Always nice to see you Bruce. It seems my review was also accurate when I said I would have a hard time trusting the controller after finding various quality issues with the one I got. The worst of which is that the gimbal design literally runs into itself. It's a design fault, not a fault just on mine. Also very happy to hear you're still able to solder such fine wires. 🙏 I also spoke to jumper about the issues and they definitely want to do good. They're not trying to make faulty products.

@@RCModelReviews Pop those gimbal stick limiters off and adjust the screw for the vertical which is all the way out to get maximum range. The gimbal is supposed to be adjustable but with the horizontal limiters off, you get far far more horizontal range compared to the vertical. Also, the horizontal runs into itself internally when you're ~85% deflected towards the outside on both sticks. I made some notable mods to mine in order to remove these limits but there are still so many small quality issues that I just don't feel comfortable relying on the controller in any way. I do love the look, general features and basic design but it's unfortunately just not for me. I'll stick to the Boxer.

All I can see is Johnny 5's face. Thank you for the insight on the pressure condition, I was never aware and should have been. But your _dramatic pause_ superpower remains second to none: "................... _but they haven't"_ was pure gold. Knobs are useful for most of my FC-equipped birds, to adjust PIDs on the fly, or in a new fun way in Arduplane: to adjust my VTx power level (so I don't have to use damned Pit Mode, I can swing the knob to 25mW while waiting for GPS lock). I love the irony that you ride the bleeding tech edge, but fly manually in most cases, and definitely in how you represent your transmitter needs, and glad you found a better match than the pressure-inducing Boxer. (Fellow Zorro owner suggests a nice wrist strap, connected to the neck strap mount, might do you well for those big girls?)

Excellent review, Bruce. I use these modern flying radios (currently a TX16s) for my earthmovers and I do like those control knobs and switches you rightfully point out can be useless for some flyers. It really depends on the earthmover on what input device is ideal for which function. Sometimes I hate a centre detent, other times it's a necessity. I do like the bigger displays as I am programming on the radio and the 4-in-1 module gives me more access to various receivers. But I have to say, it looks like a magnificent radio and those sticks are amazing!

10:13 You've described what I did with my OG Radiomaster TX12. Cheap ass up front, I dropped AG01 Minis in it, and scored a 1 watt Happymodel ELRS module for it. The total bodge-up cost me about CDN$350 - including 4 Samsung 3700 mAh 18650s, an extra battery tray, _and_ shipping [home-rolled my own leather lanyard]. Not cheap, but not too dear. Been my daily driver for a year now. It's gotta die before I need another. This one looks like something to consider as a future acquisition - or maybe by the time I'm in the market it'll be a dilithium-powered V87. . .

Fab review. One of your best for a while. Would have liked to hear you mention the fact that many users might enjoy momentary switches. Or even just one. A non starter for me because of that. Not surprised that you had problems with design and manufacture. I have an original Jumper T16 which loosened its ribbon cables whenever the haptic vibrated. I was not able to trust the radio. If you cant trust the radio then you are unlikely to buy anything from them again. I moved to radiomaster and have not looked back. Thanks for a thorough review (apart from missing out momentary switches :-))

Thank you! I use the super soft RadioMaster springs in basically all my gimbals… I actually really dislike the stock springs, makes the gimbals feel cheap, imprecise, and way too notchy in the centre, to me. I actually swapped the full size gimbal super soft springs into my AG01 minis as well. I really, really like it like that. NOTE: one (or more, depending how you like them set) adjustment screws need to be changed to a couple of millimetres longer, as the spring geometry is softened and lengthened. 👍🏻 Definitely worth the effort! FYI 15-20 grams tension is what I run on the gimbals.

The assumption was probably either users would have good eyesight (hence lack of bundled magnifier sheet 😂) or wouldn't use the screen much, i.e. relying on OSD and voice prompts. Telemetry screen with big numbers isn't so bad, but sunlight legibility is an issue with inverted colour displays.

