The Hall gimbal and the TBS versions come with a touch screen installed. You can test your touch screen using your Open TX software. Long press the System button (the left silver button). Page over to Hardware. Scroll down to Debug and select Analogs. When you touch the screen, you'll see an X-shaped cursor where you touch. Also, the X-Y coordinates will appear in the lower left beside the words "Touch panel:".
Happy with my TX16S.....as for the knobs, switches and sliders they feel fine and are very good quality. I think its quite a personal 'feel' thing as even comparing the TX16S back to radios I've still got from the 1990s the switch gear and pots feel well rounded and then compared to my FlySky I6 the TX16S is streets ahead on feel, detents, centering and reach for switches and so on.
I’ve been using a Jumper T16pro since January with no worries. The first thing I did was to make a battery pack and throw away the spring battery holder,to many memories of bashing torches to clean the contacts and get them to work.
Andrew, thanks for your review. I am giving serious contemplation to purchase this radio. I feel it could very well be a successful replacement for my Taranis.
Interesting point about the throttle-stick ratchet, Andrew. Yes, some of us still like a positionable throttle that's not just a smooth friction band. Personally, I love ratchets. Oh, feel free to mock me, peeps - I know what I like, and I don't care! Although I can fly Mode 2, I much prefer Mode 1 [engine and ailerons on the right-hand stick; elevator + rudder on the left]. When I was running 4-stroke glow engines I always liked light springs on both Tx gimbals and a fine ratchet on the throttle so that every touch on the ailerons didn't rev the engine up or down like an overexcited adolescent with his first motorbike. I could also set the throttle precisely when I couldn't hear the engine. A perfectly smooth, ratchet-free, friction-only throttle doesn't give any positional feedback if you're flying a long way away and can't hear what the motor's doing. Being able to give exactly 2, 3, or 4 clicks on the throttle was very handy when setting things like flaps or elevator trims when the plane was a long way off. Nowadays computer radios do everything for you mixing-wise, and you can see the actual stick positions on a pretty LCD screen, but I like to keep my eyes on the model and feel what's happening. Looking at a screen is a great way to lose a plane. People flying electric-powered models - and especially quad-copters - are probably just more used to fiddling constantly with their motor speed settings; I can appreciate why they'd prefer a 'loose' throttle. Maybe they like to sound busy. Yes, I know that hovering a quad accurately might demand a mid-notch ratchet position... But maybe they just need finer ratchets. I made my own. Whenever I flew big (4 metre+) thermal-soaring gliders I used to have the variable wing camber on the throttle stick. I found it extremely useful to have a ratchet on it. With a simple analogue radio, when the plane was just a speck in the sky it was great to know exactly where the wing camber was set. Without some kind of notched reference it would have been too easy to change the camber when turning. Anyway, that's why I like a ratchet on my throttle stick: you can set an exact variable by touch alone without taking your eyes off the plane. Carry on, chaps.
Thanks Andrew Great video. I live on the other side of the "Big Ball" in Toronto Canada. Just waiting to get my hands on one ... No stock here yet. All the best Don.
Hi Andrew, I'm not a lover of battery boxes and I have no idea why something as important as an R/C transmitter would supply one unless it was a cheap toy so I'm going to make up a couple of my own 18650 packs. Just to say I've been an avid follower of your channel since watching your reviews of the 2400mm Volantex and the 2000mm V2 and bought them both! Keep up the good work!!
I just ordered mine! Waiting for it to come back in stock / release (can’t work out which one lol)! In regard to the grid, I believe that it was people not removing the factory protective film.
Just an FYI for your audience Andrew, I just received the Hall version and the back is now connected to the front via speaker cables (that can be unplugged), as they have put in a larger speaker to combat the complaints of it being quiet.... not any more :)
Great review.. I ordered on because I'm sorta not trusting the ribbon cables on my Jumper T16.. I had one that didn't work when I bought it but they sent me an new one and all is well.. however I would hate to see my drone disarm while flying over a lake.
Nice review, and thank you very much for that. But, as far as I have been looking for, I have not seen any review with the Radiomaster (or even Jumper T16 ) with 50cc or bigger size gassers airplanes. And that is a real shame, because both companies are missing a huge amount of money. Radiomaster and Jumper should also aim, face up and shake strongly the big and more stabilshed radio companies in that niche, in my humble opinion... starting with sponsoring the best airplane gassers pilots. Greetings from south of Brazil.
Hi Andrew. Is it correct that the 18650 holder only accepts button-top, and not flat-top 18650s? Were you using flat-tops in yours? I couldn't tell for sure from the video. Thanks.
