While I can appreciate [USER=2600]@RPR[/USER] thoughts on the TX subject, I will counter with this...

The Jumper T16 is a choice, but I would not get it for at least these 2 reasons

1.  Frsky has done a good job of bullying the retailers into NOT carrying the Jumper, there is a lot of bad politics on this, and while I am on Jumpers side on the issue, it doesn't change the reality.  In this hobby, there is nowhere to buy this TX except Alibaba and the like, I will deal with Race Day Quads and go with the OLD Frsky radios because they are the industry leader with 70+% of the market and the build quality is something I have experience with, and the Jumper is not giving anything but a cheap looking radio for $20 less than a QX7S.

2.  In this hobby there is 2 leaders in control protocol, Frsky ACCST, and TBS Crossfire, everything else is relatively fringe by comparison so the "Multi Protocol" board that needs to be SEPARATELY PURCHASED (i.e. extra money) isn't that useful unless you already have Spektrum or "off brand" protocol quads in your squadron/fleet.  I have about 30 quads, and I haven't once needed any other protocols than Frsky D and X series (90% of the BNF market) or Crossfire.  If the Jumper was significantly cheaper I would consider it, but in a hobby where everyone seems to chase the hype, I will stick with the tried, true, and well saturated equipment (75% of what the world flies) in the TX area.  The original Frsky models.  I have an QX7S, a X9D+ and an original X-Lite, I wouldn't trade them for anything new from Frsky or Jumper at this point if I were starting this hobby today.


Again, IMHO
