disarming to be as fast as possible and with as few conditions as possible.

I don’t think delay will accomplish what we want here. We want to hold the button for 1 second to arm so if the button is bumped it won’t arm. The following will require the momentary be held for 1 second to arm. It will disarm instantly with a quick press, which I prefer as Bardwell does also. I used SJ in the example since that’s what my TX16S has, but any momentary can be used to match what the radio has. L01/sticky/L02/SJ down L02/Edge/SJ down/ 1.0 Then use L01 in the mixer (channel 5 if ELRS) to arm 😁

@@ooOoo..... I already tested my approach and it works as described. A momentary bump will not arm it. It requires a long press to arm, and a long press to disarm. I can't imagine why anyone would then want a momentary bump to cause an instant drop from the sky but if your approach does that, then great. edit: I tested your lines both with SJ down and it didn't work. Had to change the Edge line to SJ up (the other down) and then it worked.

@@daemn42 I tested your method and you’re right, it works as you intended it to. I tested mine and it also works as I said, and I use it all the time to fly with, so maybe you have something else messed up? I like the instant disarm so when I crash into a tree or bush my motors aren’t trying to run while I’m waiting for it to disarm. I have 5 amp ESC’s and it wouldn’t take long to fry one. Some people may have other reason, like for safety or whatever. It’s not as easy to accidentally hit a switch when flying and my hands are in a fixed position on the radio as compared to before a flight as I’m fumbling around with getting everything ready. As long as what we each do works for us that’s all that matters 😁

@@ooOoo..... I misinterpreted where you were putting the 1.0. With 1.0 in the start edge time, it works with SJ down in both places. But it only arms when you release the button after 1 sec. There's no feedback to let you know you've waited long enough. Also if while armed, you hold the button down for more than a second it will disarm immediately as intended, and then rearm as soon as you release which is a bit quirky. The alternate approach I found is to set the edge time back to 0.0, set it to SJ up (true edge detect seems to be reversed from what seems logical) and then add a 1.0 sec delay to L01. Now it will arm after holding the button down > 1 sec, stays armed on release, and disarms instantly on next press no matter short or long. L01 Stky L02 SJ down delay 1.0 L02 Edge SJ up [0.0:--]

Yup! Jumper can't seem to get it all right! Time and time again. They need to send out beta test radio's that the reviewers can help them with to get it all just right! Their design team at Jumper, is not good!!!

Watching the teardown video of it, installing a rocker/toggle switch certainly looks possible, but will have to stick out a bit so a 3D print is needed. I'm thinking of getting one and I'm not too bad at designing such printed things.

@@licensetodrive9930 I think it's a must-do. Good luck. I'm sure you'll figure it out. 😎👍

Here's an ever more clever use if you want more than 2 positions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcdkZt1nvdXMh2g.html&ab_channel=JoshuaBardwell

Don't most vapes use 18650?

That's great...but I've found I better not Pre-Order FPV gear, because until the reviewers get their hands on it, fly with, do a deep dive on it, you never know if it's gonna be good or not. Just look at Radiomaster's last game style radio - Didn't get good reviews at all. Not a great seller and too many complaints about this and that. Keeping my fingers cross for you! I've found patience is much less of a gamble... Because, as it stands it's like you went to the Casino and placed a bet on Black or Red. 50 / 50 chance of it not coming up your color.... ;)

That was the whole joke of the intro animation!