Nice demo as usual, almost the same as my new jumper TX-18 s. Still need to find how to assign 2 and 3 position switches, and how to use the mix and set up 2 and 3 functions to these switches. Still trying to figure this out. The words channel, mode, receiver number, inputs and mixes get confusing. lol probably just old age. Looking forward to your video of an actual step by step assigning modes to switches, how you know what channels to use, and to see the switches actually work and how you assigned them. Happy Flying
@@AndrewNewton Thanks Andrew that vid was very helpful. As per your video i think i have set up my xk A800 mini glider. I set the two switches as you suggested and I see movement on them now yeah!!! I put my throttle cut on a 3 position switch and label'd it thrcut so I know where it is lol.. Man there is a lot to learn on this transmitter. Now waiting for some good weather and if it is good may even record a flight for my channel. Now where did I put all that camera stuff? lol Happy Flying
What are your thoughts on this transmitter a month later? How is the range compared to the FrSky transmitters? You mentioned using the six buttons as mode switched for iNav. Have you tried that out? Would free up three switches.
It's a nice looking TX...My carbon case X9D with M9 Hall Stick units still works flawlessly though..The X9D is wildly overpriced now and has been so for a while...FrSky need to think about what direction they are going as they have alienated their customer base TBH...My EZUHF Module might send it berserk though like it does the Jumper T16..(no RF shielding)...???..Needs testing.
Hi Andrew 🤗, another great review video from you - keep it up! I have been a big fan of your UA-cam channel for many years. I am currently preparing myself for my return to model flying and I am currently very unsure which transmitter I should buy best. In the past, like you, I had the QX7 with OpenTX and was always very satisfied. Unfortunately, I decided at the time to sell these, as well as all of my other equipment 🙈. So I have to buy now everything again 😅. This mistake will not happen to me a second time 😉! However, a lot is currently happening on the transmitter market. Both the Jumper T16 and the Radiomaster TX16S have become real bestsellers due to their price-performance ratio (multi-module, color display, etc.). The Jumper T18 will soon be launched in several versions, which will no longer have the "shortcomings" that the Jumper T16 and the Radiomaster TX16S currently have. In other words, it has better switches, has a 5 instead of "only" a 4-in-1 module etc. However, and that is the issue that is currently causing me a headache when I make my purchase decision, what about future security? FrSky relies on their new ACCESS with their transmitters and future receivers and no longer on ACCST. In comparison to ACCST, ACCESS offers some new and interesting or innovative features (24 channels, etc.). But this is exactly where the big “problem” lies, because neither Jumpers nor radiomasters support ACCESS. That would mean that you can still use the current / "old" ACCST-receivers from FrSky, but not all future ACCESS-receivers !? In other words, if you choose a Jumper T16, Jumper T18 or a Radiomaster TX16S transmitter, you have a very good transmitter, but you also decide for a future without FrSky! I would be very interested in your opinion! Which transmitter would you advise under these aspects and why? Thank you very much for your feedback! All the best to you and your family and stay healthy! Ps: And of course many many wonderful flight hours & UA-cam videos!
Thanks Dominik. All my receivers are FrSKY ACCST. Cant beat the cost, range and telemetry. I'll use the TX16S as my daily but keep a Taranis for future ACCESS receivers if necessary.
Andrew...thank you!!! I have bought you three coffees!!! I have ordered this Tx today. Can you please explain a bit about dlg " launch mode " whilst holding down a switch with the left hand. What is the switch configured to do please?
Peter, many thanks for the coffees! Launch switch gives momentary up elevator to rotate the DLG up from a flat throw, and a tiny bit of right rudder just to counter the left yaw from the throw. You release the switch as soon as the DLG is heading skyward.
@@AndrewNewton Thanks Andrew. When my new tranny arrives ( hee hee) I will have fun learning how to mix that in. I will watch all your vids. Just finished watching your Eachine Seal fpving along the coast. Awesome!!! Cheeers
Hi andrew. Do you know if the radiomaster is compatible with the frsky grx8 in terms of telemtry. Will it beep for lift and give me altitude information?
