Warning the JR X9303 with 2.4 does not have model match protection!! How do I know, watch the video. I flew my FPV Radian with my Habu selected! Everything worked fine except the elevator which was reversed. Radian is totaled...fuse broke in 4 planes, motor destroyed (badly), prop broke, servo stripped, lipo slightly stuffed.

apparently the X9303 (the original with the interchangable modules) doesnt have model match...oh well, learned a lesson.

A good reminder to ALWAYS do a preflight check.

Oh man sorry to see that.

Any of your FPV equipment broken? This totally sucks ATIS I hope all the goodies inside are ok.

Did you hand launch or bungee launch, she certainly was going in a forward direction at the start of the video.

Scott, lots of damage..

fuse broke in 3 places...broke both the upper and lower saddle, stripped both servos, killed the prop, killed the motor, slightly damaged the lipo (3s 2200 25c)....

Going to buy a PNP and mod the fuse...glass it...

Hate to read this taught the JR9303 was model match or all DSM rx was coded.. and almost all hi end radio's were model match.. humm sorry to here about your plane.

I have the original X9303 with the interchangable modules for 2.4 and 72.

That's correct, only the native 2.4 GHz radios have model match. If they are the plug in module TXs, they do not support Model Match. This includes the 9303 and 12X models.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.
