    Thanks for finding out how the Zorro handles the rain! If you do start using it a lot, I think a lot of people would be interested in hearing how the battery life is when used as a main radio.

    Nice small form factor radio. Great demonstration with that large glider. It's great that it comes with a full 4-in-1 module. Thanks for the review Andrew. See you in the Air!

    Nice little radio, and a lovely flight, too.
    I cannot understand why Spektrum haven't got on this trend for 'game controller' style handsets, Instead of their bricks. I want a lightweight radio with a wrist strap for dlg, and my Rxs are Spekkie...

    The radiomaster cells are only 900mah, I found some 1100mah 18350 cells locally here in the UK for only £5 ($9AUD) each, so I bought 4 of them. Takes less than a minute to swap them over, but I haven't needed to so far, I don't have enough LiPos for my planes to be out flying longer than 90ish minutes or so... at which point the batteries in the zorro are nowhere near low enough to need swapping out.

    Hi Andrew. Congrats for your Video. Currently I have Radiomaster Tx16s (4 in 1 version). I'm happy but I find it a little big and heavy. I'm considering to switch it to the Zorro. This radio offer the same freautures concerning the range and protocols compatibility as the TX16s? Thanks in advance and regards!

    • @AndrewNewton
      @AndrewNewton  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I suspect the Zorro range will be less but it's fine out to 1.5km. Havent tested futher than that. Same protocols if you get the 4in1 version.
