Instead of using the DIY module, why not just use the JR-compatible module?

And there are much better options than Corona now.

Well there are quite a few to choose from and most of them are pretty good.

I'm about to do my final summary/comparison but I think it's fair to say that most of the Chinese-made modules/receivers are now perfectly adequate and which is "best" depends on what your specific needs are.

Instead of listing all the positives (because that's a very long list), I'll just list some of the features that are missing from some of the offerings:

Corona has neither a power-down range-test nor a persistent failsafe and there have been some QC issues.  It also lacks sensible antenna diversity (despite having two antennas).

Assan lacks a good transmitter module antenna mounting and on the unit I tested, it only used one frequency, despite being labeled "V2".  Assan also lacks antenna diversity despite having two "wires" coming out of their receivers.

FrSky has had some issues with the module plastic not fitting well in all makes of transmitter.

FlyDream V1.2 had issues with swamping and slightly jerky servo movements.  It also lacked true antenna diversity, simply coupling the two wires together in the receiver rather than switching between them based on signal-strength.  I'm presently testing the new V3 system which looks much better, that review will be up before the weekend.

FlySky has less range than the rest and no user-set failsafe. I'm also a bit concerned about the build-quality of the FlySky receivers and transmitter module.  I've had two (out of six) fail here for no apparent reason.

But, as I say, the full summary of all the offerings and their respecitve strengths/weaknesses will be pubilshed shortly.

They all work - it's just that some will work better than others depending on what you consider to be important.

Thanks for that... I have a JR 2610 which I would like to mod with the Corona DIY. Will I be ok with this setup?
