FrSky TANDEM X18S transmitter with EthOS
Priced for more than $500, the FrSky TANDEM X18S is for sure not intended for everyday FPV drone pilots. I have to admit that it has a UFO design and versatile hardware, but still super expensive for a remote controller!

RadioMaster Zorro review – Conquer the Sky!
From my point of view, the selling point of the RadioMaster Zorro transmitter is its big screen. When you are over 40 years old, you are losing the focusing ability for near vision and due to that, the lens inside your eye becomes less flexible. My actual radio controller has a small LCD that makes the configuration part quite...
Coming soon: Flysky FS-FT18 Paladin Transmitter
2019 comes with a new FlySky transmitter called FS-FT18 Paladin. As its name says it, will feature up to 18 channels. But why so many channels? Does anybody use them?
