LDARC EX8 review: FrSky transmitter for cheap
Last month, LDARC, formally known as Kingkong, announced their third beginner-oriented drone transmitter named EX8. Being compatible only with Futaba & FrSky receivers, without any future upgrade capability, I think they joined late to the game, as everyone moves to ExpressLRS these days. My LDARC EX8 review covers technical specifications, features, and initial settings.
The LDARC EX8 features 8 channels...
TBS Tango 2 Pro: Transmitter for all RC enthusiasts
The first TBS Tango 2 Pro reviews say that is the transmitter for which every RC enthusiast is waiting for. While it is super compact and lightweight, it comes with a built-in TBS Crossfire TX module and full-size gimbals. At first sight, the only “downgrade” from the first generation Tango RC is the lack of the FPV screen. Instead...

I’ve been testing the Jumper T14 for 2 weeks – here’s the pros and cons
The Jumper T14 is the company's third radio controller reviewed here on FirstQuadcotper. The T14 is a mid-level transmitter with a built-in 1W ERLS module. It adopts RadioMaster Boxer and TBS Mambo-like form, factor, and layout. Not everything about the T14 is whoa-inducing; it lacks flight mode buttons, and the antenna is not removable for upgrade purposes.
JumperRC released the...

On the front panel, it has two adjustable hall gimbals, a metal roller, and 6 control...
FrSky Tandem XE: You’re paying through the nose
I know that these days everything has become more expensive, but I'm curious how many of you would pay $1000 for a transmitter just to play with an FPV drone. The FrSky Tandem XE probably targets a very selective market willing to pay a fortune for remote control. For its price, no wonder why FrSky offers the Tandem XE...
