2019-06-13 17:50:56 +0000 UTC View PostPeople keep asking me: have you switched to the Jumper T16 full-time yet? Should I get the T16 as my main radio? Here's the honest answer. I'm still relying on my X9D.

I want to do a video full of little tips for FPV. I'm shooting for 100 but I have run out of steam. If you feel like helping, take a look at the above-linked document to get a feel for what I'm going for, and then post your suggestion below.

The one on the left is a parts-quad with a few frame pieces missing. The motors are good. The FC and ESC are good, but are different than in the "main" quad.
I typically don't like ...
