Default FlySky new radios..

They have 2 new radios, just been released. They look cool.. More functionality. They don't have the manuals posted yet, I am sure they will soon.

FS-GT4


FS-GT3C

Ooh, interesting. I was planning on upgrading by GT3 to the GT3B, but I may just have to wait . Not sure if I like the designs as much as the previous generations, though, but I'll be interested to see what new functionality the GT3C provides over the GT3B, and more importantly what the GT4 will be able to do with another channel. Mixing, perhaps? or dig for crawling? Guess we'll just have to wait and see

EDIT: Specs say the GT3C and GT4 run off 3.7VDC. 1S LiPo? I think YES!

Sorry to double-post, but they also seem to have a new GT2B radio, which curiously has 3 channels . They don't have a link for it in the 'products' drop-down, but it's linked at the bottom of some of the other pages.

you can easily modify the firmware for the GT3B and it'll have up to 8 channels, mixing, key mapping, etc.

Here is a kit i've assembled to make the process as painless as possible

As for the new radios, i can't wait to get my hands on them, pop their lid off and see what can be done

the important thing is flysky website has the resolution of these radios as 1024 so they wont feel any different in terms of precision, bet they're still 22ms too

Yea its the same rf module...only way to get something better is using another module. Resolution is for smoothness and latency is for a shorter delay time.
