Olly P Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Fantastic value then, at that price, with that capability it would be cheaper to buy 2 and a buddy lead than many competitors 8channel sets, without telemetry. If this had been available when I bought my 8FG I would have probably bought 2 of these - especially with the package deal on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chambers Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I know FrSky would like to have the different print publications to review it. One of my club mates who is a monthly columnist in the other big UK RC flying publication has expressed a interest in reviewing one. So if the Ashby's would like one for review, I can certainly get hold of one for them if they want to. Let me know Mr G & D Ashby if your interested.

chris basson Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 This Looks Very Tasty!From what I can gather, it'll need the addition of a module to talk to either Futaba or Spektrum recievers adding another ?100 or so but it still looks like a lot of Tx for the money!Only hope the hardware quality is right, support should be spot on with T9 on the case...Can't Wait to see one in the Flesh! Anyone heard a release date yet?CBEdited By chris basson on 01/05/2013 12:30:38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncebounce crunch Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 This throws a real hand grenade into the market. I would also like to see a review in the RCM&E as I think it would start a price move by the entrenched brands on the market. competition is getting very serious in this part of our hobby now ,and we are all going to benefit. I never dreamed of affording this type of radio 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Chris - I believe it is DSM2/DSMX compatable without a module or you can add a FASST module... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnor Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 As to an appearance date Rich at T9 is expecting them middle of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Muir Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Olly, it's only compatible with FRSky's own protocol receivers with its internal module. You have to add a module to get DSM2/DSMX or Futaba compatability, at which point you can switch between internal and external modules or, indeed, use both at the same time if you want.
