Receiver Options We Can Install:

  1. ELRS (ExpressLRS): Our recommended option for most setups due to its range, reliability, and growing community support.
  2. Crossfire: Ideal for long-range flights and pilots looking for robust signal performance in challenging environments.
  3. FrSky: A popular choice for those who already use FrSky radios.