Andrew: You clearly have mastery of this radio, and I assume have a fair amount of experience with non-hobby grade receivers on beginner planes & quads. I have just purchased the Eachine P51D Mustang, F4U Corsair, and Volantex V761-1 Firstar mini planes with three 3 modes for their 6axis gyro to help my friends get into this hobby. I would very much appreciate your advice/investigation whether the multiprotocol system on this Tx can fly each of these planes instead of the original RTF transmitters. I understand that a F22 pusher jet is also now out, and appears to be fast, but tiny. AFAIK, all of these Eachine planes are made with EPP foam and nearly indestructable. I would love to see you do your quality of review on all of them. Addendum: I recently realized you did a review of the Volantex mini Firstar several years ago! Secondly, I would love your assessment whether the larger color screen of the RadioMaster TX16S is still clear to view outside in bright sunshine compared to other model's B&W LCD screens. Keep going for the gold! Jim
Have you run into any problems without having an actual "bind" button? For example with enabling "SAFE"/GPS mode on some, you hold bind, press flight mode three times. I'm just wondering how this would happen in this (during the menu binding process?)
@@AndrewNewton hi Andrew, hope you will be fine. Thank you for amazing reviews.. I already had used QX7, but then sold.. no I want to buy again.. I felt my interest in Radiomaster, but don't know how it will go.. I would highly appreciate your opinion in this regard.. Best Regards
Really like the looks of that radio I do like that its easier to find trim vs qx7 which i use too. I noticed with a lanyard on you can't see muchnof yhe screen. Mabye a side mounted strap would be beneficial in order to see it easier👍👍
Hi Andrew, nice to see the video content. I have confused due on market online have to type for this model tx16s RadioMaster. 1. Cheaper but mentioned for drone 2. Normal range prices. My inquiry and need ur advice which one the correct to purchase for this transmitter as what on this video. The link on this video not really work for me to choice due have mentioned drone as well. Hope get back from you soon.
I've been using Futaba for many years now without a glitch. I'd be interested in one of these to try it out as It's quite cheap in price compared to Futaba radios. What protocol do they use, Can it do Fasstest with telemetry? As I wouldn't trust anything else especially with my very expensive turbine jets.
Hope you can help me. I have jumper t16 pro v2 setup to kopilot I'm using mode 2 AETR. The motor will only start when over half way up on throttle. any suggestions? I do watch most of your videos
I switched from R9m to crossfire micro , i had to many problems with the R9m , crossfire is awesome , been out 5miles with 99% signal had to turn aroud because of battery , lol
Jumper t16, radiomaster etc... Would i swap my qx7 with Hall gimballs and R9 module for one of those ? Nope. Screen that sucks juice, and not visible with lanyard, bigger and probably heavier too...
cannot agree , sold my taranis x9d and jumper t16s Pro and the radiomater feels good and safe like no ribbon cable ... It is perfectly balanced if you hook it to the lanyard No need to complain
Finally!!!! A freaking review of the T16 been used on a airplane. I’m sure you are the ONLY guy doing a review using a airplane instead quads, racing quads, fpv quads, quads, quads, quads.....!!!!!¡¡¡¡ I bought one and still waiting to arrive it. Any thoughts on using this radio on giant scale aerobatic gas planes? Much appreciated
Andrew teacher! I'm about to buy a Radiomaster Tx-16S to replace my dear Flysky. Do I need to buy the long-range module to fly wings and airplanes? Sincerely from the Canary Islands!
@@AndrewNewton I have doubts when making the purchase of the station. I have seen that there are two models of radiomaster TX16S and I don't know which one to buy. Basic or hall? Which one do you recommend? Kind regards from the Canary Islands
The only thing that kept me away from this radio was the screen location. Why couldn't they put it on the top like the horus 12s. You've got this awesome screen and you cant see it because your strap is in the way.
No, Taranis SD card is not recognised. You can convert models from Taranis to TX16S using Companion (when 2.3.8 is released) but switches and mixes may not be identical.
Hi andrew, i hope you’re doing great. I have two questions. Can anyone tell me why, i’m getting rf signal critical warnings after only 30 meters in the air with my radiomaster t16s? I am using dsmx protocol. Also, anyone can tell me how to setup, using flaps as ailerons in sync with the ailerons. Thanks
@@AndrewNewton dear andrew thank you for your amazing videos. I figured it out , you need just to disable telemetry warnings with dms receivers. Do you have a website where i can correspond with you directly?
8% for this rc transmitter for all banggood friends of coupons 12$ "pArts8" ordered m first a few weeks ago - and now the second one after the strong influencer marketing appeared all over yt and the "named badges" usb charging works out of the box and RC Sim too at least under Windows 10 the radiomaster is really balanced hooked to the laneyard
Hi, Great video and review. I purchased myself a TX16S with the crossfire module and should be shipping in a few days. I’m very interested in the custom sliders. I don’t have a 3D printer and was wondering if I pay you for them, would you be willing to print me s pair and mail them to me? Thanks.