Awesome review, bruce. You beat me to it in making an unbiased review. And your experience is the same with mine coz i got the 1st version and they just ditch it in a week and got my thing obsolete with the v2 t20s. But then i got it at 100usd, so i got no complaints as everything works perfectly. Just only its using the older tx18 hall gimbal and removable sma antenna instead of folding. But i have the cnc metal handle. There is no qc, and the consumers are the qc. First things first is calibrate your battery coz its way off. I have emailed them regarding the sudden unavailability of t20 and got a reply to get the upgrade. So yah, everone should take apart the back to check if everything is in correct place. Sux

Unfortunately the cheaper radios have poor QC ... One of the downsides of them being cheap. Battery calibration being off is pretty normal, I don't think any of the OTX/ETX radio manufacturers do individual calibration for things like that, it would just have stock config on it.

The T-20s is RDC90 which from my understanding is potentiometer and not hall sensor 7:38 I have a Qx7 and I’m wondering if it’s worth it cuz I fly planes, FPV quads, and eventually FPV planes. Or maybe I should wait for Radiomaster to come out with a better one even 😂 Btw how much of a scratch magnet is that glossy middle part where the knobs are? And how cheap do those knobs and sliders feel? 20:27 if the co-ax is shorter but the end of the antenna the same, is the range shorter? Or is the range just dependent on the mW? Can’t wait for part 3!!

Interesting you mentioned the latching switches on top don't latch properly, that was thr only real QC issue with mine... they do latch, just are harder to press than I would like. The onboard XTSD SPI storage chip should be a lot more reliable than a microSD due to no connector issues and integrated wear leveling. The six press buttons are like the TPros, meaning you can group and do all sorts of fancy stuff with them... Turn them into two 3pos swirches, three 2pos switches, etc. I use pots on all my radios for brightness and volume control, sliders sometimes for OSD profile selection. For the price, defintely a great radio, and yes, it feels great when using it.

I've been trying to use mine for the past 24 hours with two different sets of brand new 21700 batts with no luck. First thing is that the onboard charging won't work with most of the newer charging outlets/blocks/rates. Plugging it into an ancient USB hub for several hours...it finally would start up but instantly say it had low battery and shut off. My next step is to try a separate 21700 battery charger I just ordered to hopefully get them charged but this is unacceptable in a radio not to be able to plug it in and charge it without removing the batteries... Curious if this is just my radio or everyones experience as I have seen folks complain about the low rate charging they put in the unit.

While you're correct it has 32 mixer lines, ELRS tops out at 16 channels. I'll have to ask what the 20 actually refers to, as not counting the function switches, counted around 24 inputs, more if using trims as inputs, etc. I guess they could have just been counting number of switches (even the 5way hats), gimbals knobs, etc.

The dials are sometimes used for configuring flap -> elevator. You set a switch to extend the flaps and add the dial's value to the elevator. Then when you throw the switch the flaps drop and the value from the dial is added (or subtracted). After a few tries with different dial settings you now know how much elevator to add when flaps are deployed, and can make that value permanent. *Edit:* Spelling.

