TX16S Radiomaster -- Loving the Gold Max
Recently a friend in the hobby mentioned to me about OpenTX, which I knew virtually nothing about. Then after looking into various radios and watching numerous YouTube videos, I concluded that the Radiomaster TX16S could be the transmitter for me.
I have the Gold Max version and I absolutely love it. The build quality is very good, and the IPS touchscreen looks rich in colour and has a high-resolution screen which displays the widgets and RC model photos to look nice and sharp.
I have the Crossfire Micro V2 module plugged into the module bay at the rear of the radio, and it sits nice and flush with the rear face which I really, really like... and the range and signal strength are literally beyond what I'll ever need... which is a bonus.
It came factory fitted with the gold finish metal upgrade kit: gimbal facias, control knobs, 2 & 3 position switch fasteners, system and model buttons, roller wheel, the four navigation buttons, and the power switch, all looking seriously sexy... and let's not forget the gold leather comfort grips.
As with many of these OpenTX radios, it truly amazes me how much you get for your money. The default functionality for setting up models is incredible. And then if you like the idea of programming your own features, you can extend the functionality even further by writing your own Lua scripts.
The module bay alone makes it worth the money for me. The Crossfire unit I've mentioned is fully integrated with the radios operating system, meaning you can set every parameter via the radios own colour screen, and with EdgeTX being developed to accompany OpenTX there's even new and exciting touchscreen functionality to look forward to.
I won't say anything bad about my Spektrum DX9 which has served me very well for the 7 years that I've had it, but the extra functionality of OpenTX combined with a multiprotocol TX with a module bay..... well, this has me hooked good and proper now.
