RadioMaster TX16S is here. Jumper T16 is done. 

Thank you. I am looking forward to your T18 review.

Ooooh always those reminders about the affiliate links in the description. PEOPLE, listen: if you're here, this guy probably helped you A LOT to get into this amazing hobby, and you've had A LOT of fun (instead of trouble) thanks to him, so just go to his freaking website, get his affiliate links for all the vendors, put them into the Favorites List of your browser and just use them for every purchase. Let's make him filthy rich (or at least a little bit closer to that), he deserves it.

Thanks for paving my way into a Hobby I was too scared to approach for too long. Ordered them, looking forward to following your great Simulator Tutorials!

Loving mine and no problems. 3 models installed and so far so good.

I started with the FPV hobby back on January, learning to fly with the Taranis X9 Lite and the Lift Off simulator races (so it is funny to see this house as a course map), and a couple months later (amid all that's happening) I got my first quad for training yesterday! I got a Mobula 6 with the FatShark Recon V3. I went to the park today and I was actually able to fly it around and go with the trees and all. It was fun to see other people stopping by to watch. Just wanted to say thanks for your channel, learning a lot from it. (Also I'm from GA, if there are any events nearby I'd really like to check them out).

Thank you so much for doing a range test I've been waiting for someone to do it!

Just got my TX16S a couple of days ago and I love it. Already committed to crossfire so seems like a no brainer (cheaper than T18). Thanks as ever for a great and honest review Joshua.

2 years later the MKII comes out, I saved and picked up the MKI HALL edition. I'm moving up from a Jumper T-Lite v2, which I still use for inside whooping and is in a completely different range. With the saved money I used some to get an ELRS module. Super happy, this info helped me pull the trigger after also looking at the MKII vids to see the difference. Always happy to watch old and new JB vids when I'm looking for an honest and good review. Cheers!

Great review as always. I got the Jumper T16 last November and have lost count how many times I have had to reseat the ribbon cables. If only this radio was out last year. 👍

Thanks for your review, been really waiting for it)

Still learning for you every day, thank you.

Very good no nonsense unbiased video. Looking forward to your T18 report as I'm leaning toward that one. Nice country setting. Had you pegged in a NYC apartment.

Crazy. That radio was $130 less than 2 years ago. I just bought one for $199 which is the standard price now.

I already preordered mine so excited!

Great review, Joshua! Thanks a lot! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

i love my tx16s. just learning to fly and it is nice, i have the newest version raised page and return buttons and lower profile sticks i use it on my 5 inch build and my tiny whoop, its really nice. at the end of the day your flying and the radiomaster helps deliver that experience..

Thanks Josh, I learn from you every day, peace

Sweet! Thanks for the good review! Love my Taranis for my drones but a lot of eflite rc planes only come bind and fly.

Cant wait for the Jumper T18 review and you're view of which to get up against the RadioMaster TX16. I have both in the basket for the last 3 days waiting for the review. (my radio packed in a few weeks back). Thanks for the great channel. Watched so much this last month.

My shipped yesterday! Super hyped

Great review as always, love the outro

There it is!! Looks like an awesome radio man!

Very few videos out there, that shows comparison of jumper and radiomaster currebtly.... Great work... Always to the point

I have the Jumper T16 Pro and works great. I cant get a new radio every couple of months like you Joshua. I had a Spektrum Dx6 for many years but wanted something that did all protocols and along came Jumper had an 8sg, too small upgraded to T16 pro, changed to carbon face plate, awesome radio does all my planes and quads, added TBS Crossfire even better, Gimballs are very precise as well.

great review as always Bardwell, cheers mate

Starting this hobby best advice was to get good radio. When I started it was Mr Steel X9D no cros. This was my 1st loved it, then frisky X lite no aceess. Use $20 R-xsr in fport in all my builds with DJI and few analog still working. Never range issue or build quality, still very solid. Also only use internal antenna. Sold my X9D before getting into digital. Ty as you as well helped me back then!

