			The receiver with telemetry is probably over $100 but, you can probably still use the regular 2.4 dsm receivers with it. I bought some of the $8 ar6110e clone receivers from hobby king and they seem to work fine.

			Wow, and 50 model memory. Does that mean you can switch between models on the go? Or do you have to bind to each one after switching?

			Once a rec. is bound to the transmitter, you just switch to it and away you go.

			Pretty excited about the release of this radio.  Shame it got pushed back a bit but I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

			Let's start this off with a disclaimer.  I used to be a Horizon Hobby employee but no longer work there.  This impression is purely my opinions and I have not received any compensation for writing this. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	So I've been able to fiddle around with a pre-production sample of the radio for a few days now and I can say that I'm really looking forward to getting one of these for myself. I definitely have a better understanding of programming than the average hobbyist but I think the menus and setup are all very intuitive to understand, find, and adjust. The general feel and weight of the radio is quite robust. Using the shoulder straps are a definite must with the way the sticks are situated. The switches on the modules are really nice quality and are really easy to operate by feel. This attributes to the price of the modules I'm sure. The modules also independently swivel back and forward for placement preference. I'm looking forward to receiving my Vario 850d soon to do some further testing with the radio. I plan to setup two "Flight" Modes one for drive and the other for bucket and arm movements so I can quickly flip between the two modes during operation. One thing I had overlooked on the radio specs were the ability to expand to a total of 18 channels!! I am not sure what's needed hardware-wise to achieve this but you'd need the extra rx hookups of course. More to come when I can get my hands on it again with my excavator!  |
