@funKdatFPV3 жыл бұрын
@@muteFPV Just went back through your video and at 7:39 it appears that there is a hump there in the casing. I started this journey of back grips because I just got the Radiomaster t16s max and the grips are HUGE compared to the Jumper and QX7. After measuring things to see why the QX7 fits better in my hands, I noticed the back grips on the RM. I may end up buying another casing for the RM and seeing if I can cut down the outside grip part. Same thing for the QX7, those grips just get in the way when hybrid pinching.
@muteFPV3 жыл бұрын
I have the same "problem" with the TX16S but the solution is much more simple: get a rear shell from a Jumper T16. As far as I know it fits with very minor mods (maybe a little trimming around the battery plug). I will probably do it too but things take forever to arrive.

There are 2 short and 2 long that are flat like an "I" and there are 2 long that are round like an "o". The metal switch knobs can be screwed on the round switches but they will spin around and you will not like it. Better use heatshrink on these two round switches like I did, or maybe a thin silicone tube if you want to add color.

The non-LBT (FCC / International) version is for the rest of the world. Many people in Europe fly FCC / International radios.