Please do a "How to switch from T16 to T16S" (Splash Screen, Sounds, Models, Rates, .... ) video.

Really happy with the upgrade coming from a really old x9d. For the price I think its worth the risk but I would have no problem repairing it myself. Mine showed up in perfect condition though.

I went the other way from the X9d... Tango 2 pro... simple, small, great gimbals, built-in Crossfire, long lasting battery, excellent antenna setup, solid company. We fly quads... I dont need or want a big fat tx that's a pita to pack, especially since adding dji's much larger HD goggles. And if I want to fly a multi-engine gasser with retracts I still have the X9d/Crossfire and its 2 watts.

for now i stay with my jumper t16 its been really good to fly my drones . good video

Your videos keep me on my feet with with quads so thank you. I was really debating on this controller as my new controller. Cuz the turning evolution is way outdated

Thank you for the very honest and open review.

Thanks Joshua! Good information as usual!

Love your vids Joshua. Keep it up!👍🔥

Definitely getting this or the Jumper T18. I really don't care for my Qx7. I'll wait patiently for your review. Thanks, JB!

same here, mine was arrived yesterday and im very excited

Hi Joshua, thanks for the review! I received my radio on Tuesday and haven’t had any problems yet. However, I have see some people complaining that the digitiser on the touch screen leaves a weird square pattern. I don’t know how they’re radios have come or if you’ve run into the same problem, but I found that there’s a very stiff screen protector that is actually tucked around the edges of the display. I removed that and the screen is perfect now with no touch sensitivity lost (I checked in the calibrator sections).

Joshua, Nice video Thank you.. I just received my TX16S yesterday and haven't flown with it but just wanted to mention there were no issues with stuck buttons or anything bad with mine.. The left and right sliders are a little loose but unless you bump one.. it's not going anywhere and the center detent ( along with the ON Screen display VERY clearly show the position of each) I did NOT expect to get the Touch screen functionality in the display but it IS there in the $120 Banggood version I got with the Hall Effect gimbals.. I just wish there was a place like P400 and P401 inside to to add-in the SJ and SJ switches I added into my Q-7XS radios cause I really like having momentary push buttons under the index finger to trigger voice announcements of ( I have 6 diggerent ) telemetery parameters on demand .. I'm going to update both of these older Q-7S radios to 2.3.7 1st then transfer their D16 and ASSAN models to the Radiomaster and set up the TX16S for wireless training .. Really hoping is goes smoothly and am looking forward to more videos on the TX16 soonest.. Thanks Again.. JimS

Bought this radio last night...Excited to finally start investing into this hobby!

Sir thank u so much for your time and expertise

I’ve got mine on preorder and looking forward to getting it in my hands. Yes the jumper t18 might be better again, but it’s also more expensive than the radiomaster tx16s, which is important to me, as I’m not exactly rich lol. I’m sure that I’m going to be happy with my purchase and if it does need one of those minor glitches repaired, I’m willing to accept that for the otherwise great quality that this brings to the table. Also with the new t18, how do you fit an aerial that will be compatible with the r9 setup, do you have to drill another hole in the body of the case, and do you actually have a place to fit the connection to the r9 antenna.

I don't know if I'm that somebody you mentioned @14:40 but if not, count that as two radios received with the right slider not working due to a broken wire at the solder joint... lol Quick repair, working good after. I'll have some video up soon.

I got my TX16S today and I love it! It's so freaking good.

just ordered mine through your affiliate link with a bunch of new receivers, FPV cams, and flight batteries so you should have gotten a little of that. lol. thanks for all you do!!

I've had issues with the TX16S internal RF module's range, getting 20-30% lower RSSI than the patch antenna on my X-Lite. I replaced it with a uFL-SMA adapter + VAS 2.4GHz antenna and it improved a LOT, plus my antenna is now removable.

Thanks Joshua for the review. I was about to get Jumper, but got my eyes on Flysky Paladin. Ended with doubts in getting any of them. But this seems to be better choice to replace my Flysky i10 and stays along side my Futaba 10J, as it binds with AFHDS 2A and FHSS.

