Sorry my post made you think this. I can assure you Radiomaster isn't paying me to spread the good word, though I wish they were.
I just joined because I only just started indoor carpet racing this season. Before that I only ever really did basher cars but mainly planes and helis and drones. Since like 2010. This thread caught my eye because I put the B6.4 I just built on my flight radio, which is a Radiomaster Boxer with internal ExpressLRS. Had this radio released a couple weeks ago I probably would have bought one. But now that I have a few hours of lapping on the stick radio I think I'm going to stick with that. It's working pretty well for me.
Anyways, I'm really just passionate about Express LRS and Edge TX. The hardware is just so cheap but works so well!
The first big attraction to me was the size of the receivers. You can get them without the pins soldered yet and they weigh like a single gram configured like that. So in ultra light foamie airplanes where you are shooting for 150 grams AUW, you can save like 10 grams going with a receiver like this, no case, no pins, and direct solder the servo wires to it. I put one in my B6.4 as it happens but did solder the pins on it because obviously not as nitpicky when you are aiming for 1490 grams or so. I used a Matek R24-P6. This is another cool thing about EdgeTX and ExpressLRS, since the software is opensource many companies make compatible hardware. Literally any receiver that has ever supported ExpressLRS can be flashed with the newest firmware and bound to any Transmitter that has ever supported ExpressLRS. Tried attached a pic for reference but my post count is too low still.
