Looks like it could be a very nice TX for those with lots of bells and whistles on their boats

140 quid for a 16 channel Transmitter with telemetry  :o
Initial reports on other forums are encouraging, seems to be very well made
can also take a DSM module to make it compatible with the Spektrum gear


I'm tempted, but I already have a 9Ch JR transmitter and that's plenty for my needs right now (Could do with a 9Ch+ 40Mhz tx tho)

And as we've all been holding our collective breaths for it  - - -   Audio speech output
   - alarms, values, settings etc
 
  Bad enough everyone around you taking the pi** in the event of a prang without your transmitter joining in  %)

That one did have me perplexed.... I find the incessant beeping of the current computer transmitters irritating enough.  It makes it very difficult to tinker late at night when others are sleeping.


I wonder if it can be programmed with your own sound bites?  :D
Other than that it does seem to be a very powerful bit of kit for the price..... most of the others with similar features are at least double if not triple the price
