Coming soon: Flysky FS-FT18 Paladin Transmitter
2019 comes with a new FlySky transmitter called FS-FT18 Paladin. As its name says it, will feature up to 18 channels. But why so many channels? Does anybody use them?

On top of...

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...
FrSky TANDEM X18S transmitter with EthOS
Priced for more than $500, the FrSky TANDEM X18S is for sure not intended for everyday FPV drone pilots. I have to admit that it has a UFO design and versatile hardware, but still super expensive for a remote controller!
The FrSky compatible Tandem X18 series dual-band telemetry radios benefit from an enhanced ergonomic design with rounded and more comfortable...

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...

If you read our PNP, BNF, ARF, RTF comparison, you probably already knows that only RTF package includes a remote controller. In case of the rest, you will need to use your own transmitter.
