Happymodel 915MHz ExpressLRS Transmittter Module ES900TX

The ES900TX is Happymodel's updated 915MHz/868MHz ExpressLRS Transmitter module for long range flying. It is based on the open source software ExpressLRS that offer long transmission ranges, a reliable control link, and convenient features like over-the-air updates and a no-button binding procedure.

The Happymodel ExpressLRS system is plug and play with OpenTX radios such as the Radiomaster TX16S, Jumper T16, and Jumper T18. Long range has never been more accessible!

The updated ES900TX module now includes a heatsink and fan to counter the heat released during use. The included 2006 fan now automatically runs when the transmitter power is set to 250mW.
