Doesn't that thing only
hold six rounds...?

I've been looking into getting a microquad or at least getting in line for one. Since I last did research, all the transmitters I know of are discontinued. What's the current recommendation for an entry level OpenTX device?

Oscar Liang mentioned that there may be a coupon code for the TX16S from Banggood on his site sometime tonight. I'd like one myself to do general RC and amateur radio stuff, but since I got an RTF kit (Acrobee Lite) I'm holding off on that purchase.

(I am doing very slow LOS laps around the living room and hoping to god I don't manage to disintegrate this thing)

e: also for a sailboat you could just get away with the cheapest possible used 2ch from ebay. wheel for rudder, trigger for the mainsheet

My new goal is now to make an FPV autogyro.

Re: kits, I'm pretty happy with the Acrobee RTF. The monitor is detachable so it can continue to be useful after it's outgrown, and the transmitter is still an adequate piece of gear for simple vehicles or dual multi-module buddy boxing. Although I'm far from a good enough copter pilot to need to upgrade yet.

Dug the 65mm micro quad back out of storage, the RTF controller has noticeable slop so I'm thinking about getting an RC transmitter with Hall gimbals, but availability and pricing seems to be a little odd at the moment. A Jumper T12 from 2018 is $100-$120, but so is the brand new T-Pro and Radiomaster Zorro. What's happening? And why do I want to order a Zorro real badly?

Don't be silly, I've never crashed my --- checks notes --- tiny whoop flying indoors?
