And for anyone wondering, yes I paid out-of-pocket for this radio and no, it was NOT sent to me. So like everything I do it’s my opinion and will always be truthful!

Great Review Jeff! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts :)

Great in depth review......better than the rest by far!

really liked the video, keep up the good work, looking forward to the flight test on the new radio!

Great video and filled with lots of info as always!

Congratulations again Jeff and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your entire Family!

I’ve had mine for about three weeks and love it. I have experienced the well known corrupted model after waking from sleep mode so no longer use sleep mode. Spektrum is aware and working on a fix. Great radio and way better than my old iX12.

Nice review man, thank you!

Thank you, Jeff! Just getting in to this after a blessed career in military and civilian aviation. And yes, I know it’s completely different flying. Maybe harder than landing on a ship even from what I’ve gleaned thus far 😂 After dozens of hours of research I was torn between the NX 10 and this iX14 I was hearing so much about. I really liked the fact that the gimbals were moved outward given I do not have large hands. Greatly appreciate your expertise! Sold

I can't even fly a heli but I want one ; )

Jees! Those things take an age to boot up! My 16IZ is so fast I could have flown half a pack before those are ready to fly 😂 they do look like nice radios to be honest 👍

Nice radio!

I’m excited for you and the new IX-14! I just got mine in and was hoping you’d get yours pretty soon so I could see the tricks of how to use it! 😉 It’s quite an upgrade from my DX -8. It does feel great in the hands. I want to get the orange grips when they’re available too. I have to get caught up on your videos too. I’ve been covered up wrapping up my Mom’s house. Plus we had that major freeze last week . It got down to 8 with a windchill of -3. 🥶

I just purchased the IX14 after 5yrs with my trusted DX8 G2 . It's time. I found it at A main hobbies , it's out of stock at Horizon already.

Jeff , Why are you doing this to me ;) , now I miss my iX12 and now I want the iX14 :P , nice vid

Always appreciate the fantastic, in-depth reviews! I have a NX10SE, but am really intrigued by the upgraded programming experience that the iX14 provides. Since I have yet to get my hands on an iX14, I was hoping to get your thoughts on the gimbals as they compare to the machined aluminum gimbals on the NX10SE. I believe they're both Hall Effect so I recognize this is more of personal preference, but was curious to hear your take on how they might compare, and if there are significant advantages of one over the other? I will say, I'm a pinch-hybrid flyer as well, so really like the shifted stick position with the iX14!

I fly exactly the same...index on top and thumb on the front side

Well this makes me want to fly again.

Just posing a question better. Would programming the brain 2 be accomplished via Bluetooth or the srxl2 integration?

I have the NX10 and currently find no real reason to update to iX14. Of course the iX14 is very appealing with the nice graphical user interface. But for configuring or flying, there is no difference between at all.

I'm bummed they cost so much. Just now almost mastering my NX-8, and now see touch screen? COOL! But still, that's a serious chunk of change for a radio. I see some of these newer, smaller, kinda game controller looking radios, and think that's kinda what I'll wait for. In hopes Spektrum will come out with something like that soon. The 'younger generation' and all the video games they play will make our older guy's big fat radios obsolete soon enough.

I've had mine for about a week, and mine is awfully slow, and it glitches after I updated the firmware,. I'm going to try and reset it, then redo the firmware update before I contact Horizion and swap it out.

Im still trying to get my telemetry to work with srxl 2 and brain, so I just bought this radio to replace my dx9. the big touch screen looks sweet. I have 2 kraken 700 both with hobbywing esc and brain2 they both do the same thing. They provide receiver volts and rpm but no esc data such as main batt volt amps etc 😕

I sold MY IX12, because the lag of the table was horrible, simply didn´t work proberly.. please try to installed needed apps. and connect to wifi, and make a few Model profile, and see if there is enougth memory in the unit..

Hi Jeff, Another learning question for me please. You made a comment below "everything I own, is flying on spektrum receivers so that’s what I need it to bind to". I just bought the spektrum IX14. My question is do you use the same spektrum receiver in all your helis or a different spektrum receiver for each one? Also What is the most spektrum receiver you use?

Do you ever set up your helis directly from the ix14? If so, is it similar to the app on android phone?

Hi westhobbies. Just wanted to ask. Picked up a brand new Fusion 270 BNF. Where could i get spare parts? Im located in Asia and Blade/HH is not able ship Fusion 270 parts outside of Canada and US. Do you have any recomendation of other websites that could ship 270 parts worldwide? Thanks. Been watching ur vids alot recently. Info-packed and straight to the point. Keep up the heli content. Really loving it🫶🏻

beautiful radio. but the price is a no. congrats tho

I'm on the fence between the nx10se or ix14

This ix 14 vs vbar radio??

Radio Time on a full charge ?? Average please !! LOL

I have a few friends that have these and regret not going open source edgetx. I feel this radio is way overpriced for what you get. No offense if you like it though

Those sliders do not feel great. They are horrible and it's imposible to be precise with them.

Well overpriced and not as good in technical aspects like open forum radio like Taranis Jumper or Blacksheep or Radiomaster are.

Hi Jeff happy new year thanks to you I ordered my ix14 if anybody wants a coupon code for horizon hobby I think it expires tonight to get 10% off the price it’s HHTEAM136