Nice was looking forward to this.

i got my t16 and im loving it i had to shield the back plate to use a dragonlink TX but after doing it its the coolest LR setup ever :) wish i waited for a bit to get this with a touch screen :/ new stuff comes too fast man

I have been waiting for this for some time... And it is good.

Dude wtf! I'm more impressed with that log cabin/barn style house, sick as fack 👍🏻 thanks for the review 🇺🇸

Joshua: As usual, your review was very thorough and covered some details and testing not done elsewhere, which I appreciate. I did not hear any comments about the color monitor. I'm concerned, and some reviewers commented, that this color monitor may get washed out when used in direct sunlight. Please give us your opinion. I think this could be a show stopper. Enjoyed time with you when you visited Duke. Jim

I've had no issues with my T16 so far. I trust it on long range flights miles out. However, if the TX16S proves to be reliable (ribbon cables aren't the only issue that arises in transmitters people...) then I will be switching eventually.

Literally waiting on my radimaster to be delivered right now lol.. should be here in about an hour.. I'm pretty excited about this radio.

Thanks for sharing this info I order mine yesterday in bangood 💪

Thanks for this video. I almost lost my drone flying my Flysky I6 radio. I'm going to buy this radio soon

this week comes to me, hopefully good 😍

Got my jumper t16 a while ago, still loving everything about it, should be good till the screen stops working, but even then you can just get a replacement

I just ordered mine a few days ago.

I'll wait for your review of the t18 (pro) for my final decision. My x9d died on me yesterday (oke, kinda murdered her by dropping her from a little to high) and I really dislike the path chosen by Taranis. Slapped an fs-ia6 in one of my beaters and found my first radio (fs-i6) in the shed. Gimbals are pretty worn but she still gets the job (me getting my fix) done.

I just got mine!! Woohoo!

Wow the place you went for the range teat is looks like somewhere in Kerala..🌿🌱🌳🌴

Great vid 👍

love the vids Joshua

Just ordered it!!!! 😁

Great review!!! RSSI is not %, it is dB! -6dB = double the distance. This is why it doesn't decrease lineary. 🙂 The RM TX16 will be supported by OTX 2.3.8

Yup - as soon as in stock I'm ordering one.

Joshua you're the only one in the crew that hasn't gone batshit crazy with their facial hair it's nice to see someone remained sane

Already bought it. Should be here later this week. Definitely seems to have more capabilities than I will ever completely utilize. A little anxious to try out a better radio than the fifty dollar one I have been using.

Thanks for this useful review... however the conclusion is « wait and see », if I am not mistaken... I am sticking with my x9d SE which works fine for the moment (especially with Crsf)

Great review. I see how it may be easier to compare signal strength using trees to quickly reduce the strength, but I would really like to see a comparison with a clear LOS. Just a thought.

Great vid thanks...

My pre-order just shipped. I think the touchscreen is going to be a killer feature that will lead to onboard maps.

I purchased it on banggood along with Crossfire. Greetings from Turkey :)

I loved the fact i bought a x9d plus se 2019 and bought crossfire for it and OH YEAH, the xjt module to work with d8 protocol! I get to change out modules. Booyah!

Don't forget, ground range is always less than air range. Nice House Joshua!!

I have a Jumper T8SG, I'm waiting for the latest Jumper t16 , i gont my hands and the radiomaster TX and I pre orderd the T18. With all the price on those radios i might bought a futaba instead, but i like to have a spare radio in case of my main daily radio breaks, plus the external anatomy of all is kind the same so it's fine with muscle memory. And.... I want to try things with them, maybe painted them or share them with a friend or family member who wants to try to fly a quad. with only one radio I could'nt share my hobby with soemone next tome.

Awesome video as always. I have one on its way. Is the sd card ok in this or like the jumper is it best to replace the sd card. Many thanks. Keep up great work

I love my Tx16s 🎉 With crossfire module… awesomeness lol

Nice video bro...👍👍👍

I had both a stuck job wheel and model button. Was able to open it up and get everything moving.

