    I switched to AG01 on my boxer. I am a daily flyer and I was curious. More importantly, AG01 stick ends are plain uncomfortable meat tube grinders. I ended up putting the original Boxer sticks back on the AG01 gimbals. Feel is good now but I am pretty sure it was more a want than a need!

    I had to take mine apart shortly after getting it to deal with a bad two position switch and it turned out the internal JSTs don't fit snugly. You might have a loose connection because the connectors are a hair too loose for the pins they used.

    The eyelet that holds the lanyard on the Zorro came off on mine last night while I was changing batteries on a drone. The radio was hanging from my neck and hit the ground right on the arm switch. It still works but this morning I tried to get the screw out that was flopping around inside out. Dude what a nightmare. That radio is seriously crammed full of stuff. I ended up just shaking it out so I didn’t have to take it apart.
    Be aware of this problem everyone. I’ve only had mine less then a couple months.
    Great reviews as always Albert. Sorry about your Zorro. 😟

    • @PoodlehawkFPV
      @PoodlehawkFPV 2 года назад +1

      @@saharmesri1810 absolutely, but getting inside the radio deep enough to reach the screw is basically taking it completely apart. After I looked inside, I was like, Hell No! So I emailed Radiomaster and let them know about this issue. My arm switch is super bent but it works. I’m all in on ELRS but this sucked and getting another radio right after I just bought this one was not on my list of priorities. If I ever decide to upgrade the gimbals, I’ll replace the screw and add locktite, and probably the bent up switch as well. I’m bummed though. It’s brand new and I like to keep my things nice.

      @@PoodlehawkFPV Yeah, it's sad when a shiny new purchase gets messed up through no fault of your own. Did the eyelet feel loose at all before it fell off? Mine feels pretty tight, it's actually slightly off-center but I haven't attempted to realign because it's on tight and I didn't want to mess with it. Thanks for letting everyone here know about the issue, sounds like for now people shouldn't 100% rely on that screw to hold up and address the issue if they ever need to open up the radio for something else.

      @PoodlehawkFPV 2 года назад +1

      @@saharmesri1810 yeah, I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else. Hopefully Radiomaster will start putting locktite on the next batch. Honestly I didn’t feel anything when it went. It felt snug and my NewBeeDrone lanyard fit perfectly.
      I really like the performance of the radio so far, but this sucked for sure.

    Nice review thanks
    On a side note: I dont know how people fly accurate by using thumbs?????? To me I see it is like writing, tape a pen to you thumb and try to draw a straight line between two parallel lines or even just try to neatly write and then try and use two fingers to draw with a pen, you will be 100 times more accurate and precise. Maybe I am too old school and all you younger lot learnt to use thumbs for everything???

    • @Bruno-cb5gk
      @Bruno-cb5gk 2 года назад +1

      I find thumbs easier to fly because I feel like you have better references. I find pinching uncomfortable while also holding the radio, and if I'm not holding it then my hand doesn't have as good of a reference for where the stick is. With thumbing the way the stick end rolls on the tip of my thumb also helps keep track of what angle the stick is at, hence what position it is in.
      On top of that I can move the sticks faster with thumbs, though that may be due to a lack of practice with pinching.

    • @crysix944
      @crysix944 2 года назад

      With the Frsky grand lotus stick ends thumbing is perfect for me. I never pinch probably because I grew up playing games with analog sticks that are too wide to pinch. I never have issues with slipping off or being inaccurate ripping tight corners in my dense backyard. Kids these days are thumbin'!!

    • @Drone-Pilot
      @Drone-Pilot 2 года назад

      Yeah I understand you guys can, but I guess it's like hand guns too, I use two hands to shoot accurately, it's a push pull scenario that makes it accurate, same with sticks on a remote controller pinching makes for push pull thats not to say people cant shoot with one hand, I know they can, its just that it is more accurate and repeatable using 2. Like a needle pulling a splinter out of your skin, sure you could do it with your thumb, but its just more precise when using thumb and index finger.

    @saharmesri1810 2 года назад

    Anyone using the Jumper AION nano module on their Zorro along with the carrying case? Everything seems to fit, just like the module Albert is using here, but it seems that if I leave the antenna attached it bends the antenna in a way that makes me think it might damage it in the long run. So far I've been just taking the antenna off before storage but that's rather annoying. So I guess which is worse, bent antenna, or using a 45 degree adapter to angle it up a bit?

      @saharmesri1810 2 года назад +1

      @@Adam_Carbone yes, it would be great if Albert is able to weigh in since I believe he has this module and its stock antenna, plus a Zorro and the carrying case. If I could I would post a picture to show the issue. Its probably okay, but over the years I have seen many cables fail due to repeated strain on one spot, hence my concerns. Though I guess replacement antennas are cheap enough.

    8:03 I'm a little confused here. You said that the stock gimbals were "potentiometer", but the specs on the manufacturer's site and all the other reviews and sellers are saying said they were Hall Sensor gimbals. Was this an accidental mis-phrasing or am I missing something? I haven't heard of mostly plastic-made hall sensor gimbals having such poor life expectancy before.
