| The Devo12 is the Rolls-Royce of Walkera radios. Compared to radios from other companies, I don't think you can beat it for the price, but it is also much more than most people will ever need in a transmitter. | The Devo12 is the Rolls-Royce of Walkera radios.

| It is hard to beat Walkera's lineup for the price. The Turnigy9x with er9x is probably a better value if you want to solder a bunch of modules into it, but a Walkera Tx running Deviation supports a lot more protocols without needing to modify the transmitter other than a reversible firmware flash. The one issue I have with Walkera is their quality-control. All of the Walkera transmitters I own are well built and reliable, but other folks have gotten lemons. I think Walkera standalone Rx are overpriced and feature limited and my RX1202 is very frustrating, but those embedded in helis seem to be much better overall. | It is hard to beat Walkera's lineup for the price.