He mentions that the radio manufacturers are producing these smaller radios because they are concerned with stagnant sales. The real problem for Jumper and RadioMaster is that they simply don't innovate at all. All the features and functionality are based on open source projects that don't require updating your radio. At least FrSky and Spektrum create products with truly new features. Whether those brands appeal to you is a separate question, but at least they innovate. RadioMaster and Jumper are now pushing ELRS since it fills in for their lack of innovation, and for line-of-sight PWM applications it's not ready for prime time. Can you imagine if a company like Spektrum were to release a new long range protocol that required LOS users to map around channel 5? I'm guessing it would be laughed out of the market. RadioMaster and Jumper are just packaging the work of several open source projects without attempting any real system-level improvements. ELRS could be the foundation for this, but it needs to improved to be a little more professional. First, they need to separate the arming feature (AUX1) from the traditional channels. It *is* separate in the actual data packet format and there's no reason to have it be considered as a traditional channel in the transmitters or receivers. It's an awkward artifact of the quad-centric beginnings of the ELRS project. Then they should create a new bidirectional digital protocol (or update an existing one) between receivers and ESCs. This would mean selling ESCs, but there's no other way to modernize the completely inadequate PWM ESC control signal. ESCs can easily provide a wealth of telemetry data and have several control parameters that could be set during flight, but there's no standard way to do this even though it's not technically difficult. Spektrum now has a wide variety of receivers and ESCs that offer these features. It's quite cool, and it's possible primarily because they market all of the products involved. RadioMaster and/or Jumper could work to integrate some of the open source projects into a more cohesive and professional system, but I think it will mean selling more than just transmitters and receivers. Or they can continue to offer new sizes of transmitters and different switch/gimbal colors, which currently seems to be the extent of their innovation.

Looked like a great radio aside from the QC issues. I purchased mine as suggested from local RC shop and it has failed and broke twice in the last 4 weeks. First it fried the power board and the local shop refused to replace it and insisted that I install a new board sent from Jumper. I complied and it worked for another two weeks and now today it won't turn on, take a charge or attach to computer via USB. I'm not sure what they will do now but I'm convinced these guys make total junk and this radio should definitely not be recommended in my opinion. I've been flying for 15 years and never had a radio go out (maybe just lucky?) but this one breaks twice in a month and it's brand new!! This goes beyond poor QC!! Shame because I love the size and features!!

I had a Jumper T16 that developed the cable issue. Why roll the dice on Jumper when RadioMaster is reliable and well designed? Plus the trims and screen on the T20 are a non-starter for me anyway. The Boxer is a better choice to me in that size.

Who cares what gimbals are on there. I guess you never flew Kraft radios back in the 70's as I didn't even wear them out. You guys are spoiled with non needed stuff

@@Mikeylikesit1968 Im simply responding out of experience. I had to replace the gimbals in my very first radio due to the throttle pot wearing out. There are little brushes in there that rub on a sensor and they do go bad vs hall sensor with no contact. Just the sensor detecting the magnet with extreme accuracy.

I'm still using an old Taranis QX7, works fine with EdgeTX, an ELRS module, 4in1 module, inverter mod and rechargeable 18650s. However if these multiprotocol radios had been around back then, I'd never have bought the QX7. I do get the feeling from reviews though, that of Radiomaster and Jumper, maybe Radiomaster has the better QC. A friend just bought a TX12, and it really is excellent. Watching this review though - and I admit I skipped some bits - didn't see a lite or JR module bay. Has it got one?

@RCModelReviews Жыл бұрын
Yes, Radiomaster's QC and design is generally better than Jumper. It's like Jumper has a good idea, gets it to market as fast as it can (with bugs) then Radiomaster brings out the same thing but at a higher quality level. There's a nano-module addon but no standard JR bay.

There’s a port where you can attach the (flat) Jumper micro 4in1. There is an adapter for other newer nano JR modules and another adapter beyond that if you have the normal sized module.

You can fit a CRSF nano-module using the optional adaptor. However, I see that there is a 915MHz version of this radio using ELRS and that would be a really viable alternative.

Put the socket backwards and swap the connector wires
@RCModelReviews
@RCModelReviews Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately the socket also has a retaining metal piece also soldered to the PCB that is supposed to stop it from ripping off the board and that can't be moved. Without it then there's the risk that the traces will rip when rotated 180 degrees. It would be much safer just to solder the wires directly to the traces if needs be.

@RCModelReviews I ordered a 915 rdc variation. 1w and good gimbals, 62 t4-t5 spine injury and a jumper radioking with rdc gimbals is my favorite even with .5 to 1 jitter. The Echine tx16s has zero jitter but the have the spring problem... Can't take it with you.
