While I’m waiting I figured I might could put my opinion on my goggles and tx. Because why not. Maybe somebody will actually find this helpful.

There nothing outstanding but they get the job done. They are a bit front heavy so it takes a bit of effort to keep your head up and pointed towards the plane when flying long distance. to get better range I swapped out the stock antennas for some from video Ariel systems

I absolutely love this remote. The gimbals are far smoother than what I have seen on even the swankiest spektrum and the trims are easier to reach than the ds6e we have.
On the software side it’s absolutely mind blowing. It’s infinitely customizable and is cabable of pretty much anything. The learning curve is pretty much straight up but once you figure it out it’s extremely easy to do stuff really fast. The scroll wheel comes stock way to sensitive but I garentee you can turn that down in the settings. I just haven’t been bothered to do it.
The cons are it’s not as well built as spektrum the plastic antenna housing where it joints striped out within about 15 minutes of getting it out of the box. Another thing about it is it’s not ergonomic in the slightest. It’s just a box. It also weighs a bit more than some and with all the switches there isn’t many places to put your fingers. Using a neck strap fix’s all of that tho. It makes trimming a plane out sooo much easier.
