Mode 1 is easier for me too, as that was what I was taught with here in Australia, after being out of the game for a few years I bought a mode 2 radio, and after trying it out for a few months, I converted it over to mode 1 and my flying improved almost immediately.

Not sure which version is the right for me to replace a QX7. I have several quads with Frsky d8 and d16. Maybe the 4in1? Then if I get a quad with ELRS I just get the ELRS module. But I’m worried if the radio last with those small batteries that the Zorro have.
@AndyRCchannel2 жыл бұрын
Totally different feel to the q7. The batteries are the weak point. Depends how long you fly for. If you are doing 40 min long range lion flights it could be a problem
@davidreynolds85512 жыл бұрын
The batteries aren’t going to be a major problem for most people, unless they’re doing hours of flying each day, besides, ost people will be buying spares anyway, plus the ability to quickly charge them will mean that they can give them a quick charge after a few packs. I’m waiting on mine to arrive and I’ve got 4 batteries also coming, looking forward to trying it out and binding it to a few of my quads. Most of mine are spektrum and unfortunately I ordered the cc2500 version, but I’ll get a multi protocol module for the back, plus a crossfire module as well. I do also have a couple of frsky quads as well and usually use my tx16s for them, but I find that I’d love the smaller size of this radio as I often feel like it is too big in the hand and uncomfortable getting to some of the switches, this one looks like it will be much easier for my liking, but maybe that’s just me. Nice review Andy, I’m sure that once you get used to it you’ll probably find that you’ll love the portability of your new radio.

@@AndyRCchannel , I’m hoping that on the micro version of crossfire there’s a dynamic setting so that It can adjust according to needs, so that it won’t be running on full power all the time. I haven’t looked at those micro modules as yet, but I’m assuming that they are capable of modulating the power. Plus I’ll be putting a 2s battery underneath for extra power. Hope the weather gets warmer for you in the meantime and thanks for the reply, have a good day Andy.

I have a little paradox here between setting up the TX16s and/or the Zorro to the Liftoff Simulator. Okay to start out both do link up no problem to Liftoff. However; anyone assign functions on both controllers like, flight modes, arm/disarm for example and get them to work in Liftoff as well? The RadioMaster Zorro totally works in this area. After spending seriously over 8 to 10 hours watching KZfaq video's and trying all sorts of different ideas I can assign the functions on my RadioMaster TX16s, but non of them work on the Liftoff simulator whatsoever! Has anyone else run into this issue and solved it? Any help here in a resolution would be very grateful.

Is this radio bigger then the TBS tango 2?

@@AndyRCchannel you had found out a lot of flaws other reviews had not recogniced like the grips coming loose and the tension only working in the bottom part, no one had mentioned before cause I had watched 15 reviews of the 24 in total. Has paid off to wait for the weather and go flying in the field. Really well explained and the feeling in the field which is a different story than just talkin on the bench. I also guess the whole LiPo extender battery can not really be good considering that the other batteries are Li Ion cells cause they usually get charged differently. That is the biggest concern for me not to buy one cause I would have purchased one instantly due to the fact that I have to pay 140$ or 60$ more for a transmitter and 3 receivers where the usual upgrade kits or JR TX modules with 3 receivers are sold for about 100$. And then the radio becomes cheap cause instead of buying modules starter kit for 100$ you can get a whole radio for just 40$ more which is a bargain at least for me except the whole battery struggles which I had already on the T-lite with just 1 cell only bay for 18650. hopefully the views go up again after the first wave of 22 reviews on day 1 last sunday.
