72 I'm with Bruce Simpson and Joshua Bardwell when it comes to the Horus range.
Best avoided.
If I hadn't got into Devo radios and DeviationTX at the start, I would have bought a Taranis X9D Plus.
Any radio which has a colour screen was obviously designed by someone who has never flown with the radio in question. The screen is supposed to be functional and legible in any conditions, including bright sunshine!

388 Good point about the color screen. Even a very good color screen will have difficulty in bright sunlight.
I know Joshua hated the Horus X12. Maybe I have to wait and see what other are saying about the new design and don't be the early adopter. One of my worry is size. Might be too big.
I guess, for now, no flying for a while.

72 I have quite small hands and the Devo 7e is the perfect fit for me. Even so, I also have a Devo 10 which is a much larger radio and that's also fine.
One of the first radios I bought was a Spektrum DX6i and that's actually wide enough that it's uncomfortable for me to fly with my thumbs on the sticks. I believe the Horus radios are a similar size.
Colour screens look great in a shop or on a product brochure, but that's about it. With the monochrome screens on my Devo radios, I can even read them without my reading glasses when I'm outside and that's a real bonus!
