Just want to say that I appreciate this video greatly. Well presented and perfectly explicit as to the differences through the line. Ive been flying freestyle quads (and ap drones) for about 5 years now and I jumped into Spektrum only because the first custom quad I purchased came with one. (Ebay) Skip ahead to 2019 and Spektrum has done NOTHING for the custom race/freestyle industry. I mean nothing. No innovations, no advancements, nothing. The best receivers you can get now are from 3rd party manufacturers for the most part. I am pretty brand loyal but after seeing how much you can do to customize your experience, change software, update with mods and modules, its just a no brainer anymore. FrSky is king in this hobby now and I am for one glad to have made the switch. I decided to do it right too, and went straight to the x9d SE as it seemed close to my dx8 in look and feel. I am so HAPPY I did. This controller is amazing! And thats not hype, its fact. The gimbals are amazing. The battery lasts forever. The interface is EASY to understand and navigate. Cant wait to spend another 5 years with this in my hands! Thanks bud!

To anyone wondering which one to get? try them on first! if possible... I had the chance to try both the X9DS and the QX7S (Size and Ergonomics wise) and damn!! the difference between the 2 is drastic... The X9DS is a behemoth and the weight difference is massive, At least for my personal taste the QX7S is the size and weight comfortable to me. Look for your local flying arenas and try to test drive both before buying!!

Hi Mark, I've had the QX7 for quite a while - I've upgraded the battery, installed M7's & have Lau script, so for me its perfect now. I was wondering if the Qx7s shell is completely identical as I'd like the blue case and the Qx7 is only available in white & black as a spare.

They are not identical, but all the parts are interchangeable. You can put all of your parts into it. There are a couple of options, the blue is cool, but so is the carbon, bit.ly/QX7SCase Or if you just want to change it up there are a bunch of covers in different colors. bit.ly/QX7Cover-BG

At the age of 64 I've decided to get into drone flying/racing. Before I build/buy a quad I want to buy a radio and spend some time on a sim. Does the QX7 have a usb port to plug into a sim or do I need to get the X9D. I'm really not considering the QX7s because of the price. The X9D is only about $20 more.
@SimRacer1016 жыл бұрын
They all have a USB port you can use for a simulator, so no worries there. The QX7 is a great option for the price. It's the best pick for most people. If you can swing it I love the X9D Plus SE, but the QX7 really is great.

Good morning, Mark. I have a question for you. I am looking at getting into quad flying, and am wondering if the the QX7 can be easily used with computer sims? I don't have a large budget, but I miss the world of R/C. I used to race street cars and buggies. Then had a glider for a bit... so I am familiar with RC. What radio would you recommend that will work with computer sims and be a good radio for when I do get out in the field? Thanks man!

it’s really easy to use with a SIM, just plug in the mini USB port and your computer will recognize it. It the ~$100 price range my pick are the QX7 from this video, or the new X-Lite. kzbin.info/aero/PLfEeINCzBDwr9dnwSC9-pJSpeljfaWkeX It will probably do everything you want.
