My R9M Lite module had some issues right at the start. It took a fix which is linked above. But once I did that I was able to test it and had an amazing RSSI strength compared to 2.4Ghz. It was a quick test, but was enough to make me a believer and order everything available so I can test it all. The only reason I wouldn’t use the R9 system on everything is the antenna size. It’s a really big antenna, but I have a great confidence in my connection with it.

Awesome, dude! 😊
I saw a test of the "normal size" module (in a X9D, if I'm not mistaken) and, well... It went as good as the Crossfire. Believe or not.
I probably didn’t work that well. For flying I think it will be just fine. But the XFire has a lot of fancy bells and whistles this doesn’t
Yep, the normal module is just as good as Crossfire in terms of range, but the Crossfire has many more functions. But it should for more money!
Raymond Williams True!
I think the house on the far end has a security system or some RF transmission that may be interfering with your signals at that corner area. I regularly fly 300 meters with my XM+'s and my X9D+ tx. No issues. That corner for ALL your signal losses, as soon as you get away from the house, out toward the fairway usually and not necessarily any closer to you, your signal JUMPS back up. The R9M punches through that possibility obviously. Thanks for your work, great videos. Jeff
Great work, please keep on with your work about this transmitter. Thumbs up!!
I'll need to get rid of one of my radios and upgrade after watching this. Thanks Mark!
Sold! I'll be getting an x lite and r9m....thanks for the videos.
I don't understand why they went with a 'straight out' whip antenna. Most people generally fly in front of themselves so it's pointing the Null of the antenna basically in front of the Remote. I'd ditch it for a VAS diamond or make sure you stand 90 degree to the flight area.
I mean just look at your Quad and the radio in your ending comments. The antennas couldn't be more out of alignment. They both have to be upright and parallel to each other.
I wish I could thumbs up this comment a dozen times.
Was just about to comment that. Bad decision on their behalf
One of the problems spektrum radios have
This is such a cool remote!! Kinda wish i did not get the Qx7 but i am happy with it!!!!
GREAT FLYING
& GREAT CHANNEL!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
👍😀👍
gonna have to get a few of these mods on your videos mark for my new one.so these vids come well in handy
Woot Woot!!! People really Win.
Oh Yeah check marks battery shootout too you're going to want to get a couple.
You are so going to love that radio.
The Quadcopter Review shore have buddy thankyou
The Quadcopter Review they bloody do .still shocked i did.
This is wicked gonna take the market lmfao
I think that test shood be taken with a grain of salt as there are other houses witch in some small cases can drop your connection due to signal interfearances... But overall good.
Please add this video to your X-Lite playlist. Had to hunt this one down. Also, why do you keep assuming that the Crossfire system and the Diamond antenna are better? Sounds like a hype-based conclusion seeking confirmation bias for a purchase decision.
Nice, I bet it felt good to fly you're gt, again.
My bind button is on the bench. My receiver is in my quad. 😂
I learnt, don't use tape to stick down a receiver, if it's not in heat shrink!
I have been using my Q7X on liftoff sim. I think X-Lite would be better for and racing. A small mod with a holder and wires to use the bigger 1 watt R9X would be nice. I am a thumber. So I would buy the X-Lite instead if i could.
great video, thanks so much. Question, will you get a green led on the module when is correctly connected? I'm only getting a red light on the module, thanks
I dont understand why i need to pick analog RSSI instead over a channel.
It will interesting to see how will 900MHz perform on other controllers and drones. (Y)
Does the radio support D8 mode?
Have R9M lite/Slim+ with Immortal T. With regular firmware the rssi was all over the place and overall weak. The F-port firmware seemed solid until it failsafed at around 500 FEET. Never once had a failsafe on XSR or R-XSR. Did I get a defective unit?
Hey bud! Great videos! I got a question, which would you prefer the R9M lite or would it be better to get the bigger version?
TBD. I do really like the lite for short/mid range. I feel like I have absolute control. For long range I’m sure I’ll be better off with the full size. I just built a rig to test it.
DroneRacer101 brilliant! Good stuff! I’ll go for the lite then, also I’m from EU and bought the EU LBT version X lite, but hacked it to non EU, should I get the EU or Non EU R9M?
@@oxVirtuexo what did you do?
kudzy11 hope this helps
th-cam.com/video/2stGbyrQd1o/w-d-xo.html
what is the latency like? is it as quick as crossfire? haven't seen anyone do any sort of latency test or even give impressions on the latency of this system.
i have a xsr on mine and it said telemetry lost and recovered im flying about 100-300m
Angel Adriann check the description in this video. There was a production error on his.
Angel Adrianna check the frsky website there are firmware fixes for xsr and r-xsr receivers to solve that drop out issue.
can it work with l9r reciever
Mark, good insight. Could you please make a video of how far r9m lite can get us flying on a quad.
That is the plan. Unfortunately where I live it’s hard for me to get those in like I would like. I need to move to the country.
DroneRacer101 Thats great but its alright, a good review takes time, Totally understand that. Looking forward to it. Cheers Mark
Cual es el rango con el r9m lite?
still waiting for the LITE TX oh well ...
Do you experienced failsafes ?
I tried mine with radio loss and failsafe when the quad is very close to me, about 10 / 15 m, I use R9 Mini RX.
I will try with an other R9 Mini but it's pretty terrible for now :-/
I haven’t tried a mini yet. I heard someone having problems with the full size R9M but that was solved with a firmware update on the module.
Did you have to flash firmware on the module and the receiver? That’s the only thing keeping me from buying this system. They should flash everything at the factory. Instead of leaving it up to the customer.
They do flash it. But you should always update it. Don’t worry. It is really easy. How to upgrade the firmware on the FrSky R9M Lite Module for the FrSky Taranis X-Lite th-cam.com/video/1XaCc6MgXTg/w-d-xo.html
How do you set up f port on this with the r9mini reciever
You cant put the antennae like that. Do it as its supposed to be. Will be much better. Same as crossfire setup.
The guys on the FrSky R9 group on Facebook have done a bunch of testing and are quite adamant that a vertical installation is best.
Yes. But not both ends together.
it's supposed to be a T.
nice! it seems very good now. But... i have to replace all my xm+ receiver right?
will it work with xm+?
tay jin chong the r9m works in much lower frequency and the
xm+ works only on 2.4 ghz
I see... thanks. That's sad. Need to replace them then.
tay jin chong do you already have the r9m module or planning to get it.
just planning ... for now... if i get this X lite
how about updating Frshy receiver with this X-Lite? Such as having XM+ to show rssi. (is it the same as qx7?)
My R9 Mini just came so I’ll be updating that soon.
So should we hold off till the R9M stuff is more refined?
The one issue with the R9M Lite is pretty easy to resolve, if you aren't comfortable with that wait a month before ordering one. The full size module had a couple of revisions already and should be good to go. The receivers are pretty good now too, so I don't have any problem going with it. Right now I'm struggling to figure out why I wouldn't use it on everything. It's pretty much just antenna size.
How far is it again to the trees? Your videos help me decide to get one. Thanks.
200ish meters. Not even close to the maximum range of this things.
So I’m not the only one flying in angle sometimes. 🙃🙂
Nope, I use it a lot when I am testing and there is the possibility of losing control or video. I want to be able to let got of the stick and have it level itself while I either kill the throttle or give it more to correct the issue if I can't see where level is.
Not good, Rssi drop rapidly
That antenna is utter shit
