I receive a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make a purchase after clicking one of the affiliate links below.
Buy the Five33 Switchback and Motors at:
* Five33 (USA) - https://flyfive33.com
* Five33 (EU) - https://flyfive33.eu/
Buy the Aikon F7 Mini HD at:
* RaceDayQuads - https://bit.ly/3um4OCM
* Pyro-Drone - https://bit.ly/3ehUI09
* Catalyst Machineworks - https://bit.ly/33g8gmL
* Banggood - https://bit.ly/3um7Bfe
Pyro's and CMW's listing for the Aikon F7 is the V3 version. I use the V2 version in the video, and there are some slight differences between them--specifically the way the 5v/10v solder bridge works. I'm including the links to the V3 just in case the V2 is out of stock and you decide to go with the V3.
Buy the Redux Air 32 bit ESC at:
* Redux Air - https://bit.ly/3elWAF4
* ThrottleUpUSA - https://bit.ly/3tm60oo
There are allmost no dealers for the Redux at this time; and the Redux may be out of stock for a while. A good alternative is the Aikon 20mm ESC (bonus: you won't have to make a custom wire harness to go between FC and ESC if you get the Aikon).
Buy the Aikon AK32 ESC at:
* GetFPV - https://bit.ly/3enRacZ
* Pyro-Drone - https://bit.ly/3nSzNDX
* RaceDayQuads - https://bit.ly/3um68Wg
* Catalyst Machineworks - https://bit.ly/3ek3gUo
* Banggood - https://bit.ly/3tjHuUV
CMW links to the 35A ESC. Other links are to the 50A or 55A ESC. Obviously, I suggest the higher rated ESC if it's available.
Buy the Runcam Racer Nano V2 at:
* RaceDayQuads - https://bit.ly/2ytNBQ1
* GetFPV - https://bit.ly/2R0cU2w
* NewBeeDrone - https://bit.ly/3o21cDT

I've updated my video, "all modes on one aux channel," to a new method that is 1) simpler to set up, and 2) can work on ANY radio, not just OpenTX. This video is not just for Jumper fans!
Watch all my Jumper T16 content including how to transfer models and settings from another radio, how to install multiprotocol module, and more at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwoDb7WF6c8mgG9SipKiB-x3dL4n55jFV
--- PRODUCT LINKS ---
I receive a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make a purchase after clicking one of the affiliate links below.
The Jumper T16 is not available in many popular stores. Some dealers have reported to me that FrSky pressured them not to carry the Jumper. This may be why the Jumper T16 is hard to find.
The official Jumper store is on Aliexpress at: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5108044
Purchase the Jumper T16 MultiProtocol Radio Transmitter at:
* Newbeedrone - http://bit.ly/2OeWulz
* AliExpress - http://bit.ly/2MdrIaL
* Hobbycool - http://bit.ly/2ULMnsO
* Amazon - https://amzn.to/2D6v3EV
* Pyro-Drone - http://bit.ly/2Ko2RmI
* Grayson Hobby - http://bit.ly/324kNaF
Purchase the Jumper T16 internal multiprotocol module at:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000209741530.html
To tell if you need the multiprotocol module, look at whether the product picture has the antenna mounted in the top of the radio like in my video, or whether the radio has a dummy plug at the top of the radio. If the radio has an antenna sticking out its top, then it already has the multiprotocol module installed.
