However, HK should have given much credit to Eriz and other authors of both er9x and th9x on their website.

Update: Guess they've done that, but only in retrospect.

Yea..They should have been more specific while giving acknowledgement instead of giving credits to the entire RC community.It has nothing to do with me,so i really dont care  >Cheesy..And i dont think the developers are gonna stop development for this simple reason.

Ok..I am gonna keep the review as brief as possible..There's gonna be nothing regarding programming, further review will be made after i get the module.

First of,lets all consider the fact that this particular radio is never the version 3 of the flysky th9x(which was rebranded by turnigy) like most of the people think. The turnigy 9x itself was a flysky th9x knock off. Turnigy managed to tweak some changes with the original radio like their V2 firmware and antenna which came attached to the Tx instead of the module.These changes were never seen in the flysky.
So in short,the exterior physical parts consisting of Tx housing,knobs,switches were all designed in house by Turnigy which is owned by hextroniks which also owns HobbyKing.The rest of the parts like the PCB(MCU and other components) and LCD are the exact same as the previous version.

The major improvements when compared to the turnigy 9x

-ergonomics,the ball bearing gimbals feel great,switches and knobs though not the best is good when the price is considered.The Tx is much slimmer which is quite apparent.Really nice to hold and operate considering the position of the switches.The housing has a handle which is a definite requirement.The sticks can be height adjusted and comes very handy for different set of people using other radios.And the plastics are also of decent quality which is gonna make it last a little longer.You also have the option to switch face-plates,which is simply awesome!

-Some changes are brought in with transmitter which were considered mods in the previous version.These changes brings flexibility to the users
  Provision to connect 3s lipo with a balance plug connector
  AVR port to re flash with custom firmwares (Note:It comes with a 6 pin connector)
  Back lit LCD
  Internal antenna(not a previous mod and i am kinda apprehensive about these)
  Futaba trainer port which comes useful for power for fpv application and extended trainer compatibility

-scope,though the whole radio revolves around the opensource compatibility and support for different mods.When it comes to hardware mods you are a bit tight on space inside.They shouldn't have used the same MCU if they were looking for hardcore open source enhancement.This is gonna limit the immense possibilities of the radio. Hopefully a third party PCB additions like ersky would come handy for the advanced users.But it is definitely a consolation for the general non advanced users(like me) wholooks forward to have the flexibility without having to solder anything.


Modules supported by the radio

Though Turnigy claims the radio supports all JR compatible modules,keeping apart technical compatibility modules like frsky have trouble fitting in without having to brush some plastic off to get contact with all the 5 pins.All the orange modules fits in good,not sloppy and pins makes perfect contact.They also have a DSM module which utilizes the internal antenna of the Tx made particularly for this radio

Battery support

I got my zippy 2200maH 3s lipo to fit in the battery bay.According to me this is the maximum recommended capacity as the space becomes tight with the battery and the power plug inside.The position of the connector should have been placed somewhere else because when you close the battery lid,it causes strain on the balance wires. Turnigy warns us to be careful while using other batteries as the balance wire configuration may be different. I am not sure of they actually mean .They have a battery being released just for the 9xr. Regarding the DC battery charger port,i really don't know why its actually even there.Some people in the 9xr forum says the battery meant for this radio is gonna have some kind of inbuilt circuitry to perform balancing while we charge it through the DC port Tongue.The package comes with a sticky foam to be used inside the battery bay.


Rating

I would give it a 9/10 considering,

price($49.99) - 10/10,
looks - 9/10(they are just too good,specially with the lighting),
flexibility - 9/10(AVR port,Futaba port,Lipo support,Module support)
ergonomics - 8/10

Succinct review my friend. I too feel they should've replaced the MCU with an ARM chip perhaps (they'd have had to rewrite the fw in that case) and thrown in frsky integrated and matched the price to t9x with module. Honestly, I think the 2.4 rubber ducky antenna sticking out looks much cooler Wink. it looks more like a Tx then.

Thanks girish..a radio without antenna is like ladu without sugar  Tongue..sources say hk has already retweaked er9x,if they had chosen a powerful atmega series of processors only minor changes would have required with the code..i think the ,primary reason would be to keep the price at the 50 dollar margin..The radio already offers so much for so less,asking more would be really unfair from a seller's perspective..iam one happy man Grin,cant ask for more..

The one difference that really looks good is the change in the gimbals especially for 'dusty' flyers like me. That I'd consider a real hardware change. But yes its like buying a t9x modded by professionals; and saving *a lot* of effort

Notice on er9x forum:

IMPORTANT NOTICE - TURNIGY 9XR
Hobbyking/Turnigy ave just released a radio called 9XR which has a port for a programmer and an installed backlight. This is a very welcome addition since it makes programming the radio very easy for the novice. That being said, they have not given credit to the originators and contributors and they have not released the code as required by the GNU 2.0 software license.
So while we are very happy to see them make the 9XR radio we do want them to acknowledge the hard work and the effort made by all the contributors. Please let them know how you feel about this.
We have tried to contact them but have not been able to receive any response. We'll update here if and when we get one.

The Eurgle/FlySky/Imax/Turnigy 9x r/c Transmitter is a nicely built unit basically copied from a more recognized manufacturer.

The unit itself hosts an Atmel AtMega64 8-bit MCU. The hardware includes 2 sticks, 3 potentiometers and 7 switches. It also supports a 128x64px screen without a back light.

This project aims to replace the software that comes with the standard transmitter with a more powerful and flexible version.

This project is based on he th9x project. http://code.google.com/p/th9x/

This is published on http://code.google.com/p/er9x/
