I follow John Hopke on RCVideoreviews on Discord, as he continuously seeks out new developments in RC.
He published this today
FlySky FRM303: Next Level Radio Control Tech and Everything You Need to Know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb9N-bVfY2g
Basically Flysky (a RC brand no-one I know uses) have been working with edgetx developers and have created a new serial protocol, ibus2, that works in a new tx module for a Flysky tx that increases the serial stream speed 3-fold compared to crossfire. This is a big deal as it creates room for better telemetry, and easier setup of complex line of sight planes and also long range fpv. I found the above video well worth the effort.
The RC manufacturer most associated with edgetx and elrs is Radiomaster. So even if Flysky is first out the gate with ibus2, Radiomaster will likely not be forgotten as ibus2 becomes more widely used.
I think the tx and module John shows in the video is not yet available on AliExpress (where you buy Flysky stuff), and I am not recommending Flysky here. But it suggests Flysky may soon give industry leaders a shake.
Flysky does have an edgetx tx:
FLYSKY EL18 2.4G AFHDS3 EdgeTX Radio Transmitter for AUD 407
but I dont know if it will run ibus2 protocol. It does not run elrs.