It depends on the position of the antenna on your aircraft. If it's vertically on the aircraft, it should also be vertically on the radio. There's no "right or wrong" position
@@AndrewNewton vertical and horizontal on the plane is the right way but on the Tx it should be vertical, horizontal focuses a significant portion of the radiation towards the ground. Having it horizontal is essentially the same as putting the 2.4ghz dipole on the tx horizontal, something nobody would ever do but most don't realise the polarisation of the super 8 antenna on the R9M.
I love these Multi-Protocol Transmitters that are available now. One TX to Rule them All ;-) Nice demo of the TX, thanks! See you in the Air!
DX9 Black: 830g. Didn't think I'd be putting my TX on the scales when I woke up this morning.

Haha, gave you something to do. I dont actually need multi protocol or a big colour screen but cant slow progress.
Thank you - the best practice-focused review video on RadioMaster TX16S.

Many thanks, I have to agree of course
Andrew, thanks for your review. I am giving serious contemplation to purchase this radio. I feel it could very well be a successful replacement for my Taranis.
I think the buttons and switches may be better but not the pots and sliders.

What protocol do they use, Can it do Fasstest with telemetry? As I wouldn't trust anything else especially with my very expensive turbine jets.
Its multi protocol but from what I read it only works with FAST, which I think is the older Futaba protocol
I wouldn't be messing around with multi protocol modules on your jets. Stick with what works.
I would definitely stick with Futaba.
Is R9m menu already present inside or do we need to update certain firmware to make it available. Tq
R9 menu appears when you select it in the External Module list. No update required
@@AndrewNewton glad to hear that. Thz Sir Andrew.
Can we use Turnigy 9X 2.4GHz 8Ch Receiver (V2) and HobbyKing 2.4Ghz Receiver 6Ch V2 for the TX16S Hall.....?
Yes Flysky protocol
Hope you can help me. I have jumper t16 pro v2 setup to kopilot I'm using mode 2 AETR. The motor will only start when over
half way up on throttle. any suggestions? I do watch most of your videos
Hi Bob, that's odd behaviour. Try calibrating the transmitter sticks then the ESC
I switched from R9m to crossfire micro , i had to many problems with the R9m , crossfire is awesome , been out 5miles with 99% signal had to turn aroud because of battery , lol
R9m like good power....
@@prudensky i had it on the highest setting , updated firmware, still problem, I love that the crossfire receiver can be updated wirelessly
How did you manage to get one Andrew? Was one sent for review only? I've ordered one monrth ago one from Banggood, but it stills says on Pre-Order :(
Hobby Porter asked if I would like to review it. This is a pre release version
Jumper t16, radiomaster etc... Would i swap my qx7 with Hall gimballs and R9 module for one of those ? Nope. Screen that sucks juice, and not visible with lanyard, bigger and probably heavier too...
cannot agree , sold my taranis x9d and jumper t16s Pro and the radiomater feels good and safe like no ribbon cable ...
It is perfectly balanced if you hook it to the lanyard
No need to complain
Great info Andrew
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally!!!! A freaking review of the T16 been used on a airplane. I’m sure you are the ONLY guy doing a review using a airplane instead quads, racing quads, fpv quads, quads, quads, quads.....!!!!!¡¡¡¡ I bought one and still waiting to arrive it. Any thoughts on using this radio on giant scale aerobatic gas planes? Much appreciated
Excellent, I think this is more of a fixed wing radio anyway
@@AndrewNewton you are the man!
Can you do some more videos with planes, but at this time, binding it to Spektrum receivers?
Thanks again
Eduardo
Andrew teacher! I'm about to buy a Radiomaster Tx-16S to replace my dear Flysky. Do I need to buy the long-range module to fly wings and airplanes? Sincerely from the Canary Islands!
Hello to the Canaries! Only if you want to do long range, like more than 3km
@@AndrewNewton I have doubts when making the purchase of the station. I have seen that there are two models of radiomaster TX16S and I don't know which one to buy. Basic or hall? Which one do you recommend?
Kind regards from the Canary Islands
@@AndrewNewton Thank you very much
They are both good. Nothing wrong with the basic
I have a Jumper T18 on pre order with the Fr 9 on the internal multi module.
Killer feature. The competition is good.
@@AndrewNewton Competition is great!
Nice little radio, still love my X10 👍🏻
Yes the X10 looks to be high quality
Andrew Newton I use the FRsky OS as well, seems fine. 👍🏻
The only thing that kept me away from this radio was the screen location. Why couldn't they put it on the top like the horus 12s. You've got this awesome screen and you cant see it because your strap is in the way.