Great video, thanks. What are additional two trims for? My taranis only has four trims. What type of connector does the battery take?

Been a while since I saw a Bardwell video. Missed this guy.

I bought the Jumper T18 Pro in pre-order from the Jumper official store on Aliexpress.

Hay Josh Great video of the T16, and if I was starting in this Hobby it would probably have to be one of the best deals. Back when I started my first radio was a 4 channel FM radio and I paid around a $150 for it back in the early 70s. Thanks again for the information.

My Jumper T16 has started developing ribbon cable problems. I was able to repair most of them, but the RS slider connector broke while I was trying to fix it. I don't NEED the sliders in my current RC habit, but I may want it back another day, so I'm putting my finger on the pulse of the market by watching these reviews in case I decide it's time to upgrade. That said, I JUST got to the part where Jumper is offering upgraded cables, and I'm probably going to spring for that. I also will want to order a new connector/mux board because I broke that connector, but hey, I admit that that one's my fault, and I'll pay for the repair.

"Oh cool, check out that Lamborghini's taillights!" "Hmmm...that looks like we can make some buttons!"

I learned something ! :)

I realize it is purely subjective, but I have a Jumper T12 and I love the small size due to the fact that I can reach all controls with no reach and it is compact and easy to handle!

Nice video! Quick question? My Left stick (Mode 2) is off center to the right. Not by much, but I can see it for sure. This was not an issue at all since calibrating worked great, however, after using the radio with a Flight Sim, the Sim told me that Channel 4 is off center??? Is there a way to center the stick using some "Gimbal Adjustments" in the inside??? Thanks.

Hi Joshua, Thank you for this review. After watching this video I decide to buy TX16S Multiprotocol Hall Gimbal version. It's work perfectly with Frsky receivers. But I have a trouble to bind it with FS-X6B. Can you tell me is it possible to bind tx16s with x6b? I do some research but no one have this issue. Thanks again.

I had preordered the radiomaster in late January...Covid-19 was around the corner so... things got delayed...like a lot... So I asked for a refund, used all my coupons and points from banggood since I had a lot of them (gotta have spare screws and props 🤣) and got myself an X9D plus SE for around 220€. I love this radio to this day and has no issues with my crossfire at all. Build quality is top of the line and the battery lasts forever because there is no giant lcd display to drain it.

Good morning Joshua. Please help me. I really liked this radio. I can't find the information on the Radiomaster website about the output power in MW 2.4gz of this module. Another question, is if I can change the module to jp5in1 in the future? The last question: I will not use 900mhz because I fly planes. Is the power of the TX16 at 2.4gz the same as the 2.4gz of the jp5in1? Thank you very much

Waiting for T16XXxs when it gets released next year! I heard the volume goes up to Eleven! Lol

What beautiful place. Do you live there or just rest in weekend ? What the best, radiomaster TX16S or Jumper T18? Congratulation your channel is a reference in drones.

Joshua! i got a question for ya. I have a NewbeeDrone BeeBrain and I'm about to buy the FrSky Taranis QX7 ACCESS to fly it. I believe its a newer version and not the V2. can you please explain to me how I can pilot my D8 Drone with a D16 Transmitter?!? PLEASE!!

i just made the big jump and got the tx16s and the combo with micro tbs and 3 rx

Man , the place you live is heaven.

That frosty ending tho... ;)

Purchased this the other day on Amazon and paid $300 with all the bells and whistles (team blacksheep module, Hall gimbles) and so I can get it sooner than a month. Orserd the external charger and the original radiomaster 5000mAH battery. I spent between $400-$500 for it all and I just got it to use with my tinyhawk 2 freestyle and the velocidrone simulator. Smh, crazy I know but I didn't wanna wait a month to get it just to save $50.

i already have the T16 and holds pretty steady for me, i don't think i should get bothered to upgrade it.
