About
About RadioMaster
RadioMaster designs and manufactures radio-control equipment at its Shenzhen headquarters and factory. Its product range includes handheld transmitters, receivers, external radio-frequency modules, antennas, gimbals, batteries and accessories for model aircraft, first-person-view drones, surface vehicles and other remotely controlled platforms. The company sells directly online and through an international dealer and repair network.
RadioMaster builds around open hardware standards and open-source software ecosystems. Its transmitters support EdgeTX, and the company participates in that project's development; selected modules and receivers use ExpressLRS and other established control protocols. The radios carry pilot commands and return telemetry between the operator and vehicle. Flight stabilization, navigation and autonomous behaviour remain functions of the connected flight controller and onboard software, not the RadioMaster transmitter itself.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-07-10 - Deployment - RadioMaster TX16S MK3 controls aerial filming at Long March-10B recovery
The aerial photography team selected the controller for a one-take mission at the Hainan launch site. The radio link supported a fixed-wing camera aircraft operating around the launch and recovery area. RadioMaster presents the use as a professional deployment beyond its core enthusiast market.
Source - 2024-12-08 - Demonstration - RadioMaster systems sustain control links during severe Asia Global 3D interference
More than 60 pilots competed at the Longgang Low Altitude Intelligent Integration Testing Base from 6–8 December. Interference disrupted other systems severely enough that organizers moved the event, while the RadioMaster setup continued operating in the original RF environment. MinChan Kim won using TX16S MKII, NEXUS and ExpressLRS, and seven-time champion Kenny Ko test-flew the same configuration.