Nice looking! How many model slots does it have?
I'll ask Hobby Porter and report back. Not mentioned anywhere
Unlimited models because they are saved on the SD card.
The effective limit is 60
Can I just plug in my SD card from my Taranis into this and bind to each model or do I have to re-create all models into this?
No, Taranis SD card is not recognised. You can convert models from Taranis to TX16S using Companion (when 2.3.8 is released) but switches and mixes may not be identical.
Andrew Newton thank you sir.
Which radio is better x9d+ or t16s radiomaster??
I prefer the X9D+ but I dont need the multi protocol and big screen
Hi andrew, i hope you’re doing great. I have two questions. Can anyone tell me why, i’m getting rf signal critical warnings after only 30 meters in the air with my radiomaster t16s? I am using dsmx protocol. Also, anyone can tell me how to setup, using flaps as ailerons in sync with the ailerons. Thanks
I am doing well thanks. Might be broken receiver or radio antenna. Should be getting way more that that. Search for my Full House setup video
Turn off telemetry, that Spectrum RX has none?
@@AndrewNewton dear andrew thank you for your amazing videos. I figured it out , you need just to disable telemetry warnings with dms receivers. Do you have a website where i can correspond with you directly?
What the amazing fonts in OSD?
I think it's Impact
@@AndrewNewton Thank you, Andrew!
I had to order one as soon as I saw the relatively low price.
Yes, great value for money
Hi.
I need telemetry, does it have it ?
Yes
@@AndrewNewton Thank you Andrew
Best regards
Can't get mine to bind to any of my toys.
Good job Mr Newton your allows to given good idea thanks for that . Your from were Mr Newton .
Hello from Australia
Rebranded Jumper T16?
Parallel design, they started together then Jumper and RadioMaster split to follow different development directions
Hey You Beat Bruce Simpson Out On This Review!!! LOL Thanks PS What Do You Think The Best + Cheap Telemetry RX W/Vario+ ???
XJet is waiting to do the Jumper 18 and this set as a comparison
G-RX8 if you shop around
are you guys not having a lockdown in Australia?
Restrictions eased at the start of this week.
How are they making money on this transmitter?! It seems so nice! Time to ditch my spektrum DX7s
Temporary price war maybe?
how is it for pinchers?
Dont know any pinchers.
how far can you fly on your own radio module?
Do you mean the internal multi module?
@@AndrewNewton yes, multi module
I'm guessing >1.5k but have not tested
8% for this rc transmitter
for all banggood friends of coupons 12$ "pArts8"
ordered m first a few weeks ago - and now the second one after the strong influencer marketing appeared all over yt and the "named badges"
usb charging works out of the box and RC Sim too at least under Windows 10
the radiomaster is really balanced hooked to the laneyard
Hi,
Great video and review.
I purchased myself a TX16S with the crossfire module and should be shipping in a few days. I’m very interested in the custom sliders. I don’t have a 3D printer and was wondering if I pay you for them, would you be willing to print me s pair and mail them to me?
Thanks.
Sorry Sam but I'm avoiding the Post Office for a while. Thingiverse has a Print this option or you can find a local print service.
Andrew Newton
Understood and thanks anyways!
Andrew Newton
Hi Andrew,
I don’t see the “Print this” option on the Thingiverse link that you provided for the Slider mods!
Your R9M antenna is mounted wrong, it should be vertical and not horizontal.
It depends on the position of the antenna on your aircraft. If it's vertically on the aircraft, it should also be vertically on the radio. There's no "right or wrong" position
Vertical and horizontal on the plane, but yes vertical on the radio would be more appropriate for long range.
@@AndrewNewton vertical and horizontal on the plane is the right way but on the Tx it should be vertical, horizontal focuses a significant portion of the radiation towards the ground.
Having it horizontal is essentially the same as putting the 2.4ghz dipole on the tx horizontal, something nobody would ever do but most don't realise the polarisation of the super 8 antenna on the R9M.
Thanks Steve
Seems like the strap obscures the screen
Yes it does
How do mode 2 to mode1 pleas tank yuo
Choose in the menu, then open the back and swap the throttle spring and rocker lever to the other gimbal
@@AndrewNewton Tank you , from Italy
Touchscreen, EdgeTX
All these radios are great for future reference but my QX7 just keeps working & working & working.
Yep, great simple radio.
I'm blaning to build first grub RC in Sudan I went from u to help me . My tcher . Do you have myne . Omer esawi from Sudan
R9 sucks...
