Well, that could've been worse. 😁 (ELRS)

First tussle with ELRS.

Got the boy a Jumper T-Lite V2 a couple of months back. He keeps banging on about wanting to do FPV every time I drag him out, so I thought I’d get him started on the simulators. It was his birthday last week, so I got him a BnF Baby Ape.

It’s only taken me 3 hours to get the two talking to each other and configured. Sounds like a long time, but my first FrSky took about 3 months.

Had to flash the TX as it was on some ancient 2.x version and the quad is 3.x. Still not the latest (thought I’d just match the TX to the RX for now) - but working.

Jumper T-Lite V2

Oooo - Thinking of going from FrSky to ELRS as well - interested in the Jumper T-Lite V2.

Are you going get a module to do FrSky or go with two controllers ?

Neither. This is my boy’s stuff and he’ll be buying his own if he sticks with it and wants more, so he’ll be able to go exclusively ELRS.

The Jumper is a nice controller, though.

I don’t have any ELRS (at the moment) and my controller is Mode 3, so there’ll be no sharing. That was somewhat intentional.

Mode 3

Having just changed a controller from node 1 to 2… I looked into what 3 and 4 were… And what they are is madness… Madness I say! It’s like people who don’t play computer games inverted mouse or controller

RM Pocket or boxer. Boxer if you can. 99 dollars I see it somewhere for the 4in1.

Probably this. The T Lite is a nice (and cheap) little TX, but it’s a one trick pony and external modules on these game-pad style controllers always look clumsy to me. Better if you can get it all built in.
However, a quick look would suggest such a thing does not exist - it’s either/or, so you’ll always need an external module. Or two controllers.

Buying the TX16S was the best choice at the start of this hobby. Was relatively new at the time (no boxer or Zorro,etc), got a tinyhawk, e800d goggles and the TX16S… One of them I use weekly still and was the right choice (ok maybe I’d get a boxer today, though I do love the screen on the 16s).

Last night got an old spectrum controller working wirelessly with the radiomaster to control an airplane with wireless trainer… Needed a 2 module system for that… Think what you may like to do in the future…

I feel the same about my TX12, to be fair. If I were to go to ELRS, I’d probably just get a module for that. Easy enough to just swap out the TBS module as required.

[GunjaFPV]

Exactly. Modules are the way forward and yes the 12 is one I forget. That little pocket looks cool though!

The Boxer is nice but I found it uncomfortable when I was using your too wide. I find the gamepads style easier to use.

RadioMaster Pocket (ELRS) Or Jumper T pro

Jumper T Pro V2 Transmitter 4in1 Multi-Protocol / ELRS

with a frSky module is my current thinking

[PathfinderFPV]

I have a T-Pro v1 and if you are a pincher, it would be fine. But I am not and even after taking a hacksaw to the sticks I still find them too high. I’m going to get a RM Pocket at some point and see if that suits better, but StingerSwarm reckons it’s more aimed at pinchers, ergonomically speaking. So don’t know. Might try a Zorro or Boxer if not.
