Maybe radiomaster will make a surface radio, please

[@ChrisCroft77]

I so want a eLRS surface (pistol) transmitter from Radiomaster.

[@MCsCreations]

Rc cars/boats radio with ELRS and EdgeTx? Yes, please! 😬

[@ChrisCroft77]

@@MCsCreations Yes I so want. Just take my money now RadioMaster

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent review, Ian! Thanks! 😃 Radiomaster is just killing it! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@wearemany73]

It used to be (80’s) that FM was for model aircraft (35mhz/40mhz) and RC surface craft were AM (27mhz) but then (90s/00’s/10’s) spread spectrum frequency hopping stuff was EVERYWHERE. Now it’s pretty much whatever you want to use and personally I love the idea of the RadioMaster T-16s mk3 with a 4in1 module. The ELRS receivers are now the last piece in the complete puzzle. I’m putting my Futaba out to pasture and I’m buying something much cheaper and more functional. 😎 Great video as always. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (Do you have any affiliated links Ian?) Edit: My bad Ian, I hadn’t yet got to the 12:30 part of the video on “affiliate links” 😄🤷🏼‍♂️

[@SomeTechGuy666]

Excellent review.

[@danielmccullock1249]

Thanks for the review Ian, excellent work as always. I can see myself using the A version on those little models where it needs to slide into the fuse but I can also see myself using the C version for my spec wings where I can attach it to a side wall in the component bay.

[@tungym]

Thanks for the review. Matek ELRS 3 R24-P6 is still my favorite, as it has main battery voltage (up to 36V) telemetry

[@FATSNAIL-FPV]

Stopped flying my FMS superEZ v4 and still have some motorised little gliders that need to be built. These RX'S might get me to go back flying fixed wings again. Several frsky RX's on the shelf that have good reception (1.6km on an lr4 with xm+ / R-XSR no problem) but my trust in them went away after switching to ELRS on my quads. After that maybe finally an fpv wing. Great initiative Radiomaster! Thanks for the vid! Looking forward for a fixed wing flight test!

[@typxxilps]

board looks pretty nice soldered and clean, quite precise alignment compared to all the others which ship any kind of alignment and soldering quality

[@michalp.4975]

I am happy that there is more competition around but for now I'll stick to my Matek R24-P6 as it has more PWM outputs and wider Voltage range.

[@smashimone]

Any news of fixed wing versions with stabilization mode?

[@REDhlg]

Is there a pull request for getting that 6th channel working? Just curious what the timeline is for more channels?

[@3dflyer347]

re: if you use elrs v3.0 you can have 5 proportional outputs, as opposed to 4 proportional outputs and 1 switch. I have been trying to get the 5 proportional outputs, without success. Advice would be much appreciated.

[@lasersbee]

The only thing different that I can see between the A an C versions is the Horizontal or Vertical output pins... making one receiver slightly shorter than the other.

[@jimmytheriot8978]

How do you bind these, I can bind to all my other elrs receivers but I'm having problems binding this one

[@Revelation1177]

Any links to a good transmitter to use this reciver with an rc car?

[@eeee8677]

is there a SAFE / AS3X equivalent for this??

[@ClubbyGT]

👍👌

[@alexherrera3918]

I do not fly fpv, i fly small foam planes on line of sight at park or club. why should i switch to ELRS? What i am loosing for not using ELRS? thanks

[@199wildman]

May be a dumb question, but can you use the C model in an aircraft, or is it strictly for surface use only? I ordered one on Amazon did not realize they were two different models.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Yes mate, They are exactly the same internally. The difference between models is only the position of the pins and antenna.

[@martr]

Some great info. It would have been helpful to clarify what the Batt input is for. Does this actually provide VBAT telemetry back to the TX? This area of the review was a little confused, I think you said the Batt input was a "Batt Button". The ability to send back VBAT can be an important feature for LOS fixed wing aircraft, and I note that a competitor product to this (this HappyModel EPW5) does *not* provide VBAT telemetry, so this would have been a good point of contrast to make for the Radiomaster (if indeed it does provide VBAT telemetry). Keep up the great work.

[@MadRC]

I will confirm this the weekend.

[@martr]

@@MadRC Thank you.

[@laing0ian]

Happymodel also have the epw6 with a extra PWM channel, they look very similar to these radio master recievers ..

[@martr]

@@laing0ian I think the Happymodel EPW6 is a 900Mhz only RX though.

[@smiffy788]

I hope they are better than the 2.4 versions.

[@Estuardo305]

if you have an rc plane that needs 5 or more channels, do you join/stack these together? how do you get more than 5 channels on Elrs?

[@MadRC]

You can now. Please see the latest update.

[@Estuardo305]

@Mads Tech are you referring to the latest update notes of ELRS in which they imply that new >6ch receivers are now possible? "Receivers with more PWM outputs - working with manufacturers currently to make these, 6ch, 8ch and 10ch at least in pre-production." or were you referring to... Can you join/stack 2 recievers at the current moment. thanks

[@typxxilps]

@Mads Tech OFF TOPIC but I bet you will love this topic. It is a special kind of drone evolution I have not seen before combining the drone and the fixed wing somehow. It will make you wonder but it seem to work and is usually a content thay you might love at least to watch or to create something because quite unique. Put this in the yt searchbar I3D559DNa04 to watch the idea. I bet you will like at least the video and build , maybe even more.

[@Top-Jimmy]

You mean a VTOL? - Been around since the Dinosaurs.

[@dennismatovich8411]

Would this help underwater rc link?

[@MadRC]

Not really. Still 2.4ghz.

[@ansariflightplan5814]

It can detect batt volt?

[@MadRC]

Sadly no

[@Bzl_777]

Would it be safe to use this on Nitro planes ??

[@Top-Jimmy]

Yes.

[@Sam-nl8bq]

Hello 🤗👋👋, I am Sam. If you have some time, I want to discuss with you about the business.

[@aviphysics]

Disappointed that they didn't include a connection for full voltage battery telemetry. Without that, it doesn't seem like much advantage over the HM PWM Rx.

[@aviphysics]

Or is that pad next to "6" for voltage?

[@cedricgrandseigne]

I don't agree with your statement that there is no reason not to go with ELRS: there is at least one, it is not legal, at least in the EU, as it is not LBT. If you use it in competitions, you are doomed to be disqualified. If you have an accident, insurance won't cover you. I hope this problem will be tackled soon.

[@MadRC]

ELRS 3.0 has LBT now ;)

[@cedricgrandseigne]

@@MadRC great news thanks!
